And I'm back, from outer space!...I wish, but back nonetheless!

My oh my has the past month been busy, sorry I haven't been able to write, though things are finally starting to clear up enough that I'll be able to continue on writing some more blogs, even if there are just a select few readers out there. I'm not exactly sure where to start to be honest, though I guess I've got to start somewhere so I might as well just choose a spot and go on from there.

 I do have some rather bad news, within the past month, my great grandmother did pass away, she was 83 years old and went out real peacefully, she's in a better place now, and I'll bet she's enjoying herself. Some relatives of mine came into town to visit my grandmother and to make sure she was doing alright with all that was going on, both of my aunts from my mother's side, and then a bit later my uncle from my mother's side as well, it was real nice to see them all again. I also got to see my aunt's new baby Miya, she's so cute and adorable, though she really hates taking a bath, for now at least. On the subject of relatives, I may be visiting one or both of my aunts later on during the year, possibly during the summer to spend some time over there with them and as well as with my uncles and cousins, I'm really looking forward to it if I do.

Sunday night I hung out with some friends, it was pretty fun, it was Pat, Collin, Jon, Jordan and I. For the first hour we kind of just sat around in Hayley's garage chatting to her some, but soon left and headed over to Pat's house. We were pretty bored over there for quite a while, and then decided to watch a movie on his Xbox 360, but we had a slight problem, we were missing the controllers because apparently they left them over at someone else's house, which bummed us out a bit. So we decided to text some friends to see if they had any controller we could borrow, but no one did. We then realized that he had a DVD player in his up-stairs living room, so we went and got that, plugged it in and we had quite a few movies to watch, though we only watched one, which was The Human Centipede, I honestly thought that movie was going to be a lot better than it was, in my opinion, that was quite a crappy movie and a waste of my time, it had a few good laughs, but totally not worth it. Since we had some down-time in between figuring out we had no controllers for the Xbox to watch the movie with and realizing we had a DVD player, Jon fell asleep out of boredom, so he fell asleep at around midnight or 1 in the morning. After the movie we kind of sat around for a little bit just chatting, then decided to go out to the gas station to pick up a few things, and refill Collin's truck with some gas while we were at it, then headed back over to Pat's place and hung out there for a little bit more, though Collin went to bed shortly after and we borrowed his truck to go back up to the gas station since we forgot something, headed on back then watched some videos on youtube while Jordan fell asleep, then I fell asleep, and Pat kind of went to bed as we were leaving the next evening at 2pm. 

After that, Jon and I hung out with James for a little bit before heading over and visiting our uncle that was in town who was staying at our grandma's and grandpa's place, it was pretty fun, whenever some other family is in town we always play cards for quite a while, almost like a tradition, I just love it. We stayed til about midnight that day then went home, although the next day we went up to visit again and of course like always, got into playing cards, though I'm not complaining, I love playing cards with them, I don't remember how late we stayed that night but it was pretty late again as well. The next day, Wednesday, we went up to visit him again since he leaves 10 in the morning on Thursday, but because he had to get up so early we only stayed until about 9:30pm then headed on home, I packed my things up from my mom's place and headed on home after we got to her place.

Since my schedule has been freeing up quite a bit the past few days, I decided to redo the design on my blog page, and I must say I am rather happy with the end results, looks a lot better than what it looked like before. And if you can tell by the new design of my blog profile, I have found a new anime to be obsessed with, but before that, I did finish Sora no Otoshimono: Forte and MM!, I am very happy and satisfied with the endings from both series and they are definitely ones I'll be watching again sometime soon. I picked up a series called "Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi", I thought it would be somewhat better, but I still like the series and am looking forward to watching some more after the long busy month I've had, I last left on episode 6 out of 12 and I know I'll have to re-watch episode 6 so I remember what was going on in the series before going on with newer episodes. For the first time my friend Pat got me into an anime series instead of me getting him into one, it's called "Bleach", very, very, very long series, I believe it's up to it's 316th episode so far, but I'm only on episode 15, but I'll make sure that I catch up someday. I'm really hooked onto Bleach right now, so far it's a great series, and my favorite character by far from there is Rukia Kuchiki, I just love her, she's so adorable and cute in my opinion, I was going to watch some more episodes of Bleach tonight but I had some things to catch up on since I've been gone for quite a while so I couldn't get the chance to, but I am very much looking forward to watching quite a lot more episodes of Bleach later today when I wake up.

I love spring, and I really love that it's finally here, but there's something I don't like that comes along with spring, tornado season. I absolutely hate tornadoes, luckily so far there hasn't been too many, though it's still quite early into spring so there may be many more to come. On the subject of disasters, I really hope Japan gets better and wish them all the luck they can get. ♥

Well I think it's time to conclude this entry, I doubt that all my entries will be this long again if I do decide to do them pretty frequently since not much really goes on in my life, but I'll write nonetheless. As always, I'll leave a link at the bottom for any new anime I've introduced in-case any select few of you readers are interested, thanks for reading. :)

For him, pain is pleasurable

For once I actually decided to stay home this weekend, mainly because I just didn't feel like going anywhere when it was Saturday. I was hanging out with Pat on Friday, he also watches episodes with me which I enjoy quite a bit, also apparently he isn't moving which also made me happy, he's a good friend so I'm glad he's staying. Pat is weird yet hilarious, he found an open bag of nacho cheese Doritos somewhere that had been open for about 3 months and still ate them, I mean those must have been super stale by then, though he didn't seem to have a problem with it. He never seems to really care if something is expired or not, though he does take extra precautions after one time, he found some expired microwavable Chinese food at his house one day and decided to cook it up and eat it, though the thing had been expired for about 3 to 4 years, but that didn't stop him, after that he was sick for about a week or two and would throw up quite a lot, as much as it sucked he found it hilarious, and so did all of us, that was about a year or two ago.

After doing a render in photoshop of Kallen Stadtfeld I decided to make a signature of it and found out how to do actions in photoshop which kind of spiced the signature up a little bit. For the past week I've kind of been in a craze for Kallen, she has always been a character I like, she's really cute and pretty, so I found two more renders of her and made two more signatures of her so I have three in total at the moment, the third one I really like and I think I'll end up using it somewhere.

I was checking some threads in a forum yesterday and found out that the ending single album 7, ending single album 8, and OST album of Amagami SS were out, and since my friend hadn't uploaded them onto youtube, I figured I would for him, I usually upload openings/endings for him at times to his account when he's not feeling up to it, since I rather enjoy it at times as well, although with all the songs I had to upload and type in info for yesterday it made me hand hurt a little, there were 3 each from both the ending single albums then 33 from the official soundtrack album, it took a while but I eventually got them all uploaded.

I finally finished Strawberry Panic a couple days ago, and I really thought it was going to end without something happening but at the very last minute the thing I wanted to happen, happened, which made me incredibly happy, I love the outcome of it all. I had also started Sora no Otoshimono: Forte a little before I had finished Strawberry Panic, though I've only watched two episodes so far, it's still pretty hilarious, just like the first season was, and the new angeloid they sent down on the second episode, Delta, is cute, seems somewhat clumsy, and is pretty funny, I'm going to enjoy watching more episodes of the second season. Since I had finished Strawberry Panic, I decided to start up another anime that I've been looking to watch, called MM!, basically it's about Sado Tarou, he suffers from sexual masochism; he experiences sexual pleasure from pain. He feels he won't ever have a normal relationship with his condition and decides to visit the Voluntary Club, a place that grants students' wishes, for a cure. At the club, he finds Isurugi Mio, a girl who thinks she is a god, and Yuno Arashiko, the girl who caused his condition in the first place. I started watching it last night and am four episodes in so far, it is sooo funny, I can tell already this is a series I'll be re-watching quite a bit, and I just love the characters as well.

I would have written this before I went to bed in the morning but I had a pretty bad headache so I decided to just go to bed and do it when I wake up. I figured unless something happens that gives me a lot to write about I might just end up doing a blog once a week, possibly on Wednesdays. Anyways I think this about sums it all up, thanks for reading.

Random fun on New Year's Eve

Sorry I didn't write over the weekend, though in all honesty I probably won't write much during the weekends anyways since that's the time when I usually visit my mom until Monday. I should have written a blog on Friday though I kind of just got too tired to want to write it all up, so I just headed to bed without writing one. I'm very happy to see that over the weekend it didn't snow one bit, though there are still bits of ice on the roads in neighborhoods but other than that it's great out there, now if only the weather would heat up a bit. I can't wait until Spring comes so all this ice and snow will stop.

It was a great weekend, for some reason after finding out about some things on Fable 3 I was stuck to it for quite a while this weekend playing it. My last game story on Fable 3 wasn't too well, I had to end up breaking their promises to get enough money to fund the army to defend the kingdom, so my character took the role of a tyrant, which made me character look a bit more villain-ish which I wasn't too fond of. Though I did figure out a trick this time around on how to get enough money to fund the army and while keeping the promises I made with the others so that my character didn't turn out to be a tyrant. One decision as the Queen on there I do regret making though on that story, I chose to remove the drinking limits but I didn't know how bad it would be, going around town seeing every other person drunk and throwing up on the streets, I should have just kept the drinking limit the same as when Logan was King. Other than that I've had quite my share of Fable 3 this weekend and it was quite fun.

About a week ago when I visited my Mom's house I had only brought one anime DVD for myself to watch, and quickly found that to be a mistake, when the others were busy doing other things, I would watch the DVD, but I finished it quite quickly. So last weekend I came prepared, I brought 3 anime DVD's with me as well as volume 1 of my favorite manga to read, which I didn't end up reading since I just watched anime in the free time. The anime DVD's I brought along were Kanon (2006), the complete collection of Trigun, and "The Most Awesomeest Collection" of School Rumble, which includes the first season, second season, and the extra class OVA's. For Saturday I had watched Trigun since it's been a while since I saw that, I really like Vash, his kind and gentle nature yet how serious he can be when he needs to be. Though I only got to about episode 9 before I stopped to do some Fable 3. For Sunday I watched the first 4 episodes of season one of School Rumble, I just love that series, especially Harima, I think he's cute and awesome. If you're into the school, slice-of-life, comedy, romance series then I do suggest watching School Rumble, I think it's great. I never did get the chance to watch some of Kanon (2006) though I'll do that some other time, for now I think I'll re-watch Trigun and both seasons with the OVA's of School Rumble.

One thing I really enjoy is the fact that my Mom watches anime with me so I always bring up new series seeing which she'd like to see, I'm currently showing her the K-ON series, she's finished with the first and so I'm watching the second season with her, I've been meaning to re-watch the K-ON series so this was just great when she picked it out. The weekend before last weekend we had watched up to episode 5, though we had to hook the laptop up to the TV screen for a big view since for some reason the program I use to burn MKV files with their subtitles isn't exactly putting the subtitles on them, my guess is that they made it so you have to go with the Pro version and pay them for the subtitles to work, though to me that's just a waste of $35 when I could just download the episodes to the laptop and hook it up to the TV to show her, though I do have to find a better way to get the sound coming out, for now all I have is it coming out of the laptop's speakers at 100% volume on the computer and up to about 125% volume on the VLC media player which ends up being a tad loud, but it sounds good to me. We had only gotten to watch up to episode 7 this weekend instead of what we were planning on going to, 10, because of some computer/network issues that was getting on everyone's nerves, so we just quite at 7 for this time and will be going on from there next weekend.

A good friend of mine, Pat, that I've known since high school that I would hang out with quite a lot is moving sometime soon to Oklahoma because of family reasons and he'll be going to college while he's there is what I've heard from him, though he says once he's done with college he will come back since he has quite a few friends over here. There's no exact date as to when he is moving, all I know is it is sometime soon. He is the one that would always have everyone over for New Year's parties and such, last year's New Year's Eve party was just great, besides myself there were 2 other people there along with Pat, Jon and Collin. One of the highlights of that night for me was when Pat, Collin, and I went up to Walmart at about 11pm, Jon didn't go because he decided to take a little nap while  we were gone. Though we had gotten in Collin's truck to go up to  Walmart and he had started driving only for us to find that there was a thin layer of frost and ice on the windshield so we were driving almost blind for about half the way there, it was a bit scary though it was so much fun, we were all laughing and making jokes. Not to mention when we got up to Walmart once we had gotten the things we needed, which we didn't need anything we just went up there to get random snacks for the night, we just kind of wandered around inside for a little bit, looking and checking out random things in there just for the fun of it. We stayed there til it was about 11:55pm I'd say and when we were at the check-out we decided to hurry up and try to get back at the house by midnight, and being New Year's Eve with quite a lot of people drinking and what not probably wasn't the safest idea since there would be more cops out than usual, though we did it anyways and it was fun, we made it back by the time it was midnight to my surprise. All of that was the highlight of my night during last year's New Year's Eve party at his place, there's a lot more to that night though I'm not going to go on about the entire night, that would take quite a while to write, but it was a really fun night hanging out with all of them.

Well, I just thought I should write one for most of what I did on my weekend since I didn't write at all this weekend, there will still be one tonight with how today goes. I'm not sure if I'm going to choose to write ones on the weekends or not, I might and might not. Anyways I've got a few things to do so I'll wrap this one up, thanks for reading.
