Take it what you will.

Think, you wait six months for something.
And just when that wait is over, it doesn't come.

Just when the main source of everything is sliding down the tier, just when your eyes are distracted by another, just when.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I waited SIX months for the fucking Sayo Doll to be animated. A TALKING WALKING Sayo doll. You add in crap that wasn't even slated to be IN the OAD, and then cut something that actually was!? SOMETHING ACTUALLY IMPORTANT!?!? I don't care about Ako, or Makie, or even KAZUMI during the fireworks! Nor do I care about Sayo at the convienience store or at the school, or Misora and Cocone or Satsuki! THOSE BASTARDS SAID that this specific chapter would be shown in this specific episode, but then you put another chapter, a FILLER, and then CUT AN IMPORTANT CANON SCENE!?!?! You know what, fans? Go ahead and flame me for complaining that they cut Makie riding on Yuuna's back. Fine, it wasn't that important anyway, just fanservice I wanted, BUT THE EXPLANATION OF THE SAYO DOLL. THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE FUTURE. Especially when they're making FOUR MORE OADS with the same fail!animation besides a few exceptions (in this OAD the Chisame/Negi segment had the best animation but mostly everything else had fail animation (though the fight scene/ANY SCENE Anya was in wasn't too bad) IT'S NOT JUST FANSERVICE OR USELESSNESS YOU CUT, IT'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT THAT FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT READING THE MANGA (and why the fuck aren't they!?) would not get and thus = PLOTHOLE. Then you add in a FILLER. A GODDAMN FILLER. NO ONE CARES.

Fuck it. I fucking hate animes. I hate those animes, of everything. All animes. They fail. They ALL do. Animes do the original no justice, whatsoever. I can give you millions of examples. Some animes that go their own way can end up being cool too (Full Metal Alchemist) but the manga, the original is ALWAYS ALWAYS better. NO MATTER WHAT. Look at Tales of an Abyss. The game had lovely animation, what the hell happened in the anime!? What the hell is with these failure of an animes? WHY DO YOU STEAL KOREA AWAY FROM HETALIA!? (Actually I know why, I just think it's a pretty dumb reason to) (I'm quite sad, quite sad over that still especially since I discovered great awesomeness of such a character) In the end animes just end up as money-grabbing useless fanservice. Sure, the fanservice is great for a while but in the end it's just...not the same.

So as of now Spotto will boycott all anime. That's right. I will not buy anymore anime. I will not buy DVDs or CDs nor support the anime industry or anything licensed by anime. I'll buy manga or toys or something, but not anime. I'll still watch the ones on the internet because of curiosity, just to see if MAYBE they won't cut anything else to make the story make less sense, or maybe they won't and I'll be joyous. Because that's all anime is. You might say boycotting something would mean less money to the mangaka or creators or something, but they lose barely anything (not because it's just me boycotting, I mean in the sense of lots of people doing so) because it's just like music. The anime industry/records get ALL the money, and very little of the profit go to the mangaka/artist. THEY get money from merchandise and perhaps in the example of a person writing manga, the money the manga itself makes, but anything else is just another company trying to rip money off of people.

As for what I meant when I said "the main source of everything is sliding down the tier, just when your eyes are distracted by another"? Well, I've been rather distracted lately, one reason is because Negima just...sucks right now. If it was a few months ago I would have imagined myself being very excited because something BIG would happen to Ako, but now what I'm finding out is a big disappointment. Ako's character fails. If Ako ends up finding out Nagi is Negi and barely caring then I...don't know what the hell I should be reading this manga anymore. Yes the mangaka works hard every week making this for people, some of us not even bothering to buy the books, but seriously? That outcome sucks. It just plain sucks. That is poor storytelling and poor characterization. I really hope I'm wrong. I wrote "With In, Out Cast" because of Ako, and I am deciding how to end the story by figuring out how Ako reacts to a huge lie in her life, and if she reacts in the ridiculous stupid and harem-like way, then I will never continue nor end my story. I would be far too disappointed to do a thing to it. I've been defending Ako's character for a long time and if the results just sucks, then I just shouldn't bother.

Also the fans. I just don't like them. There's fans of Twilight, crazy people, fans of yaoi, also crazy people, but these guys may not be crazy, they're just rather...I dunno. They're delirious fanboys who only see the story going their favourite character's way, and I already know from my love of not-very-popular characters that the story will NEVER go their way and that not seeing them for six volumes is NORMAL but people not seeing their VERY popular character for three chapters makes them go insane. Really? Wow?

And the distraction? What's my distraction right now? I can look at my pictures of Kazumi on my wall and ask myself why it's still there right now because Negima sucks right now, really. I know you want to write shonen fighting crap Akamatsu, but you are really forgetting the girls in the manga. You can write a full-fledged action-packed testosterone filled manga after, but this manga is a FUSION of both right now. As in it has both fighting and the qualities of comedy, romance, and happy stuff like that. I liked reading the manga when there was fighting, like Negi fighting his dad, or Negi fighting Chao, but they accomplished much thanks to the help of many others, thanks to Chisame, to Konoka, to all these people who do not fight. At the moment in the manga the only person helping Negi is himself by fighting...a bunch of other testosterone-filled characters, by shoving the other people helping off-screen instead of talking about them side-by-side, and by forgetting about a character that fans have been attacking for chapters, and I'm starting to see why. Don't kill their characterization. Don't kill Ako.

Where's Setsuna fighting? Where's Kaede? Where's Asuna for god's sake? What are you doing to Ako!?

Geh. I suppose I'm not the one doing the storytelling, so I shouldn't be complaining, but that fandom of mine is extremely frustrating at the moment. On the plus side, the OAD besides that rather large flaw was actually pretty good.

AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BEEN DISTRACTED BY HETALIA. :D THAT FANDOM CAN EAT YOUR LIFE, SRSLY. IT'S TRUE. DO YOU KNOW HOW AWESOME THOSE CHARACTERS ARE!? ALL ARE LOVABLE! I ESPECIALLY LIKE CHINA. YES, YAO IS CUTE AND SEXEH :DDDDD

Also Vancouver transit sucks. Let me explain:
My class ends at 5:20pm, the bus leaves at 5:20pm. WHAT CONVIENIENT SCHEDULING. So I miss that bus, and wait...the next bus is at 5:35! So I wait...lalalaladeeda...where the fuck is that bus!? And it comes late! Huzzah, so we leave right away, zoom pass many cars and suddenly we're stuck in traffic. Oh, that's just great. Then I realize the annoying people sitting next to me screaming at each other's faces like they're on the other side of a mountain. So I sit in traffic...falalalalalaa, good god, such huge traffic. Eventually we get out of the traffic long after the sun has gone down. I look into my watch and it's 6:12pm. The bus I catch at the train station leaves at 6:45pm, which is the last bus. The bus I am on just went over the bridge, so I was still a good 50 minutes from the train. JEESUS. I had to take a detour to try to catch my last bus, by getting on a different train station (this is the skytrain btw, light rail not a real train lol) and the annoying people had to go on the train too so it was great! They followed me, huzzah! Oh, but when I got onto the train station, the lovely train just left, and this particularly train route was the slowest route of the skytrain routes, so a good 6-11 minutes for the next one to come rather than the usual every two minutes. And when it finally comes I go to transfer routes, and end up missing THAT train too! Huzzah. There was a train directly behind it, so I thought that was nice but it just zoomed past us.....so we waited a long while for the NEXT train, and I finally caught that! Then I looked at my watch: 6:46pm...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUufbdbgnfgdsd

So I had to take a DIFFERENT bus which lovely enough came just in time or I might have missed THAT as well, but I didn't like that bus because it always had too much people and stopped too far away from my house near no nearby intersection whatsoever. Jaywalking in black clothes is awesome, just awesome. IN FRONT OF AN AMBULANCE HOUSE TOO. Then I get home and my mom is like: WTF ARE YOU LATE.

And all this just had to happen on a day when I REALLY want to go home. (It's taking me quite a long time to go through this 'Hetalia' fandom. See? Eats your life.)

Livejournal should be called WAHHjournal. Srsly that's pretty much all I do on here xDDDD
(China is love)

I seriously read a history book on the Korean War because of Hetalia. I is dork.

Current Mood: annoyed

....okay, seriously though.

I know two people. They are pretty much complete opposites of each other, but amazingly both my friends :3. I'm pretty sure they read this blog too, but who knows. Anyway, I've known one much longer than the other (though I didn't realize that at first, Spotto fail) but at the moment both of them have influenced my personality since the day I've met them, and for that I thank them. What interests me is that they're completely different from each other. Normally people would hang out with people who more often than not share the same viewpoint, interest, or attitude with each other. One is more bold, while the other is more reserved, but there are the few occasions where those attributes may be switched. One is more like Aoi-dono, while the other is like Kirami. (LOL. Damn, too much similarities to other friends. In fact I can even compare them to my high school buddies who are best friends. One is more reserved but weirder which is amusing, while the other is more bold and hilarious.)

Ah, so it is no surprise that I believe they have man crushes on each other. :3

I believe what I am trying to say is that I cannot believe that such differences can be friends. And yet differences is what has ignited so many conflicts of varying degrees over the period of forever. Wars have begun because of differences, fights have happened when personalities clash, and although the people I have described won't exactly be peaceful with each other ALL the time, it still amazes me that more disagreements and arguments have not popped up, and not just them but for all people like this. I suppose the answer to that is tolerance.

One is more aloof, reserved, and prefers the back of the dodgeball court to avoid getting hit, unless provoked, while the other will jump ahead and try to hit everybody while dodging like a raving maniac, unless they're bored. It's the passive and active argument. I've been described as a very passive person, and perhaps I am, perhaps I'm not. I suppose since I'm generally not very motivated and ridiculously lazy, I can be passive in that way. Another way is that sometimes I don't want to do commit to important tasks such as coming to terms with important decisions since I have the fear of doing something wrong, so I leave it to the more experienced.

Now, whether the passive person is like that or just doesn't care, I'm not sure. I'm inclined to lean towards the: "They have no self-esteem" area and I think that's the correct answer anyway, while the other is slightly arrogant. Arrogance is not bad because confidence is good, and as long as they aren't too arrogant there's nothing wrong with that because most of the time he can back it up. So in this case, being bold is good, but at the same time there are times where one should not speak out. And I can tell you since guy's brains are wired differently, most of them have absolutely no idea when those times are resulting in insensitive out bursts, so perhaps in this case being reserved is good for it's the safe way and there is no risk.

Pros and cons everywhere eh.

Regardless, both great people in many different ways. One knows that, the other denies it. You can guess who.

-

Another comparison of a different calibre because I do not know these people personally and they're somewhat-kind-of maybe famous. This is hockey stuff and fandom stuff. If you've seen my name on MSN, you would know.

Recently the 2009 IIHF World Juniors ended, and it was an epic tournament indeed. In the preliminary game, Canada was playing USA, a classic matchup. It had almost everything. Big hits, dirty plays, amazing goals, timely saves, and an epic comeback. Now I don't really condone dirty plays for it's very unsportsmanlike, but those types of plays makes the rivalry much more heated up and when you hate the opposition even more, beating them becomes so much more satisfying.

In the first period USA pounced on Canada with three quick goals to take a commanding lead, and the building was all but roaring. You would think that finally after four years of victories, perhaps this is the day Canada would fall off the charts? Before you could contemplate more while hoping this so-far horrible game would end, the excitement finally rises out from down under. John Tavares with an amazing solo effort gets Canada on the board, and it's now 3-1. After all, it's still the first period, everything can't end yet! There's forty minutes of play after the period so all is not lost in tying the score up!

The fans would not have to wait that long. Before the period even ended, Tavares once again shined and shrunk the lead to one. It is now 3-2, tensions are rising on the American bench. How could their lead be cut so short so quickly? The momentum is no longer with the visiting team. The fans are revved up, the players are pumped up. It's time to take this game back from this Americans because this is Canada's game. While Canada celebrates their goal, the agitated Americans certainly show their frustration, or at least one player does. His stick harmlessly pokes out the bench while the canadian players skate by, or so they would think. The stick takes out a Canadian player, and all emotions rise to defend him. A hit is thrown onto another american player, who lays spawled on the ice. Oh, it's on now.

Before they could all calm down though, Canada once again emerges with the tying goal. Everything was up for grabs again going into the second period, with 3-3 as the score. The rest of the game continues, Tokarski making a big save at 5-4, and the final score? 7-4. Would you even believe they were down 0-3 in the first place?

Now they face the Russians.

After having defeated the Czechs, the Russians are out for some Canadian blood. Losing the preliminary round would not eliminate the team, but it would make the road to gold much longer. Canada having won that, would now move to the semi-finals. Any losses here is the end. No gold or even silver for you if you lost here. So it was now or never...

The game was fairly simple. We scored. They scored. We score again. They score again. Repeat process. What was the bad thing though? The Russians kept tying up the game! How can the Canadians shut them down and secure a spot in the finals like this? Late in the third period, with the score 4-4, it looked like perhaps the game would need extra time to end it, but to the horror of all Canadians, the Russians scored. It was now 5-4, and the Canadians had little time to jump back. For fans such as Spotto, who is used to watching the Canucks never scoring at the last minutes to tie it up when down, I had thought it was all over for Canada. Pack you bags everyone, we'll try for the bronze medal...

How wrong was I to foolishly believe that this young Canadian team was anything like those Canucks?

As if there was some hidden tiny little hope within my body, I continued watching anyway, and even though there was only 17 seconds left, the Canadians took advantage of the what-seemed to be the final icing call. They went to the faceoff and spent as if an eternity at the boards. It felt like the puck would be stuck there and time would run out....and then Hodgson lifted the stick of a Russian defender, Tavares stole the puck and passed it to Eberle! And Eberle pulled the puck from under the spawling Russian defender to TIE THE GAME AT 5.4 SECONDS LEFT!

Can you believe the adrenaline that whole entire process brought?! Canada was 5.4 seconds from playing in the Bronze Medal game. It was that close. Overtime solved nothing, and so into the shootout they went, and they made no mistake. We capitalized on the shootout, our shooters shining and our goaltender standing on his head. The Russians were blanked, Canada was going to the Gold Medal game...

And their opponent? Sweden, who had defeated Russia 4-0 earlier in the tournament. Oh, Canada had a lot to fear here...it looked like they were the underdogs. This makes it so much better.

The game began, and a lot of fun looked to be ahead. Oh, but would it be clean? Certainly not. Our first goal came quick, jamming at the net and pretty much annoying the goaltender. The Canadians did that a lot, and in one incident one of the Swedish defenders struck Tavares in the face. Well that certainly wasn't very nice. More incidents happened, such as tapping the Swedish goaltender, and he decided that the light tap given by one of the Canadians was not a tap, but a dirty enormous hit that did not belong in the IIHF. Oh, how silly of this goaltender.

He did again about five more times. The most notable of which was when Esposito went by him, Markstrom. The star defencemen of Sweden, Hedman, jumped on Esposito right after, delivering punch after punch. That's right! How DARE he tap his goaltender!? How dare he skate by brushing pass to get to the puck!? My god, that should totally be BANNED from the IIHF! Why, what a dirty player!

So far Sweden was not very nice, or sportsmanlike, or even GOOD. The goalie, Markstrom, and Hedman were booed for the rest of the game. Serves them right. Not that Canada was completely nice, Della Rovare, the penalty-minute leader of this tournament decided that instead of simply tapping the goaltender, he would completely shove him into the ice. Still, Markstrom decided to make it more than it seemed anyway, and emotions picked up again. Markstrom himself went after Della Rovare, delivering punches and wrestling with the player. He should not have done that. If he did nothing Sweden would have a powerplay, but now they both went off, so it was only a 4-on-4. What a silly goaltender.

Well, not that a powerplay would DO anything for Sweden anyway. Hodgson and the PKers shut the door during Sweden's powerplay, and that team thought to be the medal favourite went 0-7. Did I mention right after this Canada scored again? Esposito with a beautiful shot. That's how you respond to dirty plays Sweden, not letting your goaltender beat the dirty player on Canada up when he himself is dirty.

The third period commences, and it was now 2-0. However Sweden was still to be feared, after all they did blank Russia 4-0. Luckily, Canucks Prospect Cody Hodgson decided that wiring a sniper shot during the powerplay was the best thing to do, and in Chuck Norris fashion, he did it. It was now 3-0. Sweden tried to scratch back up with a goal of themselves, but that would be all they could do as they our Canadians threw some pucks into the empty net. 5-1. It was over. The fans counted the seconds down by five. Canada won the gold for the fifth straight time. They did it. THEY DID IT.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sweet feeling of victory.

And so, Spotto is now on the Cody Hodgson bandwagon. Today I was on Youtube in boredom (why else would one be on Youtube?) and I decided that listening to Endless Sky for once would be nice. (Haven't touched music for a while) I stared at the album cover showcased on Youtube and noticed something about Kazumi's actress, Miho Aihara....

Holy.

Both of these people have a bit of similarity. First, their face shape. I ALWAYS notice face shape. Such as the early drawings of Aoi-dono in which her greatest weakness was the angle and the shape of the face. She's fixed it now and the pretty art is practically flawless. Both Miho and Cody have a "plump" face shape. They're not fat obviously, but their face is round and kind of square, not THAT square. Perhaps a square with rounded ends. The placement of the eyes, nose, and mouth. Same with the body...they seem kind of 'big' but not fat or anything.

And it's not just looks.

When you look at them, you think "Oh, well they don't really seem like they stand out much." And that is pretty true at first. Cody Hodgson was overshadowed by the hype of John Tavares, a potential first round pick in the 2009 Draft. And who the hell likes Kazumi? Certainly not me...oh wait I do, but not a lot of people do. There's a good amount, but an even less number in Japan. I wonder why is that. So really, what could these people bring to the table?

Ha.

Miho Mihara was by far the best actress in the Negima Drama. This isn't even a biased statement, there were quite of lot of people who agreed though even if she had the best acting ability and everything, her recognition never quite got as big as it should have. The more major characters were more hyped about by fans, such as Nodoka's apparently very cute actress, or such.

Cody Hodgson had the most points in the entire tournament. The experts say he was the MVP of the tournament, but officially? Tavares got the award. Hodgson didn't even get "Top Three" in the TEAM chosen by coaches. You'd think he would get more. He did get SOMETHING, as he ended up on the IIHF Tournament all-star roster, but you would wonder...Tavares is an offensive force. That's true, but I believe his best game was against USA, and he did not shine as much in the much more important games of Russia and especially Sweden.

Oh well.

Spotto will always go for these people.
The differences...the lack of recognizing achievement (officially), and of course wonderful friends of the first and regretably shorter rant. Lol.

This has been Spotto.

Current Mood: sleepy

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
My present to you is this lovely Christmas one-shot of Negima! Only three characters used!

( Santa Yuuna is Coming to Town! )
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Current Mood: cheerful

Inhale.

Exhale.

Relaxation.

To live a laid back lifestyle, lying or sitting on the bed, couch, chair...dreaming. Imagining what could have been, and what could become...where you would be, where you would have been if not for such and such circumstances. The emotions echo inside your head as you stare at the dirty windows or the stained ceiling just to sigh or breathe in...for tomorrow is another day.

All these other people entangled in their own personal lives, screaming out and reaching out for help, crumbling in their mounds of stress, and just watching as the sky disappears from their sight...to fall, to lay defeated.
It is through that thought where you think, where you wonder if such is normal for the average person your age...and your gender?

It is not like you haven't experienced such...you just...never thought of expressing it like so. You speak to yourself, to your mind, wondering, imagining, thinking, dreaming...you don't crumble...you just stay static. You cling onto the walls, onto the high cliffs where the peak is your goal. Others are falling deeper and deeper into the valley, as rocks follow, tumbling down to add insult to injury. You have seen yourself like that before, but you do not remember exactly...or why, or even how that had become yourself. You climb ever so slowly to the top, to see the skies filled with clouds and the brightness of the sun illuminating every piece of land.

Difficulty is there to stop you. You cannot help the others, rarely is a hand connected to another, rarely is there helping and the scene looks grim. You gulp and fend for yourself, searching higher to see what matters, what is the point. What is actually there at the peak.

You look up once again to dream...you look down once again at the falling unfortunates...and you look at yourself. There is no scar of the past, there is nothing, maybe a few scrapes...no rocks have actually hit you hard as you climb...but you know that someday one will...when that will happen you would never know until it came. Until you too are thrown off the cliff down back to the darkness that you once were before you opened your eyes to the world.

So you dream...

You wonder...

You grip tighter as you launch yourself higher, determined, reeling in the gravity that supresses you downwards, and you growl. You have not been hit...have you? The chances of being hit are the same for every person climbing this particular cliff...
Perhaps you just think ahead...maybe you just continue on...you do not think of that. You don't think about falling, just continuing upwards...you never do, even as you are falling. Maybe that's why you lack scars...maybe that's why you're still climbing on the cliff.

There are no ropes to guide you, no hands to pull you up as you may expect...but at least you head up further because whatever it is that is on the peak...it just seems worth it.

Okay OAD, I like you.
Sometimes.

You make everybody look awesome. The scenes are all epic, and the colourings are mostly faithful.

BUT WHY THE HELL IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO GET KAZUMI RIGHT!? OF ALL PEOPLE SHE LOOKS WEIRD OR SCREWED UP AT TIMES.
NOT ONLY THAT BUT SHE DOES NOT HAVE FAITHFUL COLOURINGS! WHY IS THAT. DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST HER!? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU. SERIOUSLY. IT'S LIKE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO CAN DRAW HER IS THE KEN HIMSELF AND RARELY THE ANIMES.
I MEAN WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT HER. YOU DON'T EVEN GET HER PROPORTIONS RIGHT. YOU TURN HER HAIR INTO A PALM TREE AND BASICALLY MAKE HER FAIL.
GOD.

She looks fat...her hair is like...blargh. I hope this is some bad quality frame and she looks better in the actual OAD but honestly my expectations are very low. You know I wanted to make a wallpaper out of OAD screenshots of her but I still have my summer one because she looks so terrible in it....

And that is a rant. Here's what happened today...

It was raining and I was waiting for the bus for college. The bus arrives about five minutes late, and off I go, soaked already. I reached the skytrain station and quickly jump into the train and then get off at the next station. I headed down to the bus where a few other people were already waiting in the cold rain. The bus that we get on usually is "Not in Service" until the time is up to go, so it just sits there with the bus driver sitting inside all warm and cuddly reading the newspaper that the conservatives have won the minority and have many more seats and thus this nation is failing more. Finally, he lets us in and I quickly take my favourite corner seat. Snatching out my mp3 player, I listen to my music for an hour until we get to a bus loop in North Vancouver. There I get off and head to the bus stop that takes us to the college, and stand in the rain for another ten minutes until the bus comes. Finally we reach the college and I spend half-an-hour at the library doing basically nothing. (I like these times actually) When time is finally up to get the class, I head to my Comparative Politics 102 class for my midterm to find out there is a sheet of paper taped to the wall that the class is cancelled. Several students are still in the class though, sticking around until class is supposed to start to make sure the paper is legitimate, but others have already left. I finally get fed up and decide to leave when the professor suddenly walks by me and asks where I'm going. Apparently the sheet was a prank. So only 60% of the students were present to do the midterm. Surprisingly the midterm was kind of easy, and this is the best midterm I've done so far of all my four classes. This is odd since I like the other classes better (besides History...I hate that class now because it's in the morning and the people in there I don't know much). This is contary to psychology which is hilarious, and sociology where I can actually be SOCIAL OMFG. In politics it's just boring, yet I think I did pretty well on the midterm. Afterwards I bought a chocolate bar (KitKat chunky) and left for the bus. The bus is very moody here. Although the times on the bus stop pole says it comes at 2:35 (the first bus, only comes at rush hour) there have been times when it left the stop at 2:20, where I missed it barely because class ended at 2:20. Today the bus wasn't like that, but I didn't know if it would be or not. Finally I got on the bus and there was some disgusting gum stuck on the side near my favourite corner seat, so I attempted to not stare at it while listening to my music yet again for another hour. As I get off the bus to the skytrain station I pray that those stupid transit officers are there to check my bus pass because I had to reach the bus at the other skytrain station and if they were there I'd be stalled and thus miss it. Thankfully they were not there and I got on the train, and reached the other station. Unfortunately as I climbed up the stairs the bus was just starting to leave, it had drove off from the stop about three or four feet, so I just BARELY missed the bus. I grumbled as I stood in the cold rain again for another fifteen minutes until the next bus came, which was oddly enough a bus that was "Not in Service" and just waited by the curb until the time, leaving us in the cold for no reason really. I finally got on the bus and reached my house after eagerly wanting to listen to Happy Material because that song is happy. As I got home it was around four and the hockey game would be on soon. I got on my laptop to stare around or something, and didn't really do too much on it besides edit the clanwar ladder I'm organizing on my game community. I finally got off and went to the TV in the living room to watch the Canucks vs. Red Wings while eating cold yogurt on this cold day. The inside of the house was cold too oddly enough. The game started and the Canucks looked to be starting out well, so much so that they got the first goal, which of course me and my dad cheered upon. It was Yannik Hansen's first goal of an NHL game, so good for him. Then on the penalty kill, the Red Wings looked deadly and they scored but nobody knew until one of their players pointed it out, so they reviewed it and it was a goal. So now it was 1-1. I was sad and kind of worried that Luongo was not playing so well lately and maybe not today. The game continued with a few more goals both sides, and our third line was really working them up because not only did Hansen score, but so did Kesler and Burrows. In the third period we were down 3-2, but Raymond evened up the score for his first of the season. Nothing much happened until overtime where Burrows, only twenty-seven seconds in, scored the game winner off his own rebound. It was a very satisfying game although the first line was kept off the scoreboard and Luongo was only decent, but a wins a win. During the intermission and partly the second and third period, I started to draw. I drew many doodles but only two drawings stood out that I may scan. After the game I returned the computer and said hi to people of the game and said hi to Akira, though I didn't talk much to her for I got a little upset when she talked to me yesterday. Afterwards I tried to play some of the game/edit the clanwar ladder/discuss the site with Puddlejumper, and it was mostly a boring day. I ate dinner during the third period by the way. The chicken came from IGA and tasted like crap and the only other food besides rice was vegetables, oh well. On the computer I played the new version of LF2 which is pretty epic and then went back to Soldat some more to play with the MLP guys. (They're pretty fun, kind of reminded me of the old AW days...) And after I finished with that I found out the second OAD's screenshots were in and when I saw Kazumi I got really upset/annoyed at how she looked. So I headed to my LJ which I hadn't ranted on so much lately and ranted upon it. Afterwards I started typing up what I did today on the LJ which consisted of me going to college and getting annoyed at the postpone midterm prank, annoyed at bus drivers, annoyed at my timing, annoyed at the rain, annoyed at my hunger, happy at the hockey game, annoyed at my dinner, annoyed at the first part of playing Soldat, and annoyed at the OAD's failure at portrayined the great Kazumi. I am now hungry and am waiting for the water to boil to make some ramen, good day.

Current Mood: hungry

So I just got home from the most horrible day of the week! Tuesday! Why?

I oh so stupidly sqooshed three classes into just this one day, while every other day just has one class with the exception of Friday...which has nothing. So yeah...Spotto is dumb. Bop her on her head. She must wake up at around 6am and she will get home at 10:30pm. I also hate Sociology. Everybody's too social there (oh lol...) AND they're all older than me. It's like...I'm 17...I can't even vote yet, and this 29 year old girl next to me is just taking this one class and has a full time job and drove here and everything....@_@. It makes me feel incompetent and dumb. Oh yeah, and the actual stuff we have to do is rather difficult personally. That teacher has waaaay too high expectations. I mean compared to my other classes which I think are FINE AND DANDY this one is ridiculously retarded! This is a bloody first year class damnit! I feel like I'm in Sociology 404 or something. >>;

My favourite class at the moment is definitely psychology though. That class is fun. I also don't mind History nor Politics, they're kind of cool. Next semester if I manage to obtain decent marks from these courses I'm hoping for Criminology (DUH), English (Double DUH), Psychology 101 (thinking of continuing this yosh) and perhaps another English course, such as creative writing, or a Law course. Otherwise college sucks because everybody is older and more developed and I am in the minority when it comes to race, size, and favourite colour. (My backpack is orange. My shoes are orange. My phone is orange. My earphones are orange...) Oh wait, all the girls have oversized purses of some sort. It's the trend nowadays. Wtf, those things are fugly. Finding friends will be a difficult task it seems...

IN GOOD COLLEGE NEWS, there's a wicked huge spider there and I WILL TAKE MY CAMERA TOMORROW AND TAKE A PICTURE OF IT IF IT'S STILL THERE AND SHOW YOU ALL!! HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway...
I watched an old Negima concert. It was epic. It had a THREE PERSON HAPPY MATERIAL (the entire song and just them, no one else) that consisted of SAYO'S SEIYUU (Yuri Shiratori), YUUNA'S SEIYUU (Madoka Kimura) and KAZUMI'S SEIYUU (Jellophish!). Omfg that song was like...everybody I loved (unfortunately the midget (Yumi Shimura/Chisame's seiyuu) did not attend, nor did Kotomi Yamakawa (Ako's seiyuu). Ku Fei's seiyuu (Hazuki) sang other things.) But damn, did you know what happened during that song?

Jellophish overpowered everybody else's singing with her mediocre singing! It was awesome to hear Kazumi's voice echo throughout the stage louder than Sayo's and ESPECIALLY Yuuna's voice! (I could barely hear Madoka besides her solos ;__;) I hoped I could hear Yuri though because arguably she had the best singing in this concert among the three (ironic in the sense that she sucked in Dai Mahorasai...huh) Not that Jellophish was THAT bad (her horrific performance was also, ironically, at the Dai Mahorasai) so yeah the song was awesome.

Jellophish is <3. She was extremely hyperactive in the concert, just like EVERY concert. Jellophish is win. She slightly wins over Big Boob Girl (Mai Nishida) in my all time favourite nonfictional pseudocelebrity ever. Now may she continue making money in maid cafes.

I also must obtain a copy of volume 19, even if the actual chapters within volume 19 do not appeal me. Apparently it has stickers and the character plans/origins/designs of YUUNA! (and Chizuru but screw Chizuru) Me wants NAO. I must get some monehs!
Now I must continue writing my story with some newly gained information from watching TV and reading books in the library. GOOD DAY.

Stupid LJ. ><

Anyway, I was supposed to upload THIS yesterday but LJ was being a bitch...SO HERE IT IS NAO!

( Dwahdwahdwah! )

Anyway, some catching up:
1) I have beautiful new printer.
2) I also have a webcam. AKIRA! GET ONLINE! O:
3) I have been extremely clumsy lately. Bashed my shoulder, thigh at the same area TWICE, my knee, stubbed my toe...;__;
4) Mah watch be fixed.

Here's my room now, what with me having a new printer and so I print like crazy. I need to purchase some good quality paper later to make more big posters like my KazuSayo ones. So expect more pictures later!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

What's so different about this, you ask? Well...nothing...except for a 25% increase in KazuSayo! Yes, this wall has become entirely Kazumi, Sayo, and KazuSayo. Rather than the "Negima wall" it's become the "OTP" wall. ;)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

When you look up above the nonexistent TV, above my picture and some certificates, you get this. My six favourite characters lined up as if they are my trophies, LOL. Yes, there's a reason why Kazumi is situated a little higher than the others. ;)

These are my homeless figures. ):
They will yuri (Or Yaoi in Reno's case) for food...and shelter!
Ku Fei shall soon join their hoboness.

And the most changed wall, at least to me, is this! I now call it "The Negima Corner". On one side is a nice looking poster of Nodoka and Negi who I don't really care about but eh, and above and below are the fine arts of Ku Fei and Chisame. This is where Chisame relocated. I also added in Chibisame because she pwns. And on the other side of the corner is obviously my Yuuna, Ako, and Yuuko...Akuna....uh, YuunaxAko side! If you have good eyes, you will notice that every fanart of Yuuna comes from the same artist. XD

The room will be complete once I print three giant posters. Whatever they may be, you ask? You will soon see...

And that's my update. I probably wanted to put more but I obviously forgot due to LJ issues. >>;
Until next time!
This has been Spotto.

The fish.
):
I've had lots of fish in my life. They're my dad's, really, but meh. My first fish died in 24 hours. They cost like fifty cents. -_-; (I was like 9 years old)
But these fish are different. These FISH ARE FIGHTERS.
I've had goldfish, big fish, small fish, white fish, black fish, bulby fish, froggy fish, fighting fish...
But these current fish are like legendary fish. Actually, just one.
I've only had three fish that lived long. This one takes the cake.
The first one was a bulby fish. It was fat and shared the tank with seven other fish, but outlived them all!
Eventually it also died.
The second was a fighting fish, which had to be housed in solitude. It lived for a great amount of time too, but also eventually died.
Now, this latest one.
The first I had mentioned the most, out of all fish, and thus are known as my famous fish, were Piyo, Pyon, and Pimp. Three lovely goldfish caught in a festival similar to those Japanese ones where they catch goldfish with a net. Then Pyon and Pimp cannibalized Piyo. (And, since their names are based off characters...Chisame and Sayo cannibalized Kazumi. o_o)
Then Pyon outlived Pimp, and won the outliving battle. It was a mighty fish. Tragically, fate took its life as well soon after.
Lately I had two fish. Ku and Kid. It doesn't take long for you to figure out where their names came from. Sadly, Ku also lost its life, and Kid remained alone. Kid used to be a very black fish, but its colour became lighter and lighter, and is almost a silver-white fish!
Then my dad added more fish, whom I named after others. They were Ko, Kira, and Kie. (It isn't too hard to figure out where their names come from!) Sadly, a few weeks ago, Ko lost its life. It was the smallest fish, and like Piyo, lost its life first. It seems in the animal kingdom, only the strong prevail.
Now, it looks like the fish of all fish, Kid, is soon to join Ko.
This fish has lived an amazingly long life, especially compared to the many fish that died so fast, so soon, so blah.
It is the ironman of all fish. The fish of the fish. The mightiest of the mighty. The strong of the strong.
Almost as if...it misses Ko...and wishes to join it, and is now an emo and suicidal.
My most mightiest fish has become emo and suicidal! D:
Maybe it misses Ku as well!
But hold up. It does not look to want to go! Kid is fighting, with every piece of energy and food flake it can recieve! It fights the current floater disease, and wishes to live longer, and longer!
This fish is truly amazing.
The legendary fish. Kid.
Please help it fight, and donate to the SPCA today! If you do in the next thirty minutes, you shall recieve a free fish!
For the sake of Kid, and all those who have passed!
But seriously.
It looks like Kid is fading. ):
This is my favourite fish among all fish...and is soon to go.
Sadness.
Sadness around.
The fish.

There is NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD!

WHY. WHERE. WHEN. WHAT.
I don't understand it.

You ever have the feeling you see something that looks so unbelievably awesome, and yet the thing you're edging for the most disappoints you down to a new level? Yes. That is what happened. It doesn't make any sense. EVERYTHING ELSE looks awesome to a new level, but what you were searching for is horrible beyond recognition. IS THIS KARMA OR SOMETHING? Did I do something bad in my life and I am being punished specifically for it? Unfair! No! Wrong! Stupid!

And this LJ cut shall explain.

( THE HORROR! THE EXCELLENCE! )

Yeah, that's it. Something's wrong here. Something is really wrong.

Finally managed to watch the full version of Starry, live.

Let's just say I liked the ending of it...*points to DP*

Though one of them screwed up on the last "la", methinks it was ~~Kazumi's actress.~~ XP
Nup, it was Sayo's actress, lulz.

We finally got our new car. I was slightly angry in the fact that I couldn't be there when they got it, D: . But otherwise, it is beautiful.
Yet I will never get a car like that. :X

That be all from Spotto. I is hungry.

"My hamster died."

"...again!?"

"..."

Very reassuring people. This conversation happened three times. :D

So I was up until 2am watching DIgimon Frontier on Youtube and forgot to go to the Grad Breakfast. ARGH.
Oh well, I heard the food was shit anyway, and I got my letter later on. What letter, you ask? A letter we wrote in eighth grade which we would end up reading here at graduation time.

I mean like WTF man, I was an idiot at 8th grade. I wrote such boring things, and the things that weren't boring were like stupid personal things. I didn't read it properly and let the ~~most popular girl in school~~ my friend read it, >>; Yes, big big big big BIG mistake.

Anyway, due to my excessive Digimon watching, I drew this:

And the only reason I did that was because I drew this:

And I only ended up drawing that because of this:

And I came to creating that due to being bored. XP

Anyway, our car is almost dead, today we went to get a new car, except because of the colour we chose (gray), we have to wait until tomorrow, Thursday the latest, to get it. I want it now. D: It's been 14 years since we've bought a car. I remember when I was little and my dad went and bought the van...in 1994. Our usual car was bought before I was born. ._.; The dealership will take our car and only give us a hundred bucks...that's how worthless it is. XP We're getting a 2008 Honda Civic BTW. I'm like, "BUT EVERYONE HAS A HONDA CIVIC!" D: I wanted a different car, but I suppose the Civic isn't the "most affordable small car" around for nothing. XP Also, I'm not very fond of the colour. I mean...grey? Srsly? Wtf? Oh well.

When I got in those cars in the dealership, on the drivers side, I felt so...amazed? Because I've been in an old 1989 Pontiac for my entire life, so seeing all the modern things in those new cars was AMAZING. I was like, "OMFG CUP HOLDERS!!!!" and "OMFG SUN ROOFS!!!" and "OMFG CD PLAYER!!!" and "OMFG! Air conditioner!" and "OMFG!!! Mp3 JACK!" Liekomfg!!!!!

It was like my life was revolutionized. I feel the urge to get my goddamn license now!

That is what it should look like. How nice.

What I don't like is "new car smell". I hate the "new car smell". Rargh.

Current Mood: mellow

It's a Friday, everyone is cheering towards the weekend, and you have just woken up. You go to eat some breakfast, but alas, there is no milk left for your delicious cereal, which is both sweet and healthy. Yet you notice a second empty bowl and a box of cereal left open. You suddenly realize your sibling has gone to the local grocery store to grab some more milk. Hoping that your sibling comes back before you have to leave, you walk back into your room to watch two hyperactive hamsters playing with each other. After five minutes of watching the two jump around and tumble, you hear the footsteps of your brother climbing up the stairs outside on this warm morning.

You head quickly to the door, anticipating the milk, and when you slam that large and heavy wooden door open as if it was just a sheet of bubble wrap, you grab the jug of milk and rush towards your little bowl of milk, for school is near. You pour the milk into your white bowl filled with many o's until the very top. You stop pouring before your milk drowns all the cereal, and pass the white substance to your brother who had saved the day by going to buy milk this morning. After quickly eating your cereal, you realize you must rush to school soon. You go back to your room to feed your hamsters.

There you see the white, larger hamster jump around mentally begging for food, and you grab some wheat to pour onto the bowl, but then you notice there is no second hamster also jumping and begging for food, and you look around. You lift open the little blue house, but there is no hamster. You look in your makeshift cardboard box, but there is no small little hamster. Where has your little friend gone?

Then you see that your hamster was in plain sight the whole time, its brown fur blended in with the brown bedding. You never noticed him because to your horror, he was not moving.

"But he was jumping and running around five minutes ago!"

You quickly run to your brother, yelling that something was wrong with your hamster. He comes with you back to your room, and you pick the little critter up, hold on...he IS moving...a little.

By now, you were already late for school, but you didn't care at all. Your dad yells at you why you haven't left your house yet, but you ignore him to look at your little hamster just lying there. Something was very wrong.

Perhaps this next decision was a bad one, perhaps you should have done something else, but you decide to go to school and let your brother stay with the hamster. You knew you had a spare after first class, so you could run back home to check on the hamster. Certainly nothing bad would happen, after all, the same thing happened to your very first hamster, a stroke, and he was back up running around like a hamster should again.

So you head to school, your mind clearly distraught. All those test and exams and homework and everything...did not apply in your mind. You were wondering if you should have stayed home, but you knew your dad would scream at you despite the condition of some pet, if you did not head to school. You get there late, but you know your first class is researching in the library today, so you go to the library and research on Feudal Japan for a story. This was civilization class.

Your friends are laughing and having fun reading stuff and cracking jokes, yet you barely smile. They don't notice your distraught mind however, assuming people who looked dead or sad was probably tired due to the morning, but they were wrong. You continue to research, asking for terms, wondering if the Japanese of the past said the honorfic "san" and "kun". Suddenly, you decide to dedicate your story on your hamster.

But wait! What are you thinking? Your hamster isn't dead yet! It will be okay, just like your first hamster! There is no need to do any of this, why are you thinking of the worst? You would go back home after and see that your hamster is up and hyper and in a jiff! There is nothing wrong whatsoever! Yet you decide to consider it, and ask your friend who has a great love of rodents, especially hamsters, what rodent lives in Japan. Then you finally explain your problem to her, that something was wrong with your hamster. You friend assures you that it's probably nothing. The hamster would be okay.

Trying to cling onto this information, the bell rings, and you grab your bag and rush back home, dashing through streets and sidewalks and between trees and fences. You evade all the cars heading towards you towards your one destination, home. You reach the house, feeling very nervous. What if he was dead? What if everybody was wrong? What if?

You finally get to the house, your dad yelling at you why you were home because he could never understand the meaning of a spare block, and you finally get to your room. You see your hamster still lying there, and you fear the worst. You pick him up and he feels...cold. You are clearly shocked. Yet you can see his small frame still moving, still breathing, still clinging to life. Your brother was not home. Why the hell was your brother not with your hamster? It didn't matter, you had one hour to do something before next class.

Why was school so important anyway? Your next class was yearbook, in which the actual yearbook was finished, so people didn't do anything. You decide to stay with your hamster. Perhaps you should take him to the vet, but amongst all these thoughts and things, you grasp onto your beloved hamster with its eyes wide open, just staring at you...

You could not figure out what message this could mean. Was it asking you to help it? Or to do something drastic and to put it out of its misery? You knew the car had broken down, so taking it to the vet was almost impossible. You had no money for bus or anything. You knew your brother would be home soon, he would have money to perhaps take the poor little critter to the vet. You hope, and hope, and hope...

But wait, the hamster had stopped moving.

Its eyes were still wide open, still staring, but it was...not there.

It was too late.

Your hamster has died in your hands...

Its petit body did not pulse up and down with breath, you did not feel its chest heaving with a pumping heart...

You are in disbelief. He was not dead! He can't be dead! Not now! Not in my hands! Not here!

Your other hamster was running around in the bin, oblivious to what had happened.

The hamster had died watching you, asking you why didn't you help it, and you really wanted to. What could you do now? It was too late. You can't regret anything because there is no time machine to go back in time. Why? Just WHY!?

...and then you hear the footsteps of your brother, coming back home.

This was too much.

...

I didn't cry that much yesterday. I think it was because I didn't really think my hamster was actually dead. I was kind of in denial for a bit, maybe in shock, mostly because I watched him die. I knew he was alive at one moment, and then gone the next. All the other hamsters I ever had I found them dead, besides two of them. Vulcan Max was found by my brother, with his mouth gaping open and his eyes clearly open, but dead. My first hamster, Hammy, died in his sleep. I saw him sleeping in the middle of the cage, which was strange because he and every other hamster I ever had would sleep at a corner or in a box or something, and when we finally picked him up, he was dead.

But Otter's death was so heartbreaking because I watched him pass away. I didn't find him sitting still, I could've done something, but my mind was like, "Do what parents say. Go to school. Or dad will yell." I mean, I could've rushed him to the vet instead of researching about Japan, but I instead just...didn't do what I should have done. I could have stole money out of somewhere for the bus, and looked in the phone book for a vet that'd take in rodents (which there isn't many) and there was one I knew, but I had no idea how to get there, my brother would've known, I could've checked how on the internet, but it clearly didn't register in my mind then. None of it did, all that registered in my mind was fucking go to school.

I don't know how old he was...but I suppose he was about a year old, 'cause when I bought him, he was a very small hamster. He was the last dwarf hamster in that pet store ever, left over from the previous pet store it had taken over (this current one didn't sell dwarf hamsters). He was the only one left in that tank, and the tank was hidden away under a bunch of other things. When I went to buy Otter, I thought there were no more hamsters left in that place, yet the clerk told me there was one little one left.

The clerk let me hold him. He was quite shy, and something looked wet near his eyes. I read off the internet that when choosing hamsters you should not get ones that looked out-of-the-ordinary, since that meant he must be sick or some sort, but the clerk said the wetness came from the water bottle, and besides, he was the last one left. I had gotten Asako from a different pet store, where he was the last male left.

Otter never bit me in his entire life. Even Hobo bit me once in his lifetime (granted, I accidentally put something heavy on his paw, ouch, ><). He was a different hamster. He was the first hamster I had without red eyes. Whenever friends came over, they would always say, "Your hamsters are evil, they have red eyes". But finally they couldn't say that about a hamster of mine (But Asako has red eyes, XP) He was smaller than Asako, but was strangely dominant. I had to admit when I first got him I was unsure of him because he kept chasing and scaring Asako onto his back, hearing lots of squeaks, but after deciding not to separate them (since they were probably just trying to gain dominance of the bin), they finally settled down.

Whenever I looked into the bin, Asako would be dead asleep, but Otter would always notice me no matter what, and poke his head out. He always poked his head out first. He seemed like the more curious of the two, or the one that had better ears, who knows.

He was also the fastest of all my hamsters. I swear I could put him in a hamster race, and he would win, hands down. He even escaped my little hands once and ran under the couch, it took quite a while to find him. No hamster of mine has escaped since Hammy and Hobo, and that was because they were in different containers with crappy plastic (they chewed their way out). Also, Hobo was quite the escape artist, Hammy would only follow, since we always found Hammy first. If Otter is the fastest, Hobo is clearly the ninja.

Even though Otter had the normal wild fur of dwarf hamsters, and thus probably looked like the most common dwarf hamster out there, he was clearly the most unique of all my hamsters. Small and dominant, yet never biting, with black eyes. Asako may look unique looks-wise, but Otter clearly has him beat. I was able to pick him up with one hand, not having to chase all the other hamsters of mine with a tube or something. Otter was also, oddly enough, the only hamster of mine that did not know how to open a sunflower seed. He could chew and use his teeth, yet he always threw away the sunflower seeds, or attempt to open them and fail. I would then open them myself, and he would eat them. Strange.

Otter did not live out his entire lifespan, but he did live a good life. He can brag to my other hamsters up on rainbow bridge that he slept on the most comfortable bed out there for a hamster, Asako:

What a smart hamster. ;__;

I remember once Asako slept on Otter. I wish I took a picture of that. I ran to my brother's room to tell him to come see and "be very quiet" but when we came back they both woke up. XD

---

Other hamster stuff you can see:

Lol, Otter is all: "ATTACK THE CAMERA!" and when Asako wakes up, he's like, "Huh? Whut? Whut the hell is goin' on!?" XDDD

*salutes* May you rest in peace, King Otter. You will definitely overthrow the top hamster on rainbow bridge, and rule all the hamsters and other pets! >D

Current Mood: depressed

You know it's kind of funny.

People out there of the same age as me...they're having problems, being emo, jumping around screaming, "WHY ME!?" mentally while bawling their eyes out, and I really don't know why.

Here I am sitting on the bed just after midnight with an empty bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios on this warm morning. My Squash racquet and empty Yoga journal sit atop the mattress, while the ground is clean and shaven by the washers who were here earlier. All these people around me, either living about three blocks away or somewhere sitting in Australia are having messed up problems but at least they're going out and having fun.

Not that I'm not having fun. I watched Narnia yesterday, and Ironman a few days ago. They were both good, but I thought IronMan was slightly more awesome. Also went out to eat some badass congee, yes, that's right. BADASS congee. Yeah, all you people got some wimpy burger or ate at some expensive restaurant with juicy delicious steak, but I had some BADASS CONGEE.

But it just makes me think.

I'm not really having any particular problem. Like, whenever I complain on this journal, it's either minor, and if it's not I never really bring it up ever again later. I'm wondering why. I mean, I could complain that my friend gets to go to HotPot every f'in week, have sleepovers with boys, and love every anime in existence without being regarded as a geek and instead is one of the most popular persons in the school. Yes, I COULD.

I could complain that her dad has a good job and she lives in a very big house, and that she has a lot of computers and lots of money to buy things and can get a job easily at her mom's company. I COULD.

I could complain that her best friend skips school constantly and apparently has mental breakdowns and I'm like, "WHY?" as if she lives a second life filled with angst and stress. It feels like I do not know this person.

I COULD complain that MY best friend never seems to want to do anything because well, I don't know, she just doesn't. We could, but we don't have money. We're poor. Our car is almost dead. We can't afford insurance, and don't get STARTED on the fucking gas.

Oh yes, I COULD COMPLAIN that my hamsters are noisy as fuck in my room with their stupid wheel, that my laptop is going to overheat and I'm going to lose this entry any second, that my mattress STILL has not been changed with my REAL mattress, that I got accepted to the college of my choice and I'm not really caring, that I'm drifting away from several of my friends INCLUDING some of those who I used to talk to a lot over the internet, that I never got a chance to go to that dance show because I wanted to be with my ~~first crush~~ poor lonely and sad and homework-filled friend, that my neighbours are fucking noisy, that my parents' friends are retards, that my parents like to reveal every single embarrassing trait of my life and then exaggerate it to friends so they have an interesting story to tell, that my parents are saying, "Are you GAY!?" to my brother because of his questionable shirt, when they KNOW he is gay, and when his shirt doesn't really look feminine at all. That my brother has friends that plays basketball with him and I don't have any friends that want to do ANYTHING. That I can't spend any money because I'm saving up money to buy a birthday present, that PROM is coming up and I'm like, WHY THE FUCK DID I JUST WASTE NINETY-FIVE DOLLARS ON FUCKING PROM TICKETS!? That I'm sad that no one is inviting me to go in a limo to go there with friends, and I'd probably end up taking a fucking bus there. That...

Yes, I COULD.

But guess what? I'm not.

Nope. Instead, I'm going to complain about Negima.

And people are like, "Oh my fucking god Spot, you are such a geek."

And you know what? Someone actually said that, and I was like, "Thank you." And then I continued my merry way.

That was me viciously typing on ALL THE RIGHT TYPE, challenging my other geek friends ~~and one is the most popular girl in the entire school~~, to an awesome typing speed competition while watching IIHF hockey full screen on a monitor in Yearbook class where there is NOTHING TO DO. And guess what? CANADA LOST TO RUSSIA!! GAH!

So here I am on my bed, daydreaming, and the first thing I'm thinking about after daydreaming is, "You know, I REALLY need to find something else other than my really annoying fandom to talk about to my friends on the internet, but there is NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT!!! OMFG!"

Yeah. So.

I actually have nothing to talk about Negima. The newest chapter is not out yet and even if it is it looks boring.

So there you go.
I'm going to daydream now.

Current Mood: mellow

Yay! My brother is taking me to Ironman tomorrow! Okay, to a cheap theatre, 'cause I got to save money for my present for my best friend, and WHY THE HELL IS MOTHER'S DAY COMING UP!!?!? I can't afford another present! Just got to come up with something makeshift and cheap. Oh how shoddy. ):

Maybe clean my room. XD (Maybegetajob...>>;)

I lost the most important page to that Dogger comic I did a long time ago...I know it's on the internet, but the paper...I LOST IT!!! T___T Oh woe is me...

So today's entry besides announcing my happiness and sadness of life, is episode 22 of Negima!? Yes, it's over, I know. It's been over since March 2007....but Mahora finally subbed episode 22! (Extremely late, yes, but at least it's here...)

And as the days go by I increasingly dislike the SHAFT anime even more...I mean yeah, it's animation is fine, but c'mon...

I can understand those complaints of the treatment of Makie. I mean seriously, "Waaah! Even the rat says I'm no good!". In the manga, Negi would be like what a teacher SHOULD be and he would approach Makie and help her. Or, you know, if Makie actually had FRIENDS like in the manga with the Sports Girls, THEY could support her and help her out, but NOBODY DOES. I mean, not only is that OOC and terribly MEAN, Makie is like that potential teenager who would kill herself! Wtf, people! I know it's for humour, but they're overdoing just a little too much...and even I'm getting tired of it. Although they did have a very nice scene for Makie in the last episode, where they showed chibi-Makie and her NOT being picked on. I guess they were trying to redeem Makie, and I really liked that scene, but still it is annoying.

Makie: Omfg I fail, like always. D: ): D: ): D: ):
>>;

What was better is in chapter 212 of the manga, there was Yuuna's hilarious dream where Makie had a big bust and she took away Yuuna's source of pride and shrunk her package. That was so amusing, someone even drew that, and then drew a tiny little "disgrace and great despair!" of Yuuna. And usually it would be Makie who would be in disgrace and great despair in Negima!? so the change was ever so hilarious. It didn't even make me tick that there wasn't any Ako there. :X

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The far more superior version of Makie. XD

Secondly...Motsu...Black Rose Baron, wtf.
I'm fine with Shichimi, she's pretty funny. "I have an urge to kill you" and threatening Motsu with claws was amusing! But damn, these three took up like FIVE minutes of the episode and achieved NOTHING, not even humour to make me laugh! And guess where Kazumi and Sayo was this episode?

THEY WERE LIKE DUMB NPCs TELLING YOU WHERE TO GO IN A MMORPG WITH NO BRAINS!
"Omfg Nekane went that way lolololol! Omfg they went that way!" They just stood there in the same place for two scenes and people were asking them where people went, I mean wtf, it's like they have no role. God. And in the next episode they get turned into stone first, how fun. Good lord. And just two seconds of footage too...stupid. Then the filler happy stupid anime-only characters get five minutes...WHY?

Kazumi: Hurrhurrhurr, hey Sayo-chan, let's just stand here to see who walks by so we can tell people where they're going if they ask!
Sayo: Yay! That's fun! Sure!

As for a stupid excerpt, I had dirty thoughts when Yuuna and Ako were grunting to pull out the mutant vegetables out of the ground (don't ask) in the beginning. XP

And those are just some butchered characters. Evangeline was butchered, for example. A shinso vampire cannot get "possessed" by some random kid's emo needs to be competitive with some crystal of doom. D< Hell, as much as I hate Anya, even she isn't that stupid enough to do that. There's countless others too, like poor Natsumi, or Setsuna (she's not THAT lovesick, no matter how many Konosetsu fans like it, her actual character is severed!) , or Chisame, or...anybody!!!! D<

Nothing makes sense anymore. It's not really in-character either...

But, like anything, there's always the good things.

Negima!? is still funny, at times. Also, Chao was awesome when her pactio was activated. AND STOP CALLING HER LINGSHEN! You call her CHAO! And don't call Kazumi, Kazumi unless you're Sakurako or Ayaka! It's very rude and DOES NOT FIT their character. Call her Asakura. It will then NOT be OOC...I can't stress that enough. It's like a symbol status in Japan. Kazumi call's a lot of people with "-chan" as a suffix because that's how she is. Sayo always calls her "Asakura-san" because she is a very polite girl, and it says something about her character. Do people call a teacher by their first name? Do people call their dad's by their first name? No. I mean I can forgive the dubbers because they are trying to americanize everything (which is slightly annoying) but this is the anime in its raw Japanese version!

Oh right, the GOOD part. Well, the part where Yuuna and Ako were there at the end in the sorta-omake was funny. That's about it.

Ako will eat you.

I also object the recolours. Ako with gray hair and yellow eyes...that's INSANE. And please keep Yuuna's hair black with a brown tint, not that crap brown. (But at least it isn't its weird sandy colour from the first anime...that one looks retarded.) Kazumi's eyes are NOT light blue, they are purplish blue or sapphire blue or whatever that colour is called. And WHY does the light keep making Sayo's eyes look orange!? Is there like a sunset/sunrise every hour of the day!? >>; Same with Kazumi's eyes turning green...gwah. I think they gave Kazumi's eye colour to Yuuna. O_o

The rage in which has a force of a thousand evil hungry Akos.

*shakes fist* RAGE.

Also...the Sports Girls sound retarded singing 1000% Sparking...'cause Ako's voice is fake so the person who is singing high-ish is Ako but it doesn't SOUND like Ako, and then Misora and Yuuna sound too similar, and I dunno where the heck Akira is even singing....that's why Makie is needed. Her nice voice balances out the Sports Girls, Misora makes it so bloody confusing. It doesn't sound that great. The same with the MISC. girls (Mana, Chisame, Zazie, Natsumi, and Chizuru) singing A-ly-ya! Mana and Zazie's voice does not fit such a preppy song, I can't tell where Chisame is singing (and her Chiu voice WOULD fit, but CHIU is not Chisame, CHISAME is, thus she also doesn't fit) and I can't tell the difference between Natsumi and Chizuru. :\

Oh god, Jellophish's voice sounds hilarious/cute when she makes the fake laugh in the omake. XD

Kazumi: Right...

Anyway, that's my rant. XP
YAY IRONMAN!!!
Also, next post I shall upload my newest drawing of Dogger. The downstairs doode who left his comics to me make me draw a lot of it again. XD

As an aside, THESE STUPID RASHES ARE ITCHY, PAINFUL AND ANNOYING RAGH. D

Current Mood: is not amused

So like, the doorbell rang, and this Japanese girl was there. My dad told me to go open the door because he thought she was one of my friends (looked short and young) so I opened the door to her saying "HI" about five times (I thought maybe she had ADD or something for a second) and then she explained what she was doing and even bowed at me. So it was some sort of fundraiser to keep families together regardless of the colour of skin...or something.

Anyway, I had no money on me, and ran up to ask my parents. She was extremely polite and innocent-like, so I felt, "I can't say NO! to this girl!" I asked my dad and he was like, "We have no money, let her go," and since I just CAN'T say no to someone like that, I tried to make my dad go and decline the donation. And he wouldn't do it for some reason, and we started yelling at each other. My mom was in the shower, so we knocked on her door and she was screaming at us:

"IT'S JUST A STUPID PERSON WANTING A DONATION! JUST DECLINE AND CLOSE THE DOOR!!!!"

We continued to push each other. Finally, after a while, I just went into my room in a fit of stubborn annoyance, except I realized she was STILL AT THE DOOR AND PROBABLY HEARD US YELLING, AND WAS ASKING FOR A DONATION ABOUT FAMILIES. So I grabbed any money I had, which was about two bucks and gave it to my dad and he reluctantly went to the door. I heard him saying, "Sorry this is so cheap" and she continued to explain what the fundraiser was for (pretty much stalling my dad for a long while.) He was rescued by the guy downstairs who came up to tell us he was moving out soon, and he donated 10 bucks.

Okay, if Japanese people are that polite, then I don't know how to act around them. I mean I know a Japanese guy at school, and he has cushioned himself into the Western tradition so he isn't bowing every time we say hi to each other and stuff, but gee. She had like this accent and sounded cute and stuff. How do you say no to people like that? It's like some evil genius ploy done by the people doing the fundraiser.

Yeah.

In other news, I have ENDLESS SKY. The song by Sara Wakatsuki and Miho Aihara (or Mihoko Kondo...she changed her name mysteriously...>>;) It took quite a while to obtain it. Also the other reason that I tried so hard in getting it was because Aoi-dono also wanted it. It is quite a nice sounding song. I managed to figure out who was singing where, and Miho sang better than Sara. Yes. That is not me being biased because I'm a huge Kazumi fan...If you watch the Live Action concert on Youtube, clearly Sara isn't the greatest singer there. She isn't bad either, but she isn't like, mindblowing. The song she sings with Hiroko (Konoka) was a good song, but you could tell that Hiroko sang MUCH better than Sara.
And in Starry, Miho sang awesome, and better than Mai (slightly, >>;)

...but Mai is obviously cuter and hotter and has a better voice (besides the singing) and it's not like she can't sing, Miho just sings better. >>;

But you all know she's cute! MAI NISHIDA IS VERY CUTE:

LOOK! CUTE! ADORABLE! PERFECT AS SAYO!

Yeap.

Current Mood: peaceful

( LA, figure, life, moar )

ALRIGHT, LET'S GET TO SOME SERIOUS STUFF.

The ONE HUNDRED AND ONE REASONS WHY KAZUMI IS AWESOME-R THAN YOU:
1) She's fictional. Fictional people are usually cooler than real people.
2) Kazumi's badassness is concealed and unnoticable. That is true awesomeness.
3) The anime, OVAs, and LA could not portray Kazumi's character. It was too much for them. That is how badass she is.
4) Kazumi mocks pedos. (I UNZIP MY PANTS! CHECK OUT MY LOLI PANTIES! HAHAHAHA)
5) She takes the "bikini top and hot pants" outfit to a NEW LEVEL.
6) She can betray people, and no one gets mad at her. (At the very least they end up not caring in the end anyway, xD.)
7) She has no survival training, yet can always survive, with no problems whatsoever.
8) She is a slave for truth. She's not on YOUR side.
9) She knows everything.
10) She sees everything.
11) She even sees unnoticable ghosts.
12) Her patience is unreal. Only very few can wait fifteen volumes for a pactio.
13) Her clothes. They change size with her.
14) Her breasts are 88cm.
15) She's 5'6 (167cm), taller than a lot of asians.
16) RED HAIR BABY.
17) I don't like purple, but someone who can make purple eyes look HOT is awesome to me.
18) She can wear glasses, and then she doesn't have to. Sweet.
19) You know how cool badass people are softies for animals and shit? Kazumi's a softie for SAYO, who is the epitome of innocence.
20) She's behind you, taking pictures of you naked in the shower. Yep.
21) Her hairstyle. It pwns.
22) Her hair is also spikish. Also pwns.
23) Potential Super Saiyan.
24) She would make an EXCELLENT spy with Sayo.
25) Is virtually invincible with her pactio nao. =D
26) Kazumi ALWAYS WINS. No exceptions.
27) Kazumi said "righto!" once. Kirami speak = pwn. Therefore, Kazumi = pwn.
28) Anybody who annoys Chisame = win in my book.
29) She was in the MEN IN BLACK DVD cover of Negima!? And it was awesome.
30) She's a canary as a suka. And as we learn from Looney Tunes, canaries always win.
31) Sly sexy fox.
32) Only a true badass person can avoid being the stereotypical emo/white haired-pretty boy, and can provide humour, entertainment, seriousness, relationships, etc. all in one lovely package.
33) Doesn't need a big fucking sword or fighting ability to be cool. That is true talent.
34) Strong mentality.
35) She'd be an awesome role-model you know, besides the taking pictures of girls in hot springs, but nobody said that was bad. XD
36) She is not obvious.
37) Her seiyuu is pwn.
38) Her seiyuu loves jellophish.
39) Her seiyuu is seriously optimistic.
40) Kazumi's voice is unique.
41) So is Kazumi's hairstyle.
42) And her personality.
43) Not so much her name, but it rocks anyway.
44) Symbolism. The fact that her hairband is never shown in the manga is symbolic that she doesn't really need anything to support herself. Of course, Negima!? makes the stupid mistake of making it appear fifty billion times.
45) SHE'S HOT.
46) People admire her. Srsly. Just look at page 5 of chapter 147.
47) She looks good in EVERYTHING.
48) Friend of Chamo. Plotting with Chamo.
49) She's smart. Like in the top 50 of the entire school. =D
50) Egao no Hana = TEH AWESOMENESS
51) Other Kazumi pairings are awesome and badass as well. Even the ones where she totally loses against Chisame.
52) She's not the main character, but she isn't a background character as well.
53) Perfect balance.
54) Manages to go by with just acquaintances. After all, how many badass people do you know with mushy friends? XD
55) Sayo does not count. She is a ghost/lover/s'woot.
56) She's nice. At times.
57) She doesn't love Negi, like...everybody else.
58) Yet she won Negi in the kissing department. Pwned. Srsly.
59) The master of info-gathering
60) Hair clips. WOO!
61) She wears a tie. The badass people in Negima wear the tie. Not the ribbon or bow, they wear the tie.
62) Cosplayed as a samurai. A SAMURAI.
63) Cameras.
64) She wore a towel with her hair down in the manga once. It was beautiful.
65) It's a scoop! She has a dream and actively pursues it.
66) The OT3: ChisameKazumiSayo
67) Always smiling.
68) Rarely mad. =D
69) Since this is #69, she is in a number of very interesting doujins. XD
70) Reminds one of Shaman King...
71) Smoking is bad. But she looks cool doing it. In fanart of course.
72) She may have acquaintances, but she is very nice to those who REALLY deserve that.
73) She is PERFECT, but she has FLAWS.
74) Which include: Nosiness
75) Untrustworthy, lol
76) She isn't very loyal, that's for sure
77) But she's still awesome, reminds me of Rei, in a way.
78) The pairing, also reminds me of a pairing in the past...
79) And she spawned the FIRST threesome of my life, I never really liked threesomes in the past.
80) Figures, zomgkgnfjgagkfg.
81) A reason to collect! ^
82) Not the most popular, but not the least. =D
83) A capricorn. Aren't they cool?
84) She's not the oldest, nor the youngest. So it isn't the "wise" thing. That's for sure.
85) Anyone who can master a sitar (10-string guitar thing) seriously is awesome.
86) Ingenious fashion sense.
87) Her LA actress can act... (but that episode was creepy, and not badass, >>; The day Kazumi learns a lesson and gets sappy over it from Negi is when hell freezes over)
88) She sticks her tongue out sometimes. :P
89) She reads books.
90) Mature. Mostly.
91) Moar awesome dialogue: "...for the world to SEE!" The wording is hilarious and fits.
92) She must get money from somewhere. She has lots of cameras, even a camcorder, and a laptop.
93) Doesn't take many things seriously, but she knows where to draw teh line. XP
94) Potential Super Saiyan TWO.
95) She is not a vegetarian. Remember kids, save a plant, eat a vegetarian.
96) Blackmail. Why didn't I mention that earlier? XD
97) She's pretty good at tracking people, and stalking them, but stalking is not the word to use for stalking is not cool nor badass.
98) Everybody calls her Asakura except like two people. THAT'S RESPECT.
99) Nicknames she calls other people: Sayocchi, Chiu-chan, etc.
100) She has status. "Mahora's Paparazzi."
101) KAZUMIxSAYO!!!!!!!!!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!

And that is one hundred and ONE reasons why KAZUMI IS BADASS.

That be all.

Current Mood: blank

Well, to some people, relatives coming over is a pain. They hate their annoying cousins or naggy aunt, but some people adore their relatives. Others just don't give a damn.

My uncle from Hong Kong became my favourite relative when he kept coming to visit. You see, of the three groups of people that visit, only he has come like five times in the span of four years. Others? Twice in six years....once in ten years...

My other relatives, who live close by, well, I think I see them too often. Plus, we seem to be drifting apart. One example is my wonderful cousin, who although introduced me to both LF2 and Negima, has been too busy doing his own things. We don't seem to have much in common anymore.

There's also my cousin who works for Nintendo (don't know if he still does) who gave me a Gameboy Color as well as Super Mario Deluxe when I lost my own, this was like seven years ago. The thing is, I haven't SEEN him for a long time, and we DO live close by.

Plus, for some reason I didn't come off like a spoiled brat to them, and I usually do (unintentionally...>>;) So yeah. Great, right?

Okay, now many relatives are known for giving money. My aunt who rarely gives me money, does on occasion, and it's usually a lot. Fifty dollars actually. I'm not sure why she gives so much. On the other hand, my other aunt who tends to give me money often either gives me spare change, or twenty bucks of it's something special.

And to add in a rant, my friend's dad leaves change on the counter ALL THE TIME, and she's NEVER broke in that sense. She always has at least thirty bucks with her...o_O

But anyway, yeah...so my relatives came over today.

...and surprisingly, they gave me and my brother something. They never gave anything to us, ever...perhaps a keychain of some sort, and maybe some other things, but NOTHING of this calibre. NO one has gotten my something of THIS calibre.

That's right, TWO cameras...digital cameras...that I unexpectedly (and my brother, lol) recieved.

I was just busy playing a rare 20 minute-a-period hockey game (usually I play five minute periods) and I get interrupted (and I was a little peeved here, because it was a rare 20-minute-a-period game, against the top-rated team in the game, so I didn't want to stop until I finished)....and suddenly...CAMERAS IN BOXES ON THE TABLE FOR ME AND MY BROTHER. And I'm like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?" Did I expect this? CERTAINLY not...it was very surprising...

Of course all the manuals are in Chinese because they bought in Hong Kong, but it doesn't matter...

I mean...wow? O:

Relatives don't do this much...should I be flattered? It's really expensive too...and one is those black cameras you see paparazzi with all the time. (I put the flash on and took a picture of myself with the camera like five centimetres from my face...yes, that hurt my eyes, XD), the other is really really nice. I was basically AMAZED.

Surprised, amazed, flattered...wow.

Why are they so nice? O:

I often look very sloppy when I eat crab (which I did today). You wouldn't want to give a shiny camera to someone with crab all over their mouths, but geez. I mean, "thank you" just isn't enough since it was so unexpected. There wasn't even a special occasion! Well, okay, today is Saint Patrick's Day, but people don't get presents on this holiday, they drink and party. >>;

And now Spotto shall show you the POWERS OF THESE TWO CAMERAS. (The videos were by the big black powerful one, and a few of the pictures, while the others were by the shiny camera)

^
HAMSTERS! SOUND! BETTER QUALITY ZOMG. Also, the video was taken by the big black powerful camera.

And some pictures from BETTER CAMERAS O< :

Rawr, the hamster pictures were taken using teh shiny camera.

And the rest here are by the big black camera. I love the 12x zoom, =D

Zomg, high quality picture of Kazumi and Sayo again...xDDD

This was fun...

Current Mood: EHHH!?

I'd like to report that at least for the moment, the email was a complete success. I have spoken to Kirami, Drix, and Lefty in less than 24 hours after said email.

Current Mood: bipolar

Dahdahdahdaaaaah!

Yes, I have pictures. Yes, it was very cool. Yes my pictures suck. Yes I am not a great photographer like the photo journalist Kazumi. No I did not use a tripod. No I didn't have a tripod. Yes the camera sucked too.

( Click for shitty and blurry pictures! )

That's all from me! Until 2010 with the next eclipse on Spotto's Lunar Eclipse watch! You will now be returned to your regular program.

Hello my beautiful livejournal.

I feel very accomplished today.

I went to the kitchen, for I was hungry.

But there were no snacks, save from some crackers.

Which, by the way, I was very sick of.

So, I decided, for the first time in four years, to cook.

I started cooking simple things like eggs and fried rice when I was 12 or 13...

But then I stopped.

And today I cooked some French Toast.

And it was good.

That is why I feel accomplished,

my beautiful livejournal.
