Hello everyone!

Well, this is what would be called my blog WORLD. I'll rant and rave whenever I see fit, which most of the time isn't that frequent.

Hello all,

"LYKEOMYGAWD WHY DON'T YOU COMMENT MORE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING WOW."

Someone shoot that person, cause WOW I am so thankful! I posted two measly wallpapers last night and I've gotten so many positive comments, two from my wallpaper idols SakuraDust and Mariskah, and many hugs/faves/just plain old views. I'm really glad you liked them. I know I don't usually reply and stuff like that, but I am really grateful. It brightens my day y'know?>.< Nice to see my work is liked. I'll stop now before you all puke from this sweetness. But I DO appreciate it

Not much going on, already tired of school and looking forward to Thanksgiving. Got lots of homework and I haven't been able to wallpaper as much as I would like. But I must continue with my studies, so I'll have to live with it>.<

Recently started getting into house/dubstep a lot more then I usually do. Just something about the beats and all that good stuff>.< It's kinda ironic cause I have lyrics from a The Decemberists song, which is like as far as you can get from housexP My boyfriends always gets confused at my likes in music, cause I like almost everything except for country, rap and hard-core metal, and even then there are a few exceptions:P

I also have barely been able to watch much anime:-/ It's usually how it goes, I OD on it in the summer and then like barely watch any during the school year. BUT the local anime convention is coming up in February and I am already excited. I just need new cosplay ideas. Any suggestions? I already have cosplays for Kikyo from Inuyasha, Asuka from Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tohru from Fruits Basket and...hm...I think I have one more but I completely forget>.< Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I have also turned into a brony. Deal with it.

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Until next post!

We could be heroes, just for one day~

Hello all~

Back to school. At first I was all like "NOOOOOOO" but now I'm kinda meh>.< My classes seem fine enough, except for the fact I have both science and math in the same semesterD: Dear gawd I'm gonna have to work my butt off for the next like 4 months. I will succeed!

Yesterday we just had an hour of homeroom where we just watched inspiration videos and then got some formsxP The teachers are going on strike so we weren't really doing much...today was a full day though and it was good to get acquainted with my teachers. I had the most bizarre science class of my life though. The guy, Mr. Newell, seemed kinda scatter-brained and he told us he had to go to the office but went into the science prep room instead (?). Two loud bangs from inside later, he comes out in A SCREAM COSTUME. WITH A SCYTHE. SAYING HIS NAME IS ALCAAZAR AND HE DIED 400 YEARS AGO. I am not kidding. He started writing some notes about alchemists and Aristotle, which I knew-3-b, and then proceeded to do some experiments. First he took a kids sock, dipped it in some solution, but it over a flame coming from the gas burner, and then put it in the sink and soaked it again so it would stop burning. He did the same with a 5 dollar bill. Then he left and changed back to normal and started asking us who Alcaazar was and why there were notes on the board.

Yeah. I always get stuck with the (albeit hilarious) nutters>.<

Also, I have recently become in love with the show The Office. I started renting DVDs of the earlier seasons and I must say I think it's becoming one of my favourites, if not my favourite, tv show (other then anime, but I think of that as a whole different category). I have the biggest crush on Jim it's not even funny...seriously. He is my first and only celebrity crushXP

Well, I guess that's about it for now. Until next post!

Back from vacation!

Hello all~

I am back from my vacation from San Francisco. It was truly amazing, and I wish I could live there! We visited Alkatraz (which I kept calling Azkaban>.< They're so similar), took a ride on the cable cars (which was very crowdedo.o oof), visited Ghirardelli Square and bought some of the best chocolate ever, visited the Walt Disney museum and the Science museum there and went to (my favourite) Outside Lands Music Festival.

Alkatraz was really interesting and the ferry ride there was the perfect place for skyline pictures of San Francisco! We took an audio tour, which means we walked around with these iPod like things telling us what happened in this particular spot etc etc. I loved it. History has always fascinated me and to be standing right where, say, some prisoners were holding up to 7 guards hostage in their attempt to escape was a really cool feeling. A very great stop.

The cable cars were jam-packed with tourists such as ourselves, so it wasn't the best time, but it was fun! An interesting way of transportation:P

The Walt Disney museum was also very interesting. There were several rooms that had wall-to-wall screens and it was just so pretty you had to stop and look around to let it sink in. Not too kid friendly, lots of reading, but I really enjoyed learning about the Walt behind the Disney>.<

The Science Museum was also fun, a aquarium and such was there, and I've always been a fan of those. Lots of pictures of the gorgeous wildlife. And penguins:D

Lastly was Outside Lands Music Festival. I discovered it when I was looking up tour dates for one of my favourite bands, The Decemberists. They were playing nearby but because of our vacation we wouldn't be able to make it. I noticed then that they were playing in San Francisco! The only problem was the tickets were EXPENSIVE and my parents didn't want to pay that much money for a 3 day concert that only one member of the family wanted to go to>.< I had to accept I wouldn't be going and let it go. A couple days later my mom hands me a folder with the tickets for the day where all of my favourite bands in the last 4 years are playing! Single day tickets had been released at a much cheaper price, and we could go:D

So, as you can see I was pretty damn excited. The festival was being held in Golden Gate Park, with about 4 stages set up and tons of amazing food from restaurants all over San Francisco. My line up for the day was Arcade Fire (I know literally all their songs word for word. Give me the name and I CAN SING IT FOR YOU), Deadmau5 and The Decemberists. I was one of the few teenagers there, mostly 20+ aged people there. Lots of pot and such, so my lungs weren't too happy with me by the end from all of it I inhaled. Bleck. Drugs.

Anyways, The Decemberists were first. While I felt a little like a fish out of water with the drugs and older people, once I got there and they started playing I just let go. I was worried I wouldn't know many of their songs since they had released a new album, but I knew almost all of them. I sang along, and moved with the crowd~ It was AMAZING. I had the best time. And the band had a great sense of humour>.< They encouraged chicken fights (going up onto peoples shoulders and fighting eachother) during The Calamity Song. And they were excellent live, sounded just like on my iPod.

Next was Deadmau5, who was across the park, so I just made it on time. A completely different crowd then Decemberists. I love Deadmau5, but everyone was so much older, and hard core drugs were being passed around, so everyone was really tripping. I just could not get into the music and it was just a bad energy for me. I left halfway to Arcade Fire, because they were pretty much playing at the same time.

Quickly scooting over to Arcade Fire, I arrived to a much bigger crowd. I cried. It was amazing. I felt so ALIVE and happy. I've loved this band since the beginning of grade 6, and its been quite a few years now. To see them live, to hear their music that I've loved for so long...it was just an amazing feeling and I completely lost myself with the crowd and the music. One of the best days of my life.

Well, this is incredibly long, so I'll leave you all! Until next time~

Anime drought

Hello everyone

Lately I've been watching lots of anime at a rapid pace from lack of things to do>.< And I am drying out of good ones to watch. So I've decided to ask you all of any good animes? I'm hoping for some less mainstream ones (*insert hipster glasses here*), mostly because I've watched most of them>.< Anyways, any suggestions would be great.

Ahhhh what's going on with Tokyo iris...well, I've completed summer school>.< I failed math (with a 48%! The cruelty...) but I passed summer school with a B. I don't know why, it was more relaxed and the teacher was really excellent. I was also one of the few who didn't smoke and actually worked:P Yeah, on the second last day someone actually put a PIPE BOMB in a sink in the boys wash room that went off. Two kids had to go to the hospital to get checked out for chemicals and such, but they were okay. Gotta love the fine folks of summer school...

But now that I'm finished with summer school I can look forward to San Francisco! We're staying there with my uncle for a week and then visiting the surrounding areas for another week. I think the highlight for me will be the Outside Lands Festival going on. I found out about it and begged the parents to go, but the tickets were incredibly expensive (for the three days it was like $200 a ticket. No joke) and I had to resign myself that we wouldn't be able to make it. Buuuuut my parents surprised me and bought a one day ticket, where almost ALL of my favourite bands over the past few years are playing! Deadmau5, Arcade Fire, The Decemberists....I am soooo excited its not even funny. It's gonna be the best day of my life>.<

Anyways, I guess I'll wrap it up for now. Until next post~!
