LOLI-POP
- Created By Wakusei Aoshi
2012
I expect 2012 to be a very awesome year~! <333 All this awesome stuff is coming out.
Okay, two...but there are some other things in the back of my mind that I can't think of right now.
There's The Hobbit movies and then there's 'The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra' which I'm very excited after reading about it. Before I didn't want to read it 'cause I felt it'd be one of those crappy sequel things, but this sounds really original and interesting. I can't wait to see more of the characters! TT^TT
Also this character Korra seems cool. I didn't like Katara...or Aang that much...They seemed too goody-goody. But Korra seems tought and hot-headed! >:D I hope she has the personality of Zuko! 
Oh, and by the way, I was very much upset with the series when I saw that Zuko had a girlfriend. I, along with several other people, am a big supporter or KataraXZuko...TT^TT So it was just disappointing seeing that fail and seeing KataraXAang...
But now that there's a new series I no longer have the dwell in it! It's been done and we're moving on to new characters! >:D
Yesss....so excited~! <333
What else is coming out next year...? I feel like a lot of cool things I've been waiting for are coming out next year.
Maaaayyybeee NGE? I hear the people starting it want it done right and well...with that kind of passion I hope to see something good from it. Most of the time you don't hear that from movies based off of video games or anime (what movies are based off of anime!?). Usually they just say they want to do it, so they do it, and very poorly. But these guys said they want it to be a good movie (and the wiki page keeps putting reference to Lord of the Rings when it comes to what kind of good movie they want out of it).
It seems they're making movies shorter. They keep breaking them up into parts. Was it because of how long movies like the Lord of the Rings were?
I like my movies VERY long.
Sorry for the random post (why do I keep posting!?).
I'm hungry, so bye-bye~! :D (I woke up really early this morning...liike 8:00 AM so I feel weird...XD)
Otaku Quiz Meme
I just made this up...XD I wanna see how other people's tastes have changed, not just mine. I put things that I was curious to see of other people. I hope this will be fun for you!
Otaku Quiz
Rules:
1) Answer these questions
2) Tag 5 other people when you’re done
3) Post in your journal/world
1. How long have you been an anime fan?
Ever since I was born~! :D Ermm...no...XD Just...my earliest memory is of watching DBZ...so I'll just say all my life.
2. What was your first anime?
DBZ!? I don't remember...;m; Maybe Pokemon or Sailor Moon...does Mario count as an anime!? I really can't remember at all...I also feel there may be some anime that I don't remember anything about but I saw it before any other anime...O.O
3. What was your first manga?
Sailor Moon~ ^ ^ I remember when I first moved...actually, every time I move I go and buy some manga. It soothes me soul~! <333 But every time I went to Barnes&Nobles I bought Sailor Moon, until there wasn't anything left that I didn't have of Sailor Moon (only had 7 random volumes) so then I bought random manga.
4. What is your favourite anime? Why?
My favourite anime iss...Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori? Or Otogizoushi...or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei...or Steins;Gate...hrmm...
5. What is your favourite manga? Why?
Chocolat~ No, that's a manhwa...but it still counts! Ummm...Shirokuro Kitan? Seiyuu ka-!...Death Note? DOGS? Deadman Wonderland? Berserk maybe...
6. What is your favourite manga genre? Why?
Seinen or shoujo~! :D Opposite manga demographics! Oh, wait, I didn't answer the question...XD I like psychological a lot and I LOVE idol manga, but that's not a genre yet...YET, I don't think there's enough idol manga to get a genre for it...>3>
7. How much have your manga tastes changed since you first started watching anime?
When I first started watching anime, I liked anything that was anime that was on TV. ANYTHING. Not that any of it was bad, all of them were classics. I also just got whatever Shounen Jump! or Shoujo Beat! had...though, I don't think I've ever liked Shaman King. I don't know why, it's just always been pretty boring to me. After the era of only watching anime that was on cartoonnetwork, colours (holy crap! KODOCHA! I NEED TO READ THAT...;w;), and [adultswim] I watched stuff like Rozen Maiden and Hell Girl and a bunch of dark kind of stuff. I was obsessed with Ali Project at that time. Then I found Morning Musume and AAA and I drifted to happier anime like Strawberry Marshmellow and random other anime that I can only vaguely remember...same for the manga...O.o; But they came from mainstream, to somewhat mainstream, to digging for things nobody's ever heard of! XD (That was long...)
8. What anime/manga have you been obsessed with over the years? Do you still like it?
I was obsessed with Sailor Moon (still am. Sailor Moon and FE are my crazy loves so I have to keep them contained by ignoring the franchises), Evangelion (still am), Rozen Maiden, Hell Girl (still majorly am...it won't go away...;m;), Naruto (not at all anymore), Deadman Wonderland (yess, but it's slowly waning 'cause it's getting so cheesy! TT^TT), Shirokuro Kitan, Seiyuu Ka-!, Chocolat...that's all that I can think of right now...there's a spot in my mind that seems like a hole 'cause i don't remember what happened that year...I think I was just a big jerk at everything so I didn't do anything good.
9. Do you prefer more mainstream manga or less popular manga?
I like less popular manga because I dream of spreading the love of it...somehow...revolution bay'! >:D But if the mainstream is good then I'm okay with it, but for some reason too much fanart of it bothers me...'orz I absolutely have no clue why and I wish that negativity would stop! >:[
10. What is your favourite anime/manga character?
ASH KURIMUSOO~OON~ :D I actually call him Ash Kurimuson instead of Ash Crimson. Yup, he's meh very favourite~! He always had been ever since I first saw him in the opening of KOF 2003 and then played as him~! <333
11. Do you have a anime/manga crush? If so, who?
Ash Crimson~! Nah, he's just my love as an favourite character, not lover (lova-lova-lova cop! Sorry, I have that song stuck in my head...'orz). Let's see how many I can list! XD
Pelleas
Artur
Ash Ketchum
Chihaya
Light
Mello
Young Girubatou (Young Gilbert from Pandora Hearts, not the older version, I HATE the older version..."orz)
Helios
Haku (Naruto)
Haku (Spirited Away)
Zelos Wilder
Santa
Kaoru (NGE)
Tsugaru (Tenchi in Tokyo)
...that's all I can remember...'orz
12. Do you have a favourite anime/manga pairing? If not, make something up (you might suddenly fall in love with it!)
OWLXGENKAKU~! <333 I also like ZenXShimana, HimeXSenri, and most pretty much canon pairings...ZenXShimana...I just realized that the title has Taiyou, Taiga's real name in it and it makes me depressed..."orz I don't like TaiyouXShimana...TT^TT
13. Do you like reading/writing fanfics?
Sometimes...no, rarely. If they're written by my best friend I'll read them no matter what (they're always REALLY good)...but I'm not often in the mood to read fanfics...if you guys have a really good one, then I'd been fine reading it! XD
14. Do you like drawing/looking at fanart? If so, for what manga, or does it not matter?
I don't really like fanart. I like it when it's of Sengoku Basara, Touhou, or some not so popular manga that never gets love, but usually I don't like it too much. I try to do it to please the audiences since my mom always tells me that I need to pay attention to my audience when drawing...>3> She's talking about in the art world but PUAHAHAHAAA! XD No.
15. What is your favourite song in an anime (it can be background music or OP/ED songs)?
Favourite song...favourite song...Hrmmm...I REALLY REALLY love this song in Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae (so I guess that's my favourite):
16. What is your least favourite manga? Why?
Naruto, FMA, or Inuyasha. FMA because it's annoyingly popular, Inuyasha because it always bored me...I guess I should put Bleach on this list, too, but I respect it for the art! XD And Naruto because I've come to realize that it's just not that good. The cliff hangers kill me. I don't really like manga that just won't end with a ton of volumes...I don't like getting worked up/emotional and then so-and-so is saved or this thing changes or it gets worse over and over and over again. I just want it to end. As much as I dislike endings ('cause it's over...;w;) nothing lasts forever, so HURRY UP AND END IT! No, it should've ended long ago...>.>
17. What is your favourite video game? Why?
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn or Goemon's Great Adventure. FE 'cause the story and how beautifully long it is and the characters and the music and the atmosphere~! <333 It's such a lovely game! And Goemon because it's so nostalgic, has TOTALLY AWESOME MUSIC (the fine point of the game was the music, they had a ton of different composers to do the music just for this game), and the sillyness of it and atmosphere. I'm all about atmosphere in games, which is why I think Mario Galaxy is a LOVELY AMAZING game~! <333 But not my very favourite 'cause I Mario games frustrate me...-m-;
18. What is your favourite kind of videogame? Why?
Strategy~! :D Or visual novel! I'm really bad at most video games so visual novels are just...soothing...XD And any game where you can fool around in it! XD
19. What is your favourite anime movie?
End of Evangelion! Or Paprika! Or Akira!...ugghhh....so many great anime movies....but I'll keep it at End of Evangelion because it is sooo inspiring! A lot of the NGE fans weren't happy with it, but I think the whole thing is totally unique and I love it for that.
20. Was this quiz fun? :D
I made it so, no! :D I mean, yes! XD I mean, I don't know...I made it so there's no answer...'orz
Now Tag 5 People: I tag EVERYONE, EVRYNYONE, you guys, and those other two over there...
Two challenge ideas...
I have two ideas for a challenge and I'd like to do one more before I start anything on Fantasia...even though the world's already up...XD
Truth with that thing is that I was tired of seeing 'At the movies' 'cause I just realized that some movie critic guy had a TV show like that...I think it was Roger Ebert...and I really don't like Roger Ebert. My reasons...he gave The Green Mile the same score as Antz! TT^TT WHY!? Antz wasn't anything near as good as The Green Mile! ;m; He seems to usually go for the more hollywood, cheesy, campy movies...which is why I don't like him as a critic because what is a criticizing?
He's a mainstream critic who I have no respect for...but the other people on that show are really good and funny! XD They're much more...strict, I guess? Actually, I call it film appreciation because they appreciate it enough to criticize it.
Anyways...*cough* Just gonna...black that whole thing out...Ahemm....
So I have two ideas for a challenge. I don't know what would be more fun, because both of them seem fun for me to look at! XD (Though, one I would like to join...'orz That's usually how it goes with the challenges I create...)
1. Anime Fan - draw somebody who looks like a major/obsessed fan of whatever anime. For instance, somebody who really likes a Skitty (*cough*me*cough*) would wear lots of pink clothes with tons of skitty and pokeball accessories with the same kind of patterns as Skitty and any other details like Skitty. And example of this would be:
(I hope this posts...if not here's a link http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljkchqoyDh1qezpqco1_400.png)
2. Internet world - draw what you imagine the world of the internet to look like and your internet persona. Imagine being inside the internet, what does it look like? How is life in the internet? What are other people like in the internet?
(This one I got the idea from looking at these really popular members on places like DA and stuff. They're popular EVERYWHERE and most people know their names. To me they're liiike...some kind of really high ranked official or something, even if they're not. Like the elite in anime...O.O).
...
Lately I've been really addicted to Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. Even when I'm not playing it I'm thinking about what I want to do next. Yesterday I played it all day and only 5 days (maybe even less) passed...WHY DOES TIME MOVE SO SLOWLY!? I wish it moved faster...>3> I was glad that it moved slowly before, but now I'm just tired of it...Or why is there so much stuff to do? I never have time to do anything..."orz
I'm trying to get ready for Fall and doing all this stuff...well, not just fall, I just want things to be done. In all the other games I'm much further along, especially in Friends of Mineral Town. Sheesh, I have MILLIONS...No, no, in Harvest Moon DS I have EVERYTHING except the sprites and a wife....Like seriously everything. I have all the buildings at their top level, ALL the buildings, and the maximum of downstairs that I can have in my house with stones of each season for them...so I usually don't farm outside...And I have all these fences and ponds and grass and everything placed in certain places...it's crazy how much stuff I have done in that...
But not enough harvest sprites to save the harvest goddess..."orz
Harvest Moon DS is the most addicting because of the farming and the POKERRR! POKER IS SOOO FUN! Alone...or in games...not in real life...I'd never play in real life because...I dunno how to play in real life! XD 
But I don't like the bachelorettes as much...No, wait, I do, but FREAKING KEIRA!! WHY ARE YOU ON THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE MINE!? And I have to go through all that killing of animals just to get her...TT^TT How is it possible!? Why did you do this natsume!? WHY!?
But I don't like Harvest Moon DS Cute as much...'cause it's the same thing, a few different features, but nothing huge...and the bachelors are all ugly (felt the same in A Wonderful Life...why couldn't they have made a new batch?).
I say the best villagers are in Animal Parade/Tree of Tranquility. I love all the characters in those games~! <333
I guess I'll get back to doing nothing...'orz
Wasting time is fun, indeed...*strokes chin*
I need to make an animation of somebody stroking their chin and make that my avatar...XD
I'm being lazy...hey...I did 1/3 actually more like 1/4 of my homework...And watched a very good, yet very depressing movie. I cried...and I usually don't cry in movies...TT^TT
Stolen from moonlit dream (and the title is liiike a response to her title! XD)
Rules:
1) Choose 5 of your OCs
2) Make your OCs answer these questions.
3) Tag 5 other people.
4) Add one question of your own.
I chose to do the male members of MaxP 'cause they're more complete (personality-wise). Also, this will be more like a group questionnaire thing...like when the whole group is together and they're being asked these questions.
1)Do you want a hug?
Eita: Do I know you? ;;
Kiyoshi: Nah, I'm not in the 'mood' for hugs.
Kenta: U-umm...;;
San Ming: No. (Me: Finally a straight answer! XD)
Zhuang: The question is do YOU want a hug? *wink*
2) Are you a virgin?
Everyone: Yes, next question!
San Ming: Even if one of us were we're not allowed to release such information.
Zhuang: Just by you saying that people are getting suspicious!
3) Do you have any kids?
Kiyoshi: Since we already answered the above question that none of us are a virgin...how could we have any children??
Zhuang: Ohoho...kids! XD
4) Have you killed anyone?
Eita: Why kind of people do you think we are!?
Kenta: This is a joke question, right? Hehe...we're all supposed to laugh. Why is the atmosphere so awkward? ;;
Kiyoshi: Y'know, I think about it sometimes...
San Ming: Shame on you Kiyoshi-san!
Zhuang: I'd never kill a soul! ;w;
5) Do you hate anyone?
Eita: Not 'hate', but I'd be lying if I said know. Some people can just be irksome.
Kiyoshi: Some people. Not to be such a downer, but I have days where I hate to be in the same room with someone.
Kenta: I couldn't hate anyone! TT^TT I don't want to be hated, so I make sure to to hate other people.
San Ming: Good use of the golden rule, Kenta-kun.
Zhuang: For the past two questions you've been talking to use like our coach or father, San Ming!
6) Love anyone?
Eita: I love my family, friends, and pets. They're special to me in different ways, I'm grateful to have them in my life.
Kiyoshi: I'm so touched, Eitan~! (Kiyoshi's nickname for Eita is Eitan) ;w;
San Ming: You changed the subject, there, Kiyoshi. We all know who you love!
Kiyoshi: >///< Sh-shut up! And, hey, you didn't answer the question either!
Zhuang: You two need to stop arguing! It's obvious you two are too shy to answer the question, so you obviously do have somebody you love. For me, I'll be open it about it. I do have somebody I love. I have many people I love...the fans~! <333
San Ming: You just dodged the question also...And so has Kenta! Kenta, answer the question like a brave young man!
Kenta: >///> U-uumm...can I pass on this please! TT^TT
(Me: The atmosphere is tense and awkward because none of them are allowed to have relationships, but they all desire to be with somebody...XD...Ermm...not the same person...XD)
7) Do they love you back?
Eita: I hope all the people I've listed love me back, or else that'd give me great pain.
Kiyoshi: *comforting Eita* That would never happen. I love you, Eitan~! TT^TT Oh, and before I get yelled at by San Ming-san, I'll answer the question. I don't think they love me back, in fact, I think they hate me. I can understand why, but I wish they'd look through my faults.
San Ming: I don't think we would be able to answer this question since most of us are too shy to find out.
Zhuang: Pfft, of course my fans love me~! <333 They wouldn't be my fans if they didn't! XD
Kenta: I they love me back...I don't really know.
8) What is your job?
San Ming: We're all singers, actors, dancers, talk show hosts, seiyuu, and more. We can say our main jobs in our group if you'd like or our main skills/focus. I'm one of the main dancers and back-up vocals. My main focus is dancing since I can't speak Japanese 100% or read Japanese 100%.
Kiyoshi: I'm the main male vocals and the main male dancer. My main focus is on dancing, but I have been given the opportunity to go through many of my skills and talents.
Eita: I'm a back-up dancer, back-up vocals, and second rapper. My main focus is on power dancing and acting. Power dancing is like back flips and gymnastic stuff. I was really good at that kind of sport in school.
Zhuang: I'm a back-up dancer and back-up vocals. My main focus is on singing. As San Ming mentioned above I can't speak Japanese 100%, but I have been working on pronunciation so I can be of greater importance in the group. I do sing in Chinese if the song has part of the lyrics in Chinese, just as San Ming, Ae Cha, or Kyung-soon will sing the Korean parts of songs.
Kenta: I'm the main rapper and back-up vocals. My main focus is on rapping and singing, I'd like to write lyrics someday, though. (Me: Rappers seem to be good at writing lyrics...and by rappers I mean the rappers who in a group like AAA or something, not straight rappers)
9) Any special powers?
Eita: Of course not, unless you consider back flips a special power! XD
Kiyoshi: Yes, I do, I have the power of glowing.
Eita: Oh, yes, yes Kiyoshi actually does! There's just something about him sometimes that seems like his glowing or shining.
San Ming: Enough with the magical fairytale talk, Kiyoshi can't actually glow!
Kenta: None of us have special powers, we're all just human! XD
Zhuang: Suuuure...but I don't know if you guys know this. I must confess, I'm a warlock with the special potion number nine~! *wink* *punched by San Ming*
10) Favorite season?
Eita: I like fall! I seem like a summer person, right? XD
Kiyoshi: I love winter. There's something magical about that time of year.
San Ming: I also like fall and spring, the times when the temperature is just right.
Kenta: I like spring. I like seeing all the flowers blooming and the pale sky~!
Zhuang: Definitely winter! It's such a romantic season~! Perfect for curling up next to the fire with somebody you love~! <333
11) Who's your best friend?
Eita: Kiyoshi-kun~!
Kiyoshi: Eitan~! <333 *hugs Eita*
Kenta: I've never thought about it...
Zhuang: San Ming, I'm claiming you as mine! *wink*
San Ming: No you don't, best friend is an important title! You have to win it fairly like everyone else!
12) Hobbies?
Eita: I like playing sports like football (Me: Not American football, yo) and I also have a hobby of cross dressing! XD It's just fun! (Me: Don't judge him! ;m;) I also really like power dancing, so I'm pretty all over the place all the time.
Kiyoshi: I like just dancing in my spare time or shopping. I have mini hobbies since I'm always busy.
San Ming & Zhuang: SLEEP!
San Ming: Actually I do like to read in my spare time.
Zhuang: Wha? We're not together on this anymore!? ;m;
Kenta: I like taking walks or playing video games, nothing too big either. I think we're all very busy all the time, it's hard to have time to do that many things, except for Eita, since he seems to be the healthiest and the most energetic of all of us.
13) What are you going to do when this tag is over?
Eita: We'll probably go do a live at some time.
Kiyoshi: Yeah, so should we get going soon?
Kenta: It doesn't seem to be time.
San Ming: You've caught us off guard! It's not over yet!
Zhuang: Too bad, I'm leaving.
San Ming: WAIT! DON'T GO!!
14) What is your eye color?
Kiyoshi: NATURALLY BLUE~! <333 Yes, I have the most gorgeous eyes of the group. They all have brown eyes! >3>
Kenta; B-but mine are light brown, at least. *puppy eyes*
15) Are you good? Or bad?
Eita: I'm the good one, Kiyoshi is the bad one.
Kiyoshi: He's right, I am! TT^TT
Zhuang: It depends on which side you want to see me in. *wink*
San Ming: I'd like to be thought of as good, but everyone has their bad sides.
Kenta: I'm good, at least I hope I am.
16) What is your greatest fear?
Eita: I haven't really thought about it. Sickness, I suppose.
Kiyoshi: Being rejected or not being accepted. Loneliness is a hard pain for me to survive through.
Zhuang: Spiders! I can't stand them, and I wish I were strong enough to kill them, at least. I get my buddy Kenta to kill them since San Ming is too LAZY.
San Ming: I'm afraid of death like most people. I'd like to think I'm fearless, please keep me at peace with that thought!
Kenta: I dislike disapproval, even though I know that is something common everyday. I just hope that I haven't done anything that would disappoint anyone.
17) What do you think of your parents?
Eita: They've been great parents to me and I greatly respect them.
Kiyoshi: My parents are jerks. They're the type I don't like being in the same room with.
San Ming: It seems like somebody needs to learn a bit of respect. I do respect my parents and I feel bad when I've given them any sort of grief.
Kenta: I love my parents and I miss them. I hope they are proud of their son, at least. ^ ^
Zhuang: They're good people. Sorry for all the trouble I have caused you in the past, I still regret it.
18) Any siblings?
Eita: I have a little sister who annoys me a bit, but I still love her since she is apart of my family.
Kiyoshi: I'm an only child. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
San Ming: I have to older sisters and a little brother. My older sisters already have their own families now so it's just my little brother and I, however now it's just my little brother and my parents! XD My little brother is a sweet kid.
Zhuang: I'm an only child.
Kenta: I'm an only child, also. (Me: But his parents are young so anything could happen. Oh, gosh, I just noticed all the only childs! O.O I feel bad for their parents to give them up, especially Kenta, so soon)
19) Was it fun to answer all these questions?
Kenta: They were fun and interesting, but they were a bit personal sometimes.
Kiyoshi: They're fine. Does this mean the questions are over?
San Ming: No, again, we have more to go...stop doing this, please.
20) How do you feel about your creator?
Me: Skipping this question since they aren't supposed to know I exist! Ssshh!!
21) Do you have any weaknesses?
Eita: I'm pretty impatient and can be mean at times, forgive me for that.
Kiyoshi: I can also be mean at times, also forgive me for that! TT^TT
Zhuang: I have a love weakness and Sang Min has a weakness of little girls. He gets all soft and cuddly when they're around. The pedophile.
San Ming: >///< Zh-Zhuang-san!? Why are you saying such terrible things. That's not true, that's not true!
Kenta: I can get emotional sometimes...My weakness is being weak...XD
22) If you could have one wish...?
Eita: More freetime! XD
Kiyoshi: For a certain person to love me back! Yes, I'm a romantic, leave me be! >///>
Zhuang: For all my fans to be happy all the time! I don't like times when they're sad! ;m;
San Ming: A good harvest...or a good year's work for our group.
Kenta: I wish for our group to be the most famous in the world.
23) Your favorite element?
Eita: Water or air. Lightning is cool, too, but that's not an element.
Kiyoshi: Light and darkness! Yin and yang! Those aren't really elements, are they? I'm with Eita, I like air.
Zhuang: Fire~! <333
San Ming: Earth.
Kenta: Wind!
Me: WATER! HEART! With your powers combined, I AM CAPTAIN PLANET~! :D
24) Who is your superior?
Everyone except San Ming: SAN MING!!
San Ming: Our superior is the president and those older than us and, of course, our leader Hisui-san (Me: It's Bìmíng but most of the members can't pronounce her name so they call her Hisui, which is her Japanese name that she gave herself).
25) Sexual orientation?
Eita: This question is very personal, I don't think we have the ability to answer this...O///O
Kiyoshi: Well, I love everyone~! Just laying it out there! *wink*
26) Do you care what others think of you?
Eita: It can't be helped, I am curious.
Kiyoshi: Yes, of course, I think of it all the time, but only certain people. There are other people I just don't care about because they will always be at odds with me.
Kenta: Yes. I'm sorry if that's a bad thing, I'd just like to be the best person to be and I think it's important as an artist. I have to be a great role model for everyone.
San Ming: Sometimes.
Zhuang: No, not really. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
27) Your theme song?
Eita: Something happy and intense! Like happy trance music or something.
Kiyoshi: A whimsical song.
San Ming: Something with a nice beat that you could tap your foot to, but not like a rock song.
Kenta: Something with inspirational lyrics and a happy sound.
Zhuang: A ballad.
(Me: I took a different approach to this question! )
28) What's your species?
Kenta: We're all human, of course! XD
29) What makes you sad?
Kiyoshi: Loneliness.
Eita: When I've hurt somebody or somebody has been hurt.
Kenta: Disappointment (Me: Me too! TT^TT)
San Ming: Failure.
Zhuang: Being caged up. I like my freedom.
30) What would you change in your past?
Kiyoshi: I think it would be interesting if I grew up just a normal kid. I've always wondered what that would be like.
Eita: I regret doing things that have disrupted my relationships with some people.
San Ming: I have many regrets, but they've all made me who I am now.
Zhuang: I prefer to not look at the past.
Kenta: I wish I could have spent more time with my family before I joined this group.
END!
Anybody can do it if they want to! This too me forever...now I'm tired...of this...I want to draw something...hrmmm...I still need to finish that picture. I'm thinking of redrawing it, again! XD
No.more.challenges..."orz
Okay, I'm pretty frustrated right now...Why?
I CAN'T FREAKING COMMENT! TT^TT It's sooo...soo bothersome...whenever you try and comment and then you get that weird screen with everything listed..."orz I WANT TO COMMENT! TT^TT
Okay, but that's not my point...XD
I've noticed that I keep getting in a...I guess it would be called a rut. Where I am kinda having an artists block, but it's more that I.DON'T.WANT.TO.DRAW kind of feeling whenever I make myself do too many challenges. This is when I should learn to stop commenting on challenges. Every time I do I get all this pressure to get the picture done...TT^TT It's terrible...
So I'm just going to finish this one picture that I've been trying to finish for months now. The problem with it is that it's not good, no matter how many times I've tried drawing it I get really tired of drawing it and just slop something down, then I get frustrated with myself that I'm allowing myself to do something so crappy...
So I'm guessing the end result will be very bad..."orz
Anyways, after I finish the picture then I will force myself to stop doing all this challenge business and get to the real business that I've been procrastinating this entire summer.
Darn challenges are too addictive...TT^TT I should learn to ignore them...
I still haven't done my homework, I still haven't done much language study, I still haven't worked on my manga, and I keep forgetting to work on stuff for Fantasia and my story...>3>
I'm frustrating myself.....
...I DON'T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL! TT^TT School for me is just something that feels like its holding my back. Before I was in all these classes that were higher for me in reality (but they didn't want to tell you that because then you wouldn't want to do it, but they told us anyways), then I get put in a public school where everything is just a breeze. I don't have to think about anything, and when I do, I don't get any answers...
Then when it comes to the big tests, I don't get high scores because I learned nothing in these classes. So public school, for me, is a big waste of my time. Hurry up and just throw me into college.
Don't give me free time. I don't know what to do with free time. You can tell by what I do on the internet half the time. I just stare at pictures for hours...or go sit down and stare at the floor...
It's a pain...a pain...
Oh! But in other news I finally watched Clockwork Orange~! :D But I missed the first 30 minutes...so I only vaguely know of what he did wrong, so to me he just seems like a normal guy! XD Okay, not he doesn't but still.
My mom makes this big deal about how my brother and I don't really get disgusted by sex and violence in videos...mostly movies. She always does. I sometimes do if it has to do with certain kinds of violence and when they make it really dramatic and certain kinds of sex...but Clockwork Orange didn't bother me except for the parts when he gagged...'orz Gagging gets to me! TT^TT
The thing is we KNOW they're just MOVIES. When I heard about that little boy who was slaughtered by some man he went up to, to ask for directions...Well, I'm not disgusted, I'm just...fear I guess...In shock. I still have nightmares about the poor boy! TT^TT Or when that lady drowned in the pool.
I don't like watching the news too much because it brainwashes you. Especially the news nowadays, I don't know how it was before, but apparently it was more factual. But now it's more opinionated. The majority of the things they report on they use opinions in. My English teacher gave us an article to look over and write down all the facts and opinions in it. Of course, it was very balanced, and that kind of is the problem. In order for the reporter to understand the situation they must wrap their opinion around it, then when they have to explain it, the only way to get other people to follow it is to use storytelling to explain it...set it up for them with things that aren't entire facts and throw in some emotional opinions. So something looks bad when it really isn't entirely bad.
When the public hears this then they get their own opinions about it, so often times they go and complain about the wrongdoing, when it really isn't as bad as it seems, they were just given the wrong set of facts.
Of course, I speaking about political stories. Usually when you hear reports about other in the American news it is usually subtly negative, or completely negative, when the situation wasn't all as bad as it was in that country, or maybe even worse that it had been portrayed in our media.
My point is that America is more of an aggressive country. One of the few things it's good at involves warfare...and my brother shot me down on some aspects of that, that the Germans created most of the 'impressive' weapons used today. Our culture is aggressive. Thinking of it that way, that also makes sense as to why everything is so huge in America (if you know what I mean...and I'm not just talking about weight. Houses are huge! Why?). It's all because of Manifest Destiny...and maybe further back than that.
When America was colonized it came onto land that was already owned by Native Americans, but they fought for it over and over and over again so naturally America became an aggressive country.
Enough about America (I lost my train of thought...'orz), I must say, Germany and Japan have the most interesting histories that I can think of. Well, all countries (in my opinion) have really interesting history. Looking back on history to examine how cultures came to act a certain way....it's very interesting. But looking at World War II and looking at them now...you wonder how Germany and Japan came to turn from such warlike and power hungry countries to such well behaved countries...I think it has to do with the culture. Once they had something to turn them around or had been given rules to follow, they changed their focus to better things. And they've become pretty great countries.
...Agh...I've lost my train of thought again...XD
Anyways, I guess I'll stop ranting about...whatever I was ranting about...
I don't know what to do now. But I know what I don't want to do~! :D
Oh! One more thing! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEEEAAAASSEEE somebody enter ICHiTa's challenge Draw Me My Etique~! I don't want to be the only one to enter...I keep looking back at it to see if anybody else posted something before me, but nobody has, yet...TT^TT Please tell me that you are PLANNING to at least. That's the picture I've been working on lately...and after all my hard work I want some challenge...>3> Plus, it's a fun challenge and it's good for you to draw other people's characters! That's what you'll have to do in the job world! :D
Alright, then! Good night and good luck! :wink:
(Nothing's working on theO...WAIII...TT^TT)
