Dedicated to Mimmi
I would like to take the opportunity to officially dedicate my post to Mimmi, the only one of you bastards that actually responded to my last myOtaku update. >:O I'm not writing all of this for my health, I'm using it to get popular and raise my rank, and I can't do that if no one reads it!!!1!12!one

Mimmi: *suspensful music plays as she reads about the Underground Anime Club*

Don't forget to add salt and peppar as you crush that other team :)

PS: Will we be filled in on this Psychology project? Like visuals and conclusions, etc? :D

Oh yes, Burning Heat is great suspenseful music, as if it's the background of a high point of an RPG or something. The Underground anime club is suspenseful in its own way, too, so I can see the connection. :p Unfortunately for us, the soccer game that we were expecting to win was unexpectedly cancelled on account of rain, and we hope to make the game up sometime next week. And lastly, I can provide links and further details to my Psychology project if everyone wants to see it. Speaking of which, I need to get cracking on finishing it.

This is the first chance since my last post that I finally have enough free time, as well as enough content, to be able to write a new update, which I hope is interesting enough for at least Mimmi to read. >:O

Last week was fairly average as far as school goes. We had a half day on Thursday because of the end of quarter, so that also means no Underground Anime Club since a lot of people will possibly not show up and the sponsor has work he needs to do anyway, but that will continue this week. I'm anxiously looking forward to this report card, not least because I expect to get straight As (which I have never done before). Pretend like you're interested here.. English - probably A, such an easy class, since it's only Honors. Study Hall - my only failing class! ;p Typing - 100, how could you get anything else? AS Psychology - 89! Round that bizatch up to a 111 for it being AP (grade x 1.25). AP Calculus: 86 or 109. Possibly one of the highest grades in the class. AP Java: 95 or 118. AP Art Studio: A, so roughly between 112 and 124. I think the big thing about this year is that I'm actually writing down my homework. XD Oh crap, what was the assignment in Psych? O_O

One big thing that happened last week was that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas finally came out, a title worthy of GTA IV. It completely owns every GTA before it and any title remotely similar, so if you didn't like the series before, you'll quite possibly like it now. I have yet to hear a serious negative comment about it in any way. So yeah, I picked that up on Thursday, after telling everyone I could wait until Christmas, lol. My brother really wanted it, but he didn't have the money, so he says he'll pay me back later. That's $70 he owes me. :/ In any case, I've been having a blast in this game, and it's likely that when I'm on AIM but away without a good enough reason otherwise, I'm playing this game. It's addicting, yo! :p

So lets see.. the weekend. Right, so my weekend started a little early, which has actually been happening a lot lately, on Friday, when I went to my friend Mary's house for "anime club". It's not really anime club, though, more like "Arthur club". My friend Arthur just does whatever the hell he wants, and since he's graduated, it's a way for us to bring him back, lol. The first week I went we played DDR, the second we actually watched some anime, and this time we watched some "scary" movies in time for Halloween. First up was Evil Dead II, which was a 70s B movie and encredible cheesy with horrible special effects. Clearly a classic, haha. I was laughing most of the time, though some of the girls were screaming their asses off. >.< After that, we started watching Nightmare Before Christmas, and got to the part when the kids were singing about getting Santa Clause when I left. My one friend had asked me earlier that night if I wanted to see a movie, and I agreed as long as it was a late showing. He originally wanted to see The Grudge, but I heard it was kinda stupid, so we saw.. Saw instead. The movie was decent enough, I thought, though the saw was a very miniscule part of the movie. XD It actually started out kinda lame, but got better as it progressed. Didn't really have a clear ending, though.. one of those horror movies that leaves it open for a sequal whether they choose to do one or not. By the time I got home, it was pretty late, so I hit the sack.

Saturday morning I had to wake up early in order to take a college tour at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). At around 10:45 or so we left, and after stopping for lunch, we barely got there in time for the 12:30 tour. Like Saw, it started out really boring, with some hired admissions lady giving us a history and statistics lesson for roughly a half an hour before we actually got on the tour itself. Also like Saw, it improved with time. Surprisingly, I now have to choose between this and Salisbury as schools that I may want to go to, and eventually I want to get to the point of outlining the good and bad points of each and having you guys (or maybe just Mimmi) voice your opinions. It's always good to get different views on subjects you're unsure about. ^_^ Speaking about UMBC, now, there were things that I liked about the school and there were things that I thought should be better. On the positive side, for example, the building are connected for cold days and Freshman can drive, while most classes are large lecture halls and the tour guide only showed us the newest facilities. I love the location, though; the school is right by this great mall with a DDR machine in the movie area. A tough decision, indeed. :o

After the tour, (and Mimmi will love this) we went to the mall that I just mentioned to buy some pants. I only own two pairs, so I was long overdue for some, especially with all of this cold weather we're having. I ended up buying two pairs of cargo pants, and two pairs of.. wait for it.. jeans. And trust me, I NEVER wear jeans. It probably seems so silly that someone wouldn't, but I literally haven't worn them since my parents dressed me as a baby. At first I couldn't stand how tight and uncomfortable they were, and then all of the different kinds were intimidating. I actually wore one pair to school today and found the ones that I bought to go pretty well on me, and one girl even noted that I looked nice. :p That night, we went to my grandparent's house and then went out for my mom's birthday. The food was great, as usual, and we went to their house afterwards for cake and ice cream.

I was really dreading the soccer game on Sunday, since we had played the team before and lost 3 to 1. If we wanted to get second place in the season, we had to win that game and hope that they lost to the 1st place team, which we tied a couple weeks ago. When I got to the game, more bad news: two of our best players would be out playing in a lacross tournament. We just had to do our best and use the team's overconfidence against them, and trust me, there was a lot of it. :/ About halfway through the first half, I was tackled in the penalty box and had a free shot. Then ended up putting the ball a lot further away than I was expecting, but I was luckily able to get the shot in anyway. At the end of the first half the score was 1-0 us and the other team was beginning to realize that they might have to get serious. Halfway through the second half, they got a goal off a header and their confidence meter went way up. Of course, when I see that, what do you think I'm going to do? I'll put them in their damn place, of course. >:O The ball was taken to half field, and my teamate kicked it off to me and went around to the other side. Pretending to be about to pass it to him, I made a gesture like I was going to kick it, then instead went straight through the whole team until it was just me and the goalie, who dove for the ball and somehow knocked it up and over a little bit, and left it for me to tap it in. We later got a goal with help from the girl on our team, securing our victory.

That's pretty much all I can think to post about, for now. No school tommorrow, of course, and you know who's going to win: Kerry. :p Not necessarily for or against, much less given it thought, but the Redskins lost and that's just my educated guess anyway. People want to change up the presidency a little bit and see what Kerry has to offer. I'll just spend the day playing San Andreas.

Until next time.. Syk3-out



...think about it. :p New song, btw.

Mimmi.
