Hiyas! I'm sbsp13668 (and I'm known by that username on all other websites, so just in case you go looking for me...) Well, this is my World "Be All My Sins Remembered", which is the last line of Hamlet's "To be or not to be..." speech by Shakespeare. It would be greatly appreciated if you'd check out my friends' MyOtaku sites and TheOtaku Worlds, because theirs are AWESOME and they deserve some attention! ^.~
http://www.myotaku.com/users/sbsp13668 < There's my MyOtaku site
The theme for my World and site at the moment is the dragonslayers from Escaflowne! *^.^* Enjoy!
Here are the links to the 2 AMVs that I made for Dilandau and the dragonslayers: Ghost of You This Time
I miss everyone on here so much! I keep wondering what *insert username here* is doing and stuff like that. T.T I don't have much time today to visit anyways, but I thought I should try to get in a couple visits and update my life on here so my next post won't be as huge. XD Most of this post is just pictures and stuff, so please don't be afraid of the length... O.O
I miss a bunch of my friends who don't come on here any more too, like lordsesshomaru, CDandDVD, DarkWolvesFaith, Icey Tigeriss, Leiko Yume, Magnus Lensherr, ... there's a massive list of my friends who have seemingly dropped off the face of the internet! @.@
Well, during the holidays and second semester I've been getting really creative. This is sorta why I haven't been on here in so long; I must vent what little creativity I have before it disappears! XD Forgive me! v_v So here's some Watchmen fanart I did during the Christmas break:
I also made a quiz when I was really bored for Watchmen. I wish I hadn't made it though, because it's really lousy. I mean, the pictures are alright, but the questions and answers are retarded. I made it because I was bored, so I didn't look up some of the things about the characters and I only read the book for the first time (now that I've read it a second time, there's some things I'd like to fix and add to). So take it at your own risk:
I have some pictures of my pets to show y'all too, since y'all have shown me a lot of nice pictures of your pets! =^.^= However, you'll have to go to my site to see them, since TheOtaku limits the number of pictures now... o.O Grr!
Answers:
1. I just stayed at my cottage for the holidays.
2. Thanks Raina for helping me with the font colours thing! *hugs* ^.^
3. I have no idea what my resolution should be for this year... I guess it would have to be to stop procrastinating! ^.~
Questions:
1. How's life? I haven't been on here in so long, so I don't know how everyone is doing; tell me! ^.^
2. What's your current obsession?
3. What's your favourite thing to do in your spare time?
Well, that's all I have for you guys today! ^.^ I hope everything is going alright for everyone! See Yas! *^.^*
I've missed y'all soooooo much! *hugs* Yay! It's the holidays and I don't have much work to do! ^.^ The only work that I have is for this extracurricular thing that I joined in school; a Mock Trial Tournament. In the Mock Trial Tournament schools choose 8 students to try out and play the roles of witnesses and lawyers in a team for the case their given, then these teams compete against each other as if it were a real trial and a judge decides which team did the best job (sorta like a debate team).
How is everybody? Look! A new theme, sharks! I'm really in the holiday spirit there. XD I have time to visit sites and Worlds now! I'll also be on DeviantArt, so if there's any particular art that you guys want me to check out just let me know (since I have 400 art submissions to check out anyways! XD Haha). ^.^;
Sorry, I sorta feel like babbling/ranting, so you can ignore the next few paragraphs. Well, I'm sure that y'all have heard of a comic book called Watchmen by Alan Moore (the dude who wrote V for Vendetta). I just finished reading Watchmen about a week ago. I was making some fanart for it on Friday-Tuesday, which is why I wasn't on here earlier (I haven't submitted it yet, but it'll be up in about a week).
Watchmen is an AMAZING book! I know you're thinking "it's a comic book, kid. Calm yo' ass down." But this book isn't like all those other lame ass comics like Superman and Spiderman! The "superheroes" are all normal people who have just worked out a lot and only one character has super powers (1 of the 5 or 6 main characters). All the characters are unique and well developed and the plot is... well, when I read the end of the book I was like "WOW!!!!" So yesh, the plot is great, and there are many good themes as well.
The problem with Watchmen is that it's so good that it makes most other comics look bad, so good luck trying to pick up something else for a while. ^.^; Also, when I was reading it, I told some of my female, school friends about it. (Here comes the rant). My friends laughed at me and said, "Pffft! Isn't that a comic?! You HAVE to read Twilight!" After my friends said that, I self destructed, because Twilight is a Mary-Sue fanfiction that somehow was able to get published into a book series, and Watchmen is fantabulous (I actually like Watchmen more than To Kill A Mockingbird; that's how good it is).
Therefore, my friends, please read Watchmen! It's a great book and just because it's a comic book, doesn't mean that only guys can read it. Now, on with the rest of the post! Here's some fanart I've made:
Answers:
1. The worst Christmas present I've ever received would have to be a giant set of Prisma pencil crayons. I know you're thinking that that's a nice present, but when my little brother gets an Xbox and I get pencil crayons, it's really not that great. T.T
The best Christmas present I've ever received would have to be my awesome walkman that I got last year for Christmas.
2. I really want a new set of good quality headphones, because my old set broke and now I'm stuck using really lousy headphones.
3. I think my mom said that we're having lasagna tonight. ^.^
Questions:
1. What are you doing for the holidays? Visiting any family members, going to a party, travelling, etc.?
2. How do you get coloured font in comments, now? (Sorry, these are just out of my own curiosity).
3. What is your New Year's resolution?
Here's some cards for y'all! ^.^ :
Sorry for the lousy cards; I only have MS Paint! ^.^; Merry Christmas! *^.^*
Sorry everyone, I'm probably gonna be too busy to visit sites and Worlds this weekend, but I'm just posting some pictures and a video for you guys to see, if you're bored. I miss you guys soooo much! My friends at school aren't as awesome as you guys! *^.^* Anyways!
Here's my Halloween pictures! Last Halloween (you may remember) I was a dragonslayer from Escaflowne. This year I was a zombie.
Last year's costume:
This year's:
I got a haircut at the end of August and donated my hair to bald cancer people, and that's an old gym class t-shirt. I apologize if my ugly face scared you and that the blood on the shirt is too light (I bought fake blood at a party store, and when I poured it on the shirt it was the perfect colour, but when it dried it came out too light). Also, my mom didn't take any pictures of my legs, since I was in a rush to get to school; I had a pretty gross-looking leg wound that my school friends enjoyed poking. ^.^ This was my first zombie costume attempt, and it's the funnest costume that I've ever made! *^.^* I might do it again next year. ^.~
As for the video, it is the video that I made for my school's Remembrance Day assembly. I might tell y'all a little more about that next time. ^.~ Tribute to Forgotten Soldiers:
I might work on an AMV this weekend, if I have time. I'll dedicate it to TheOtaku and MyOtaku! ^.~ Also, I made a new theme a while ago in MS Word, so I might put it up during my next post (which will probably be during the Christmas break). ^.^
Well, I've started exercising again between homework assignments, and my grades have gone up a bit. Thanks for all the great comments on my last post! I was surprised to get so many, and they really help make my days go by better! *hugs* Y'all rock!
Answers:
1. After spending so much time debating the death penalty in law class, I'm not really sure where I stand any more on the issue. I think I'm more against the death penalty than I'm for it though, since it can seem hypocritical at times and there's the risk of killing an innocent person.
I also learned a lot from the debate though, so to answer any questions:
- the death penalty is surprisingly more expensive than keeping a person alive for life in prison, since prisoners do work and the methods to kill prisoners are expensive (according to the against-side of the class debate)
- states with the death penalty and states without the death penalty have roughly the same crime rate and murder rate
- most prisoners who get released from maximum-security prisons commit crimes almost right after their release
- crime rates within maximum-security prisons are extremely high
2. My favourite holiday is Halloween, but I can't wait to have that Christmas break! *^.^*
3. I dressed up as a zombie, went to school, then watched some movies at a friend's house and ate some candy. ^.^
Questions:
1. What are some of the worst Christmas presents that you've ever received? and What are some of the best Christmas presents that you've ever received?
2. What's one thing that you really, REALLY want for Christmas?
3. What are you having for dinner tonight? (Hehe, sorry, I ran out of questions! ^.^;)
That's all for now! *^.^* If I have time, I'll visit some sites and Worlds! I miss you! See Yas!
Well, it's Thanksgiving weekend for Canadians now, so I have a long weekend to hang out on MyOtaku! *^.^* I've visited a couple sites when I found time, but I'm still gonna be away for most of the next 9 months. Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone! I doubt that I'll be able to find the time to come on here on Halloween, so Happy early Halloween as well! ^.^ I'm dressing up as a zombie for this Halloween I think... if I take any pictures, I'll show them to you! ^.~
Life's been going rather poorly for me lately. I think I'm on the verge of a nervous break down or something, so I've come here to let off some steam ^.^; This semester I have Biology, Physics, and Canadian Law. I used to be taking Accounting, but I dropped it because I had too much work from my other courses and the teacher was a bitch. Seriously, the teacher is biased and she marks assignments based on how much she likes people. Since I've dropped Accounting, my makrs have started going up. I was struggling with all the homework, so I was only getting in the 70s percentage range, but now I'm getting 90s in Canadian Law and 80s in Physics.
Other than working terribly hard to get my grades up, I've also been working terribly hard to get my lousy ass, phony school to bring back the regular Remembrance Day assembly. Remembrance Day is this day we have in Canada to remember the sacrifices that Canadian soldiers have made to make Canada and the world a better place. At my school, we usually have an hour long assembly with a moment of silence and a guest speaker (usually a veteran).
However, we got a new, phony principal who doesn't seem to give a damn about the soldiers (or anyone else for that matter), so our Remembrance Day assembly was cancelled and in replacement there is a 15 minute announcement with a moment of silence in it. So I protested to this and I argued with that phony for half and hour during my spare period, and a bunch of the teachers argued with the phony, so now there's going to be a 30 minute assembly. The phony principal said, "we don't have enough time to have another assembly this year. Myself and the committee picked out the events that we'd have assemblies for and this just didn't make it on the list." In other words, the phony principal didn't think Remembrance Day was important enough to give full acknowledgement to, despite the fact that Canadian soldiers have dedicated years and even the rest of their lives just so that phony can sit in her office and pretend to care. 30 minutes is better than nothing, but it's still not enough.
Maybe I'll post more about that later, but right now I'm gonna visit some sites. I keep getting depressed and angry a lot though. I think everything will start getting better when I get some time to relax and exercise, hopefully my grades will improve some more too. I have 2 pieces of fanart that I'd be glad to get some comments with constructive criticism on:
< Haku and Zabuza from "Naruto" (I think I did pretty good on this one).
< Bando from "Elfen Lied"
If there's any particular artworks of yours (or a friend's) that you'd like me to check out, please just say so! *^.^*
Answers:
1. If I were in the army, the only decent role that I can imagine myself playing would be a very strange one: I'd like to be some sort of person who goes to dying soldiers who have no hope of living, and I'd like to just sit there and chat with them and try to make them feel better. Stupid, no? For some reason that's the only thing I could see myself doing that would be sorta helpful in the army. I think I like everyone else's answers more though! XD
2. When I was in grade 6 I dialed 911 by accident. It freaked me out a bit, but I told them it was an accident and apologized for wasting their time.
3. I use a walkman to listen to my music, since they have the best portable sound quality, but if record players were made portable, I'd be using that! ^.~
Questions:
1. Are you for or against the death penalty/capital punishment? (We debated this in my Canadian Law class).
2. What's your favourite holiday?
3. What are you doing for Halloween? and/or What are you dressing up as?
This is probably going to be my last post until next summer, so it's going to be long. Therefore, I don't need everyone telling me "Wow! That's the longest post I've ever seen" and so on. -_- I'm hoping to get on next weekend, but I doubt I will... My parents keep dragging me up to our island (it sucks there; no electricity, no privacy, no entertainment), so I'll beg them to let me stay home next weekend... maybe I'll rent the house from them. XD I'll try to come on whenever I have free time though. Also, I'll probably post fanart throughout the year, because I would like to develop some art skills... T.T Tell me if there is any fanart, fanmanga, wallpapers, etc. that you want me to check out, when I come back next summer though! ^.~
I'm working on some fanart right now of Haku from Naruto, but I'm not sure what I should work on next... Should I draw Bando or some Suikoden III characters? I found out, after visiting everyone's sites and Worlds last week, that a lot of my friends have left TheOtaku and MyOtaku! T.T I have some friends who are just taking a break, but the majority of my friends list has left, because they didn't like the changes... That depresses me a bit, but I've found some of them again on DeviantArt (if anyone else wants me to add them on DeviantArt, speak up).
I was supposed to go to Fan Expo (1 of only 2 anime conventions that comes to Toronto) with a friend yesterday, but my parents said I couldn't. You see, my parents don't give a damn about my happiness; their damn happiness always comes first, my whole family is very self centred (and I bet I sound self centred just for saying that). My dad got a bee in his shorts yesterday though. That was pretty funny; it stung him on the leg, the ass, and the dick. It was quite the riot for me. XD

I was thinking about speech problems the other day... random topic here, but whatever. And I sorta have speech problems, like I slur words together and I can't pronounce things correctly all the time. It's not a bad speech problem, but it's worse than the average Joe's. XD I really hate it when people make fun of words that I say wrong though. I mean, they're rather minor mistakes, and some people just get a riot out of it. And they're always the kind of people who make a lot of spelling errors or typos too! I don't pick on them for making typos and what-not, but if I did, they'd probably blow up in my face about it. I hate hypocrites like that. -_- Sorry for wasting your time with this rant, it's just been on my mind.

Last Friday was my last day of work. My job is at the bank that my dad works at, and I don't have a specific job. I'm more of an assistant for my managers, Sean and Shayne. My boss, Sean, said he really wants me to work them again next summer, so I guess I did a good job afterall! ^.^ They're so nice there though; they got me a farewell card, and they even bought me a gift certificate for HMV (CD and DVD store) and took me out for lunch! I'm gonna miss them! T.T Surprisingly, Natalie (the girl who I was trying to be nice to, despite our differences) didn't even sign my card or look up when I said good bye to her... Wow. XD
**YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS PART!**
Answers:
1. I really admire people who are loyal, honest, hard-working, and selfless.
2. Like: My monotone and deep voice! Most people hate my voice, they make fun of it a lot (I don't mind though). It's great having this voice though, because I've been really sarcastic towards some of the teachers I don't like, but they don't notice because my voice sounds normal. XD
Hate: I'm a cynic, so my life is rather "unenjoyable" due to my negative outlook on everything. Also, I'm a big hypocrite as well. XD
3. I wish I had a talent! Everyone I know has something they're really good at, but I'm not really good at anything. I'm good at some things, but I'm not REALLY good at anything. T.T

Questions:
1. What role would you play in an army? Like infantry division, medic, armoured divisions, etc.?
2. Have you ever made an emergency phone call (dialed 911) by accident?
3. Which do you prefer to listen to: walkman/CD player, MP3 player, iPod, record player, or cassette player?
By the way, thanks CrystalFlute fo pointing out the font colour problem; I didn't notice it at first, because on MyOtaku you could make the post font different from the main font, so I thought it was going to be the usual bright red that I use for posts. ^.^; That's all then. See Yas! I'll miss y'all! T.T
