race. and absurdity.

January. 15. 2011

[Rants by: hello?]

I know I’ve said this about a gazabajillion times, but I just hate this word. Now I’m not gonna talk about I don’t like racism….maybe in another paragraph xDD but yeah, this word just….makes me feel like diversity is a sin, like it’s disgusting. No, I think diversity and the many different countries ethnicities we have are a blessing. Diversity is beautiful, although I wouldn’t mind if we all ended up to be one “race”, either. That would just make us realize how we’re all just similar and probably came from one “race” anyways. Just going back to the way we were. BUT, if a few different ethnicities still existed then, they’d probably be looked down on….=_= ugh, humanity…..

And while I’m at it, I wanna talk about words in general. I hear a lot of people say things like “oh they’re just words, what does it matter?” and my response is fairly long and boring: “Humans created words and gave them meaning in order to communicate and express. We put patterns and rules and thus, languages were born. We created words for a reason. So to say that mere words don’t have any meaning contradicts the fact that you’ve spoken your whole life and meant any of those words.” Yeah that’s right :P

On a completely different note, I’d like to share THIS with you:

I will admit that it’s pretty and all, but let’s forget about the fact that I hate gold and diamonds since that would make this so biased. I just can’t understand how someone would be willing to pay $122k for a case when their phone was like what, $300? $400? Cases for the iPhone are expensive already as it is. The most I’d spend is $30. Not that I’d have an iPhone in the first place, but that’s kind of besides the point. I love carbon fiber like the geek I am, but I’m not paying $112k for such a thing =_= this is probably what the rich people are buying with all the money they have from not paying as much tax as we middle-to-lower class people do. That, too, is bullshit. Ahh, the things I could do with that money ….like HELP SOCIETY cause it already sucks and needs help.

Sorry for that. This is ashiiya, signing out :P

Kaiba: What’s so great about this kid?
Joseph: Well, when he grows older, he’ll be able to raise the dead and cure the sick and the lame. And walk on water.
Kaiba: Yeah, but does he have a jet in the shape of a Blue Eyes White Dragon?
Joseph: Umm….no.
Kaiba: Hah. Kaiba: 1, Jesus: NOTHING. Happy Hanukkah.

There are those people who are always frakkin cranky when they wake up. It doesn’t matter if they had a full night’s sleep, a 5min nap or a nap in class. When they wake up, they’re half dead and just mad bitchy. Doesn’t matter if you’re a guy. I’ve seen guys do this. It’s actually funny when a guy does it. When a girl gets all bitchy from waking up, it’s like BETCH SHUT UP XD

Seriously, do you hate waking up that much? Ok, it’s not even like people wake them up. This happens even when they wake up themselves. They’re still like UGGGHHHHHH stomp stomp stomp and it’s getting real EFFin annoying >_>

What, do you like sleeping that much? You wanna run away from the world that bad? Hey I have a bloody genius idea. Let’s put you to sleep permanently! That way, you’ll never have to wake up as a bitch and the rest of us can be at peace. It’s totally a win-win situation. What do you say? :D ….:D

Also, I’m dying for this and trying real hard to buy this right now:

I WANT <-- clicky-san.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ONE FOR YEARS AND NOW I FINALLY HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SO!

TRANSITION!

Ok so in other news, also tired of these kids constantly going either fml fml fml or bitchy whine whine whine. Like just SHUT UP AAHHH if your life sucks then too bad, my life sucks too and I complain, but I do it in a fun rantful way, not like “FML FML FMLLLLL SUICIDEE”. And no, don’t whine. Just stop. Stop whining about how lonely you are. Stop trying to be so obvious about how you want people to notice you. The funny thing is, the person doing this is a guy. Girls do it all the time through appearance. This kid is just like “I feel so lonely, why doesn’t anyone pay attention to me?” and yeah. Seriously. I’m serious. He’s that blunt about it. It’s like he thinks “friends” are the most important thing in the world. I know that sounds hypocritical of me, but hold that thought. I love having friends and my friends are the most important to me, but this kid is just like wanting quantity and quality. Dude, the world doesn’t work that way. The world doesn’t exist to be your friend only. The world existed before you and will exist after you die. THAT is how the world works. I don’t care about how many friends I have. I don’t care about making new friends either cause the ones I have now are of fine quality. Quality that was built through years of trials and bonding. You’re not gonna get a friendship like that from someone you knew for a week. Come on, let’s be real. Especially not with that whinyass attitude. No.

OWARI!

—————————————————————————————————————

whispering voices pass us saying “betrayal”
you don’t even see the end rushing for you
shedding the light you thought didn’t exist
wielding the claymore that you so loved, more so than me
wings are cut and crosses are burned
any lines or borders have been broken down
the fire behind will not ever rest
so long as I am here

[Paradise Lost -- lyrics of my eng parody ;P]

[Rants by: hello?]

It’s official that I’m amazing ;] puhahahaha well it doesn’t really matter to me whether people think that or not. Does it really? All I have to do is just continue doing what I have to do and being awesome. It doesn’t have to be known…..although it’d be nice XDDDD

And another thing before I start: yeah, changed the layout XDD sorry if it’s too simple for some people, but I love simplicity. In like…..everything XD clothes, food, yadda yadda. So yeah. Any more info about the layout is in the “the site” page since I update that every time I have a new layout ;]

So this will be another one of my “stream of thought” posts. Ready? GO!!

So yeah I was talking to this “other person” about presents and flowers….god knows how it got to that. But anyways, I told them about what I personally thought about giving flowers as gifts or whatever. If someone gave me flowers as a present, I’d seriously feel insulted. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers, but only when they’re actually rooted to the ground and alive. Once you wrap them up and give them to someone, by the end of the day, they’re already either starting to die or halfway there. And a decent bouquet these days is like what, $20…..so you’re basically paying $20 to get me something that’ll die. I really really don’t like seeing flowers die, it kind of makes me depressed. So yeah, I don’t like getting flowers as if they’re supposed to make me happy about how momentary they are. One thing I like doing though is taking single petals and putting them in books and never taking them out for like another 5yrs. And then laminating it. I wonder where I got that from…….well EITHER WAY XD I digress…..but yeah that person was just like “well people use flowers for giving respect for funerals, so you really shouldn’t be saying that” and I’m just like “we’re asian, we give hella better stuff to the dead than frakkin flowers like actual food and BEER….I don’t know where the hell that tradition came from, but we have it so LET’S USE IT” XDD

And that kind of (I guess?) leads into my next thought: how people think I’m some kind of radical or rebel. I don’t really consider myself as a rebel….it’s not like I’ve done anything controversial worthy of the public’s attention. Well at the same time, that’s not what one has to do to be a rebel, I guess. Still. I still don’t think I’m a rebel. It’s just that I somehow started to think about life from an early age and just kept on thinking and thinking. While most other kids were worried about cooties, I was worried about my purpose in life. I just think of a lot of things differently from a lot of people. Maybe I’m weird/eccentric but I’m not….a rebel….what? And I know I’ve kept a lot of opinions to myself until now, but….seriously? Before people used to bitch about how I never said anything and now that I do say some things, they bitch at that, too. You’re just upset cause I’m not telling you what you wanna hear. Well, too bad. You’re not gonna hear what you wanna hear and you’re not gonna be treated the way you wanna be treated. The world is a place full of twisted realities and ideas and it’s hell not fair at all. It’s being run by humans, of course it’s not fair.

And that somehow leads into the next topic: reality. Well, more like how I think truth and reality are different. I mean I guess you can use those words interchangeably in some situations, but I realized that I don’t like to do that. To me, reality is something that exists in each of our minds. Everyone has their own reality and as some of us might know, some people like to skew reality to their twisted favor. They create their own mental world and drag other people into it, making it like a mental prison for others. The truth on the other hand, to me, is the underlying layer of facts and whatever else. Many people might not really know that the “truth” is, but it’s still there and will never change. You can believe whatever you want, but that won’t change the truth. However, you can change your own reality and try to make yourself and others believe otherwise. If that even makes sense XD

Now this isn’t really that related to the previous topic, but it popped up in my head anyways so here we go. This is for all the people out there who came out of a relationship. If you feel like your ex has left some kind of gap in your mind/heart/soul/whatever, honestly, there is absolutely no need for there to be a gap. I’m not saying this cause I’m like cold or anything. It’s just that I’ve gone through the whole feeling-the-gap phase for a while without really telling anyone and then I slowly realized that there was really no reason for me to feel so empty about this person. Mainly because that person was only there for a short period in my life. Well for some people it might not be so short, but still, if that person wasn’t like there ever since you were little and it’s not like some cute story about childhood friends being together, then you don’t have to let them control you even after the breakup by feeling emptiness. You’ve lived quite a number of years before you met that person and you’ve done fine without them. You obviously weren’t that “happy” with them if you ended up separating so you can just continue on the way you were before you ever met them. I mean, in my case, I really was happy, but …eh, I’m over it XD I’ve lived all the way up till now without him, and I can sure as hell move on without him. There’s no reason to feel empty or lonely. Cause you never are ^^

Well that’s it for now ^^ and to make this not-too-boring, here’s what I’m working on as the cover of my cards binder. Yeah. I’m serious. I have a binder for all my cards. And I believe I have like…..700+ cards XDD and counting…..AND COUNTING…..but yeah. Here ya go. Have fun. Use it if you want, I really don’t mind XD

[one of my first few attempts at drawing Yami in KAGAMI style XD]

Of course it’s not done yet since I haven’t colored it, but I don’t wanna color until I get a tablet. I really think I’ll do amazing things once I get a tablet xDD better than using a mouse all the time x.x dammit I used to have epic skills in using ms paint to draw things, with a regular mouse…..where did all that goooo

Oh man I haven’t been able to post to my heart’s content cause I currenty don’t have any internet. Rather, my ethernet won’t work but my wifi mysteriously still does. So this is from my iPod. I swear, I think that lightning from last week cause that weird freaky blue electricity to appear behind my monitor and somehow screwed up the ethernet.

Anyways, I got a job at Panera Bread for those of you who know it~~ as this will my first real job, I’m so excited :D if you’ve never been to this place before, try it, it’s so awesome~ I feel so pathetic not being allowed my own bank account. I actually do need one in order to get paid for this job and I’m still being treated like a 10yr old. Hey I know I look that young but I’m really not, so….BANK ACCOUNT!!! XD

*and typing out codes with an iPod is so annoying T^T

I find it funny how I’ve been talking about nothing but anime *coughygocough* and I don’t intend on stopping~!!! But this time, it’s different and it’s not gonna be just about anime haha (alleviated, are we?)

Let’s kick this off with CCS :D this is a CLASSIC~!! You just can’t hate this anime if you’ve watched it way back when. Sure, I grew up with the dub, but they cut it off before the whole series could end…..cause apparently the second season was not appropriate enough for children due to the fact that its main focus was Sakura and Syaoran’s relationship development. Damn you. A few years after that though, I turned to the Japanese version in order to kickstart my Japanese and I fell in love with it all over again~ and now I am proud to be in the possession of the Sakura Cards:

Speaking of which, I tend to compare the Syaoran from CCS to the Syaoran from TRC. Just cause it’s fun XD I personally like the design of CCS better, just cause he looks stubborn and serious. And when guys look stubborn and serious, it’s just that much cuter when they do like someone ;D it would’ve been so awesome if the whole animation style of TRC was the same as CCS T__T the manga animation style makes him look all cool (cause CLAMP does WONDERS with that stuff) but….AAHHHH …ok this:

If they wanted to make him look more mature or something, that’s already been done, even in the old CCS style >.< goddangit why'd they have to change....

When I got to the end of TRC, I started thinking that even CCS was somehow tied into this TRC/XXX story but nah XD that's like saying even Chobits was linked to it, but of course it's not. It just seemed that way since when the clones were reborn, I thought Sakura was in her middle school uniform or something and I swear I thought I saw some of her old friends from CCS so I was like "wait are the clones the same characters from CCS" XD nah, it's not that complicated. If you have the time and you like twists, go for TRC~!!!

================================================

I just wanna throw something quick out there. I gave YGO 5Ds a chance……AND I LIKE IT. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing. But it’s definitely better than GX. I can say that each protagonist from all three series are pretty different and that’s good, but Yusei is just really awesome. But enough about Yusei, I’m more focused on JACK XD

He has the Kaiba role of being a rich and stuck up rival, but the stuck up part doesn’t stay for long since his character develops pretty quickly. He’s still a generally serious person who cares a lot about strength (hence why his deck is a strength deck). His main weakness is Carly, the boys, and cup ramen. I find it funny how he sometimes prioritizes Carly over the boys xD

One thing I find interesting about him though is that his main monster, the Red Dragon Archfiend has…well, a red color scheme xD and Yusei, the main character, has a blue themed monster, the Stardust Dragon. You’d think that since Jack wear’s blue+white, he’d have a generally blue dragon but noooo >___> seriously though, JACK x CARLY FOREVER~ xP I ship them all the way. Carly’s so weirdly adorable, I love her :D she’s even more awesome when she was all evil as a Dark Signer :D

This is the moment where Jack’s all like “NO CARLY, I’M GONNA SAVE YOU!!”

I’m surprised 4Kids loosened up for this series and let all the lovey dovey stuff pass through O.o they even let all the physical violence show. That’s some improvement XD well the kids who enjoyed the original YGO are old enough (OBVIOUSLY) to watch that now anyways >_____>

Oh and here’s the cosplay version of that scene……well technically, this is the scene where he talks to her before the hug but whatever, IT’S STILL BEAUTIFUL!

Cosplay done by the awesome Ex-Shadow and this girlfriend malindachan. They always cosplay together and the boyfriend is the textile genius. That’s right. He makes all these clothes. Check out his and his gf’s deviantart accounts to see the beauty. I actually cried while going through his pictures, that’s how beautiful it was. I’m trying to teach myself how to make awesome clothes like this but that dream seems a “bit” far out…..I MUST TRY THOUGH!!! I can’t half-ass anything anymore!! AAAHHHH I hate myself >O<

Oh and just for fun, here's Jack all pimped out during some weird party:

Now that that’s settled, onto the next matter on the non-existent agenda. PHONES. Cause I just had like a reload of tech new today and now I’m all high and hyped from it XDDD

The new MyTouch for T-Mobile. That’s without the 3G in the name. Yeap. It basically looks like the last line of MyTouch with no QWERTY keyboard and….wait, what’s so different about this one XD oh yeah, it’s capable of that new HSPA connection. It’s apparently as fast as 4G….apparently.

A similar phone has been release by T-Mobile called the G2. This one does have a QWERTY keyboard and is available at Wirefly for $100 with a new contract. I am so totally not advertising in any way.

The HTC Desire HD is just a slightly better version of the Evo 4G and probably won’t be coming to the US for that very reason. It should be available online unlocked, though.

Now for Virgin Mobile, which we all know is a low-end carrier, is being given the Samsung Intercept. Oh yeah, and all these phones are running Android. Just wanted to point that out XD for once, Samsung hasn’t tainted the Android UI with their TouchWiz. This phone has an optical trackpad. Yeah. And thank god the microSD card slot is on the outside. Camera is only 3.2mp though, but….has flash. No QWERTY, I’m afraid.

For T-Mobile again is the LG Optimus T. It’s also running Android and it’s entry-level….but still a smartphone. This also has only a 3.2mp camera =__= but it has wifi, if you like that. I know I do. I don’t know how LG’s doing on their touchscreen smartphone game, but it sure as hell wasn’t great back then. It’s running Android though, so any problems you’ve faced with LG devices before shouldn’t be as bad anymore. Let’s all hope to God that it’s not.

Coming to Verizon is the Motorola Droid Pro. It’s surprisingly a global phone = compatible with CDMA and GSM networks. It has a kind of candybar formfactor with that QWERTY keyboard and a small touchscreen above it. Also running Android. It’s an Androidfest. BUT it has a 5.0mp camera with dual LED flash :D

Sprint’s present this year is the Samsung Transform. QWERTY keyboard + Android. That’s all you need to know XD doesn’t look that stunningly different in any way. NEXT!

The Casio G’zOne Ravine for Verizon – Casio’s new military-specified phone. Meaning that’s it’s shock resistant, waterproof and all that jazz. You can go batshit insane one day, get stressed out and just fling this mofo at your wall all day and it’ll still be working. I should probably get one.

And finally, even Satan gets a little gift this time – it’s the Motorola Flipout for AT&T. And yes, I refer to AT&T as Satan. But nevermind that, let’s talk about the phone. Of course it’s running Android. Even Windows Mobile phones are dying out. Even the Blackberry is pretty outdated. If the Torch is the best thing they got, well…..they better start coming up with something better XD the Flipout is a brother to the Flipside….only cause of the names. I recall there being a phone similar to this one but I forgot what it was called. When closed, this basically looks like a little square and the screen is touchscreen, of course. Then you flip the screen and “voila” a tinyass QWERTY keyboard. Not good if you have big hands though, that shit is all scrunched and there is not much space for the keys. The Flipside on the other hand is your standard QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the side. Both running MotoBlur.

Of course, I got all this from CTIA Fall 2010. Man, it’s that time already XD I feel too lazy to get anymore pictures (LIES, it’s cause it’s not anime related, YOU SUCK!).

Now this is some infuriating news time. Get ready for some bitchyass ranting. If you wanna skip, go right ahead, you’ll se a little /rant thingy XD

GLENN BECK, FUCK YOUUU. How dare you say that the firefighters were right to just stand there and watch a family’s house burn down?? They lost all their belongings, their memories, their pets, EVERYTHING! The reason why? Just cause they didn’t pay a goddamn $75. Hell, that family was willing to pay more than that on the spot and they STILL didn’t put the damn fire out!! It was only until the neighbor’s house caught fire that they decided to do something, but they still didn’t put out the fire of the initial family’s home. Nope. FOR A FUCKIN $75. This is what America has become. It’s disgusting, it’s despicable and these people claim to be Christians. You know what I, a Catholic, would do? If I was a firefighter there, I would’ve told all my mates to put out the goddamn fire before I threw them in there. If I was the neighbor whose house also caught fire, I’d tell the firemen to put their fire out also. Seriously, they literally just STOOD there, watching everything burn to a crisp. Now there’s no home, no pets, no nothing. WTF MAN? IS THAT WAS REPRESENTS AMERICA? GLENN BECK, YOU CAN BURN ALONG WITH THAT POOR FAMILY’S MEMORIES AND BELONGINGS, RIGHT IN HELL.

/rant

Sorry for that XDDD one more bit of pointless news. I now have a new nickname. Nicknames just come flying at me like dust X.X it’s Ciel. Too bad that when I hear Ciel, I think of Kuroshitsuji Ciel XD this one came from the letters “CL” from “crimson lotus” and when you say “C L” fast, it sounds like Ciel XD it’s weird how half my nicknames have to do with the wind or sky, that element xD like one of my first Japanese nicknames used to be Shiryuu Kazemi and the “kaze” means wind. Later on, there was SYK for “shiryuu yamiko kazemi” which later turned into SKY xDDD OMGGG and cause of that people started calling me Sora (whoever knew Jap at the time). And then there was a recent Italian nickname, “Luce DiCielo” =__= WTFFFF XD so yeah…..I’ve also been called Tsuna cause my birthday date is the 27th. And when I hear Tsuna, I think Hitman Reborn. And what element is Tsuna? That’s right. The SKY. THE FREAKIN SKY xD

====================================================

WATCH THIS.

[Rants by: 4 people]

We all know that a lot of dubbed anime doesn’t come close to the original, but whether it’s good or not is a matter of personal taste. The two main anime that come to mind are YGO and Pokemon, simply because I grew up with them and then realized how stupidly they were altered XD Pokemon actually wasn’t that bad. The voices were pretty close to the original (the main characters, anyways) and there’s really no part of the story to drastically change since it’s so simple. The only thing I had a problem with was whenever the characters ate riceballs, they either called it “jelly-filled donuts” or just flat out edited it to turn them into burgers/sandwiches:

YGO was insane, though X.X other than the fact that they edited out any guns (and therefore caused some henchmen to look like they were awkwardly pointing), they changed the story AND the characters themselves, AHHHH >O<

A good example would be KAIBA….and this is basically his overall outlook/personality:

Jap Kaiba – “I don’t believe in this fate or destiny stuff. I create my own future with my own hands, I go up the ladder of life with my own strength…..however, I can’t let the future of others be ruined just because of me, or break a promise.”

Dub Kaiba – “Screw those occult-loving dweebs. No matter what they say, each one of us are alone in this world and we all work on our own. Get anywhere near my brother or my company and you’re SCREWED.”

Yeah, he was still skeptical in the Japanese version, but at least he was a bit more considerate and he grew nicer as the arcs passed. There was actual character development. GASP. In the dub, however, he remained a skeptical bastard until the end of the Memory World arc when he said “Maybe there is some truth to this junk” but no one really heard him and he immediately denies ever saying it. Nice going.

[For a more in-depth thing about Kaiba (cause I got no life+lots of time like that), HERE it is.]

Yami’s personality was also REALLY different…..so different that it kind of makes me sad T^T

Jap Yami – “I’d be willing to stay with Yugi even if I don’t find my memories, cause we’re so awesome together– nah that’s a lie, Yugi’s nothing without me. He can’t even confess to the girl he likes without me telling him. Hell, he can’t even dress awesomely without me giving him tips.”

Dub Yami – “I already know I’m from Egypt and I kind of know why I’m here, but I’m gonna be all anal about finding out every detail of my past anyways. Oh, and I can’t even tell if I’m evil or not cause people keep giving me different backstories.”

YEAH……that’s right…..fashion tips. I remember one scene REALLY well where Yugi replaces the string of his puzzle with a chain and Yami’s just all “That looks good on you, but wouldn’t it all look better with some accessories, like some bracelets?” xDD I remember laughing so hard at that scene, I just can’t forget it. Also that one ep where Yugi forces Yami to go on a date with Tea, he’s trying on clothes and Yami says “Are you going on a date? Well, it’s about time, now GO GET EM!!!” oohho man….. I would like to share a quote from the dub Yami though, that I really liked :D it’s from the Battle City finals:

‎“How foolish! It’s our past that makes us who we are today! You can’t ignore where you came from. Don’t you know? It’s our history that shapes our future!”

Also, one more big character change: Bakura. He appears for only half the series and yet he’s the main final boss of the whole damn thing. He’s a MASTERMIND~! But they changed a lot of the stuff in the middle, cause 4kids is just evil that way. More evil than Bakura.

Jap Bakura – “Slowly but surely, I’ll let all these events flow since they’ll all lead right into my ultimate plan – to open to door of darkness. At the same time, I don’t know shit about my own past, all I know is that gathering all the items will release the door and that’s somehow good for me. I also put all actors to shame. You won’t know if it’s me or Ryou talking cause I’m just that good at acting.”

Dub Bakura – “With all the Millennium Items, I’ll be able to obtain power greater than that of the pharaoh and rule the world!! Unlike the pharaoh, I know everything about my past and everyone else’s BWAHAHHAA. And I desperately need Ryou so I think I’ll keep forcing him to let me use his body. And act extra British so that no one will know. Ever.”

Originally, Bakura was supposed to be plotting the whole thing that happened in the Memory World ever since freakin DUELIST KINGDOM. Yeah, he’s been planning that the whole damn time. Every time he talks to himself, it’s something about opening the door of darkness. But in the dub, they kept this quiet until around the actual arc everything happens…..well, that and the dub Bakura is a lot more forceful with Ryou. He’s just like “You’re not going anywhere and you’re gonna help me obtain those items whether you like it or not!” while in Japanese, he’s very simple “DOOR OF DARKNESS, DOOR OF DARKNESS” xD

Other general stuff would be like how they’re constantly going on about saving the world X.X on top of that, every single villain wants to take it over. That alone just killed all the villains’ personalities =___= except for Pegasus, they got his story generally right….and maybe even Zigfried xD

Marik: He only wanted to torture and kill Yugi ….yeah, it’s that simple. No “taking over the world” or “obtaining the pharaoh’s power”.
Yami Marik: A sadist and somewhat of a masochist. He doesn’t give a shit about taking over the world, he just wants to torture others. Oh yeah, and he didn’t send his father to the Shadow Realm, he stabbed him to death with the Millennium Rod. Oh wait, that wasn’t the rod, it was originally called the Millennium Axe. That’s right. An AXE.
Dartz: He was misguided by the Orichalcos and believed that all humans were evil. He continued to live on the earth for 10,000 years (kept alive by the power of the Orichalcos..?) to try and revive the Orichalcos God (or Great Leviathan in the eng ver). After reviving it, he would destroy the current world and create a new one, much like the once perfect Atlantis. He actually did see Atem in Egypt but wasn’t able to confront him cause it was during the time when Thief Bakura was causing mayhem, therefore preventing Dartz from doing anything. Oh, Bakura.

[WARNING: from here on out are spoilers for certain movies.....continue IF YOU DARE.]

Speaking of which, that new YGO movie that’s coming out, I WANNA SEE IT~!!! Of course, it’s BEEN released in Japan (in January, actually) and they even gave out special cards to everyone who watched it in theatres. We won’t be getting that cause America sucks like that xD but Dan Green’s in it, so I’m good 8D I’m starting to wonder why I keep spelling theatres like theatres x.x that kind of spelling is usually used in French and is changed to -er in English…..so why the hell do I spell it like thatttt >O< well yeah anyways, here’s Paradox himself:

Oh yeah, I forgot, the movie’s called “Yu-Gi-Oh!: Chouyuugo! Jikuu wo Koeta Kizuna!” which basically means “Super Fusion! Bonds That Have Transcended Time!”. Luckily for us, it’s simply called “Bonds that Transcend Time”. You can read the wikia there to get the story and all. I watched small parts of it and I can already tell that it’s gonna be a pretty serious movie. Not like heart-wrenching, but a hell of a lot better than the first one, FOR SURE XD for one thing, people actually DIE. I don’t know how the hell 4Kids is gonna work around that, but whenever familiar characters die early in the movie, you know something serious shit is gonna go down :P also, the villain, Paradox, isn’t much of a villain if you consider his motives. He comes from a future in utter ruins…..because of CARD GAMES. How the hell the whole world got so destroyed by card games is beyond me, but he seems to be one of, if not the only, survivor…..and yet he has such cool hair and clothes, AND a motorcycle that’s able to go through space and time (he also has really awkwardly placed spikes on his outfit). I don’t know, either.

His goal was to go back in time to prevent Duel Monsters from being created so that the future doesn’t end up being so crappily desolate. He does this the wrong way though, he goes to Yusei’s era first and then continues to go back from there. If he just went straight to Yugi’s era then it would’ve been fine but NOOO =___= he just had to take Yusei’s Stardust, just like a shitload of other villains already tried to do. Because he changed the different eras in a backwards order, time and space started to deteriorate, along with reality. Or something like that. Yeah, his methods weren’t that great, but he was considering the future of the world, willing to sacrifice a few people to make sure people even continued to exist as a whole at all. But of course, he duels the three main protagonists and he loses. Of course. Cause main characters automatically have the power to win EVERYTHING no matter what crappy situation they’re in. And you know what that means. The world will continue on its path to a distant destruction, created by cards. CARDS.

This movie’s coming out in the spring, with no set date or even month XDDD

Oh and the art director for this movie is TAKAHIRO KAGAMI. That means the animation is gonna be AWESOME! I LOVE KAGAMI~~

You know what else is being released this spring? THE NEW POKEMON MOVIE!!! That’s right! It’s called “Gen’ei no Hasha: Zoroaaku”. Title in English is “Phantom Ruler: Zoroark”. Critics didn’t give it great ratings…..well, it’s Pokemon, wtEFF are you expecting? It’s an interesting idea though, that this new Pokemon was able to transform into Ash….like an evil Ash XD bad news is – dubbing voice actors are differenttt AAHHHH it’s just not the same if Eric Stuart isn’t voicing Brock and James, it just isn’t~ T^T I mean I really wanna see it, but I think I’ll be heartbroken to find that I won’t be hearing Eric Stuart’s voice…..DANGIT XD I really like the animation for Pokemon movies, though. Like a lot of anime movies, the animation is a lot more fluid and they use a lot of 3D for the environment so it just makes everything look prettier :D

I have to say, Zorua looks adorable and Zoroark looks somewhat cool :DD I’m just glad that Raikou makes some kind of appearance in a movie FOR ONCE and that Celebi is also back *^^* I’m still a hardcore Suicune fan though :D WATER POKEMON~!!

That EFF is currently a combination of sorrow and rage. The source: the latest and supposedly last ep of Kuroshitsuji. Yeap. Everyone’s making a fuss about it and THIS is why:

SERIOUSLY WTFFF ok fine so he’s also a demon now, poor Sebby won’t be able to eat his soul ever ever since there IS no soul to eat and he STILL has to serve Ciel for eternity…..all his hard work paid off for shit~!!! I cried….CRIEDD. Even if they do have a 3rd season and they go prancing around eating souls together, that…..it just wouldn’t be the same T^T and Sebby would certainly be unhappy doing so. He already looked really upset around the end. But like a calm upset. He didn’t look pissed or sad or anything, just….”dammit I can’t do anything about it…..oh well….” like so hopeless~

And Claude, wtf was up with him, dying so peacefully like that >.< I wanted Sebby to slowly torture him AAHHHH he was such a bitch and he didn't get what he deserved....GRR!

GRRR!!!!!

Also, I’d just like to get this out my chest about how it annoys me to no end when people talk to me about how “oh it’s the start of the semester but my teacher is so mean and the work is so hard, I’m gonna fail for sure…..I better not fail in ___011 though” ….wtf are you serious, man? I know I’m not exactly the best student either and I do also complain about my classes and profs in the beginning of the semester, but never do I immediately deduct that I’m gonna fail with no questions asked. I also know that not everyone’s like me, but most people would agree that THAT is a retarded way of going about it. The class this person was talking about is freakin ENG101. ENG101. Need I say more? It’s a class he/she needs and they complaining that failing is the only option? Oho hell no. You can kindly stfu and do your best in that class regardless. Not that this person has ever done their best….. you know what? This YGO icon explains my feelings perfectly:

And this one’s just for fun XD I couldn’t help myself, I just had to make this haha:

So yeah, Kuroshitsuji and that person have officially upset me today XDD

Well that should be obvious. The first thing I’m gonna do is get laid. And then I’m gonna get laid again. Then do some crack and get laid some more. That’s what I’m all about. Getting fucked. [Dan Green during a Samurai Deeper Kyo blooper]

We’ve all been mad to some degree. Some get mad easier than others, some get mad more often than others. I myself am a pretty hot-headed person and I get irritated pret-ty easily, but never did I get genuinely mad. When I say that, I don’t mean the “about to kill the first person you see” type of mad.. and I thought that was the worst type possible. Nope, because even if you do feel that way, you probably won’t actually kill someone.

Recently, I’ve finally gotten past that “kill everything” level and reached the ultimate level of madness. I won’t get into detail about what happened, but all I know is that being that mad felt scary. Basically, when someone is continuously yelling at me with gatling words, I usually don’t say anything until they’re done – and if those words hit my core, then I start tearing a little. It’s natural for me. It was like that until I suddenly felt really light. I heard someone yelling at me, but I didn’t know what they were saying – the words were going out the other ear. Or maybe I did know what was being said but I just didn’t care anymore. I felt like an empty shell, empty enough to think I had no soul… or something or other xD I really had no thoughts or emotion, though. And as you might know, no emotions = the worst thing in the world to me…so I was pretty scared after I realized what happened.

Fact #1: Once I get that angry, I remain emotionless and will rarely talk until the other person admits they were wrong.

Fact #2: Even with my void-of-all-emotions face, I’m still a readable person and you can easily tell what I’m “feeling”.

This is just a quick rant, nothing special – about the new feature Google has put into Gmail – the calling feature. I don’t even know what it’s officially called, if it even has a name. I checked my mail a few days back and saw THIS shenanigan:

WTF IS THISSSS this is so pointless gahh *epic face ripping maneuver*

Ok I wouldn’t say it’s completely pointless since you can basically make free calls from your browser which sounds nice. Maybe other people will find this “exciting”, but it’s eh to me. On top of that, everyone’s saying that it’s gonna somehow replace freakin SKYPE. I do not understand – gigantic question mark. I guess I kind of do, since the idea of both is to make free calls, but Skype is its own program with a lot of features…..unless you’re so desperate to make a call that you just can’t wait to install a program and you would rather call from your email (…..??). I believe calls in and between US and Canada are free (yeah, they’re right next to us, no point in charging us for that pft) and international calls are at 2¢/min. That’s not that bad actually, but I’d rather use Skype where I can call people everywhere for free xD well the only difference here is that Gmail is calling actual phones, not just another computer. You can also do that with Skype, but I forgot what the rates and stuff are = .=; not that bad, though.

All in all, I doubt this new Gmail feature will come anywhere close to beating down Skype. NEVAR!!!!

I call it a phenomenon. Cause the word is awesome. Anyways, this “phenomenon” is basically my sudden interest in the colors white and blue as opposed to my usual black and red, which I still love. I’m just becoming attracted to white+blue these days. I thought about it. And then it hit me. It’s all YGO’s fault. AGAIN. Like seriously, I just unconsciously like what my favorite characters or people like and then it just blends into my inner core personality overtime. Sometimes it just continues without me realizing it. For example, that one phase I had where I keep wearing the dark blue+gray combo. I recently realized that it was because BoA once said that her favorite colors were navy blue and gray. I felt pretty stupid when I thought of that xD

See the white+blue stripes? Yeah, I’m dying for a shirt like that right now xDD

I guess people take on after others unconsciously whether it be friends, family, idols….anime characters…..xD oh yeah, the white and blue thing was from Bakura. I’m guessing it’s cause I have this friend who calls herself Melvin and she calls me Florence so I was just like “hey I already got the british accent down, let me wear his colors too just to make myself worthy of being called FLORENCE” xDDD man, a stupid friend nickname thing turned into THIS useless shenanigan. I like that word, too. Shenanigan. SHENANIGANS!
