Bye 2009. It's been alot of fun!

2009 is ending, time to ring in the new decade!!!
All in all, it's been a pretty super awesome year. Sure it could of been better, but that's ok. Time goes on. There has been good and bad this year, and that's ok.

So g'bye 2009, hello 2010!

Anyways, I'm really liking the steampunk style. That sounds really dumb, but I'm OBSESSED with Steampunk Goggles and pocketwatches. They are fucking awesome. Seriously, alternate Victorian Era England is pretty kickass. Plus, some of the steampunk fiction looks really good. I'm going to list some examples:

- A Calculus of Angels (This one is borderline. More like alternate history)
- Ichabod Hart and the Lighthouse Mystery by James Roy

- Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
- Leviathan by Scott Westerfield (Author of the Uglies? Better impress me!)
- Whitechapel Gods by S.M. Peters
- The Translated Man by Chris Braak
- Ave Molech by Michael Hurston
- Clockwork Heart by Dru Pagliassotti (reluctant to read this one. It's a romance... >_>)
- The Irrelevant Redemption: A Steampunk Fairytale (I'm sure this one is graphic novel, but it sounds pretty damn good).

WELL I'M OFF TO WATCH STUFF ABOUT ENGLAND IN LIKE THE 1700s (PRIDE AND PREJUDICE) TATATATA HAVE A GOOD LAST DAY OF THE YEAR!

LADY GAGA.

FFFFFFFFT, OHGOD. Today was awesomeeee. Or at least the last two hours were. XD. Practice today was a bitch. D:. I felt naseous the entire time, blah. But haha, Mendel's Pho Party. :).

So I got there at 6:40ish. It was hard to find since it was rainy and stuffff. We waited for Mijo Fishie and Josh by playing Super Smash Brother Brawl. Hahaha, loads of fun. :).

When they got there we had the Pho. REALLY good beef, ok soup. I'm kinda picky though, so no worries. It was still good. Afterward, we spammed Mendel's Facebook. "IT'S LIKE TWITTER!" haha, oh Kevin.

Sliding on the floor, commentary on Tales of Graces... AWESOME looking game. I really want it when it comes out in the US. Since Mendel's not legit enough to wait for it to come out in the US and downloaded it. Foo. One guy had a boomerang which Kevin was obsessed with. Another character looked like Lady Gaga. And then the main guy jumping on the water. He SOOOO walks on it. They just can't show it cause it's blasphemous! :O.

And the enemies looked like pokemon! XD. Beedrill, Ursaring... HAHAHA, we're such noobs. Then Mijo and Fishie not realizing it's wet outside and walking out in their socks... FAILLLL. And Mendel's floor is awesome. It's so slipperyyyy :).

Tee hee lots of fun. :D

WATCH PRINCESS AND THE FROG

Saw Princess and the Frog today. GOD IT WAS SO AWESOME.
Naveen & Tiana were great. They're personalities compliment each other. :P. Such a cute couple. I love how Naveen is fracking broke. And Tiana... God I love her voice. It's so sassy. :P. And her swinging voice is awesome. :).

Louis and Ray are cool too. Louis = BIG LIPPED TRUMPET PLAYING ALLIGATOR MOMENT. And the music is so awesome. Jazz at it's finest. Favorite one is Down in New Orleans. So damn catchy and so damn good. Makes me want to get up and dance.

GOD, ONE PIECE IS ON BREAK FOR TWO WEEKS. FML.

one piece rocks.

Ace is so cuteee in this picture. I couldn't help it. :P.

So before I go into ONE PIECE land, I better report how Christmas went: Got alot of goodsies - mostly gift cards and clothes, but that's what I wanted, so I'm not complaining. :). I got sick on the 26th though and was stuck in bed all day. D:. Luckily I got better in time for the game, although I was still feeling queasy. (LOL, 11/16THs. TRY PLAYING THAT ON THE PIANO. :P). Still feeling not so hot today, so I stayed home from swim practice, Finished One Piece (when I say one piece, I mean got up to date :P), watched Raymond play Uncharted 2 (BLOODY HELL, THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT). Btw Orange Range is awesome. Their Asterisk Romantic Version is hilarious. It's practically him talking. XD.

I feel like something's wrong with me. I was drawing these really creepy eyes and stuff while Taylor Swift was on. lolwut.

NOW ONE PIECE TIME. 8D.

ohgod, I really want to know if they rescue Ace or not! I'm pretty sure they will, but still~. God, Oda sensei is such a jerk. How could he seperate the crew! I feel betrayed. It's like NONONONO GIVE ME BACK MY CREW ;_;. Haha, but Bonclay and Luffy's friendship is really awesome. and the doctor with his death wink. BEST ATTACK EVER. I WANT IT.

Now I'm going to go ranting about one piece couples I like / tolerate:

Usopp / Kana:
ONLY PERSON ALLOWED TO BE PAIRED WITH USOPP. I'M SORRY. BUT NO OTHER PERSON IS ALLOWED. It makes me not feel good when people pair Usopp up with anyone else. Because it's Usopp. I love him, but he's not really... well I just don't like him with anyone else other than the girl he left from his village. I mean I like his friendship with Nami... but no romantic connections other than Kana :P

Hancock / Luffy:
Hancock is adorable. Arigatou = / = Ashiteru! XD. She's soooo dumbly crushing on Luffy and he's like lolwutno. I love it.

Luffy / Nami:
I'm obligated to like this pairing. All because of the Arlong Arc. Mostly the Arlong Arc anyways. I enjoy this pairing because it's balanced. Even though yeah, Luffy is a COMPLETE DUMBASS, Nami's smarts with Luffy's strenght... I dunno, they just compliment each other perfectly.

Zoro / Nami:
Eh, this couple is only ok to me. It has potential, but neither character has as big connection. But it could still work.

Zoro / Sanji:
This type has to be written VERY WELL. AND I MEAN VERY WELL. I'm very picky with this coupling since I adore both characters, you have to make them in character, at least a LITTLE BIT for me to accept it. Because they do have an awesome nakama thing, much as they don't want to admit it. The arc with Moria proved that. Mostly anime in which I like them, but whatever.

Zoro / Tashigi
IT'S JUST TOO FUNNY. How Tashigi looks like Kuina... GOD I'M SORRY, They don't even interact that much, but it's just too funny to ignore. It's like ODA SENSEI, THANK YOU FOR COMPLETING THIS AWKWARD CIRCLE. Everytime they meet, it's awesome. Because of the awkwardness.

Robin/ Franky
CP9 arc. That's all I can say. That whole arc made me like this couple.

Robin / Zoro
It's hard to explain this one. read the manga and it just works. IT JUST FREAKING DOES. XD. Mostly the Skypeia arc. (as little as I remember of it)

STRAW HAT CREW X ADVENTURE
BECAUSE ODA SENSEI SAID SO. ONLY CANON PAIRING :)

DAIJOBU~

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! And have a happy holiday for all of those who are celebrating something else. :).

Hahaha, I spent like the entire day reading One Piece. I fail right? Well I stopped reading it around 8th gradish, So I had to catch up ALOT. They're on chapter 568 now... Well I kept reading and reading and now I'm chapter 501! (Starting around 380ish, yaha!)

One piece is the only manga I will ever forgive for going on for an eternity. Because I just don't want it to end. Unlike Naruto, which should die a horrible painful death since it's so boring, One Piece has alot of heart, alot of laughs, intense, kickass, and generally an enjoyable read. I love the characters, I love the messages, I love how FREAKING HYPER the music is.

Yeah yeah, the anime. Granted I stopped watching it around the time they entered the grand line since it was sooooo slow (the fight scenes... god they drag on forever. You think the manga drags a tad? the anime shows the same shots over and over. NOOOOOO) , but the Japanese Subs were WONDERFUL. The voice actors are great, and I always crack up while watching it.

One Piece... well it's One Piece. Nothing can really replace it in my heart.

So you may think I'm pathetic spending my Christmas Eve reading One piece. Well I say whatever. I regret nothing :)

Silver dishes for the memories~

----> Fruits basket is possibly my favorite shojo manga ever. Because god damn, I love how Natsuki Takaya develops her relationships, and the complexity of her characters. Yuki and Machi are my favorite couple in the universe <3. Kyo and Tohru are adorable, but I love Machi. And I love Kakeru. :). Tee hee. Every single couple in that series I support. Akito & Shigure, Kureno & Arisa, even the (weird) Uo & Kazuma. I think that's just it's so hilarious to see Kyo go NONONONONONONO. XD.

Gaaah! Pandora Hearts went Kuroshitsuji on me! and Kuroshitsuji went Case Closed on me! WAAAAAAAH.

And at this time, I would like to add how much the music of Kuroshitsuji and Pandora Hearts OWNS. God, Kuroshitsuji is positiviely oozing with dark gothic chords, (I'm Alive to portray the humor in the series I think. LOL, I like that song too). Pandora Hearts is bittersweet and melancholy. The song Everytime You Kissed Me is GOREGEOUS. It's like a music box - nostalgic and bittersweet. Wonderful.

... 8D SO GO LISTEN TO EM YES? :)

I WANNA STAY LIKE THIS FOREVER~

Oh my gosh, Christmas Card Lane was soooo fun!

Playing with Darren's lightsaber the entire time. Waving it around a stuff, giving everyone seizure's hahahaha. And then the LSD glasses. I remember I was running towards Kevin F. with my lightsaber and he screamed like a little girl. TEE HEE HEE. LSD glasses were awerrrrsome. They made everything rainbowy.

THERE WAS A NEW TETRIS BLOCK ON CHRISTMAS CARD LANE. IT MADE A CHRISTMAS TREEE. :).

omg omg, I miss the Winnie the Pooh movie. It was so sad, but awesome. I want to watch it. :3. Christopher Robin has a British accent, lololol.

FOREVER AND EVER, IS A VERY LONG TIME, POOH.
FOREVER ISN'T LONG AT ALL WHEN I'M WITH YOU <3

hmm hmms

Got the Coldplay CD finally. Viva la Vida. The first song is completely instrumental, hahaha. It's pretty awesome. :). When we were playing on the way back from the store, everyone was so confusedddd. xD.

oh yeah, and Planet Earth is so freaking depressing. It's like wtf, it's about earth, it's frakking beautiful filming, but telling us the Polar Bear that we just got attached to is going to die? YEAH THAT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY BUCKETS. THANKS. T__T

... Other than that, pretty sad day. I really don't want to talk about that.

Other than this: There is no God. I can't believe that he'd ever do anything so cruel to people who did nothing in their lives other than love.

greatest day pretty much. :)

Oh wow, today was really really awesome. <3

So getting to school carryin 2 packs of Caprisun and my beautifullll stain glass cookies. Coming in and helping set up for our amazing potluck. There was so much food in WHAP! So much goooooooood food. omg there were these really good chocolate peanut butter truffles. And Ham. And Carrots.

We kidnapped SOOOO many people! Like Felicia and Tiffany, haha. and Eileen and Connie coming. HAHAHA. And watching David's video with Insomnia man and Narcalepsy boy. TEE HEE FABIO METALPUFFS WITH STRAIGHT HAIR. SO AWESOME.

In APAH we had our presentations. Most people did foods, but we had 4 song people. OH GOD ROSHAN'S. Repousse to Single's Ladies. With the leather pants. I laughed so freaking hard. Karl's was pretty funny too, even though probably not as intentional. XD

And then Gov. First just sitting around. We looked through Karl's wallet, and I stole his license and his monies. Then Christine, Barbara and I went on a field trip to Scruggs. I got some cards from his room, which was an incomplete deck. and went to visit Tanaka's to get some tea for Jeff (That lazy bum). LOL at Barbara trying to be discreet and yelling "HE'S NOT HERE" when he was talking to some students. XD. LULZ FAIL.

Playing Spoons where I failed. Urmila would have won, but there was no 4th queen. XD. And the fail 8 drawn on in pen. Then playing BS and having 7 kings and 5 jacks. EPIC WIN. >:D. Hahaha.

And then Karl figured out someone looted his wallet. So he stole Christine's stuff cause he thought she stole it. Then stole Barbara's license cause she thought he stole it. LOL at Christine trying to get Barbara's license out of his butt pocket by using a candycane. And Barbara: "IT'S IN HIS LEFT BUTTCHEEK!" XDDDDDDDDDD. Oh god, I've never laughed so hard. I love my Gov class. So awesome. 8D.

Ok, I'm going to finish this manga now. Lol I love the not so subtle Ryuu. "DON'T KILL YOURSELF!" @___@; XD

COOKIES <3

Anddddddddddddd I finished my stained glass cookies. They actually came out really good. I'm pleasantly surprised. :). I had one too. Pretty goooodddd. Now tomorrow all I gotta do is put black frosting on em! Hee hee.

Welp break is almost here! I can almost taste it on the tip of my tongueee! D:. Why is it so far away.... ;_;.

Excited for break this year. Christmas card lane, Dim Sum party, Pho party, Princess and the Frog, Avatar, Call of Cthulhu game... Yayyyy.

So better go study some apah. Tata. :)

We've been jimmy-jacked!

LOLOLOLOL NO WAY HE CAN'T. :). SORRY, HE'S GROUNDED.

Haha, last night was awesome. Big debate over facebook on stargate. It was pretty cool knowing that other people know about sci fi shows that awesome.

Watched Night of the Museum 2: Battle for the Smithsonian. I LOVED IT. Hilarious stuff. Amelia and Larry's interaction was GOLD. And watching them go into a museum and seeing art pieces you recognize? God, a night guard in a living museum would be FREAKIN AWESOME. New awesome job!

And oh god, this manga is hilariously awkward. I'm just trying to imagine my reaction to these things. Actually it's pretty accurate how I'd act. Except more retarded / violent. Hahahaha... >_>;

But if Lancelot came to visit I'd be like LOL WHERE'S GWENIVERE first. And then I'd be like wait. If you exist that means King Arthur is real...

HISTORICAL FIND OF THE CENTURY! 8{D. YEAHHHH.

Might as well jump~

OMG, the Glee finale for this year was yesterday. It was sooo dramaful. D:. Damn I really don't like Rachel. I love the rest of the characters though. XD. Well not all of them, but you get it. Awesome songs, and I loved loved loved the end of the episode. With the group singing "My life would suck without you" and then Will chasing after Emma... TEE HEE HEE I giggled like a little girl when I saw that episode. :)

Watched Bones too. Made me sad, but also made me giggle with the awkwardness. And the christmas spirit. :3.

Hahahahaha, so gotta get to work! Busy busy busy~.

YAY I'M GOING TO COLLEGE

I'M GOING TO COLLEGE! HOORAAAAY!

wow, comic nerd rant, haha.

Bah, didn't do that great at the swim meet. :/. I did drop time in one event, but still not good enough to be considered a notable meet. :[

Hummmm, other than that I spent the rest of the weekend decorating the tree, studying for APAH, Watched Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, watched part of the live thing for TGWTH.com for the donation. I can't believe that Doug has a girlfriend! O___O. I want to know who it is though.

AND OMG I DIDN'T KNOW SPOONY HAD SO MANY FANGIRLS. O___O. SO FRAKKING SCARY. D:. I love Spoony too, but it was quite disturbing what they were saying about the poor guy. Personally I like Doug better. And Linkara. Linkara is adorable. XD. I should probably watch some of his Atop the 4th Wall ones, although I'm not that much into comics... I mean I still love them but...

SERIOUSLY, the new flash is insane. They brought back Barry AND Bart. WHAT THE FUCK. Don't kill of Bart, have me sob my freaking eyes out and then be like "OH YEAH HE'S BACK NOW!". Oh, and this whole thing with Dark Flash (not really dark flash. I forget his name. He's the yellow one. I know, I fail.) alternating history and stuff? Killing Barry's mom and then going to kill Iris before she marries Barry so then none of the other flashes will exist, but then neither will he?

... clearly he doesn't know about time paradoxes. Or if he does, he's just stupid. :. Blah DC is so complicated. They have this whole thing with reinventing Supergirl... Gah. And Wonder Woman getting a fiancee, then losing him and shit... UGH. Green Arrow and Black Canary being lurvy and stuff, Canary kicking ass while Green Arrow is has OMG ISSUES.

:. I miss the old days of comics. I love the old Spiderman's & Fantastic 4. But now everything needs to be complicated and have issues -___-;

I DON'T WANNA LOT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Johnny Depp is such an insanely awesome actor. He can do ANY role! It's so crazy... And yeah Edward Scissorhands is freaking adorable. That scene where Kim asks her to hold her, and he says he can't... and then... WAAAAAAAH. That movie is awesome <3.

Jon Stewart is awesome too. I love his sense of humor. I love the daily show. He always makes me laugh. :3

GOD DAMN YOU MARIAH CAREY. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS SO CATCHY. I love that song though, even if I don't care about the subject material. :X. Damn she can hit insanely high notes.

Tee hee, been making snowflakes in the library. I love it! :) Soooo much fun!

I had a reason for starting this but now I'm in too good of mood to discuss it. OBAI BAI.

whoever she may be.

Ugh, this week has been pretty trashy. So tired and sore. Blah.

Listening to alot of differnet music lately. It's sort of nice.

... I'm sorry, alot of things are happening right now. And fow now, I'd like to keep them private. It's unavoidable I know, but... Well I don't want to talk about it right now. My family's going through a hard time. All I can really say.

Welp, tata.
