Monday

I miscounted my Intro. I did it again and found over 4000. I think I found a way to go past the limit, but I'll just keep it as it is. Ah school, the source of all my problems. It's Senior Week, which is basically a week in which we seniors get to goof off. I find this good because I'm really tired of going to class. I went to a study session in Bio that was three hours long. It was at this skate park/hangout place. I stayed awake during the whole thing. Maybe it was the milk shake I bought there, but it's rare for me to stay awake for something in school. I think some people think something is wrong with me, as if I have some condition in which I fall asleep all the time (I know the name, but I can't spell it. It starts with an n). My reason, well, has a couple of parts. Firstly, the school starts too freaken early. 7:15 AM is too early, and I get up at 5:30 AM. I only go to sleep around 1:00 AM, so it's not a lot of sleep. Second reason? Well, ever since my dad took me out of Tae Kwan Do, my energy and physical condidion has been worsening. I know I should work out, but I often just can't find the motivation. Sometimes I just stare at the tv even if there's nothing good on. I want the motivation, but I just can't find it. Occasionally, I do some stuff and try to start a routine, but it often falls apart. It sucks. I know it's my fault, but it still sucks. Well, I guess that's it for this morning. Got to finish getting ready for school. See you Later.

Limit Change

I was visiting that suggestion thread at the otakuboards, and Adam has said that he has increased the intro limit to 1500. Including spaces, mine has 1474. Not including spaces, it's 1242. I guess I fit the limit. Could someone tell me if he is including spaces as characters? EDIT: My anime is... What Anime is Right for You? this quiz was made by http://www.seraphlight.net Who didn't see that coming?

To Those Who Have Edited Their Intro...

Do the changes that Adam made take effect only after you've edited the intro? Are blogs not allowed at all? I don't want to lose my blogs, nor do I want to not be able to edit my intro. Don't forget to comment on this and previous posts.

Saturday

Many people commented on my previous post on my view on the Rurouni Kenshin OVA Reflections. Personally, as a rule of thumb, I prefer to trust the mang and the anime based directly off of it. Well, it's Saturday. I have less than a month before I graduate. I'm actally scared out of my socks. Sure I rant and complain about my life, but I don't feel ready to go out into the real world. My dad and stepmom say that they had jobs and did all this stuff at my age. Well, different people mature at different rates. Besides, they never went to college. College, I might be able to handle. It's school, which I've been good at. It's the parts outside of college. Getting a job, for instance. I don't want to end up doing something I don't enjoy, and I feel like that's going to do. I say I want to write comics, but that's because that's the closest thing to what I really want to do, which is to live the comics. As for writing comics, there's more to it that just a story. You have to worry about panel placement and not too put too much or too little in certain spots so that there's room for speech bubbles and other panels. I've never even tried to do that. I'm really not sure if I could do that. Also, another reason I'm scared is because I have that valedictorian speech to give. I need to write it first. I'm almost not as worried as saying it as I am about what I'm going to say, which is the reverse way I felt when I found out about it. I want my speech to be memorial and meaningful. I want it to have an impact. I just need to figure out how to do that. You are a noble warrior. You belive there is no true evil, and that everyone can turn onto the good side. You spare your enemies when they admit defeat. You fight with a passion. You save those in need, and put their saftey first. You use a long sword, and a shield. What type of Swordsman are you? brought to you by Quizilla anime_girl67 got a fencer, and I wanted that since the description was ok and the pic was cool. Still, everytime I tried using every possible choice that would fit me, I got the nobel warrior. It's good, but I wouldn't use a long sword and a shield. Well, a katana is long, but I would just use a reverse blada, a sakabatou. Now that's my weapon. Ok, technically Kenshin's weapon, but he does have good choice. Anyway, the fencer always kills in his duels, and I would try everything I could to not do that, hince the sakabatou.

Early Saturday

I was watching the Rurouni Kenshin OVA: Reflection. I was thinking about it and came to a conclusion. Kenshin is a jerk in it. He leaves Kaoru and even his son. He allows Kaoru to sleep with him wile knowing about his deadly disease. Now, Goku leaves to train Kid Buu at the end of DBZ. I understand this because Goku is not the brightest star in the sky. But Kenshin?! He's cool and cares for others and stuff. The Kenshin I know would not leave his family behind for so long and conciously give his wife a deadly disease. The Kenshin from the manga and the anime would not do that. I see himself leaving due to the disease so no one else would be infected, but not giving it to Kaoru. I get the message of how they love each other so much, but still. Kenshin has been trying to repent for his sins of murder, and he basically murders Kaoru. Plus, he left his son behind. I don't see Kenshin doing that. Oh well, that's my rant for the day, or at least the first one. Later.

Hello Again

It's Friday. I went to school today, as usual. There have been some German exchange students at our school for the last three weeks. They left today. I heard many of them were crying at the breakfast they had at school. I never did get to know them too well, but one of them hugged me. I accepted since they were leaving their new friends behind and that would be tough for anyone. I'm over at my mom's house now. It's good to be away from my dad and stepmom. They get on my nerves way too much. I got my mom to take me to the comic shop. I got the latest Ultimate Spider-Man and Wolverine comics. They didn't have the Rurouni Kenshin manga I wanted. They had Trigun, but I only have so much money, and that was more expensive. We got our Senior t-shirts today. It's a good design. It's white with the text and image in blue. Our school colors are blue and orange, but orange would worsen it. At the banquet last night, one of the speakers told a depressing story which he thought was motivational. He said that he had been seeing a little boy his senior year, but during graduation, he didn't see him. He them saw him with his parents, and when he got the diploma, the boy was gone. I means that he has grown up and that the little boy he was is gone. I was talking about that story with some classmates. We agreed. It sucked. It was depressing. I don't want to say good bye to the kid in me. In fact, there's no bloody way I will. I love the kid in me, out of me, and all around me. I don't care after I graduate, go to college, get a job, and all that. I'll always be a big kid at heart. If I lose him, they've won. I don't know who "they" are, but I know they don't like that kid in me. Oh well. Enough rambling for now. I'll type to you later.

The Banquet is Over

I ate chicken, fish, potatoes, rolls, and pie. The mayor and many board and council members spoke. I got a gift, as did the rest of us. We each got a book based on a 4000-word essay that we did. My book it The Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. I used the hero pattern for the essay, so that's why I got it. As some of you know since I've said it, I am the valedictorian of my class. However, I am best known for sleeping in class, thus I was named the "sleeping genious." My parents, along with everyone else, are amazed that I get my grades. Frankly, I am too. That's it for now. Later.

New Quiz

theOtaku.com: What Inuyasha Hero Are You? I actually think I am more like Sango than other heroes like Inuyasha. Besides, she still does have a sword, even if she uses the boomerang more. I have to go to that banquet tonight. I get free food, which is good. I also hear that we, the students being honored, are getting presents. Cool. Still, I have to give that letter to my parents. My mom can't go, so it's just my dad and stepmom. Oh well. I don't care. I'll give them the letter I typed at 1 AM this morning. I hope I can go by a comic shop this weekend. I need to buy some comics, especially a new volume of Rurouni Kenshin since I've read all of vol 1 many times. Well, that's it for now. Later.
