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
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
Please check this out if you haven't, I want to know what needs to be improved:
So how does everyone like the new theme? My other Elfen Lied theme was about Lucy, Mayu, and Mariko, but I read the manga recently and now I’m a huge Bando fan! ^.^ While I was watching the Elfen Lied anime I kinda liked his character, but he wasn’t developed enough, so I chose Lucy, Mayu, and Mariko to be my favourite. I definitely recommend Elfen Lied to everyone, if they like tragedy and science fiction… unfortunately, the manga leans a little more to the pornographic side than the anime though. -_-
Next week is my last week of work, and I’ll be happy for the extra time, but I’m definitely going to miss the nice atmosphere that there was at my job. Hopefully, during my last 2 weeks of summer before school/Hell starts again I’ll be able to come on TheOtaku and MyOtaku some more! ^.^ School starts for me on September 4th and I’m probably not going to be able to get on MyOtaku until next summer again (and only on the weekends).
I’ve done quite a bit of shopping, since I have money from my job. Here’s a list of stuff I’ve bought:
Hellsing OSTs
Escaflowne the Movie OST
Claymore volume 12
V for Vendetta (the comic book)
Helling Ultimate (the OVA) 1
Hellsing whole anime series
Saliva- Back Into Your System
And I plan on buying Loco Loco- Planet Loco and some Elfen Lied mangas (I read it online, before I decided to buy it myself).
I’ve put up some new fanart and a new chapter/part to my fancomic (it would be VERY much appreciated, if you would check out my fancomic and give me some constructive criticism)!
Fanart: http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/259673/%2A%2Aspoiler_warning%2A%2A_the_smoker < Spoiler warning to anyone who hasn't seen episode 35 in Death Note!!!
Fancomic:
Well, I’ll be off to visit everybody’s sites and Worlds today and tomorrow! *^.^* I’m going to see Dark Knight tonight, so I won’t be on all the time, but most of the time! ^.~ I still have to set up some of this new computer too!
Questions:
1. What characteristics do you admire?
2. What's one thing you hate about yourself and one thing you like about yourself? (I don't want any false modesty or angst in this answer! XD)
3. If you had one wish what would it be? (Sorry for the uncreative question. XD)
