I was tagged by Ellenor Mererid on DA, but since I already did it there some time ago, I'm bringing a new one to theO.
Rules:
1. Write 10 things about you.
2. Tag 10 people to do the same.
My 10 things:
1. My custom title here on theO is "Don't Forget 3 Oct", not just for the obvious Fullmetal Alchemist reference, but because I won a Premium on that day in 2013. Also, exactly one year before that, I moved into my apartment. FYI, I didn't burn my old place down, especially since my family was renting it out. Our actual house was under construction. I'd tell you what I did on 3 Oct 2011, the (fictional) 100-year anniversary of when Ed and Al set off on their journey, but I didn't start reading the FMA manga until a month after that.
2. Speaking of when I picked up the FMA manga, I started reading it after recovering from surgery. I took a break from it shortly after reading about Tucker doing... THAT. What can I say? I was in a hospital, which is kind of a lousy place to be in while reading that stuff. Reading Azumanga Daioh in a hospital is a different story.
3. "Keba", or some variation thereof, has almost always been my username. Before that, I was known as either "SaturnPuff" (Sailor Saturn plus Jigglypuff) or "Pwek" (the name of an alien species that I made up).
4. The high school that I went to had a radio station. I took broadcasting classes starting my second semester as a freshman, all the way to the end of my high school career. I was even a DJ at the station.
5. The best day of my life was March 1, 2003 because I got my drivers license and went to my first rock concert, all in the same day. It was a Bon Jovi concert; what a shocker. That was also the day I decided that I was going to be a rock star.
6. The album that I'm trying to record so badly will have 12 tracks. They are (in no particular order):
- Anthem
- Battle Scars
- Your Name
- All Bow before the Queen
- Everything to Everyone
- Suburban Prophet
- Rebel without a Clue
- Growing Up the Wrong Way
- Fell in Love with a Rock Star
- This Ain't Your Song
- Get Immortal or Die Trying
- I went to High School with a Guy from Fall Out Boy and I Didn't Even Get a Stupid Song Written about Me
7. If you're wondering about that last track, it's 100% true. I know you don't believe me; it's the interwebz after all. One of these days I'll have to livestream and show you one of my yearbooks. That is, after I remember to lug all my yearbooks over from my parents' place.
8. I've never met an anime that I didn't like on some level. Even the ones I wasn't too keen on have at least one redeeming quality. Then again, I guess I must only be watching the cream of the crop.
9. I still have my brother's old Nintendo 64. I don't play it much, though. Still, it's the only thing my grandma's old TV is good for... besides taking up space.
10. I miss playing Pokemon. I wish I could play the current Pokemon games, but the Pokemon are so numerous and my training methods are so time-consuming that the game would take over my life. One of these days I want to get my old Pokemon games' batteries replaced so I can "catch 'em all". And now that I know how to do "the Mew trick", I technically could be able to.

But you don't have to if you don't want to.
No, not my RP. 'Cause I'm not all that great at doing stuff like that.
I'm here to advertise TheDarkEclipse's Star Wars RP, Order of the Fifth Republic. He's looking for three or four more people to get it started.
I'm not actually part of the RP. As I said, I have very little RP experience. If you have any questions, contact TDE through the World link I provided.
Edit: Thanks for the input, everyone! I think this is going to be one of those "little of this, little of that" blogs. I just added a post.
This might be off topic, but here goes...
This is my Tumblr. As you can see, it has exactly two posts. I was going to make it my music blog, but it seems that my album is coming along much slower than I thought it would. Hence, why there are only two posts from a few Decembers ago.
So, what should I do? I can't add more of my music, so should I just keep it as it is? Should I scrap the idea of it being a music blog? If so, what should I make it? And do I keep the music posts?
Here are my ideas of what the blog could be (aside from or in addition to music):
- My art
- My knitting
- A personal journal
- Something involving my OCs
- Something to market myself
- A combination of any and all of these
Thoughts?
I'd like to do some brainstorming with anyone who's willing.
As you know, theO has been kind of dull lately. I was thinking about a few things to generate more activity.
The first thing that comes to mind is the Chat. Being a Premium user, I occasionally check to see who's online. Usually, it's about five people and NONE of them are chatting.
I've been kicking around a chat-based variation of the "ask us" comics that have been going around theO. Basically, a different person hosts the chat each time and anyone who stops by interviews/interacts with the host's OCs. The host would make an announcement post about it. You know, something like a livestream.
Speaking of which, I know Elricz was trying to organize livestreams through a World. I don't know if anything is coming of that, but apparently I'm a guest poster. I guess that's going off-topic a little bit. Or maybe not because it's another idea for theO.
Anyone else got any ideas for theO (aside from the obvious "submit and comment more")? Feel free to add something in the comments.
If you guys like the idea of an "ask us" chat session, I'd like to possibly host one tomorrow (Saturday).
Update: The chat session will be sometime around 7pm Central. I hope to see you there!
Update part deux: Chat is open! The room is called "KSR's OC Chat". Come and stay as long as you like. If no one shows up, I'll close it at 7:30 Central.
Update the Third: Chat is closed. It was nice talking to Clue, even though I didn't really accomplish what I had come for.
In the past few days, I've read news of two confirmed anime sequels that I'm interested in.
The first one I'd like to address is the second season of The Seven Deadly Sins. I made a comment on the Crunchyroll page confirming the news, but in case you don't want to access the link, I'll add it here with some elaborations.
I don't know how to take this news. On the one hand, I'm happy they're giving it a sequel, but on the other hand, I haven't seen the original anime.
Even though I haven't seen it, I do know that it covered the first major story arc, which was about 100 chapters. How they were able to cram all that into 24 episodes is beyond me. Since the second season will premiere sometime in 2016, I wonder how faithful it could be to the second (current) arc. Since I've been following the manga, I have a feeling that there's not enough source material for them to follow.
The other thing to speculate is the licencing issues. I'm pretty sure the Netflix rumors were simply that-- rumors. If they had it, they would have announced it by now. After all, it's been a year since the premiere, and the hype has died down. Anime News Network has an article that supports this hypothesis.
Now that I think about it, maybe the sequel is a good way to regenerate interest so that someone can finally pick it up. Hopefully, that someone is Crunchyroll. Heck, anyone with an option to stream it for free would be great.
The second bit of news that I'm excited about is that the third story arc of Sailor Moon is going to be rebooted. This makes me happy. Sure Sailor Moon Crystal had flaws, but it wasn't without merits. I'm optimistic about the new season, maybe naively so, but even if it's at the same level as the first SMC, I'll still watch it.
My biggest worry is that with all the delays that SMC went through, who knows when this one will premiere? Then there's the question of whether it will follow the same broadcasting format or not. Getting only two episodes per month was torture. Then again, the ritual of getting up at some ridiculous hour in the morning to watch it was kind of fun.
