   Erp...
Still no boyfriend.

Curse me and my shyness...

In other news:

Today in English I, I read the poem I'm going to submit. The class liked it... I think. Oo;

I might as well tell you how Spirit Week has been thus far. On Monday, I wore my cloud PJs (very peaceful... made me drowsy). Tuesday (otherwise known as Yesterday), I wore a tye-dye shirt and jeans (I was a werewolf/writer/poet). Finally, today (aka Wednesday), I and two of my friends wore our frog shirts. Meh mom bought them for us at the beach. Oo; And tomorrow I'm either going as Impmon (with socks for gloves!) or Bakura (minus M. Ring... didn't have time to make it...).

Also, our school has the grades competeing against each other. I'm on team silver (aka Freshman). Out of the ompetetion, our team is winning and my first period class is winning!

Maybe I should explain a bit. See, we get points for dressing up and for selling stuff. So far I've bought a bandana, dog tag, three blowpops, and 163 spirit links. Oo; Anywhoose, which ever class wins gets a icecream sundae party. ^^

And finally, Homecoming is this Friday. I must remember to buy a ticket. Oo;

   Holy Ra!
I...
am...
kind...
of...
dazed...
and...
happy...
right...
now...
...

See, I got this letter from my crush. I opened it and it was written in symbols that can be found in LotR: RotK. Well, I don't have the book and I didn't get to go to the libary, so I sat down and decoded it myself.

Surprisingly enough, it only took me about 30 minutes.

Anyways, after I translated it, and read it, I found myself in a temporary state of shock. I can't tell you exactly what was written (it is kinda personal, ya know) but I'll tell you this: Bandit may have a boyfriend by tomorrow! ^^! *does the chibi dance and skitters off*

Thursday- Dress Up As a Famous Movie Star/Cartoon Character/Real Life Superhero- At first, I wanted to go as Marik**, but the cotume would be to hard. Then, I decided I'd be Neko-sama***, but I changed my mind again. I'm going to be Bakura****.

   Goin Against 4Kids...
I have found great respect for an author at fanfiction.net. Pulled out alot of dubbing things that 4kids has done that has XXXXed us viewers off.

Qoutable Qoutes:
(yugi's deck. American Name-jap. Name; A. Attack-J. Attack)
19. Mystical Elf - Holy Elf
N/A-N/A
ASM: That word, there's that word again. Funny how Yugi's deck can be
neither from heaven or hell.

45. Valkrion, the Magnet Warrior - Magnet Warrior, Magnet Bakilio
N/A - Magnet Saber
ASM: Yeah big change here, don't know where they pulled out Valkrion,
sounds like something from transformers.

(bakura's deck)
16. The Portrait's Secret - Possessed Painting
N/A - N/A
Yet again we're sugarcoating the whole spiritual thing.

17. The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams - Demon Dream Ghost
N/A - N/A
Where in da hell did they come up with that one, maybe we add some more to
that name like The Gross Ghost of Fled Dreams that Feeds on the Unforgiving
Souls of the Pure or something like that. Otherwise just stick with the
first name, it's much better

21. The Dark Door - Dark Corridor
MAGIC CARD
I see not only is exposing kids to other cultures or views of thought
wrong, but so is trying to expand their vocabulary.

24. Sangan - Critter
N/A - N/A
Yep the whole let's pull a name out from nowhere is back, and for those of
you who think sangan is the spelling of critter in Japanese, your dead
wrong. Bakura clearly says "critter" in the Japanese version in English.

(Joey's deck)
26. Alligator Sword - Wyvern Warrior
N/A - N/A
ASM: Now we're back in business with this most annoying change. What's so
friggin hard to understand about a Wyvern. It's a mythological creature
and...oh guess I answered my own question.
EAA: Yes mythology is the tool of the devil..so is religion.

28. Panther Warrior - Panther Warrior
N/A - N/A
ASM: Gee, Jounouchi's deck would be good for learning about animals.
EAA: Maybe that's why they changed Wyvern to Alligator Sword.
ASM: Interesting theory.

46. Hayabusa Knight - Falcon Knight
N/A - N/A
ASM: 4kids what have you done, you've ruined that animal learning theme of
Jounouchi's deck and why...well we've been asking that question a lot right
now.

(Kaiba's deck)
8. Rabid Horseman - Minocentaur
N/A - N/A
ASM: Oh those 4kids, are they implying that if oxen and horses come
together they carry rabies, they are misinforming our youth.

15. Crush Card - Deck-Destruction Virus of Death
TRAP CARD
ASM: Such is the fate of a beautifully named card.

23. The Flute of Dragon Summoning - Dragon Calling Horn
MAGIC CARD
ASM: Flute??? A flute, that thing, oh poor misguided 4kids.

26. Vorse Raider - Blood Vors
N/A - N/A
EAA: Oh, there's something new!
ASM: Yes blood, we can't possibly acknowledge the existence of that, can
we?
EAA: It really "crushes" your spirits doesn't it?
ASM: ...


27. Bell of Destruction - Destruction Ring
TRAP CARD
ASM: Kay!
EAA: (singing to the melody of The Nation Anthem Tune) 4 Kids can you see?
By these evil puns! Oh so proudly we flamed your every stupid change? Whose
Occult & Religious words never stood a chance! O're the duels we watched
where so poorly chopped up!
And the Dragons "Flash Flare"! Slifer high in the air gave proof through
Yugioh that you are still here! O say does that sound like a monotone
dubbed voice! For your strive to be evil free, let Destruction Ring!

Well, this is Bandit, saying g'night!

   Shaman King the Anime
From what I've seen of SK on Fox Box, it looks pretty awesome. I mean, Yoh and Amidamaru's voices fit them perfectly and I love the whole idea of this. I also like the opening song, it rocks.

But, I do have problems.
1) They changed Ren's name to... *dun dun dun* LENNY!
2) They're making Ren/Lenny sound like he's British/English er something like that.
3) Manna is now Mortimer/Morty

I wonder if they're going to change Anna's name. She's going to be in next Saturday's episode. And I'm almost positive that, because of our American traditions, Anna isn't going to be Yoh's fiancee in the American version. Watch 'em make her his cousin or sister. Reminds me of the Lee/Sayoran and Mei-Ling (Card Captors Sakura) thing all over again.

But there was one really neat thing about today's episode. Yoh metioned a bar-be-que sandwhich from Porky's BBQ. Why is that cool? I live close to a Porky's BBQ! I wonder if the producers ever ate there... Hmmm...

   Hilarity, Pure Hilarity.
I recieved a forwarded e-mail from my step-dad today:

'It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news.
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment
community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection
and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. Doughboy
was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned
out
to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the
California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, Little Debbie,
and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours. Aunt
Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man
who
never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show
business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not
considered a very "smart" cookie, wasting much of his dough on
half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still as
a
crusty old man was considered a roll model for millions. Doughboy is
survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane
Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his
elderly
father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.'

   I've been thinking...
I was watching YGO earlier today and I began to wonder; 'Do the characters have massive migranes due to the overbearing weight of their hair?'

Take a look at Yugi-boy, he's extremely short and has hair that probably weighs at least half his weight. It defies all laws of gravity I tell you. But that's beside the point. You'd think that the crushing weight of all that hair would cause the mother of all migranes.

Then I started thinking this way for all animes/mangas. There's (normally) always at least one character with gravity-defying, head-crushing, humongo hair. And yet the never get headaches/migranes. Lucky them.

Why is she even disscussing this?, you ask.

Well, I've been having many a headache recently due to the length and sheer thickness of my hair. So, by next weekend, I'm having my hair cut. It's better than taking three doses of acetimenophin a day.

   Long Time, No Update
Sorry for the lack of updates. See, I've kinda been grounded for the past week. But now I'm back! Oo; Er, yeah.

Anywhoose, you might be wondering 'How is poor Bandit doing?' or maybe not. For all I know you could be pondering how many ferrets it would take to fill the universe, but I can't be certain of that either.

Now, where was I? Ah, yes, even if you weren't wondering how I've been, I'm going to tell you anyway!

I've been conspiring to take over the world. So far, my plan involves two hundred elephants, a can of tuna, an issue of Shonen Jump, and a spork.

Go me.

I also slipped on the stairs at school yesterday and now suffer a fairly large bruise right under my knee.

Other than that, life has been just dandy.
