Bye Bye 2008

(They're wishing you a happy new year, I swear!)

In a mere 2 and a half hours it will be January 1st of 2009. That's really hard for me to believe. I feel like it was just Christmas of LAST year let alone this year. A lot of really great things happened to me in 08, and I'm hoping that 09 will be just, if not more, awesome. I hadn't realized how many series I got into this year, but most of my favorite series I have only found this year.

Like:



- Ouran High School Host Club

- Lovely Complex

- High School Debut

- Cat Street

- Death Note

- TWILIGHT! (I got into Twilight in January!)



There was a lot more, but these were the ones I just realized. I did so many cool things like going to plays with my mom, and seeing Mamma Mia! 4 times. I spent hours on IM with some of my best friends, and had sleepovers with the three best friends that I know in person. I got back into making AMVs, and continued working on my drawings. I played games, and read books and spent my time doing almost everything I love.



I have a few resolutions for this year that I'm hoping I can live up to:



- Learning how to sew and maybe doing my first cosplay

- Learning HTML, or just getting a grasp on it

- Continue to improve on my drawing, and actually put more time into it. (Currently I'm aiming to just make a three panel comic. JUST THREE PANELS.)



I have some new things I'd like to try, like learning flash, and attempting to learn an instrument, maybe. Procrastinating less is the ultimate goal.



So here's hoping I can live up to all that, huh?



Besides thinking about what I want to do in the coming year, and playing video games that I got for Christmas I've been reading a manga I started. I finished all the chapters I could find of Chibi Vampire/Karin and started Hana-Kimi. I'm around chapter 40. It's extremely cute and FUN. It reminds me of a more serious Ouran. You know, with an actual plot. xD



So tired. My friends spent the night last night and we did our Christmas exchange.



I got a dog tag necklace that says Bubba on it. OH, YES. BE JEALOUS. I also got a Death Note L necklace (LOVE), a BFF necklace, and a tiara (bow down). I HAVE BLING. OH YES.



Happy New Year! 2009 here we come!

Vampire Knight Guilty 12

Ok, I say this a lot..but..BEST. EPISODE. IN. THE. SEASON. YES! Which is to be expected since the next episode ends Guilty.

This will be a rather short entry. This episode really was straight forward. Since we're getting near the end of the Rido arc (I think) they're answering a lot more questions. Which usually doesn't mean anything, but there aren't many NEW questions appearing. I'm really hoping there is another season after this. Since the manga is still going on I don't want them to pull a Fruits Basket and barely touch down on the story. However, if they do, I will certainly read the manga because this has to be one of the best shojos out there.

Ok, ok, it's official. Chairman is a badass. WE ALL KNEW HE HAD IT IN HIM SOMEWHERE! Cross the vampire hunter...just WOW. I want to know HOW he knew Juuri. Obviously he knew her before all of this happened. Was he good friends with her? Did he help her after Rido took advantage of her? I have a feeling she is the reason that he stopped being a Vampire Hunter. The reason he made the academy.

Yagari also knew Juuri it seems. Part of me wonders if she was always a vampire. Maybe she was a human at one time? Or even a hunter? Even though I'm not sure how people are turned into vampires without being Level E's like Zero. Then again it seems that Vampire HUNTERS that are bitten can control themselves better if they're strong enough. That's the conclusion I came to after this episode.

Zero's arm spazzing out the way it did was cool and creepy at the same time. It looked like it was going to EXPLODE. I was trying to figure out..was that the level E inside him trying to escape, or was it something to do with absorbing Ichiru? That had happened before he absorbed Ichiru though..so I assume it was the level E. Especially since most level E's skin is constricted over the bones like that.

When he asked Yuuki to 'slay him' I assumed she was going to chop off his arm. ESPECIALLY when she starts barreling toward him like she was going to hack him in half! Then they pan out and his arm is still attached to him..HOW DOES THAT WORK? DID SHE POKE HIM AND THE EVIL OOZED OUT LIKE A PIMPLE?? XD I love this series. Really I do.

OH, AND NOW WE KNOW THE TRUTH. KANAME CAN TURN PEOPLE INTO CONFETTI. IT'S LIKE A VAMPIRE PARTY! YAAAY. *Stare* *POOF* *colored sparkles rain down* BEST. POWER. EVER!!!!

Now back to serious. It seems that in the Vampire world, drinking from somebody when they don't want you to is almost as bad as rape. Rido had bitten Juuri without her permission at some point, and she had screamed for Haruka, who I assume was her husband (I KNOW HIS NAME NOW, YAY!), or whatever he was to her at that time. So he's HAD that blood before. Now he needs Yuuki's which is also Juuri's by being her daughter AND I think that Yuuki has a lot of her mothers blood in her from when she had locked the pure blood away. I want to know WHY Rido needs/needed that blood. I know right now he needs it to regain the rest of his power, but what caused him to drink from Juuri before? Besides taking pleasure in her pain. Then again that might of been the only reason at the time. He just seems to...strategic for that.

Even though I admit, when he was going to make Yuuki cry out for the one she loved and she stopped to think about it, I was on the edge of my seat. Then of course (as I predicted, wahaha) Zero appears and saves her. BUT WHY. WHY COULDN'T HE LET HER FINISH HER THOUGHT PROCESS? BLOW OF HIS SHOULDER IN 5 SECONDS, PLEASE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO SHE LOVES. XD

The character development in these past couple episodes is great. Aidou seems to actually like Yuuki as a person now. He's not forcing it, he actually WANTS to protect her. It's amusing when you think about how much he hated her at the start of the series. I love that kind of development. LOVE.

AND WHO CALLED IT? WHO? Yuuki managed to use Artemis, OF COURSE. Then she gets herself in trouble, Zero comes and saves her. Then she hacks (OR PRETENDS TO) of his arm and the incredible hulk arm is gone. THEN HIS GUN STARTS GLOWING. THAT WAS COOL. IT'S LIKE A GIANT BALL OF LIGHT IS FUSED TO THE BARREL OF HIS GUN.

I'm really glad that Ichiru DID care for Zero, and even though I'm sad he's no longer going to be in the series, I'm actually happy with the outcome. The idea of them being fused together like they were supposed to have been is both tragic, and sweet. Since Ichiru willingly gave himself up for it, and seemed to want it to be that way all along.

Oh, and Kaname realizes that he has formed bonds with other people. Maybe he isn't such a selfish asshole.

OH, AND ICHIJOU IS GOING TO GO AGAINST HIS GRANDFATHER. THAT IS EPIC. I love Ichijou. He has the best eyes in the entire series.

So much for a short entry. xD

Yuuki has finally started taking care of herself a bit. I'm happy.

ZeroxYuuki, FOR THE WIN!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays to anyone who reads this. =) I hope that everyone had an awesome holiday. I know I did.

I'm hoping that as the New Year passes I'll start posting more often once again. This past month has been really busy. I haven't seen my friends since we went to see Twilight. Busy busy. Haha

I got a lot of really cool stuff for Christmas. I actually got more than I was expecting since this year I split cost for a Kindle. (If you don't know what a kindle is go here: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Amazons-Wireless-Reading-Device/dp/B000FI73MA/ref=sr_tr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1230352731&sr=8-1 ) I LOVE my Kindle. I haven't gotten to use it much even though I've had it since November, but just the other day I finished a book I was reading "Blood and Chocolate," and I'm working on one called "A Change of Heart," by Jody Picoult. I didn't care for Blood and Chocolate that much. It was good but it lost my interest 3 quarters of the way through.

I also got SIX DIFFERENT VIDEO GAMES FOR CHRISTMAS. HOMG. Three I asked for, and three my mom surprised me with. My mom gives the BEST surprises EVER. Everything she has gotten me I ALWAYS fall in love with. (Phoenix Wright, Hotel Dusk, Trace Memory...) I still need to finish Dawn of the New World too! I hadn't had the chance to finish it this month.

So I've been playing Professor Layton on DS, which I asked for seeing that Phoenix Wright fans, and Hotel Dusk fans LOVE it. It's already becoming a favorite of mine. The art style is CUTE, and the puzzles are intriguing. I LOVE puzzles. I got stuck on a matchstick one and had it setup on the table. My mom and I were crouched over it trying to figure it out. xD

I also loaded "A Vampyre Story" onto my computer. That was one of the games my mom surprised me with. I haven't gotten very far but the characters are cute. I've already decided my favorite character is Froderick.

This year I mailed out presents to two of my friends in different states. This was the first year I ever did that, and I was very excited and happy. Then one of them sent me a pin and a belt buckle. The pin is the same one Phoenix wears on his hobo hat in Apollo Justice!!! I LOVE IT!!! I've been wearing it everywhere. Then the buckle has the leaf symbol on it from Naruto. I have to get a belt that will work with it, but once I do I'll be wearing that all the time too!

Oh, and I'm currently keeping myself from playing Okami on the Wii. I want to finish some of the games I already started before I start ANOTHER one. IT LOOKS SO AMAZING THOUGH. AHHH!

My brother and I really had a great time on Christmas. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time, and we were being crazy all day. He comes in and yells at me to get up at 8 in the morning. Then when I start to fall back asleep he comes running in and JUMPS ON TOP OF ME. I was excited too, but sleep was appealing before he attacked me. XDD We had managed to gross my grandma out at lunch, and then in the evening I had him pinned in a lock on the couch for like 20 minutes before he escaped and tried to make me smell his feet. Then my grandpa came out and bit his toe. (EPIC WIN expression appeared on my brothers face.)

I love my family.

So much stuff happened it felt like two days instead of one. Then today we all just lazed around since Christmas is always exhausting. Especially for my mom who makes all that food and is constantly on her feet. I think everyone had a good holiday. We got my dad a TV for his bedroom since our Sony downstairs is still KO'd. (Since Halloween) So he went and hid in his room for the day with it. xD

I'll probably check for Vampire Knight Guilty 12 tomorrow, or Sunday. I'm tagging along to a family thing tomorrow, and then I'll be home alone for a couple hours so I'm either going to loaf around playing video games or text one of my friends to see if they can come over. Vampire Knight Guilty only has 2 more episodes till the season ends. Then we will probably have to wait till April for a new season.

INSERT SAD FACE HERE

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and I LOVE YOU ALL.

Vampire Knight Guilty 11

I watched this last night so I might not cover EVERYTHING but I'll do my best.

This was another pretty straight forward episode. Lots of action. I enjoyed it immensely. We're finally getting somewhere!

We got to see more of Ruka fighting. Which I never thought she would be such a badass! I mean, if I were Yuuki, I'd be scared for my life. XD "YOU STOLE KANAME NOW I WILL MAKE YOU KILL YOURSELF BY LOOKING AT YOU"

Chairman fighting the leader of the association was awesome. I wish we would of gotten to see more! His sword is so COOL. The animation in these scenes was really nice too.

We finally found out that Rido more or less planned EVERYTHING. Even the assassination of the Kiryuu clan. By adding Shizuka's lovers name to the associations list of Level E's the Kiryuu vampire hunters killed him. Then Shizuka after revenge for the death of her lover kills them and turns Zero into a vampire. Why she chose him to be a vampire I'm not sure. I don't think it was a coincidence that the Vampire Hunter family with twins was the ones to be attacked by Shizuka. I think EVERYTHING was planned. Him and Kaname work exactly alike. T_T

Oh, and the scenes with Ichiru and Zero. They were so SAD! I knew that Zero wasn't going to die after Ichiru shot him but I didn't know that Ichiru was going to let him absorb him. I can't say I LIKE Ichiru after seeing him smiling at the scene of his brother lying on the floor suffering, and his parents in puddles of their own blood. I got what he was saying. I just didn't care. It's like..I respect that Shizuka wanted revenge..but to sell out your own family..especially the brother that loved you SO MUCH.

I also didn't understand why Zero said he was taking that love away from Ichiru. I would understand if his parents had rejected Ichiru, but their parents loved them equally. Unless Zero was feeling like a monster for partially absorbing Ichiru in the womb and blaming himself for his weak state. That's the only way it makes sense for me.

I want to give my props to Zero's voice actor once again. I have heard him as Light, Tamaki, and Zero. In every role he does a phenomenal job. In this episode Zero lets out this scream of ANGUISH and it was so painful to just hear. Sometimes you see stuff like that and start laughing because it sounds so cheesy. This man can make it believable almost every time. I am never disappointed with him.

I almost started crying when Ichiru died. My heart broke for Zero in this episode. When he had said "I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANYONE ELSE" I almost started crying. Nothing EVER goes right for him. Oh, and the monster that is trying to come out of him. I figure it's the Level E he is fighting so hard to keep from getting out. That, or it's something to do with the Vampire Hunter in him. The only reason I think that is that Ichiru said that once he 'absorbed' him he would be able to fight it. Why would that help him with the level E? Unless Vampire hunters ARE immune to becoming a vampire and Zero never had his full potential since Ichiru made it out of the womb alive.

And at the most serious part when my eyes are glued to the screen and I am in shock over all the events that happened, in the very back of my mind I'm mentally screaming at the very end "ZERO IS NOW THE INCREDIBLE HULK!!!!!!" xD

Oh, and Shiki and Rima are adorable.

4 days till Christmas!

Night all~

Vampire Knight Guilty 8, 9, and 10

Yes, a week later and I am FINALLY doing a post. I apologize. I won't make excuses. I am a lazy bum who needs to stop sitting around. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?

OK, just got done watching episode 10. I wanna say it was AMAZING. One of the best episodes, in my opinion, of the entire season.

Right, I'm going to jump right into this and say - HOLY CRAP. HOLY FREAKING CRAP.

I'm going to try to go in order. I honestly can't remember which episode is which. They all seem so meshed together since they all end with cliffhangers! So I know my thought process might be hard to follow this post.

I do know that episode 9 was when Yuuki went to see Zero at the beginning. Zero was holding a gun up at the door, and basically told her to go away. Then Yuuki said, "That's right Zero. The Yuuki you knew was eaten by the vampire Yuuki." while smiling evily. (Which was creepy, just so you know.) My friend asked WHY she would do that. Since she was obviously very upset after she left Zero's door. My opinion was that she was trying to give Zero an out. She knew that Zero would never hate her if she told him that she was exactly the same as before just in vampire form. It would be KILLING him though. All his life he HATED vampires, especially the pure bloods. To suddenly have his best friend (and love interest) turn into the thing he hates most AND still have this need to protect her...well he would never be able to live with it peacefully. The fact that she was Kuran just made it worse. She was severing the tie FOR him.

Yuuki being a vampire wasn't a big surprise for me. I wasn't sure HOW it was going to work but it was almost inevitable. I want a more lengthy explanation on HOW Julie (Juuri? They keep changing it in the sub) put the human disguise over Yuuki. I mean it changed her eating habits and EVERYTHING. She lived without blood for ten years! Unless she was living off her mothers blood, but even then...you would think it would run out after ten years. We finally saw their father too. I'm a little confused by the vampire aging process. Her parents had said they lived over three-thousand happy years together. They DO age it seems. Just over what time span? There are really OLD looking vampires, then there are these vampires claiming to be alive over three-thousand years and looking like they're in their mid twenties.

Yuuki suddenly having long hair bugs me. Ok..I respect that she was somehow a human when she was really a vampire. THE MAGICAL HAIR GROWTH HOWEVER, I DO NOT APPROVE OF. That's when you know you're watching shoujo. Magical hair growth.

I really enjoyed seeing the vampires fight a bit in episode 10. I never knew what Ruka's special ability was. Akatsuki uses flame, Aidou uses ice, and Ruka can control thought process? Or at least she gives the evil eye to people attacking her and they turn on EACH OTHER. I'm also hyped to see Chairman in his badass vampire hunting mode! I'm currently torn. I want to see him fight more, but I don't want to see him being SAD. If he fights he'll be sad. D=

Oh, and Aidou was amazing these past three episodes. Watching him have to switch to referring to the 'sama' honorific with Yuuki is hilarious. He so badly just wants to YELL at her. "PUT ON YOUR SHO- I MEAN, PLEASE PUT ON YOUR SHOES, YUUKI-SAMA." When Yuuki pulled up her skirt to attach Artemis to her thigh and Aidou FLIPS out....it was just too great.

Speaking of Artemis. That was one of the things that bothered me about Yuuki and Kaname being siblings. The fact that she could wield Artemis with vampire blood in her confuses me. I know it was more than just a DISGUISE but wouldn't her blood still be that of a vampires? I just don't understand how her body could of changed that much.

I got sick of Yuuki crying all the time in this episode. I know she's dealing with a lot but I want her to stop crying and TRY to take charge. Which obviously, at the end of this episode, she decided to do. I find Kaname to be positively selfish. He wants Zero to defeat Rido while he takes Yuuki away after having it SLAMMED in his face that Yuuki is a pure blood vampire that happens to be Kaname's little sister. Then he guilt trips Yuuki saying that he had her ripped away from him and has suffered from it for the past ten years. "And you don't want me to continue on living this way, do you?" Ugh. UGH UGH UGH. Kaname is making it positively IMPOSSIBLE for me not to hate him. He treats this entire thing like a game of chess. EVERYONE is his pawn. Including Yuuki.

Ok, so I'm just a little confused. Was the voice that Yuuki was hearing all the time (not her little kid voice, I mean the more adult one) Shizuka's or her vampire self? Was that apparition of Shizuka just because she was in THAT room, or was it because, for some reason, Shizuka is a part of Yuuki? Also, who exactly was Shizuka talking about? "I'll lend you this flesh and body, if you give me your heart." Was she talking TO Yuuki? Was it a flashback to something Rido said to her, or something she said to Rido. OR was she talking about Ichiru? I should probably go re watch it. That might shine some light on the entire thing.

I'm glad we got to see another side of Yori. I always thought she was very...vague. I like that about her though.

So now we have three people who are going to try and kill Rido.

Ichijou, who I assume is going to go after him. That was my take on what he said. After witnessing Kaname's failure to kill Rido's body and seeing that he COULDN'T, and the fact that Rido is now in his own body. Not Shiki's. I'm almost positive that he is going after him.

Yuuki who just wants to protect the people she cares about instead of being the one protected.

And of course, the ever wonderful Zero. Whom we all know still cares for Yuuki deeply even after she tried to sever the ties for him. He will go after Rido and will find Yuuki there, and more than likely, Yuuki will be in a situation she can't control. I have a feeling that she will manage to use Artemis during that battle. There's a reason it shows her holding Artemis in the opening. After all, as she kept saying in this episode, she may be a vampire, but she's still a guardian.

I have said my piece. So now I will leave you with this:

http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/bum-reviews/2741-twilight

Watch it if you've seen the Twilight movie and you didn't enjoy it. (OR if you have a sense of humor about the series) I cried I was laughing so hard. It seriously WAS how the movie went.

Till next time!

BusyBusyBusy

Sorry for the sudden halt in updates. The only excuse I have is that I've been really busy the past week.

I didn't do a post on Vampire Knight Guilty 8, and I'm sorry about that. There wasn't much to speculate on. It was all pretty straight forward. I do have some new theories, but I'll post them up when I watch episode 9. I should do that tomorrow. So I'll aim for that.

We went to get our Christmas tree Friday. Then we decorated it last night. That was all a lot of fun. My brother and I camwhored the whole time we were at the Christmas tree farm. XD The guy who was working there was staring at us the whole time. It was starting to creep me out.

I have something going almost everyday this week AGAIN. So forgive me if I have lack of updates. I've barely had a chance to continue on in Dawn of New World. THIS DOES NOT PLEASE ME.

I got into a new manga series recently. It's called "Chibi Vampire," or "Karin" depending on which version you're reading. It's pretty good. It's shounen and it's about a girl so that means there's a lot of pantie shots. xD Besides that, I actually really like the art style. The story is interesting as well. It's about a teenage Vampire girl who moved from Russia to Japan with her family of Vampires. They all have a blood 'flavor' they prefer. I.e her mother, Calera, likes the taste of liars, or her brother, Ren, likes the taste of stress. When one of these Vampires drinks from a person who is their preferred 'taste' they're actually taking that from their blood. As in, Ren drinks from a stressed out woman. He is literally taking her stress away.

However Karin is not your regular Vampire. Instead of DRINKING blood she gives it. When she gets around someone with her preferred 'flavor' her blood multiplies! So Karin is prone to blushing and getting excessive nose bleeds. Literal blood waterfall. Now I know it sounds strange, but it's actually a really great series that has already caused me to laugh numerous times.

I'm excited to continue on in the series. I also need to start watching the Tales of the Abyss anime. I found it a couple weeks ago and I got really excited, but I haven't found the time to sit down and watch it!

I also tried my hand at some fandubbing. It really is a lot of fun. I'm not very good but maybe if I work at it it will start to feel less awkward.

Dog sitting ended on Friday.

I still need to Christmas shop.

Oh the fail.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Okay, I lied. I didn't post later that night. XD In my defense I had a really busy weekend. I still have to watch Vampire Knight Guilty 8. I keep falling slightly behind. Ugh.

Okay, update on the awesomeness that is ToS: DotNW. I am over 22 hours into the game, and things are beginning to come together a little bit. Questions are answered, more questions are asked.

So Emil's split personality was always more than Ratatosk mode. Anyone playing the game would realize that, but now it's come out that he looks exactly like someone whose name is Aster. During the game Emil keeps having 'waking dreams' of Richter killing him, and apparently this Aster was killed by Richter. So it's easy to connect the dots that Emil might be Aster. The question is, WHICH Emil? Or are they both just creations of his mind because of his amnesia?

The enemies in Tales games are always awesome. However they have reached a new level in this game. They are truly...some of the most amazing characters I have ever seen. Alice is a sadistic 18 year old girl who fights by commanding monsters and she carries a whip. She talks in a baby voice half the time, and nicknames all the girls she hates, and she nicknames all the guys she likes. One of her lines is "I just LOVE breaking cute little girls arms~," she is almost NIGHTMARE worthy. XD Then there's the true winner. Decus. (He got the screenshot spot!) Decus is madly in love with Alice, and would do almost anything for her. He also has a habit of buying mail-order items. He wears this cologne Eau de Seduction that smells HORRIBLE, but he hopes that it will cause Alice to fall for him. He also does these amazing poses while he's talking..he's just...like Zelo's x10 and devoted to one woman.

It was explained that Lloyd wasn't really the one who attacked Palmacosta. (I knew it) It was really Decus who has the ability to transform into other people. I really SHOULD hate Decus since he managed to kill Lloyd's reputation, but I really can't. My whole party is being killed and I'm sitting there laughing my ass off at his special attack. I love characters like that.

I still think Tenebrae knows a hell of a lot more than he's letting on. ESPECIALLY about the effects of Ratatosk's core on Marta. If the same thing that happens to people whose Exspheres were removed, but it was the only way to protect Ratatosk I'm pretty sure Tenebrae would keep it to himself. I don't WANT Tenebrae to be bad but it's almost impossible for him not to be.

I WANT MORE YUAN!! We saw him ONCE! THAT HAD TO MEAN SOMETHING! WE HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. IT'S NECESSARY! XD Oh, and the summon spirits too. It annoys me that Sheena can't summon them in battle anymore. I want to see my favorites again!

I had more to say on this subject, but I started this at 11:50 and now it's 1:20 in the morning. I need sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.

Only 1 week left of dog sitting.

Good night

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope every ones Thanksgiving was wonderful, mine was pretty good. My dad and I went to get spiral Christmas trees for our front yard, and then we put them out. After that we ate. (and it was all delicious so I overstuffed myself x_x.) Then I passed out on the couch for an hour and spent the rest of the evening playing Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, and taking care of the neighbor dog who I'm petsitting currently.

I'm going to do two posts tonight. One on Twilight, and the other on ToS:DOTNW. That game...has made me laugh, and smile SO much. Not as good as the first, but it's definitely one I'll treasure.

I realized earlier that I hadn't done a post on the Twilight movie. So I decided I'd post some of my personal opinions up.

I'll admit..if you didn't get this from my one post, I wasn't going in expecting it to be great. So I wasn't surprised when I was disappointed with a lot of it. There WERE elements I liked though. Very much.

I'll list those first. I thought that Kellan Lutz as Emmett did an AMAZING job. Every time he was on screen he actually FELT like Emmett. Even the way he held himself was in character to Emmett Cullen. He was the only actor I was actually THRILLED with in the movie. I really wish they would of given him more screen time even though Emmett didn't really get a lot of attention until Breaking Dawn.

The other characters I was OK with were - Jacob, Alice, Esme, Carlisle, Mike, Charlie, James, Victoria, and Jessica.

While Charlie was the complete OPPOSITE of how I pictured him I actually enjoyed every time he was on screen. I never thought Charlie got enough attention in the books. Especially the first. So the subtle threatening of Edward, and the added pepper spray stuff was amusing.

I thought that the way they opened the movie with the deer running in the forest and then having a vampire attack it was very well done. I wasn't excited UNTIL that started. Then I felt the static electricity of excitement shooting through the room and it was affecting me as well.

The Baseball scene was epic. I thought that it was extremely well done, and very cool. Especially when Emmett and Edward collided in the air. Along with the added scene in the kitchen where they were making Bella something to eat when she was coming over. "How do you know she even LIKES Italian?"

"Her names BELLA!"

Now onto the disappointments-

Edward and Bella. I flat out didn't like them. Whenever they were on screen it felt DEPRESSING. I thought their way of speaking sounded MONOTONE. There wasn't a very large range of emotion. Even when they were happy it felt exactly the same as when they were in the hospital having that little fight.

I also thought that Edward just seemed so AWKWARD. In the books Edward was more 18th century than modern teenager. In the movie he was just an awkward teen with the urge to drink blood. I couldn't even THINK of him as Edward. Same with Bella. They weren't the characters, they were just people with the same name. I was cringing when they had Edward even mention the word sex because it just felt so out of character. He couldn't even say it in the third book when he had been with Bella for over a year, let alone for a couple weeks/months.

I thought they were concentrating too much on the high school scene in the movie. They had 2 hours to work with, and most of it was Bella at school. They completely botched the ending, but they managed to make room for Jessica to say that her boobs looked great in a dress. Let alone the fact that they made Angela seem so SHALLOW. UGH. Oh, and that Eric was completely different. He was funny, yes, but he was supposed to be a DORK. I hate the fact that they manage to change almost every character just because they can. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CHARACTERS BEFORE? The teenage lingo was overdone as well. Nobody, and I mean nobody talks like that. At least no one I know.

I don't think they touched down on the subject that the Cullens were vampires. They didn't even MENTION that Jasper had a special ability. Alice's was barely used. Edward said he read minds and that's how he found her at Port Angeles, but that was IT.

Let alone that they did the ending all backward. They basically took out Jasper, and Alice's most important parts. If you've read the books you would know that Alice doesn't have a vision of something until AFTER a person makes a decision. In the movie they had her see the Ballet studio before Bella even DECIDED to go. In the movie Bella gets the phone call after Alice see's the Ballet studio, and THEN she decides to go. She also sits there saying whatever she wants into the phone instead of the well thought out strategy that Jame's had in the book. Jasper, and Alice SHOULD have been able to hear her, but no. Suddenly Vampire's hearing is the same as anyone elses. Go. Figure.

Then at the airport when Bella had to use some brain power, and sneak away from Jasper by slipping out the other exit of a bathroom, and then hailing a taxi as fast as she could. Then RUNNING to the ballet studio so that they didn't get to her before she made it and stop her. Do you think they did that? No. Do you think they even TRIED to make it look challenging? No. SHE WALKS OUT THE DOORS, AND GETS IN A TAXI. THAT. WAS. IT. It's almost INSULTING to the characters. It makes Jasper and Alice seem PATHETIC. It also took away how much of a genius James' REALLY was. Instead they just had him as a bloodthirsty Vampire who wanted a fight. The thrill of the hunt was barely there.

The battle scene, even though it wasn't necessary, was entertaining enough. I don't have much to say on that part. I understand that they were going to make it as appealing as they could. It would draw more of an audience if there is some epic battle at the end. I can live with that. The noises Bella was making before and while Edward was sucking her blood was creeping me out though. xD; I wish they would of just LET her have her eyes closed like she was supposed to. I, as horrible as it is, started laughing at one point. When she crossed her eyes...it just made me laugh. You just wanted to go "GIRL, JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU PSYCHO."

I DID find it amusing that it was Alice that went over and broke James' neck. Alice you badass you.

Then the prom. It was cute. I got bored when Edward, and Bella were dancing. xD It just seemed to never END. I did get exasperated when they walked in and I saw the back of Victoria's head, and then when she was upstairs looking out at them dancing. I'd like to point out that EDWARD WOULD HEAR WHATEVER SHE WAS THINKING. I KNOW they wanted to make sure people knew there was more to come, but REALLY. EDWARD WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE!

So as Twilight being turned into a movie I give it 2 and 1/2 out of 5 stars. Maybe 3 stars. Emmett gets a whole star for himself.

As just a regular movie it would be a 3 and a half to 4 stars from me.

It just felt rushed in my opinion. It could of been worse. Much much worse.

So Happy Turkey Day everyone, and if you see Twilight then I hope you enjoy it more than I did.

Peace~

Vampire Knight Guilty 7

I watched Vampire Knight Guilty 7 on Saturday. I just re watched it so that my speculation might at least pick up most of the details from the episode. Wow! And what an episode it was. Lots of stuff happening. You only get one or two questions answered each episode, and they make sure to give you 5,000 more.

Alright lets start with Yuuki's hallucinations. The slow deterioration of her sanity is extremely well done. Not that she goes insane. It's just they started off really slow, and made them not really a big deal. Over the episodes they became more frequent, creepier, and she couldn't deal with them as well. Sometimes stuff like that can come off as silly, but they managed to pull it off.

I've come to the conclusion that the blood in the vial Ichiru tried to slip Yuuki was Kuran Rido's. (Shiki's father. I FINALLY KNOW HIS NAME!) I have a feeling that it was meant to speed up the process of her 'awakening'. Since Kaname's blood is what 'woke' her it would make sense that Rido's blood would do the same. If not a little...differently. They're both pure bloods, and they're both Kuran's so it's a high possibility.

It was finally announced in the anime that Yuuki, and Kaname are siblings. I'm not sure what that last line from Kaname meant but I'm going to ignore it in my next theory. I had known they were siblings because I had accidentally seen a spoiler on Wiki when I was doing some research on the series.

I have had this idea rolling around in my head since I watched episode 7 the first time...so I'm going to type it out now. It's very unlikely, but it could still work. We've seen what Yuuki's mother looks like now. (Her name is Julie, in case you were wondering.) Both Kaname, and Yuuki look VERY much like her. Especially Yuuki. We have yet to see their father so I was thinking at the possibility that Rido may have taken advantage of Julie (We saw he was very capable of taking what he wants. He was planning on forcing himself on Ruka, after all.)and Yuuki might be his daughter. Might. That could be why her blood is so important to him. By using Shiki's body, and Shiki's blood he was able to come to half his previous power. If it's a direct bloodline connection then that would make sense why Yuuki would be the target, but not Kaname.

I also want to know which side this Uncle is on. Their mothers, or their fathers. Along with the eyes. I think that's a huge part in this. As you can see I included a screenie of Rido in Shiki's body with that evil smirk of his. I'm going to tack on that I feel extremely bad for Rima. You can tell the two were together no matter how unenthusiastic they were about it.

Also, what is the connection between the engagement of Rido and Shizuka, and the Kuran's and Zero's family? The fact that Chairman ended up with Yuuki, who's family was murdered by Rido, and Zero, who's family was attacked by Shizuka, can't be a coincidence. They're all tied together by these two pure bloods, and the Vampire Council.

Oh, and I think Kaname and Yuuki were engaged, or they were GOING to be once they were older. The clip where someone was playing with Yuuki's hair saying "We're going to be just like father, and mother one day." made it clear that they were going to be more than siblings when they were older. (This was in episode 5 or 6) Along with the fact that I don't think Yuuki has anyone else who would refer to her parents as "Father, and Mother".

I think that covers all my thoughts on this episode. Or at least most of them. XD

Peace out, my friends!

Vampire Knight Guilty 6

Alright, I just got done re watching episode 6 so it's fresh in my mind. FORWARD TO THE SPECULATION AND RAMBLINGS!!

I'm a little confused. A lot of stuff happened in this episode. Lots to absorb. Here's what I've come up with though-

My speculation of the woman leaning towards Yuuki being a Vampire was wrong. Or at least, I THINK it was. If the woman in Chairman's memory is the one leaning towards Yuuki then that has to be her mother. I mean they look EXACTLY alike.

I'm assuming Ichiru was trying to kill Yuuki with that vial of blood he had. There are one of two options here -- He has orders from the council to eliminate Yuuki, or he was going to kill her as part of his revenge on Zero. He blames Zero for Shizuka's murder, so he takes the most important person in Zero's life from him. Seems logical to me. However, HOW did he obtain that vial of blood? Shizuka was killed by Kaname. Nobody was around when that happened. So maybe the council were the ones that gave him that vial. Hmm....

I have to say that Kaname has made me hate him. This episode especially. The fact that he made Zero watch his interaction with Yuuki was just CRUEL. He KNOWS that Zero cares deeply for the girl, and he flaunts the fact that Yuuki has agreed to be his lover. While really, Yuuki only agreed because she wants him to tell her about her past. He is STILL dancing around the subject even though she has given into his demands. URGH. I WANT TO STRANGLE HIM.

Speaking of Yuuki's past -- I think that the bloody hand reaching out to her in her dreams is Shiki's father. While my speculation about Shiki's mother seems to be completely off, I still think that Shiki's father has a big part in this whole thing. He is obviously power hungry. From what he said at the end of this episode, "What will he think when the true heir appears" or something to that affect, makes me think that he thought they belonged in the Kuran's place. It's always a power trip, isn't it? Haha

Chairman, as always, made me laugh almost every time he was on screen. I felt bad when Ichiru walked out on his dinner. HE WORKED SO HARD! D=

Another cliff hanger. This episode was only available in high quality subs on Monday. I'm still holding out hope that episode 7 will be made available on Friday.

Oh, and Friday I'm going to see Twilight at the movie theater with my friends. I'm actually dreading it. I was never excited when I heard it was going to be made into a movie. I'm going, and if I hate it at least I'll be able to explain WHY. If I actually enjoy it (fat chance) then hooray!

I have Yoga in the morning.

Should sleep now.

Peace

EPIC

FAIL! NINE DAYS BETWEEN POSTS? What is my problem!? I can only say that I wasn't feeling well last week (Seriously, I canceled almost everything I was doing.), and then my new game came when I was feeling better. I'm going to be doing two posts today. One on Vampire Knight Guilty 6 a little later. I want to re watch, and make sure I absorb EVERYTHING before I go on my mass rambles. This post, however, is going to be an update on what I've been doing the past week. Along with some mass spazzing about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. My love for Tales of Symphonia never went away...it just became dormant over the years. Now the flames of my love has come back with a burning passion, and I can't stop spazzing about the characters. *insert floaty hearts*

Honestly, I really HADN'T done anything much last week. I texted a few of my friends and lazed around the house waiting to feel better. I also helped clean my grandmothers house which doesn't exactly fall under the category of fun. It's not so bad though. We blasted the Mama Mia! soundtrack while I mopped the floors. (She called me weird about 3 times for prancing around like a fairy. xD) I also spent all of yesterday reading the book "The Adoration of Jenna Fox" It's pretty good. It's not a book I would usually pick out to read, but I'm enjoying it.

Okay, time for the epic spazzing I promised. I posted more than a month ago about Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World with the opening in my post. I never did a huge profiling on the game for one big reason. I didn't want to read too much about it, or I wouldn't be able to contain the excitement of the sequel coming out. I'm only 8 hours into the game (it came for me on Monday) which since I don't breeze through games as quickly as some, only puts me in Iselia's Human Ranch. I like to explore way too much for me to just breeze through dungeons.

SO, from what I've seen about the game so far I have to say, I'm enjoying it. I scream almost every time one of the original characters appears. The main character Emil is OK. I know his character will build as the game goes on (he already has grown a bit) but his constant apologies, (Yes, I know Colette apologized all the time too.) and fears of EVERYTHING is an extreme difference from Lloyd. Plus it's hard for me to play as characters who HATE Lloyd! You fall in love with Lloyd when you play the first game. You KNOW that he would never have attacked Palmacosta, and killed Emil's parents even if you DID watch the scene at the beginning. So it's hard for me to hear the constant bashing on Lloyd and all his friends. Even if Emil thinks Lloyd is the murderer of his parents.

Marta, however, is the complete opposite of Emil and she manages to get on my nerves as well. XD Her constant flirting with Emil is enough to make me want to strangle her. Don't get me wrong, I actually DO like these characters. I just have to get used to their quirks. Colette got on my nerves my first two play trough's of ToS, (I have played that game at least 6 times. More than 120 hours of my life was put into that game.) but I still LIKED her.

Then there's Richter. I'm not sure what I think of Richter yet. I DO get the feeling he knows Emil more than he's letting on. I have a hunch that he MIGHT be related to Emil somehow. No, I don't think he's his father. LOL (Even though I guessed right about the major spoiler in the first game. HAHAHA Never letting my brother live that one down.) Maybe a brother, or an uncle though. I'm not sure yet. I have to play some more and see how they interact. My mom hates all three characters from what she hears when she's doing her hair in the bathroom. She keeps telling me to kill all the main characters off! XD

Tenebrae is my favorite of the new set so far. His sarcastic nature reminds of Jade Curtis from Tales of the Abyss. The dry wit of his humor is great, and he plainly speaks whatever is on his mind. Yay for forward characters! I have a feeling he knows more than he's telling Emil, and Marta. I just hope he doesn't betray them later on. That will make me sad. WHY ARE ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS TRAITORS?

The battle system is, as usual, excellent. I'm not sure if I like the addition of adding monsters to your party to fight with you. I always liked having four people fighting. This change makes me feel like I'm playing Pokemon. Not that there's anything wrong with Pokemon, I just don't care for the idea of all the Tales games going in this direction. I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAN'T PLAY AS THE OLD CHARACTERS WHEN THEY'RE IN YOUR PARTY. I mean in the middle of a BATTLE you can change to one, but other than that you can't even RUN AROUND as one. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING AS SHEENA, AND LLOYD AGAIN!

Voice actors are pretty good. I never like when voices change in a series. I'm happy they managed to get some of the originals. I.e, Presea, Colette, and Kratos.(EVEN THOUGH HE ONLY NARRATES!! WAAAH! My favorite character! *wibble*) Raine's voice is pretty close to the originals, and Zelos' is OK. I heard a clip of Sheena's on youtube and almost cried. Lloyd and Sheena's are a disappointment for me. Their original voices were so PERFECT for them.

There is so much to say about this game, and this probably won't be my only post about it. This game has made me so happy in the span of two days. XD I'm planning on playing some more when I get back from the store today~.

I will say that the Lloyd I know and love appeared in the game. Defeated my characters (I swear it was the fastest kill I have ever received. Span of .2 seconds.), and sealed us in a room. Leaving behind a sign with the poorly drawn Lloyd from the first game, and it read "LLOYD IRRVING WUZ HERE!!!" I had gigglefits for at least 10 minutes. It was so LLOYD. I loved it.

"...and that began the regeneration of the world."

LATER!

Vampire Knight Guilty 5

Okay, I watched this on Friday. I was just too lazy to post till now. XD So lets jump right in here-

Yuuki was hallucinating again. I really like the way they do her hallucinations in the show. The blood..and her voice from 10 years ago going "I'm scared". I always love the eerie feel. I can't help it. XD

I am officially in love with the Chairman, and Yagari. The Chairman is only serious for about 10 seconds at a time. Yagari is the serious one, but still manages to ALWAYS make me smile. When he stole Chairman's cuttlefish I couldn't stop laughing!

I was doing some mass speculating, and here's what I came up with --

The person Zero keeps seeing in those chains when he's drinking Kaname's blood is Shiki's father. I'm almost positive he has a direct connecton with the murder of the Kurans. At the end of the episode they show that clip AGAIN while Zero worries about Yuuki. So I'm assuming it has something to do with her memories. Then Yuuki's memory is of that lady leaning towards her. I assume that's Shiki's mother. (If I knew their names I would use them) We saw her in episode 3, or 4 and obviously she lusts for blood. She drank from her own SON. Another reason I think this is because RIGHT AFTER Shiki's father, in his child form, kissed Yuuki on the cheek, her memories started to resurface.

I'm not sure WHY they would want to kill the Kuran's. Most likely for power since the Kuran's were pure bloods. I have a feeling Ichijou's grandfather, and MAYBE the entire association was a part of this.

That is what I think on the subject of Yuuki, and Kaname's tangled past.

Ichiru is now going to Cross Academy. Even more drama. Poor Zero. He catches no breaks in life, really.

NOW, the end of the episode. I think Kaname's logic is so screwed up. Any possibility of me ever liking him flew out the window in this single episode. Not only does he more or less FORCE Zero to drink his blood, he tries to make Yuuki be his lover in exchange for telling her about the past. "I'm afraid you'll hate me. So promise to be my lover and I'll believe in you." Is basically what he was saying. AUGH. I understand he wants to protect her, but she has a right to know her own past! WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED.

New episode tomorrow. Subbed by Friday. I'll try to post THAT DAY. I swear. xD

ZeroxYuuki forever!

Vampire Knight Guilty 4

Ok, I know I lied. I didn't get a chance to watch it till Sunday, and then I have no other excuses for not posting sooner. Vampire Knight Guilty 5 came out today. It should be subbed by Friday, but maybe if we're lucky it will be Thursday. =D

Let me start by saying, I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!! HAHAHA! Okay. I'm good now. The little kid WAS related to Shiki. In a different way than I thought, but still related. I'm assuming that Shiki's father has something to do with the murder of Kaname's parents. I don't want Shiki to be his evil fathers puppet! I LIKED SHIKI! I wonder what Ichijou is going to do after seeing him like that.

I'm glad that Yuuki is finally acknowledging her memories, or lack thereof. The scene where she was bathing and suddenly the bathwater turned to blood was CREEPY. Very well done. I liked it.

The Association president was strange. He creeped me out. Obviously he wants Zero to kill Kaname, or at least cause problems for him. The whole association seems to be out to get Zero. Poor Zero. Nobody loves him. XD

Okay so Kaname HAS to have something to do with concealing Yuuki's memories. I'm not sure if it's COMPLETELY his doing, but he obviously knows more than he's telling. The scene where he told Aidou that his parents were murdered wasn't a huge surprise. I want to go deeper into the character's pasts. ALL of them.

More ZeroxYuuki scenes. So cute. The chemistry between Zero, and Yuuki is so ...sweet. I wish she would just forget about Kaname. XD I'm curious to see what happens once Yuuki actually STARTS to remember things. That has to be where this is leading. She can't stay in the dark forever.

Well I'm off now~.

I might post later tonight. Cat Street ended and I want to absorb the finale a bit more.

Happy Halloween!

I'm going to start off by saying "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!". I hope everyone has a awesome holiday.




My friends and I are going to a 'Fall Festival'. (Halloween thing, really. I get so tired of people wanting to CELEBRATE the holiday, but they won't own up to it. It's the 31st. It's a freaking Halloween party. If you wear costumes, and get candy. IT'S A HALLOWEEN PARTY. THANK YOU!) I wouldn't normally go to these things (I went last year for the same reason this year) but my friends asked me to go so I figured I would. Then after the festival we're coming back to my house and they're going to spend the night. =) I'm hoping we can finish the Nancy Drew game we started a couple months ago.

NOW- LAST NIGHT I WENT TO SEE ROCKY HORROR AGAIN!!! I spent a lot of time convincing my mom that we HAD to go again. I managed to win her over after I promised to pay for my own ticket. It was as much fun as the last time, and the highlight of the night....

HELL YES! I AM THAT AWESOME. Okay so I almost wimped out. My mom ended up being the one that asked if I could get a picture with him. I was shaking all over. XD I'M SO HAPPY THOUGH. EPIC WIN! EPIC WIN!

Now this pales in comparison, but I went to a Twilight book discussion on Tuesday. It was really cool. There weren't many people since it was super windy and rainy, but the people that DID show up were very nice. There was this 26 year old guy there who didn't like the book and pretty much hated the characters. He was REALLY funny along with the lady who leads us in our discussions. I think the best quote from the entire thing would be, "What would you do if some guy came up to you and said "YOU STINK SO GOOD, I LOVE YOU!" XDD

Now I'm going to go try to watch Vampire Knight Guilty 4 before I have to leave for this festival. I'll probably do a post about it tomorrow, or Sunday.

Ciao for now!

AMV making

I started that AMV today. I spent over 4 hours working on it. It's about a quarter done...not even that. I had a great time working on it though. (While whining to my friend when I'd get stuck. XD) I stopped now since my WMM kept freezing. I'll figure out THAT problem tomorrow. I'm too tired to deal with it now.

Vampire Knight Guilty 4 comes out tomorrow. Here's hoping it's subbed by Thursday. I really love that series. I'm ready to know what happens next!

There was a sudden update in Cat Street (manga) chapter scans. I really hope that manga gets translated and brought over to America. It caught my interest the minute Keito (lead character) started going to El Liston, a free school for kids who have lost their way. The manga is all about second chances, and how it's never too late as long as you're alive. It really hits home with how I feel about education so I'd like to see it come over. (It's the closest that I've seen a manga get to homeschooling/unschooling. At least out of the manga I've read.)

Still waiting for the next High School Debut scan. I'm waiting and dreading at the same time. I want to see what happens next, but I don't want the series to end. It's hovering there. The ending. I'll be sad when it's over.

Oh, and because of Shojo Beat (that magazine really isn't good for me. XD) I've taken an interest in Captive Hearts. The plot amuses me no end. We'll see if it continues to grasp my interest.

Just so you know, I DO read actual books. American books. (Not that they HAVE to be American.) xD I'm currently reading a book called "Suck it up" by Brian Meehl. I'm really enjoying it. It's full of laughs.

I'm tired.

Going to crash now.

Night.

Vampire Knight Guilty 3

I think this has to be one of my favorite episodes out of both seasons. I'm going to jump right in so time for the regular warning.

***VAMPIRE KNIGHT GUILTY SPOILERS***

• The best part of this episode, in my opinion, was getting to see Zero's less serious side. For majority of the series we see him being serious, angsty, and gentle. Maybe not in that order. XD

• One of the first scenes is Aidou trying to sneak into the male dorms. Yuuki's willing to hear him out but, of course, Zero wants to get rid of the stupid Vampire as soon as possible. (By force if necessary.) Zero threatening to tie Aidou up and Aidou FLEEING while yelling "CATCH ME IF YOU CAAAAAN~!" had me in complete giggle fits.

• Little Kaname was adorable. (He won my little screenshot spot.) You just want to hug him the whole time. Aidou was cute too, but such a little BRAT. XD Okay, so ALL the vampires were cute. I just thought Kaname was sweet when he asked if Aidou would be his friend.

• Oh, and Shiki's family. It was all very mysterious. My friend denies it, but I still say that kid is somehow related to him. I want to know more about both of them!

• Now, the highlight of the whole episode. ZEROXYUUKI SCENE!!!!! Zero somehow manages to make me feel warm, and fuzzy every episode. The entire scene is extremely sweet, and very sexy. There isn't really any other way to describe it. I liked that Yuuki acknowledged the fact that she wasn't afraid of Zero. Yet she admitted to herself that she was scared when he was drinking her blood. It sounds confusing but it makes sense if you watch the series.

• I loved the final line of the episode. "I won't let you become something like that. Even if I have to make Kuran Kaname my enemy, or be hated by you." It was a good way to end an episode.

I think the whole episode covered a lot. I'm psyched for the next one.

***END VAMPIRE KNIGHT GUILTY SPOILERS***

I've currently downloaded all the RAW episodes of Ouran. (Minus 22..since it's IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. T_T) I used to make Avatar the Last Airbender AMV's. I really miss it so I'm excited to get started again.

That's all for this post.

I'm out.

P.S. I added bullets this time since on my longer posts it tries to mash all the breaks together. Then it just looks like a huge block of text.

Rocky Horror

So I kept talking about it coming up, and finally it did. It was GREAT. All the actors did an amazing job, and their "Dr. Frank 'n furter" was too good. The HEELS he wore. He even RAN in them.

They had 'phantoms' dancing in the background, or on the sides during the whole thing. It was impossible to see EVERYTHING. So much was going on! The phantoms weren't just there for dancing. They were also human props. (I'm guessing that there was about a dozen of them.) They managed to form a car for Brad, and Janet. (Complete with air freshener, and window wiper), a creaky old door, and various other silly things.

I watched the movie on Wednesday night, and then tonight was the play. I'm going to say flat out that I found the play to be 100% better. I tend to always think that. I think a big part of it is the creativity they have to use in the play. They can't build a different set for each scene. They have to work with what they have. I'm also biased since I've seen around 8 plays there, and I can pick out which actors I've seen, and liked before. (They are all truly talented.)

You could also buy a bag full of goodies to use during the play. (There were certain moments to use a certain thing.) Like when Dr. F was singing "I will make you a man" you could blow bubbles, or throw streamers. We had party blowers, cards, and you even got a feather boa to wear. (Mine was blue! 8D)

I didn't cosplay from the movie, but I did dress up. Everything I was wearing was black, and my shirt had a huge sparkly skull and crossbones on it. (I love me my skulls) My mom sprayed my hair black, and blue. She put some sparkly silver eyeshadow on me, and then poked my eyes out with eyeliner. I also painted my nails black. (They're sloppy, and lumpy. XD FEAR MY AWESOME NAIL PAINTING SKILLS!)

There's so much to say about it. It was just a TON of fun. I want to go again!

It's even hard to pick out a favorite scene. I'm still absorbing it all. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight!

I think that's all I can manage to talk about for tonight. VKG 3 should be subbed by tomorrow. I need to go wash my hair so I don't stain all the furniture with hair dye.

P.S. Most of those men looked better in fishnets than I ever would. XD

Vampire Knight Guilty 2

I found the subbed episode of Vampire Knight Guilty 2 last night. Another good episode. We got to find out what was happening in the trailer when it looked like Kaname was going to bite her.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

I thought the episode was really good. That little boy, (whom I think might be related to Shiki. They appear to be very similar) you knew was going to be trouble. You think Yuuki would stop falling for the little kids. First the Level E Vampire with the balloon, and then she follows another one to a dilapidated building.

I love Zero's master. (He gets the screenshot spotlight this time!) He is one of my favorite characters in the series. His dry sense of humor compliments the Chairman's silliness perfectly. The fact that he got away with ruffling Zero's hair was great. "Yo, stupid apprentice." XD How can you NOT love that?

More of the mysterious Ichiru. The plot thickens. No idea whatsoever what he meant when he asked Zero "Do you know the curse of the twins?" So morbid.

Another dramatic scene. This time with Kaname, and Yuuki. I'm not sure what I think on the entire thing. I always feel like Kaname is talking down to Yuuki like she's still a child. Which in his eyes she is. So it makes the whole scene kind of awkward since I think he looks at her as a little kid. (The 5, or 6 year old he saved out in the snow.) Which is one thing my friend and I have discussed before. I did some research to find out how old Kaname REALLY is since we only know he's older than Yuuki. From what I found he's supposed to be 18. So he was either 7, or 8 when he saved her. I struggle to wrap my mind around that since he did not look that young. AT ALL. I know Vampires would mature more quickly, but still. That's pushing it. XD

It looks like Yuuki might FINALLY start getting some of her memories back. Which is exciting. Since she had that miniature flashback in the windowless room I ASSUME that's an old memory from her past. I'm ready for Yuuki to have something she can deal with on her own. Instead of having Zero, and Kaname come and save her all the time. I'm curious to see how she'll handle it.

Oh, one more thing. Ichijou, and Shiki are awesome. That is all.

***Vampire Knight Spoilers end here***

I would have posted this yesterday, but I was too tired. I went to hear Sarah Palin speak in the morning. (Which was really interesting, and actually fun once we were done standing in line.) Then I spent the rest of the day watching another anime. Yes, I'm an idiot. I started ANOTHER anime when I'm still trying to finish two other ones, and I have a friend bugging me to watch one she really likes. GO ME!

It's called Itazura na Kiss. (Translates: Mischievous Kiss) I ended up watching 6 episodes. XD People who liked LoveCom, and High School Debut liked it so I decided to check it out. It's pretty good. I don't think I'll get obsessed with it, but I DO want to finish it. It's only 25 episodes long so I think it's manageable. LAWL.

Now I'm going to go shower, draw, and hopefully figure out how to download this thing.

IT'S NOT COOPERATING WITH ME. D=

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Tonight was that presentation I posted about before. It was really cool. The actors did an awesome job. The whole thing had a lot of laughs, and it definitely had a spooky feel to it. The headless horseman was great. The horse was HUGE, and they had his head as a smiling jack o' lantern. Watching him chase Ichabod at the end was more entertaining than it should have been. Everyone was laughing, and screaming "RUN ICHABOD, RUN!"

I had a horrifying moment where I thought Ichabod was going to grab me, and drag me out to dance with him. He grabbed the little girl right next to me, whom (my mom pointed out to me later in the car, and I felt like an idiot) was obviously going to be part of it since she was wearing this fancy white dress. All I know was they already picked on me in the other room, and he was COMING RIGHT AT ME. XD DO NOT WANT!

So all in all, it was an amazingly fun night. Besides feeling like a complete doofus for freaking out for NO REASON.

The 23rd we go see "Rocky Horror". I'm excited, and nervous for it. I'm not exactly sure what to expect. xD We shall see, I suppose.

Vampire Knight Guilty 2 should be subbed by now, but it's too late for me to watch. I have to get up at 6:00 in the morning tomorrow. I'll have to watch it later in the day.

Going to go die now.

Ciao.

Vampire Knight Guilty 1!

OK, I know. A week since I posted. I don't know what my problem is. I'm getting better with dealing with my laziness. I'm hoping I can completely kill it soon. The start of Vampire Knight Guilty came out last Tuesday. It was subbed by I believe Thursday. Maybe Friday. I just re watched a better quality version of the first episode, and I have to say I think they started it off pretty well. Episode 2 came out today. Should be subbed later this week!

Okay so time to rant. If you haven't read the manga, or watched season 1, and started season 2. Don't. Read. This. Unless you don't mind spoilers.

Kaname makes it almost impossible for me to like him. At all. His whole personality annoys me. Let alone the constant getting under Zero's skin. It probably doesn't help that I'm a ZeroxYuuki fan, and I like Zero 10x more than Kaname.

The animation DEFINITELY changed. Yuuki's eyes were big before, but now they resemble plates. XD NOBODY will EVER beat Tohru from Fruits Basket, but I hope they don't keep changing the style. I love the animation in the first season. Why must they change a good thing?

New opening, and ending are AWESOME. Especially the opening. (It's where I got my crappy low quality screenshot of Zero with his awesome gun the 'Bloody Rose'. ) I love the scene with Yuuki in the woods. It's just really cool.

I almost had a fit when Zero had his nightmare about him killing Yuuki. Then he almost KISSES HER. AAH. THEN HE DOESN'T. WHY. WHY WHY WHY. THAT WAS TORTURE. He's so sweet though. The whole scene with him hugging her brings warm, and fuzziness.

Alright, I think I'm done rambling about Vampire Knight. I'm excited to get deeper into the series. Then the real speculation comes out.

On a completely different topic- Chapter 46 of High School Debut (AKA, KouKou Debut) was released, and translated. I love love love that series. I enjoyed the new chapter. Seeing Yoh, and Asami's relationship together was nice since I always wondered about it. Yoh never seemed especially fond over his younger sister. Assa never really showed she cared overly much till chapter 45. Well besides when Yoh got sick, but even then she dumped him on Haruna for most of the day. XD So yeah, good chapter. Very cute. I'm sad the series is coming to an end. =(

Friday is the Sleepy Hollow presentation! Woot woot!

And to quote my brother "Love, peace, and chicken grease!"

Quick update

It has now been 1 month since I started this blog. Already. WOW.

Vampire Knight Guilty came out YESTERDAY. I'm hoping that the sub will be released by tomorrow. PLEASE LET IT BE RELEASED BY TOMORROW.

My mom, and I had been watching all the seasons of Monk. We watched up to season 6, and now we're waiting for season 7 to come out on DVD. So in the meantime we started the British series "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries". (We love British television) I think the series is pretty cool. I kind of want to read the books to see if anything changed when they made the show. It seems rare for me to have a favorite American show anymore. I love Monk, and I also enjoy the different Law and Order series. That's about it.

I don't have much to say in this post. I'm still planning on doing a "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World" post. Currently I have been feeling extremely lazy. I'm hoping to kill this slump soon.

Well, my friend is pestering me to go paint chat with her.

Adios!

October updates

I'm going to start this by saying -- 2 more days till Vampire Knight Guilty! Well 3, or 4 if you count the time needed to sub the first episode. Still, less than a week!

Tuesday my friend, and I had FINALLY started taking yoga classes once again. It felt like we were never going to get there. I really liked the place, but we're switching to Thursday mornings when we can get our preferred instructor back. The new woman was nice, but she went a little too fast for us.

October 17th I'm going to a "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" presentation. That will be cool. I'm looking forward to it. I really enjoyed reading the story, and who WOULDN'T like seeing the headless horseman?

Then I THINK October 23rd (somewhere around there) I'm going to see the play "Rocky Horror Show" with my mom, and her friend. I am REALLY excited for that. It looks like it will be a blast, and HILARIOUS.

In other news my need to get Time Hollow soon has disappeared. I'll get it later. When I KNOW I have the money. I decided last night to do more research on "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World," and I was having a major spazz attack. It's coming out November 11th. NOVEMBER 11th!! I thought it was going to be in JANUARY, or somewhere around there. Not only did I find out the date I also saw more footage, and more information about the game in general.

Along with finding the whole opening -



Tales of Symphonia was my favorite game till I started playing the Ace Attorney games last September. I still love it more than any gamecube game I've ever played. So I have been waiting for a sequel for over 2 years. It looks AMAZING. However I don't like Lloyd's new voice actor. I'll live with it. It was just a disappointment to hear him. I'll probably make a post ONLY about ToS: DOTNW in a couple days. This makes me want to replay Tales of Symphonia yet again. (That would be the sixth time. I have put over 100 hours of gameplay into that game. )

Now I'm going to go spend the rest of my Saturday reading, and drawing. I'm too lazy to spend it outside even though it's a lovely day out. Hopefully it will be a nice day tomorrow too. I really do love October.

Peace!

Vampire Knight Guilty, and some other stuff

So like I said I decided to post the second season trailer up:





Every time I watch it I get more excited! I found another video (without the translations so I'm not going to put it here) with some other clips from season 2 in it. It looks great. I'll probably read the manga after the anime ends. Just because I don't like to ruin it for myself while I'm watching the series. (Especially if I'm watching the series with someone else.)

In other news - MY PHOENIX WRIGHT GRAPHIC NOVEL CAME YESTERDAY!!! YESTERDAY!! Here I was thinking I'd have to wait till Monday, and I wake up to my mom waving a package in my face. I've read the first 3 stories in it, and I'll probably go read more after I finish this entry. I like that each story is written, and drawn by someone else. I'm fond of a lot of the art styles, but there are a few that I don't care for. It's nice to see the different takes on Phoenix, and the gang.

The Edgeworth case files comes out in February which will be fun. I'll hold that excitement off for a couple months. HA!


Oh, and one more thing. I was in a parade on Wednesday night. I volunteered to hand out flyers for the library. It was a lot of fun. I'm extremely glad I got the chance to do it. Our group was great, and I'm so happy to have gotten to volunteer with them. Thanks you guys for the great time!
