When I found out Bea Arthur passed away, a bit of me died inside. I wanted to see more her, some how and some way. But I won't. I hope that maybe they'd do something in or with Deadpool to commemorate her. I wish I never found out.
Ann's party was... interesting. Plenty of drinking and drunks. And a particularlu drunken hotty hitting on me. Maybe he wouldn't be interested otherwise, but I was glad. But it was hard babysitting my friend(s) and being bored outside of the video games and disgusted otherwise. So glad I don't drink. I don't want to anymore. But hey, you live and learn, as Conte sang.
And while thinking over Basquash, I realized how diverse the cast truly is. A lot of those characters are quite tan, and of the main 3/4, only of them isn't. Wow. I'm loving it even more. Thank you Mr. Romain, and perhaps Mr. Kawamori? It's always hard to say with him.
But I got nothing else. Finally opened Starset and trying to get myself on track with everything else. I sincerely hope, wish and pray that everything goes okay, for myself and everyone.
A nice night and great dreams to all ♥.

One of Few
Very few. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't like Hetalia. I know I'm not, but almost. I tried to read a little one time, but I couldn't get into it. It seems like pointless BL. And I prefer my BL with a plot (almost all my pronz with plot actually). The idea is pretty awesome, gijinka countries, and some of the fanart is gorgeous. I just don't care much for the settings and stereotypes. Even if it's meant in good light and light-hearted, it's like RE5 in a way to me. I like to believe they didn't mean for it to be racist imagery, but it's still unnecessary and pretty harsh. History has history. Acting ignorant about it is not excusable, and if you're going to write about something or use its settings, do your research. And when people feel their feelings or culture is offended, I hate how others brush it off, whether of that ethnic descent or not. People have a right to be hurt.
I only just learned about this thing with Korea, but I don't blame them really. If they feel their country isn't portrayed right, even minimally, they don't have to air the show. If the fans can still watch it online, what's the problem? More importantly, they should be sincerely understanding people's feelings rather than defending a fandom. I don't know if people do it because of their pride of love of the show. And when I start to see that kind of ignorance or insensitivty, it makes me like the fandom and series less. And it doesn't help the series any. That goes for RE5 and Hetalia. And a lot of stuff actually...
Since I don't keep up with Hetalia, I don't know if Africa or African Americans are portrayed at all, and I kind of thought even if I don't like it, maybe AA fans that enjoy should get some representation, but then maybe it's better for our ethnicity/culture not to be stereotyped anymore,e specially considering how wonky it all is in Hetalia. Even that title is harsh to me. 'Useless Italy'. Even if Italy wasn't a good guy in WWII, that kind of imagery will prevail in people's minds, and such imagery and ideology is fodder for other people like trolls or racists, etc. Not too mention people seriously absorb and believe stereotypes often. Even amongst friends of mine and classmates, I don't know if people are joking about stereotypes or not sometimes, but it doesn't feel nice even if they are joking.
Maybe if it was done different, and not focused on WWII, I'd be sucked into it. Not to mention the fandom is beginning to remind me of Naruto. Things start off so brilliant but just get disgusting, fandom and canon wise. I am so glad One Piece is One Piece (and that goes for all my other canons I enjoy).
Useless rant. But it felt good.
(Unlike Storm Hawks ending.)

Sweet Youth
The weekend was spent with my sister spending the night and then us unintentionally spending the night with my cousins. Since she slept over, they picked us up Saturday and it was a lot of fun being at downtown with them all (our other cousin even showed up). It was too bad my little Austie Aus wasn't there, but it was fun. But that girl needs to learn not to run off on her own and understand that especially when she's on other people's time and all, things aren't about her. It was an outing for us all, but it was especially for my ('step'-)cousin. After downtown it was back to her house and we spent a lot of time there.
The funniest part was my cousin and her brother arguing over me. With my cousin being my wifey and him claiming me as his girlfriend (and out of the blue making me his santa) it was complicated. More so whe his (partially?) drunk friend said I was cute and some other stuff I missed (but wanted to hear). While we were supposed to get dropped off at 11:30, we ended up going home the next morning. But we did get In-N-Out at least. And as usual, older brother was teasing me about my age and looks, but it's not my fault I'm loli, but I did get called cute a lot because of it. But not all people our age and older are going to think that's cute. I'm actually thinking the guy(s) I like will probably be creeped out to be interested in a younger looking(!) girl. But cest la vie? I don't even remember what that means anymore.
Oh well. And I finally finished Robert's project, of course it came out worse by the end. I'm so sorry Pochama! But now I have my reflective journals, guidance and anth report to do. And MUFHL reports to finish and turn in. Ugh? But I can do it! I sure as heck am gonna try.
And another item cancelled on my order, but at least it was one I didn't want as much. I'm seriously hoping to get the last few. And I also hope to find a belt (just) like the one I missed out on. That was ridiculous though. Out of no where suddenly unavailable though? I'd almost think that they spited me. But I hope they love me~.
And Basquash is heating up for me. Iceman, you are an intense and fun Hottie indeed. And Dan, you're too much. I'm surprised he doesn't somehow make me nosebleed with how much I love him. Just glad I'm not orgasming all over like Sela. And of course, it's like One Piece. Zero, actual romance. I love it, but I think I can see possible pairings, but I'll be glad if it just stays this way. Live on, Basquash ♥. So glad Mr. Romain is on the project, or Kawamura would be murdering it, haha (mostly).

I skip to school?
What I really meant to say was the bus stop. So on the otherside of town hall, grandma has a friend who lives in the houses and she walked over there (they're walking buddies too) and she saw a couple of houses for rent. And one of them is cheaper than our apartment. Moving time? Maybe. Kinda, sorta hopefully. It's convenient since it's also close to the bus stop, and the E-Tran will have a harder time leaving me behind if I'm in front instead of behind it. And it's technically somewhat closer to the RT as well. I hope it's the two-story that she looked into, but even the one story looks nice (and two stories get tedious). I'm hoping we'll get to tour them soon. We've been thinking a lot about moving lately, but we don't any areas that are convenient aside from this one. And lo and behold. I just hope things work out.
And I'm proud of myself as far as classes go. Still slacking a bit, but I got a perfect A on my anecdotals and I feel comfortable with everything else. And I found my concerts and I'm going to try and finish my papers this weekend. I also found some great musicians today in class. But gah, gotta catch the bus so I'll update this or make a new one when I get home.
And the point of skipping to school, I'd skip to the bus stop to make the trip seem shorter.
And so I decided to edit/update this post. Japanese went really, really well. I said Brian danced like Beyonce and earned a nice laugh out of the class, enjoyed most everything and feel like I understand part of our impossible grammar point slightly better. And I've watched Yo!! Son Goku [...] for the umpteenth time now. I'm seriously hoping they do a little something more for DBZ (that Toriyama is involved in), and that it has Tarble, Gure and child Trunks and Goten. I want to see the while group, especially in a fun scene like that, but specifically those characters (and that means something for the timeline). They could mini adventures for Goten and Trunks that are strongly reminiscent of Dragon Ball. I think us fans would devour that and attempt to spit it back up numerous times to devour more, because that would be something that would be delicious no mattter how many times it'd be puked up. Beautiful, isn't it?
I realize I'm kind of 'blah' on the writing too right now, but I feel everything there. I believe I'm getting very lazy, but I hope I can attribute it to a monthly thing and if it is, it'll be over soon. I'm also considering some fanfic projects, and thinking of how to finish the others. I hope I get to everything. And I also need to check classes again. I'm pretty intent on English major, but I'm still open. And just wanting to enjoy school. I just want to get a BA/AA and have fun with classes for now. Once I get my head sorted, I'll really start thinking about transferring.
Well, I can think of nothing more so I'll leave it here and continue to wait patiently for my rp buddy to respond. A lovely weekend to all ♥. Party hardy, yo!

Ah, Life ♥
Things have been really awesome lately. Got to see Erica and Lysa, and am so enjoying Baquash and K-ON!, especially the music. I can't wait until DS"L" comes out on the 22, and Basquash's songs later (in May!?). Things have been calm and rather smooth, especially as far as shopping. I haven't really touch my money lately, thank goodness, but I did just order quite a bit and when put with my last order (which should come soon), it all adds up to $400. Quite a hefty amount, but I found a lot of good sales, especially this time. And I managed to find a lot of the type of clothes and even accssores (hats, bags and belts) that I really enjoy. And I think I've found the perfect things to appease my appetite and keep healthy grocery wise. I hope I won't have to do shopping for either in a while. Especially clothes shopping.
At the moment, I'm really looking forward to AnimeExpo, but if the nxt guests they get are ridiculous, I refuse to go. I may not even want to go see Momoi in Fanime. I mean, I already don't plan on going to Fanime, but Momoi is my fallback. But I don't know... I mean, Morning Musume is cool in their own right and they have plenty of fans, but for AX, I don't think they're the right guests. I hope they can get some really awesome people to make up for that (I'll cry if they get Oda-sensei). And I really hope at least one of the creators/artists on my list gets chosen, because it'd be inspiring to work on fanart for the series. Although I've been doodling, I haven't been drawing the way I want to or should, so I hope to soon. I have been working on my ideas though, mostly RP-wise. It helps develop them pretty much, but I feel RPing is what I need and want for my writing now, so I hope for one successful RP at least.
And I finally got my Rhythm Heaven, but my cousin is more bad ass than I am! Serious let down, but I'm about to play now and give it my all ♥. I'm hoping things keep on this nice track. Although things have been great, not everything has gone my way, but I appreciate this balance. I just hope school goes better...
Take care all. And I'm hoping to catch the new Secret Sats starting this Friday!

Oh Youturb
I am so loving listentoyoutube.com right now. Because of it, I can now listen to free without veoh or youtube ;u;. Ah, lovely day - evening, actually. Having Free will help me wait patiently for next week's Basquash. And although I'm not so into K-ON!, it's growing on me, especially Mio. And the ending of course, Don't Say Lazy is too darn catchy. I thought fall had a great season, but spring is showing great promise too. I think fall had a better and greater diversity of great shows, but the great anime in spring are like, pwnsauce. But with one mixing moe and Beck and the other mixing mech and Macross F team (seiyuu and creator), it figures.
Although I'm a bit ashamed of myself for not having drawn today, I got more aquainted with photoshop and coding, in the process of making a post format. It was a bivatcchee to do, but quite worth it. K-ON! post layout and Basquash sig make me happy ♥. And I'm also done with Starset too. It kind of bothers me that I'm getting so lost in what I want and originally intended for it, but I am happy that I've worked so hard and it's near completion. The story is actually the only part I need to finish. And after that, I'll probably work on everything else, hopefully with the same amount of dedication and even more creativity.
Although I haven't had any proper writing practice lately, I hope to sit down tomorrow/today or Thurs. and get a lot in. As well as finish my papers and start my reflective journals @n@.... My slacking is odd and disappointing. Although I'm getting most everything done, I've abandoned those papers and I hope being a month late won't kill my grade or anything. And I'm hoping I can carry on the rest of my semester (near) perfectly. And I can't wait for the next semester. And although I really want to take that cooking class, I'm not going to unless I can get my permit soon. But I guess that means I had better study... Yikes!
I can think of nothing else, so I'll end it here. Hoping for a nice week, I really liked today's weather, so I'm hoping to see more of it ♥.

Darn basketball. ...Plus mech
I am seriously loving Basquash. And I think some people's opinion are funny. And to me, it's pretty pointless to put, "don't like mecha or basketball, no watch." You could have saved yourself some type time and everyone else some read time. And it's nice that it's got a generally good outlook on the first episode. Although some people are being pretty close minded (and racist). And although I should be comparing it to other mech anime, I just want to compare it to Michiko to Hatchin. I can't entirely say why, but I guess in part ae the style and racial diversity. Which is also beautiful to see done so wonderfully. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. I finally got Opoona too <3.>
I've also got a little addiction to MangaBullet going. I've been on almot everyday and have a list of users and art on my favorites, and I hope to join soon. I just want to be sure I'll actually have something to put in my gallery when I do join. It's nice to see a cool, devoted and fun community that isn't tainted like dA. Hope it stays that way. I think the users and admin/creators are perfect, but I fear certain groups of people will try and slip in.
Since Spring Break is now here, I'm also going to try and start up on my schedule, at least a little. But it's startin' bad, since I'm still wide awake (is it the allergy meds). And I hate that feeling, when you're recovering from a part of your sickness(/allergies) but another part gets worse. My throat is feeling great, but the congestion is whacky.
I guess I'll linger and try to sleep now. Every time I get in bed and try to say me prayers, I either just get knocked out or lapse between sleep and saying part of them. Weird. Totemo weird desu.
