As the title implies, I created this just for fun. ^_^ I mainly intend to use this as a means to jot down whatever comes to mind, and (provided that I feel like it) put down some stuff on history. I'll try not to be too judgemental about topics that tend to be extremely sensitive like politics. (No, no, scratch that--especially politics.)
As a side note, I'm also going to start using this as a means to announce when I have updated my story Tides of Fate or anything else related to it.
For those wondering what I look like, here's a picture!
(Surprised that I'm still not showing my real face? Too bad! >D *evil laughter*)
Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day! 
I'm feeling a little lethargic right now, so I'll just say these few things:
1) I hope eveyone's Halloween was fun
2) I pray that everyone is having a wonderful day
3) Happy All Soul's Day
4) Please take a look at my introduction! I actually have a "picture" of myself on there now! 
Later!
Before I really get started: the homework in question was called the Mask project. In it, we had to visually represent our first semester in college with various symbols found on the mask and provide an explination of them on the back.
Now I'll get to the fun part.
Last night I toiled away at the Mask project for three+ hours because I decided to do it all by hand. (Mind you--my mask was made out of poster board.) When I was finally done with it I was exponentionally pleased with the results. The shape of the face, eyes, and even the way I put the various symbols down was divine!
Well...
After presenting it to the class and hearing everyone else in their presentations, we gathered together by the stairway to take a picture of the class with their masks on. We goofed off for a little while, and were later told that we had to turn in our masks.
Here's the catch: today was also the last day that this particular class was meeting. In other words, I'm not going to see this mask that I painsakingly worked on ever again unless the teacher's kind enough to hand it back! 
Oh, the humanity of it all!!!
(Okay, I'm done being overly dramatic. I'm still a little sad about it though...)
Here are a few things I found a little interesting:
The word "hobby" was first used during the reign of the Tudors in England. More specifically, during the reign of King George (forgot which number-sorry!) because he was a big-time gambler. His "hobby" was horse racing. As a matter of fact, he would import some of the finest horses in the world to compete for him and would make bets on who was going to win. (Keep in mind, the English aristocracy in general loved to gamble during this time-period.) Unfortunately, King George racked up a debt that was in the millions/billions of pounds. This was astronomical for the times because the average worker only had an annual income of five pence.* From that the people of England would go on to use the word "hobby" for any type of activity that was otherwise trivial to survival.
*(I don't know the configuration of that type of currency, but I'm taking a good guess that its equivilent is much like our own national debt verses the amount earn annually. =_=; Honestly, our politicians talk of trillions like it's nothing!)
The first time chairs and floors began to have apolstry [forgive me for spelling ^^;] was during the reign of the Tudors, but it wasn't the royal family who first started using it. It was actually the richest woman in England--next to Queen Elizabeth--who started that off to make her lifestyle more comfortable for herself while showing off her power.
Sugar, during the early reign of the Tudors, was a sign of wealth because it was expensive during these times. (That was because sugar was a product of the "new world" at that era in history.) To really show off their wealth the aristocracy would create entire meals featuring sugar, called "banquetes" (which we now just call "dessert"). [Brace youself, I found this kind of gross] The noblewomen, to show off that they had a lot of sugar, would puposly blacken their teeth because it was common knowledge that sugar gave you cavities.
I would post up more, but I think I'll save that for another time. (I just KNOW how enthusiastic people are about history. )

(Heh-heh. That rhymed. ^__^)
Alright, just to let y'all know I've finally started working on the first chapter. It'll still be a while yet before anyone sees any results, but I thought it'd be polite to spread the word.
Later!
Thank you all who gave me some feedback reccomended anime! I'll be sure to have a look at them the first chance I get. But I do feel a bit like a heel though. =_=; Here's why:
I had A LOT of time to spare yesterday, but instead of looking at what was suggested I decided to re-watch another anime by the name of Rosario + Vampire last night. My reason was simple: I wanted to get some snapshots of the series to convert into future cards and to recall what exactly happened in the first season. I know for a fact that the second season is being posted on YouTube right now, but it'll be a while before I get to that point.
So again, thank you for taking time to give me some titles to look into. (*hugs*) Here's a picture of the Kingdom Hearts crew as the appeared in the first game:
