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’m just dropping in to say Happy Holidays and get some stuff out of the way! Also, I miss y’all like crazy, and I’m putting off some major assignments to spend some time here! XD I wanna make this post kinda upbeat because I’m always ranting about stuff… ^.^;
First off, I’d like to thank everybody who supported me with that thread that I posted on OtakuBoards in hopes of fixing some of the problems caused by VersionVibrant. Here’s a link to a post with the results of that thread and what the moderators have sort of confirmed about the upgrades they’re planning: link You don’t have to read all of it; I put subheadings in to make it easy for people to find the topics that they’re concerned about.
There’s a petition going around in support of some of the older features that were lost when VersionVibrant went up here.
Spread the word!
Also, I’d like to thank LGA775 for dedicating some beautiful art to me! ^.^
I’m gonna dedicate the AMV that I’ve been working on to all my friends here on MyOtaku/TheOtaku and DeviantArt; it’s Wolf’s Rain AMV, so that should be a little more familiar to y’all than all the Escaflowne stuff! ^.^;
I also have some photos from Fan Expo, my first anime convention here.
And some photos of my improved zombie costume from Halloween and my French noble of the sword costume for a history project about the French Revolution are here.
You don’t have to check these out or anything; it’s just if you’re interested. ^.^
Lastly, I have festive cards for y’all!
I hope you enjoyed them, and are having a good holiday! ^.^ Merry belated Christmas and Kwanza, and Hanukkah if you’re currently celebrating it! I’ll be going away for while again. See Yas! *^.^*
Well, I went to my first anime convention last weekend (Fan Expo), and that was a lot of fun! ^.^ I'll put up some photos and talk about it a little more in another post.
The day after I went to the convention (Sunday) I had a party at my house, which was supposed to be a big party with almost all of my school friends (30+ invited). However, apparently some big, immature fight has occurred between my friends and some were busy with stuff, so only 4 people could make it. @.@ It was still a fun party, though, we played Apples to Apples, Pictionary, Scrabble, and a quick card game. ^.^
Well, my post on OtakuBoards is receiving a lot of comments, surprisingly! ^.^ However, most of the comments are from moderators/OB staff, so they support pretty much everything on TheOtaku. Now, some of them have been implying that I'm selfish and the only person who prefers MyOtaku. So I was wondering if those who prefer MyOtaku too can add a reply about why you like MyOtaku...? And can you pass that message onto any friends who prefer MyOtaku, as well...?
Here's the link.
I'll post the results of this thread in another post (I just don't wanna make this post too long).
Sorry for not visiting sites last time. I was pretty busy with that thread and doing whatever my parents were throwing at me that weekend. Yesh, my parents are at it again this weekend. Their dragging me to the bloody island, and I can try to get on the computer using that internet stick, but chances are that everybody else in this stinking family will be using it. -_- Hopefully, I'll be able to get on during the school year. I'll visit sites tonight, though! ^.^;
School will be starting on Tuesday for me. T.T I guess it won't make much of a difference, except that I'll be busy with homework after school instead of entertaining my parents' guests and going out for dinner with my parents and such.
Holy crap! I'm going to end the post here, before I get any more gloomy! XD Sorry about all that (there are some amusing videos in the previous post if you want something more cheerful)! See Yas!
Answers:
1. Turns out that my parents couldn't make it, and my friends were able to show up late. ^.^ I talked to some people there, and made some friends, and it was nice!
2. I got the autographs of the English voice actors for Galatea, Priscilla, and Miria from Claymore.
3. Batman, Sailor Moon, Rugrats (that show is awesome, whatever happened to it?), Arthur, Monster Rancher, Pokemon, Digimon, Escaflowne (I forgot it for several years, then remembered, looked it up, and fell in love with it again XD), and X-Men. That's all that I can remember at the moment. ^.^;
Questions:
1. What's your favourite thing about your pet? Or what's keeping you from getting a pet? ^.^;
2. What was your first convention like? Or if you haven't gone to a convention, do you want to go to a convention?
The title doesn't really have a meaning I just imagine that it would be fun to say. ^.^;
I posted about MyOtaku on OtakuBoards! Unfortunately, it's in a remote section that nobody really visits (they planned this!), so it would be greatly appreciated and useful if y'all could go to the post and add some comments or just bump it or something... Here's the link.
Also, I posted it on my review World, so I'm wondering: should I try to submit it as a fan word? I HIGHLY doubt that it would get published, but should I try?
Well, I might be able to get on MyOtaku again next weekend, and that might be the last time for a while... Oh yeah, and one of the laptops crashed too. Holy moly; can't someone make a decent computer nowadays?!
Last night I saw District 9, and it was fantastic! You MUST see this movie; it's much better than most modern alien/monster movies, since it has some themes and it's original!
The most questions in this post are gonna be about my first anime convention, Fan Expo, because I am such a noob. Also, I've decided to put some funny videos in this post to give y'all some entertainment! (I looked through my archives and saw that I had a few posts with funny videos that I hadn't seen in a while, so it was good for a laugh). ^.^
Answers:
1. Maybe I'd get him an instrument because the guy seriously needs a hobby (besides trying to kill and burn things). Some good answers here! XD
Books: he needs to read more, and even if he doesn't like them, I can see him enjoying burning them.
Sword: yesh, he can really use those.
A dragon that he couldn't kill: well, he's the bad guy in the series and the nickname for the protagonist of the series is "dragon" who he has a lot of trouble trying to kill, and he eventually DOES go crazy because of it! Good prediction there! XD
2. I like HUGE t-shirts!
3. Hmm... I'd want a... genetically altered cat, like Bubastis from Watchmen. Or a warg from Lord of the Rings, or that sniffly thingy from Avatar that bounty hunter girl rides. =^.^=
Questions:
1. Is it safe to bring a parent to an anime convention? This is a Canadian convention, so it's not as large, and won't include yaoi and yuri, but still...
2. For autographs, should I bring merchandise for the voice actors to sign, or my sketchbook? (I don't have much merchandise... O.O)
3. What shows did you watch when you were a little kid?
^ Jajuka is kinda one of the important dragonslayers... and yet I totally forgot to include him in this theme. O.O His voice actor is gonna be at Fan Expo! ^.^
It's Dilandau, the captain of the dragonslayers', birthday today! ^.^ If you haven't watched Escaflowne yet, I highly recommend that you do because it has so many awesome characters! Dilandau, the dragonslayers, even the catgirls and main protagonist are awesome! =^.^=
Anyways! I forgot to tell y'all in my last post that my boss at Scotiabank asked me to work during the last 2 weeks of August, as well. So I currently have a job for August, and during the first 2 weeks I'm obviously spending most of my time on here. I’m thinking of making some more friends on MyOtaku, as a way of uniting the website (since its numbers are diminishing). ^.^;
I don't think I'm going to be visiting sites and Worlds right after this post, since I wanna be a bit lazy today. However, tomorrow I'll get on it! I'm really sorry that I didn't get to a lot of Worlds last time. This time I'm gonna make a list of all my friends who have active Worlds about their lives. About half of my friends have either left MyOtaku/TheOtaku or become inactive. TheOtaku really sucks now. -_-
And that reminds me! I'm going to post that post about MyOtaku on OtakuBoards sometime during this week. I'll let y'all know when I post it up, since I'd really appreciate some support, and additional points about the greatness of MyOtaku. ^.^ For those who are wondering what exactly I plan on posting, I'll be posting about the advantages of MyOtaku over TheOtaku's Worlds. Also included in the post will be the disadvantages of MyOtaku to point out to Adam and crew that MyOtaku certainly needs more of their attention (and many of the new problems that have arisen for MyOtaku were created when VersionVibrant was set up). I may also point out the good things about VersionVibrant, but they will relate to the way that the old TheOtaku was run (without Worlds) and I can't make TheOtaku look like the better blogging system (because it isn't).
Answers:
1. Cake and cupcakes (minicakes, basically)! ^.^
2. I don't really have a favourite music genre. XD I like pretty much all types of music, except rap and hiphop.
3. No, but I did a few push-ups yesterday! Yay! It was only 13, since I was in a hurry. But I'm finally starting to exercise again, after 3 months of sitting on my butt! ^.~
Questions:
1. What would you get Dilandau for his birthday? XD
2. What's your favourite type of t-shirt (dressy, funny slogan, oversized, etc.)?
3. If you were able to have any type of exotic pet, what would it be?
Take care! See Yas! Here is a picture of Dilandau! ^.^ He's also in my AMVs, if you want more of him. XD
Well, I promised that this would be a more upbeat post, but I have some bad news. My computer crashed (my brand new computer [1 year old] named Franky). Fortunately, I was able to make copies of all my important files onto an external hard drive. Also, it turns out that there are 2 laptops at my cottage (my dad brought 1 from work), so I don't have to share with my brother, but they're still rather slow.
I'm gonna post some stuff about MyOtaku on OtakuBoards to promote MyOtaku, and hopefully gain the attention of MyOtaku/TheOtaku's managers. @.@ By the way, does anybody know whether or not new TheOtaku members are able to join MyOtaku yet? Also, I'm thinking of posting some stuff in my review World. I don't think I'm gonna be able to get much work done on EPWW (fancomic), so I might try working on it during the school year... O.O Also, I can't make any more AMVs until Franky is fixed. I've been drawing a bit, but it'll be a while until I put up the picture, since my scanner is at my house. This post sounds like a to-do list, now. XD So busy!
*thinks about something more interesting* I've finished watching the whole Cowboy Bebop series along with the first Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex season. They're both awesome! I've bought the Cowboy Bebop OSTs, and I'm going to buy the GitS: SAC OSTs soon. ^.^ I'm almost done watching the Claymore anime, but the ending isn't looking so good. However, the manga is fantastic! ^.~
All right; I'll shut up! >.<
Answers:
1. Older movies tend to have better themes than new movies. However, I agree that the effects and acting are usually better in modern movies. Also, I prefer older comedy (any time before 2000) and horror (90s) movies because they're more original. Modern action and drama movies are more entertaining, though. So depending on the genre, I'm neutral overall.
2. If it's hot and if I'm not going outside, no socks for me. Usually I put my socks on before my pants.
3. I have a whole theory in the making about craftsmen (writer), sports figures (hockey player), and prostitutes. Overall (to keep this short), it's led me to conclude that prostitution should be legalized, but regulated in some way to prevent the spread of disease and to prevent the money made from being spent in criminal activities. XD
Questions:
1. Pie or cake?
2. What's your favourite music genre?
3. Have you exercised lately?
I will visit sites and Worlds tomorrow or the day after tomorrow; I'm sorry that I wasn't on before, my brother wanted the computer after I posted (when I only had 1 available laptop). @.@ See Yas! *^.^*
