hi everyone

Hey everyone, how are you? I hope everyone is good. Hmm I haven't posted here in 15 days, and well I haven't really been able to. Sorta. I also haven't been feeling much desire to post either. First off, I've been busy lately with school stuff and all. So I haven't been on otaku much. Second, I'm really not happy with Worlds and all that drama. -_- I was (key word- was) excited and happy about it and all, but to spare you time, I will keep my complaint short. I'm not too happy with how MyOtaku has been downgraded (esp with comment box, lack of avatar modification option here, and no PM link either) how its not linked to theOtaku anymore, and how people have been posting less either (well okay I'm one of them XD) but yeah things are just dropping down. and this site is turning into a very empty place.. I also probably be visiting any Worlds (unless they are for putting up works of art, etc: non blogging) because its too hard to visit both places and because I'm not interested in checking World blogs...I find it sad that some people have abandonded MyOtaku and moved on to theOtaku completely. I also am not happy with the fan words requirement of only top 1% of works get submitted. Okay so that's the end of my rant. I'm currently not feeling very motivated to (due to alienation from this place) post on Passive Dissent but if you are concerned about this Otaku stuff too, and want to post how you feel (and fight for MyOtaku), go to Passive Dissent. Its on Worlds..just search it on theotaku.com :) That's one of the few Worlds I'll be checking..may post, there but not sure. Yeah I could have typed a bunch more, but I don't feel like it, I'm sure you guys have heard a lot of stuff about this so that's why I kept it shorter than what I actually could write. Let me just say tho that I find it sad that some of my friends have left (MyO, etc).. Anyways, let's move onto other topics, okay? Megumi- Yes :P Its better to :P Me- So yeah ^^ *messes with Megumi's hair* :D *lays my hands on her shoulders* :) Anyway =D during free time, I've been on YouTube. Just mainly watching some funny vids on there :) hehe, they're good to watch, and I'll put a couple at the end of the post. Anyway :D I've also been watching Kenshin episodes, yeah I know that show ended a long time ago (few years in US) but there are some eppys I never got along to watching, so I have been watching some more on YouTube. :) Anybody here seen the Death Note Live Action movie? I saw a small clip from there before and it looked interesting and I want to see what y'all think of it? So if you have seen it, tell me what you think please, just don't give it away xD :P Megumi- :P I dislike it when people give away movie endings. But then, you do that Alex :P Me- No I don't :P Megumi- Yeah i know :P I was joking :P =P *sticks tongue out more* Me- haha :P *pushes her gently and pokes her* :) Now onto politics lol, Because of how bitter the contest has been and because I haven't been paying that much attention (well I still do pay attention, just not as much as I USED to- reading articles and so many headlines, news etc was what I used to do before I got busier- but yeah I still pay attention), I will simply just say who I support. I support Barack Obama (now if you support someone else please don't attack me) and I hope he will win it all. I know he still has a bitter race against Hillary tho so I won't say any predictions (tho I already did in the last post xD). I won't be voting for John McCain (regardless of who wins in the Dem primaries). However, i respect Senator McCain and his bipartisanship (for those of you who don't know, he did work with both parties on certain issues) and his military service (he was a POW in Vietnam). There are some issues I disagree with him on though, and they are ones I support Obama more on. So yeah, I've broken my "Otaku" silence on who I'm supporting (I kind of already told a few people by comment but never announced on Otaku lol) :P. I did look at the major Democratic and Republican candidates to decide who to support too. I even looked at an independent (Michael Bloomberg, even tho he has no chance and decided not to run) before choosing who to support. :) The Funnies Megumi- That's good :) And oh, a new section, I'm eager to see it :) :3 Well I think its time to just put some more funny videos up! :) :3 LOL :P Megumi- :P silly When I'll be back I don't know. I think I'm off on another hiatus..so I'll see ya! Take care and bye..hope to post again sometime soon..I don't know when tho..sorry. Bye! ^^;; -Alex- ~Megumi~ I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble. But, her personality differs from one. She can be playful and silly, yet also serious. Her skill is tremendous and the woman is highly respected. She is smart and prefers to use hand to hand combat- kidou. Her skills make her strong and tough enough to take on a Captain in battle.

hey hey

Hey everyone, got new fanart, please check it out :) I really appreciate it if you did :) Click on the thumbnails to go comment :) hehe Thanks! So I'm back..after a 2 1/2 week hiatus. lol I've been doing a lot I guess (well a lot of reading and other things) the last couple of weeks. And I'm just coming in to show that I'm still alive XD, And I may not get to many sites, but yeah came here to post an update on me life and to just say hi because i haven't been here in a while lol Soooo I got a Worlds account. I don't like how you can't access peoples Worlds from MyO..meaning I have to go to theOtaku just to access people blogging from Worlds. And its going to be hard for me to keep track of who switches to Worlds blog..so please do me a favor.. If you are going to blog from Worlds, please tell me. Also please tell me the URL of your worlds..because it'll be hard for me (and I will probably forget) to reach a person's World page if I forget they're posting from there. :P I got a Worlds account too..:P its for posting fics..actually I got two of them..here they are- Alex's Fics (World) Megumi Loves Me World. lol Its another fic site As you can see..(if you visit) the sites have fics I have already posted before. I might use these sites as "catch up" sites for fics. Like if you haven't read my fics or if your'e behind you can read my fics from there. But I won't really do any blogging from Worlds. ^^; hehe. Election News Hillary Clinton won two states yesterday..Texas and Ohio Megumi- HI ALEX!! *hugs* hehe :D how are you? Me- I'm good Just in the middle of posting about elections lol you're interrupting a bit but that's okay xD needed that excitement :P Megumi- haha :P *laughs* *spins me and splashes red paint on me* :P Now you're like Elmo :P Me- haha *gets it off* Anyway :P Yeah..Hillary has won two states (well three, but two of them were big ones- Texas and Ohio). Big in that they were major states. Right now..psychologcially she has gained momentum due to winning two states (after losing 11 straight primary contests). However, delegate-wise (Obama and Clinton have to get enough delegates in order to be nominated as The Democrat who will go against the Republicans in the Presidential election in November), she hasn't made much ground. Barack Obama still has a significant lead over her (yeah its only 100 delegates, but it will be very hard for clinton to overcome it--I think Clinton and Obama will split up so many delegates in the coming months that the lead will not be closed completely, just somewhat). It is doubtful that Clinton will close the gap. However, what is getting more certain is that the Democratic party could be in for a split. Signs have shown that Clinton and Obama will become much dirtier (Obama plans to attack more and Clinton, well she already has shown how sneaky she can be and how cunning she is) and attack harder. The last major state is Pennyslvania. Obama and Clinton will fight hard (election in Penn is supposed to be in April) and will (in my view and prediction) make it a very close race. All this is going to cause is just a major split..a possible one. John McCain (the Republican frontrunner) is going to have it easy the next few months. He has secured his party's nomination. All he needs to do now is take it easier, throw a few jabs every now and then at the Democrats, see how things go, and not do anything stupid (that shouldn't be too hard). Huckabee and Paul had no chance against him. Well that's the end of the analysis. And yes I know I haven't mentioned who I support. At least not on posts. If you want to know, ask. Well this post is getting long so i'll end with a few remarks. Lately I've been obsessed with "old" stuff. Old shows mainly. Namely- MacGyver (for some reason I like its theme song..), Knight Rider, American Gladiators (glad they remade it too lol), and Animaniacs! xD I love that last one a lot! :) hehe been watching a lot of youtube clips..including one of a certain naruto character as MacGyver..love the video lol here it is- short clips..:) And this is the original MacGyver- Well this is the end of the post :) and I'll ask a question for all of you: (2nd question since first was about if you have a worlds account and what the URL was) What world events do you remember from when you were younger? Me (just a sample)- Chicago Bulls winning (okay that's not a world event but it came up in my head xD!!) 1996 election, 1992 Presidential Election, Bombing of Serbia, Y2K, Rwandan Genocide, war in Zaire (what is now known as DRC) And I wont' be on for aw hile again..so see ya later guys hope to talk to you guys again soon. bye ^^ I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

:) Silly

Hello everyone how are you? =P Well I have new fanart up. Please check it out. : ) Chibi Megumi Hosted By theOtaku.com. Jessenia- Chibi Style Hosted By theOtaku.com. Thanks =D and yes they are some of my first chibi drawings ^_^ hehe hmmm… mmm…. I’m hungry xD lol okey I admit that was random. Well I am not sure what to say =P. As usual I’ve been a mixture of busy and a bit procrastinating lately. However, I’ve tried to keep up with Version Vibrant proposals. And I’m feeling better about it now. So we’ll be able to keep our MyOtakus. And visit people who switch to Vibrant. So yeah, actually not that much will change. The only thing is you have to log in from both myotaku.com and theotaku.com to comment on MyOtaku. I know, confusing ^^; It makes more sense on Adam’s site (myotaku.com/users/adam). And I know many people are concerned about not being able to submit art. And I’m sure that you guys have noticed that the left side of the main page (backroom) no longer has as many links, such as ones to submit fanart and wallpapers. The way you can do so is by going to theotaku.com and head to the appropriate art section and you should be able to submit from there ^_^ From what I heard, you do NOT need to get a blog at Version Vibrant if you don’t want. Its optional. I’m not certain if you could keep the same name though (i have the same worry as you about that, Lindsey). Like I don’t want someone else having a version vibrant (which is going to be call Worlds) id called destinyssweetman. Then everybody will be confusing that person for me, @_@. So I’m hoping Adam doesn’t allow people to register usernames that are already taken by MyOtaku users. Otherwise, we’ll have a LOT of confusion. @_@. Well not much going on in me life. I have heard that the Writer’s Strike is over. Now that it is, perhaps my site can have more “normal” “non-excited” posts. Kaoru- You never had normal, non-excited posts. Nearly all your posts are zany, political, crazy, or hyper somehow. Since when did you hire writers- Me- Since 1863. Kaoru-…You weren’t alive then. Me- I wasn’t? :P Anyway, no no I don’t hire writers and no I don’t write for TV shows :P ah its fun poking fun at different things. Anyways, I’m happy the strike is over. Now I can get to watch new episodes of shows I like…sans the Unit (who knows when that’s coming back) :P. Oh well, more House and CSI NY in April/May Megumi- Hi :P *Big hugs** =) Talking about the writer’s strike again, sweetheart? =P And what about Lost? :P Me- Hi Megumi!! =P Lost..uhhh :P I’m not a big fan of that show. More of Criminal Minds tho. Enough TV talk now :P. =) Megumi- =D So what have you been doing lately? Actually I know the answer to that but wanted to extend your post. =} Me- hehe, Nothing really just same ‘ol same ‘ol. I started drawing again lately, as my fanart submissions have shown. Haven’t had much time or desire to write lately ^__^;, even though the ideas are in my head. I’ll make time..somehow…between the graduate school applications/essays, reading, drawing, yeah I’ll make time. xD Megumi- =P Take it easy. Besides, haven’t you put my character in a lot of stories? Isn’t it time Megu Megu takes a break? =P Me- I guess lol. I’m also trying to think of ways to develop characters I haven’t used that much. Including- Tamura Sakura, for those who don’t know, she’s a tough Japanese soldier who can be harsh and gets aggressive, but is nice inside. And Mei, a Chinese girl and soldier who’s friends with Tamura. I’ll write when I have the time and more ideas. ^_^ Well this post is getting long enough. I may not be on otaku for a while though. Since I’m busy..so yeah another “break” ^__^;;; Sorry. I’ll leave you guys with two funny videos :P You don’t have to watch them lol but I felt like ending funny :P And random :P So here goes :P Pinky and the Brain, House together: And one about..a sneaky squirrel :P Megumi- :P That squirrel is tricky Me- yesh :P Megumi- And that was a Super Bowl commercial, no? :P **eats more apples, and oranges** mmmm :P Bye bye -Alex- ~Megumi~~~ I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

I was going to post yesterday but was too busy ^^; so here we go- Hello everyone :P **gets taken off-stage** :P (WG I) Weird guy 1- Nuuuuuuu this post must be taken over now! **comes in** (WG 2) Weird guy 2- Yes. We must take this post over and be loving how TV is now without its regular shows having new episodes. WG 1- Yes and to continue bad television! As in reality TV forever! “My dad is better than your dad!” Etc etc. Kerry/Gore ’08!! WG 2- ….John Kerry ran in ’04, not ’08!- Megumi- **Comes in** What the heck is going on? Who are you guys and what are you doing on my boyfriend’s computer? o_O WG 1- Oh nothing. Just plotting to uhhh I dunno…have more reality TV! You know that writer’s strike has killed so many programs and brought on so many reality ones…and created more crazy shows! Megumi-…So you’re doing your crazy plot on my sweetie’s computer? WG 2- Yes!! It’s the Reality TV revolution! Just like the Ron Paul Revolution! Just different! Megumi- Riiight….well you two need to get out. WG 1- Why? We’ve done nothing wrong…except hack…o_O <_< Megumi- There you go. YOu’ve been hacking :P Now GO! **picks them up and carries them, is about to drop them off** Both- **Run off** **Jumped and then ran** she’s scary!! Megumi- Ugh…Oh hello :P You must be wondering where Alex is. I’ll bring him back in just a second =D In the meantime..he made new fanart =D Please go check it out =D Tamura Hosted By theOtaku.com. **Megumi snaps fingers and brings me back** Me- Whew so what happened? Megumi- Weird guys came..I took care of them :P Anyways on with the post :P Me- Right : ) Well there are several topics and I’ll go through them quickly. Super Bowl 42 Yup I haven’t been here since last Friday so I’ll mention this quickly =P. I watched Super Bowl 42 and enjoyed it. =) On Saturday (day before Super Bowl), I switched sides on who to cheer for after finding out the Patriots spied on the St. Louis Rams in 2002. I liked that Rams team a lot…Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk. Ah that was the team..and they had those two and Torry Holt…anyway, yeah that caused me to change sides and well I’m pleased with the results =). Exciting game..well more like exciting 4th quarter =D (I actually missed the first half but recorded and watched it on Mon and Tues :P, reason why I missed it was b/c my Church had Mass in the afternoon). Loved it. and I watched House right after and that was good too =) Super Tuesday Super Tuesday (2/5) and the days following it have been interesting. Hillary Clinton is ahead, but Barack Obama won more delegates and states than she did on Tuesday. The race between him and Clinton is extremely close and too hard to call. As for the Republicans, its becoming clearer and clearer about who will become the Republican frontrunner. John McCain raced ahead on Super Tuesday. And with Mitt Romney dropping out, he should be in the clear to win the Republican nomination. His only major rival left, Mike Huckabee (sorry Ron Paul supporters, I don’t think he is a major rival), performed well on Tuesday, but likely won’t win the nomination/get enough delegates. Huckabee…that’s a nice last name. lol : ) I don’t think the Democratic race will be settled until at LEAST March, or maybe not until April. Tho we could be pulled in for a tie/deadlock close race even after April…causing this bitter campaign season for the Dems to last until June…@_@ Please let it soon lol….@_@ its interesting to follow but it becomes annoying after a while xD (that and it just causes more division) Interesting questions to ponder over the election season, and well you don’t have to answer them, they’re just random ones so yeah…just random ones about the election that I came out with. 1. What will Obama’s strategy be as momentum is swinging to his side? 2. Will Hillary hold on to her strengths in big states (esp on March 4)? What will her strategy be in February, a month that has different primaries that favor Obama? 3. Will John McCain be able to unite different conservatives in the Republican Party? 4. In the general election, will the Democrats be too divided? Or will the Republicans be too divided as well, seeing as how conservatives are split on McCain? Super uhh… I mean XD Happy Chinese New Year Happy Chinese New Year =D It started on Feb. 7, 2008 (according to the solar calendar). It’s the year of the Rat (or as Some Guy put it, the Year of Yuki Sohma lol). I know that many of you do not celebrate it, but I wish you all a great year filled with success, joy and prosperity ^___^. Megumi- ^___^ that was nice of you to say =) Anything else, Alex? =) Me- Not really. Megumi- Okey well this post is over..and it looks like Christina arrested those two weird guys for hacking =P Bye everyone =D **waves** Me- Byes : ) :] -Alex & Megumi : ) sorry if I dont get to all your sites, im busy..still ^^;; I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

Stop the Ron Paul Revolution, XD Answer from Obama :P

Hello everyone! How are you :P im back again lol :P I think I’ll be posting like every Friday or something. Works better for me that way. Hope it works for you. Hope everyone is feeling silly :P And I have put up a new theme. ^__^ I hope you like it. Its to honor the troops, esp those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. But its also to honor those who have served before, regardless of which branch of the US Military they were part of. I think some of you know troops who are serving now. I love our troops ^__^ And I love the USA ^__^ Megumi- ^__^ HI ALEX ^___^ Me- Hello Megumi! =D Megumi- Spins me around*** So how are you? :P Me- Dizzy @__@ Megumi- **Spins me more** And? Me- More dizzy @_____@ XD I’m good =D hehe **passes out** **wakes up after getting picked up by Megumi and put back on ground** Well hmm there isn’t much new stuff to talk about. It’s the same ol’ stuff for me lately. lol. I’m finishing up my 4th graduate school application (3 down so far). And I have about two to go..their deadlines are like in April and May…and I might apply to another just to increase my chances. So that’d make like 6-7 right there. (Yeah Lindsey lol I’ve been doing them forever hehe) Exhausting lol. But I’m doing well. I’m handling it okay : ) And getting less distracted..to an extent lol. Sometimes the work just makes me procrastinate..but I’m trying not to ^^; I haven’t been able to draw lately tho ^^; Megumi- Draw me! XD Nah you don’t need to =P You got like 5 drawings up of me on otaku already XD And like 4 of Jessenia and 3 of Christina. Alex…TT I’m jealous **kidding** XD Me- No no I only love you! =D So no worries : ) Smile…Smile…Megumi…**megumi gives angry look** nuuuuu ***Megumi smiles and tricked me** Darn it :P She fooled me…anyway XD I’ve been writing a bit. My new story, which I may not post on otaku because it looks like its going to be a long one (and I don’t have that much time on otaku), has Christina in it. and Marissa. And Christina’s friend Josh. Josh and Christina are police officers; the former is kinda calm while the latter is very silly. But they both can get quite silly, here are some lines from the story- “Do you ever stop cracking jokes on the job?” Josh asked. “Never. It makes dull days pass by fast,” Christina beamed. “Then you’re one of the happiest people I know,” he shook his head playfully and stared out the window, not seeing much activity at all. “I rather be happy than angry. Anger makes me turn redder than Elmo.” Yeah that’s all I’ll put for now. I need to write another story with Megumi XD (maybe one where she reads off the news a weird news story (Thanks LS for the idea). :P Tho right now I got write’rs block with the Christina story…nyah..^^; Politics Today’s politics section is actually more silly than critical. On Monday, I had a weird experience (this is the political one lol). I was just relaxing and I get this phone call…and my caller id says its from “000-000-0000” I’m not kidding, that was the number on caller ID o_O. So I answer it just b/c I’m curious and yeah I just pick it up. And it turns out to be a staff member from Barack Obama’s campaign XD XD. They were just calling to persuade me to vote for Senator Obama. I just wonder why their number was 000-000-0000. XD I doubt that’s their real number, And I won’t try dialing it XD, but its just weird :P I’d like to have a number with all 0s XD. But I bet they just had it that way to block people from knowing the real number, so they can’t call back and harass the Obama campaign. lol. Anyway This is reminding me of James Bond…all those 0s…XD Megumi are you as stealthy as James Bond? XD Megumi- Sometimes :P I don’t always need to be but sometimes. *disappears** *comes up behind me when I’m not looking** ***pokes me in well on the hips** Me- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! XD Silly Megumi. Megumi for President :P XD Megumi- I wasn’t born in the USA though :P and I rather stay as a soldier and consultant :P Sorry :P Megumi- **eats 5 apples and oranges** XD Me- lol Anyway I’ll finish this post up since its quite long. Just one question for you guys…lately I’ve been seeing remakes of old shows. Eg. American Gladiators and Knight Rider, both of which I’ve watched as a kid. Lol. So here’s my question for you: What shows do you remember from your younger years? Like do you remember any shows (including anime and American cartoons) from when you were growing up? My answer: I remember seeing (or at least hearing about) these shows: Cosby Show, Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Full House (not the Korean Drama btw XD), Step by Step, Mad About You, Friends, Speed Racer, Loony Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Transformers animated, American Gladiators, Seinfeld. And yes…Knight Rider XD Cya! XP Megumi- Bye :P See you later from ‘Old’ Alex XD -Alex- Megumi I’m not that old! XD ~Megumi~ I’m younger than Alex :P (she’s 20 and I’m 22 :P) I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble. But, her personality differs from one. She can be playful and silly, yet also serious. Her skill is tremendous and the woman is highly respected. She is smart and prefers to use hand to hand combat- kidou. Her skills make her strong and tough enough to take on a Captain in battle.

Oh yeah :D iMegumi :D hehe please go and comment on the fanart, please click links and go comment, thanks :D So how's everyone been? Good? Sad? Happy? I hope its the first and third lol. ^__^ Hope everyone is well. ^^ I'm doing well right now ^__^ Actually I'm better than how I was before, a couple of weeks ago. ^__^ My stress is going away. some is still here, but its going away ^__^ So that's good! ^__^ yeppers yeppers. Tho i'm still in the mess of grad school stuff again ^__^' (not too many sweatdrops this time :P) Darn personal statements lol XP They're annoying..especially the single space ones..o_O Megumi- You're doing fine tho ^__^ Just gotta keep working at it **eats apple** Me- ^__^ you're being silly :P that's the fourth apple today :) hehe and well yeah I've been distracted lately so that sucks..^^; I need to be more focused on work ^^; the work at hand (grad school apps, essays etc). And i've been reading the Bible lately along with some books too ^__^ A lot to do tho. Oh well I'll be fine ^^ Megumi- Yes you will be :P *messes with my hair* :D Now where'd you put my iPod? Me- Nowhere :P *silly face* Yeah..and lately I've had writer's and drawer's block..-_- it sucks!! lol << Megumi- I see it, my iPod, its under all your books! Thankfully its not damaged..darn you Alex :P *snatches it and tackles me* :P its a good thing those were all small books ^^' Me- Yes lol now oof **laughs** you're crushing me :P Anyway, yeah I got writer's and drawer's block. having trouble coming up with ideas to write on. and some of my drawings are getting worse. So that's annoying. But I'll keep working and see how things go. Megumi- Yes keep going you'll be okay :) *eats more* :D *listens to music* Me- Dang, how much can you eat? :P In other news, I may actually have one idea lol Sesshomaru MD. Its going to be based off House MD XD and Hinata, Kakashi, and Yusuke will be the other doctors :P Megumi- You're really silly :P Any other news? :P Me- Just mainly Presidential election news. I'm getting tired of the bickering between Clinton (they call her Billary XD) and Obama. Its actually alienating me. As if this Presidential Campaign isn't already alientating me ^^;. Well I actually made up my mind who I want to vote for in the primary and who I may want to vote for should the one I support not win. Blah. But yeah, regardless, I think what America, without regard to whether it is a democrat or Republican, America needs a moderate (if not, at least one who can talk with both sides) who can make positive effect on the economy, stablize Iraq, keep this country safe, help Afghanistan be stable, stop the genocide in Darfur, and a whole lot of stuff I haven't mentioned. And regardless of who wins, Republican or Democrat, they're going to have a huge mess in front of them, and they'll probably be blamed for not correcting or changing stuff fast enough. Blah. Sorry lol other than that Im pretty well. And oh I know who should win the election, it should be this animal- I vote for that animal for President! j/p funny prairie dog XD Lastly I'd like to finish up with comments on the Super Bowl coming up in like two and 1/3 weeks. GO PATRIOTS :P I reallllly dislike the Giants right now. They beat my team, the Cowboys and I cant stand it ^^; I reallllllly dislike the Patriots too, but the Giants beat my team in the playoffs so I hope they Lose. :P The team I dislike the most tho is the Oakland Raiders..Im glad they arent in the Super Bowl or Playoffs...^^ hehe - why the Cowboys lost XD -Alex- ~Megumi~ GO COWBOYS..hehe..GO PATRIOTS :P I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

Election 2008- The Audacity of Confusion :P

Misuzu Smiling: (air) Hosted By theOtaku.com. That's my 'new' drawing :) of Misuzu :) hope you can comment-vote on it :) Thanks! Hey everyone :) I know I havent been here for a while ^^; hehe how is everyone? I haven't been here due to busyness and well emotional stress I guess. eh that wasn't the right way to put it. I've just been stressed a lot lately. Applying to more grad schools so that's a pain ^^;, pressure from that, not getting phone calls returned (from employer. I know Elves I've had like worst luck lol), worries about the future, and my grandma's still not doing too well. Add that along with other stressers such as low confidence and lots of anxiety and you get the situation im in. meh. Gao. So I'm not sure when I'll post again but I'll be busy. So I hope maybe sometime this month ^^; maybe i'll just post once a week. I dunno. its still undecided ^^; Depends on how things go. ^__^; Gotta stop them sweatdrops lol. So yeah not much has been happening in my life other than graduate school applications. which I need to stop getting distracted from. >> Applications and essay. hmm let's see what else. Oh ya I went to a cousin's wedding (distant cousin) on Saturday. Didn't get back till very late at night (like 11:40 PM) ^^;. yeah it was far away lol saw family that i haven't seen before XD and well I didn't do much. I was bored most of the time ^^;;;; XD though there was the reception later on and I did do some dancing XD well that's just me I'm silly :P Megumi- Yes you are :P *comes in* Me- MEGUMI! *leaps* :P hehe Megumi- *smiles* *hugs* lol :)and you dance silly :P Me- Yes Megumi I do :) *plays with her hair* :D [in]decision 2008 well its that time again lol election season lol Megumi- *laughs* that was a transition :P Me- hehe :P (this is going to be a random section of random political thoughts pertaining to the election so you can skip if you want :P) Me- i've been paying attention to the Presidential election things/primaries. Been checking news on it often. it seems more interesting than it was in 2004. I haven't made up my mind on who to vote for yet. ^^; I'm keeping my mind open and I dunno, I like how close it is in the elections this year. Def much more competitive election this time. And no clear picture of who's coming out of each party. Too hard to predict who will come out and no predictions can be made..except.. DENNIS KUCINICH WILL WIN! j/k lol I doubt it XD Man back in 2004, I already was certain who I was going to vote for (and no it wasn't John Kerry, nor was it George Bush lol) well back in like Feb and Jan 2004 I was certain who I was going to support (and no it wasn't kucinich lol or anyone from the far left or far right lol). now this year im still undecided. This year needs a Dean Scream XD Either that or I'm voting for Mickey Mouse :P j/k Daffy Duck for president j/k lol :) lol anyway let's see anything else to talk about..i'll just finish with saying that I watched the most recent episode of Criminal Minds :) I like that show :) here's an old pic of the cast (two of them arent there anymore..but hey im lazy..XD) And I liked the last episode too ^__^ tis good :) Wow this post is getting random as usual :P So I'll just finish with a poem, written on the fly. Bullets are flying overhead, I could hear the gunshots around, But I won't forget you as I go into battle. I'm going to be brave, And fight for my country, And for you As I'm about to go, To go fight for freedom, to fight against oppressors, Here I go, I'll fight bravely, And I'll never forget you. the idea just popped into my head and I just kept writing ^^ well hope you liked it. take care. bye. -Alex :) + Megumi I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

^__^ news

Hello everyone! :D New Fanart! Megumi And I Hosted By theOtaku.com. Yep that picture is of megumi and I!!!! :D hehe yeah well I hope you like it lol, hope you can go to it (click it) and comment on it =D hehe and I made myself look a little young in the picture ^^; oh well lol. ^^; And here is a fanart about child soldiers in Africa: Child Soldier Hosted By theOtaku.com. I made this fanart b/c im quite passionate about the issue. In Uganda, thousands of kids have been kidnapped and forced to join a rebel army. They are forced to kill people, innocent people. And if they don’t they are killed themselves. Sadly, this problem is not only in Uganda. Its also in Sudan (notably in the Darfur region and South Sudan), Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia. And in other places outside of Africa too. There isn’t much awareness on the issue either. Meh. I made a poem about it. its at the end of my post. Well I got a new theme up, I hope you like it! :] it covers and brings awareness to, the crisis in Pakistan, massacre in Darfur Sudan, and child soldiers/civil war in Uganda (which has forced children to flee their homes as theme shows). I know, not the most happy of themes but they’re all events/issues im concerned about. Well not much is going on in my life right now. I know I said I wouldn’t post again this week but I felt like it lol b/c for some reason Im realllly getting into posting mood lately. lol. and yeah well not much happened today. And oh yeah Im posting b/c of the fanart and new theme :D Today I went to get haircut, and later ate lunch. And then worked on my theme and on this post XD yeah not a lot is going on. But I did call the place I Interviewed for on Dec. 20th, they said they’d contact me last week but never did. Lol. They said they may be a bit late in contacting me (they said this on 20th), and the Holidays was around the corner, so I decided to give them a few days. But they never called back so I called them today. And no one picked up -_-; I left a message. Other than that, I also called one of my supervisiors (past supervisor) about a recommendation letter =) she said she’d send it in =) so im happy =) and things are well =) And oh yeah I emailed another supervisor about recommendation letter as well (since I need several) they are for grad school (recommendation letters). Graduate school stuff is so annoying :P haha oh well applying to undergraduate programs (undergraduate is when you’re going for bachelor’s degree, graduate is when you’re going for master’s or doctor degree. Sorry if I sound annoying its just people ask me difference between them before) was a bit easier…well a little less complicated lol That’s it for now :D just I have to go to a cousin’s wedding on Saturday. Not looking forward to it too much. Cuz its far away and I’ll be getting back late..^^;;; Megumi- Awww sweetie :P well you’ll always have me with you! Me- :D that makes things better :D Megumi- :D hehe bye everyone :D **just popped in from eating candy** :D **glad** Me- bye :D -- and here’s the poem about child soldiers if you’re interested in reading. It’s a bit emotional so you can skip if ya want. I talked with a kid named Joseph, He lived in Uganda, He was only 19, Yet he saw the worst, He saw terror and darkness. He was a soldier, ‘Enlisted’ at the young age of 9, Was involved in destruction, Scarred by civil war. ‘Cause he was kidnapped at age 9, Captured from his village then, Forced into the rebel army, Forced to fight for the Lord’s Resistance Army, Pushed beyond his will to join the war. He had to fight or be killed, And he was just a kid, Yet fired his assault rifle, Shooting his AK-47, Witnessing death and blood with such young eyes. He and thousands of other kids had to do this, Fighting for years, Fighting for dirtbags who didn’t care, but only wanted to use them, As thousands of innocent people were killed in the process. Now Joseph’s escaped, But he’s scarred, Filled with nightmares everynight. Its time to stop this senselessness, Time to stop children being used as soldiers, It happens in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, and Somalia, It happens elsewhere as well, Let’s put an end to it, And help children, like Joseph, live a happy life. Byes, Alex ~Megumi~ I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.

post first post after New Year :D

Hello everyone :P Wow I’ve posted 4 days in a row XD! :P XD **trumpet sounds** :P j/p haha yeah I haven’t posted consecutively for that long in a while..:P *scratches head ** not since summer XD anyway :P yeah early summer, anyway, how’s everyone doing? : ) How’s everyone’s New Year going? Good? So-so? Lousy? Bad? Silly? Crazy? Insane? XD Megumi- I think that’s enough XD and oh yeah Alex wont be posting tomorrow, lol he’ll take a rest till probably next week, depending if he gets the job or not **smiles** Me- **smiles** yeah I’ll see Megumi- mmhmm =D thanks for the New Years wishes, guys :D for Alex and me =D : ) Me- ^__^ hmm silly times =D Megumi- si =) Me- lol but first serious matters. I’m kinda concerned about this version vibrant stuff on otaku. In case you haven’t heard, Version Vibrant is supposed to be the new version of otaku. There’s supposed to be awesome features, like the ability to block certain people and nice looks for the main otaku page, and email notification But thing im worried about is, customizations won’t carry over. The customizations that people have done with their sites, such as CSS and HTML wont carry over to the new version and im kinda upset about that. Not only am I not going to be allowed to move my stuff over, my site may become a dead hub -_-. Pretty much sites that don’t move over to Version Vibrant are no longer going to be linked to the otaku system…bah. Im still unclear if people can still visit sites that no longer get linked to the otaku system..bah…and im not sure who’s going to move to new otaku system. Im leaning towards moving onto the new version of otaku, and will probably move to the new version. But I dunno who else is moving. So question: Who is going to move to the new Otaku system (version vibrant)? And who’s going to stay? Let me know please. That way I can stay in touch ^^ with y’all :D and oh yeah..if I do move over to Version Vibrant, I may be lazy…im too lazy to learn new code (they wont allow HTML in posts) and too lazy to recode everything…so I may have a plain site XD in the beginning Well I don’t have much else to talk about really XD. I didn’t really do much on New Years :P Just relaxed a bit. And well the day before I submitted one application online =) (Grad school). On New Years Day I finished another application. YAY! =D So yup that’s two down and I got them done just right in time. They’re due on the 10th and 15th, respectively. =P YAY for getting them done early :P And yup just pretty much relaxed rest of day =P and ate dinner with family Megumi- =D **puts on silly hat** hehe :D yup sounds like you’re having a good time =) and being happy. : ) Me- Yes I am sweet Megumi, I am =D and yes I am just having fun with Megumi now as you can see =) Megumi- ^_____^ Hai ^__^ So Alex, como estas tu dia? Que pasa? Me- Day was good overall :D and as for what’s up, not much lol besides talking to you I’ve also got some drawing ideas =D Might as well mention them now =D Drawing ideas 1. Megumi and I (I’ve been planning to do this but other ideas get in the way hehe) 2. A plushie =) 3. Stella and Mac from CSI: NY 4. Randomness =P 5. Misuzu Well I’ll probably start on Megumi and I soon hehe =P as for the others, I d unno it may take a while =P I’ve had “drawer’s block” lately…trouble with drawing lol and I may submit the drawings I dunno =P I dunno ^^; Megumi- ^///^ well I want to see them when you make them =) Please :D **happy look** :D Me- Sure Megumi :D ^///^ ;-D well I’ll just end with pictures since I don’t have anything else to say :D High and Mighty Color (Rock band I’ve listened a few songs from them) Another picture of Laura Pausini :D Italian singer Byes! -Alex- ~Megumi~ I LOVE MEGUMI <3 <3 |M|E|G|U|M|I| My Anti-Drug -- Member- MyOtaku's Soul Society Yoruichi Shihouin Former Commander of the speical forces, Yoruichi was born as a noble.
