I was going to say 'dramas' but then I realized that I have some real drama in my life right now! O3O
My neighbors have just been acting weird. My mom saw one of them outside so she congratulated them on their niece's graduation (since she's in my class) and they snapped at her yelling stuff like 'I don't care what she does!'...O.o;
And then later I can't really remember what happened, but her husband started acting like we were doing illegal stuff because we're not supposed to run a business at our HOUSE which we aren't, my mom goes somewhere else to run her business...O.o;
Not only that, but he keeps mowing parts of our yard and spraying weed killer which my mom is totally against since she's an organic farmer(not in the kind you imagine...it's basically a normal backyard, but my mom's growing a ton of stuff...You can actually have a farm that's 1.5 acres!)...O.o; Just....so weird.
'nwayyy....
What have I been doing?
Not as much as I'd like because I've been lazy! 'orz I can't help it, I like sleeping.
I also want to practice dancing more...but...gaiz I'm soooo shy...;m; I want to tell my parents what I want to do, but I can get the courage to do it. It's not really that my parents are strict, but I know my mom will say 'But you did this before and you didn't like it'...but it's different this time. This time I don't care who watches my videos! I just want to get out into that kind of dancing community!
Also they don't really like the music I listen to...I don't like being thought of as that teenager or 'Oh, she's going through that kind of phase'...I'm not going through any phase. I'm just me. Stop labeling me or trying to box me into some group so you can understand me simply. Understand me for me.
I also don't really like being thought of as a weeaboo, even though I know I probably am...But I'm not the type to freak out about something just because it's Japan. I take careful consideration into the things I like and I'm loyal to them.
Bahh, I'm just ranting...XD How do I get over this shyness?
I also thought of a good easy mask to make and persona! I wanna look like a tokusatsu type character! XD
I'm not sure what the first song I will cover will be.
I've been practicing both Shake it! by melochin and Girls byyyy maybeee miume? But then I sorta know C/C Cinderella Complex by High King and Buono's Renai Rider just comes naturally...Hrmm...what.to.do?
But I really want to choregraph this song:
But I dunno if I have to ask to original creator or what...I also want to cover some stuff first so I have a good idea of how to choreograph it. (Choreographing is another hobby of mine! Ohoho...not that I've actually done serious choreography, but I like planning out dances, I did some when I was little for our elementary school talent shows)

In the manga department....I should probably be working on that right now...XD I have it all storyboarded! :D Now I just have to layout the panels and draw it! I want to decide on the style and develop the designs of some of my characters a tad bit more and then I'll start, or maybe I should just do that now? I have a pic of a new character coming out soon! I might draw some others characters, too, but since I wanted to perfect her design I drew a solo pic of her.

With learning Japanese...I haven't really done much and I feel bad...I'm just overwhelmed with so much kanji I don't know, it's very hard...and then I keep wanting to write sentences and then I'm like 'But I don't know how to write this type of sentence' and I wonder if I should focus more on grammar, but then the grammar doesn't exactly click...or it does, but I don't remember it...
But I the vocabulary, it's coming easy because I recognize most of the words becaauusseeee....
DRAMAS!
Lemme tell you gaiz, since that's the title of this post...XD
I've been watching...to many dramas...I mean, just 3...in the past 3 days...I can't help it. I feel like I've been missing so much...There's also a lot of manga I want to read and anime I want to watch...
So I'll tell you of my ventures in drama and anime (manga, I think you guys know about my fangirling over Himitsu Top Secret...XD)
I watched a few of the episodes from this anime:
Attack on Titan
Sorry guys, I know how popular this is and how many people like it...but I don't really like it. I was really disappointed, maybe it was the hype? There wasn't any feeling to this anime. I'm sure that can be argued, but I truly feel that way. I watched the first episode knowing it was going to be sad and depressing, and it was, but not the kind of shocking depressing that usually draws me in.
Shin Sekai Yori drew me in. The girl died and nobody even remembered she existed. That is definitely shock material.
But the deaths most cliche set up...they're a nice little family trying to get by in an world where humans are just mere cattle to the Titans are then separated with a tragic end to a family member. Okayyyy...do I really care because none of the characters were at all likable to me in the beginning, that or I didn't know enough about them. The mother was just the mother and Eren was some whiny twerp who thinks he's all high and mighty. And it just doesn't get better.
What bothers me the most is the main character always seems enraged and then he gets even more mad at things and I definitely feel like he's going to explode. I don't like watching stuff like that. It's like walking in on some family's big drama episode, it's awkward and I'd just like to walk away quietly...O.o;
But, in another lighhtttt:
Flowers of Evil
This is sorta controversial (poor use of word, I know) because it is animated using rotoscoping which is where they just trace over live action film. I wasn't okay with it with 3D animations only because it makes the movement feel too human, and if the characters don't look 100% human, it just becomes eerie. But with 2D it's really nice. I like looking at how the human body moves based on these animations. I think it's very fitting.
Animation aside, this is a true gem of anime. The overall directing, if this was an indie film it would get accolades! This anime gives me soo many feels...;m;
It's simply just about a boy who likes a girl. But more complicated, he steals her gym uniform with the 'bad girl' classmate seeing him and she now black mails him. He's just a normal kid, he doesn't want any trouble, but his blackmailer, on the other hand, loves to see humanity as scum and wants the boy to remove the mask he's always been hiding.
It's so great, so very great. It is fairly realistic. The moments in his house, I feel like I'm there. I smell the smells of his house, what it's like to be in his shoes.
It's a more psychological take of the life of a teenager and the tragic fall of his goodness. Lovely, lovely!
Enough gushing....this post is ridiculously long, I'm SOOOO SORRY YOU GUYS! TT^TT)

Now onto drama!
I finished Meteor Garden! Yay! :D
It's the Chinese version of Hana Yori Dango and the first drama version of said manga! :D (I also read some Hana Yori Dango, I was so surprised at how great the artwork and story telling was, no wonder it's so popular! O.O) I must say, I think this F4 are the most handsome. They look a bit weird 'cause, y'know, its the '90's, but dang their beautiful. They also look a lot like the actualy characters in the manga, except for Jerry Yan, but I feel like that's because they couldn't get his hair all curly! XD
It fueled me to get that storyboard for idolling done! >:D It wasn't really that great, but, again, F4 is soo freaking handsome in this one...And Huaze Lei, why are you so adorable?! ;m; I like that version of Hanazawa Rui the best, even though Oguri Shun is pretty good. I still wish Xiao You and Ximen could have gotten together like in the Korean version! ;m; They were the cutest pairing 'cause Rainie Yang is so adorable and Ken Chu is so handsome.
Probably not going to watch Meteor Garden 2....O.o;
After that I decided to dive into some Japanese drama 'cause Japan...And I watched:
My Boss My Hero
...Now who do you see in that pic? Yeah, yeah, Nagase Tomoya (Tokio) and Tanaka Koki (KAT-TUN), but who else? EXACTLY! Tegoshi Yuya. I was on cloud nine watching this anime. I want to see Tegoshi Yuya play a major role in something! ;m; I mean, I have, but it was really short and not enough!
This show was so pleasant, but omigosh, the last episode made the cry the entire time! ;m; It was so sad, but then not sad at the same time...
It's a great comedy and another surprisingly realistic school drama! O.O I mean, half the time I know my classmates would act EXACTLY like the ones in the drama, the other half was for comedy effect...XD
It's about a yakuza who isn't very good in the thought department and can only think for 90 seconds who has been sent to high school so that he won't be so...stupid...as requested from his father. He must graduate or he won't become boss of the gang. Based off of the Korean film of the same name! :D
And then right now I'm watching this:
Rich Man Poor Woman
...it's weird, I've watched two dramas with a dun-dun dun-dun sounding name...XD
Not done yet, but this is pretty pleasant. It's not as funny as My Boss My Hero even though it's supposed to be a romantic comedy....doesn't feel very funny...they're trying, I guess...XD It's got nice feels. It reminds me of Up In the Air with George Clooney...sorta? Not really. I guess it was trying for the Social Network love story sort of thing! XD
It's really interesting watching Meteor Garden and then watching this...it feels like a completely different world. The rich now are built on imaginary money where they don't need to be so uptight, while back then the rich built on a strict type of work place.
Oguri Shun is pretteh good, which is why I watched it. He's a pretty good actor. Not sure as a person, though...O.o; He seems to be a bit of a playboy...Like Endo Shozo! :D Those men cheating on their wives, shame, shame.
Ishihara Satomi is soo freaking adorable, though! ;3; She's got really big lips, so when she smiles she's got a perfect smile.
Well, I'll go watch more (might finish it tonight...in one day...not watching the special, though. I dislike specials if it doesn't actually the effect the story big time or is required to follow the actual story).
OKIE DOKIE! ADIOS! Sorry for the long post....'orz
