Mad Scientists, ToK and Cosplay

So, I have a high attraction to nerdy, mad scientist like men. In anime and in real life. Which is a good thing I guess, nerdy men tend to be nice and will be able to treat you well later in life. Mad scientists can be a bit crazy (A bit?) but I can't seem to hate them, even if they are complete bastards.

Working on my ToK essay... basically slow going, even if I'm almost finished. Only have about a third of a paragraph and the conclusion left. Everything in this essay sounds so... ninth grade and I despise it.

But on to the more important topic of tonight, (which isn't that important, I just haven't posted in like... 2 days) Cosplay:
The cosplays I have planned... lets see. Cloud, Squall, Neku, Link, Hibari, Zexion and possibly Lightning (if i stop hating myself)
I love how cosplay is my thinspiration (though its not working that well heh.)
I found my Ocarina, which kinda motivates me to want to do Link even more...

Oh well, thats my ranting for today. i really need to find all the pictures Nicole has drawn for me over the year and scan them to put them on here.

Tehatchapi, Indie and The Living Art Show

You know, that is more than likely spelled wrong, (I honestly didn't realize 'spelt' was not a word...)

Oh yes, Indiana Jones on Friday was amazing. There were 17 of us there. That's a new record. Let's see... Jew, Michael(Jew's Brother), Woody, Dakota, Smity, Paige, Taylor(Paige's Sister), Brendan, Caitlin, Autumn, Nikki, Margarita, Webster, Lisa(I did NOT expect her father to look like that), Michelle, Prances and Myself.

The living art show... Not much I can say about it. It was pretty alright all and all. After some stressful times it got all set up and went through all right (though I did have to reduce my speech)
My speech went from: "What do you think of when you think of death? Probably not bountiful fields of grain, but believe it or not there is a connection. This is The Veteran in a New Field by the American Painter Winslow Homer. It was painted in the wake of the Civil War with the suffering and destruction still fresh in America's mind. Homer himself was a veteran of that war, giving it a very personal undertone. The man in the painting is a veteran, who has seen death up close and personal. He carries a scythe, which is traditionally paired with the image of death, but is also a vital tool of harvest and regrowth. By juxtaposing these conflicting meanings in one man, Homer sought to portray the sense of recovery after the polarizing war."

To this: "This is the Veteran in a New Field by the American Painted Winslow Homer. It was painted in the wake of the Civil War with the suffering and destruction still fresh in America's mind. The man in the painting is a veteran of that war. He carries a scythe, which is traditionally paired with the image of death, but is also a vital tool of harvest and regrowth. Homer sought to portray the sense of recovery after the polarizing war."
This all spoken in a really rushed manner. I Also managed to memorize Nikki and Zachass' speeches by standing next to them. (covered for Nikki when she went to give out snacks).

After the show Nikki and I hung out with Hutch and LeBeau for a bit. Fun times.

So I had to run to Kerwin's house two times on Saturday, Once to drop of The Stranger and the other time to pick up a cord to get my PS2 to work.

Went to other house around 5ish, got back around 1ish, that's the least amount of time I've ever been up there I swear.

On the way home I had a weird conversation with the checkout guy (who had to be at least 5 years older than me) while I was getting a slurpee.

Him: "Is that all for the beautiful Lady?"
Me: "mmhmm" (not paying attention)
Him: Some weird comment about liking my hair and it fitting me.
Me: some crack about it being blue and going swimming too much.
Him: "Have a... Beautiful day."
Me: "back at 'cha"
Then I proceeded to go to the door and try to pull open the doors when you're supposed to push, Whoops. Next time I go in there I think I'll bring my brother in with me.

I was more exhausted when I woke up then when I went to sleep, bleh.

-Peace

Oh yes, Finished my World Lit. Sartre and Kafka are now my bitches. Just have the ToK essay left.

Death Note, Awesomeness, and Sleepy

Last Night I saw The Death Note movie in Theaters. Saw it with Nikki, Chelle (Who Bought me the ticket, Love), Grace, Woody, Jack and his girlfriend. I was carded for the Third time in the past week.
Oh My, There were so many L Fangirls. Me being one of course. The screaming when he showed up was amazing.
I Must admit, Light was Hot. And a Pretty good Actor
A few Shots of some of the Scenes. Overall I liked it. I wish they would have just subbed it instead of Dubbed but whatever. The 'making of' after was epic and I'll have to see the second one in theaters too. Ryuk was Amazing.



Woody Brought up a good point today, People don't tell each other they're awesome enough anymore. So here, have this picture and... You're Awesome.

I am STILL exhausted. Even though I've been taking naps all week and going to bed earlier than normal. It's been going on like this all week. Unfortunately I have to go to Tahatchapi this weekend so I cant sleep constantly, As i need to work on Cloud.

-Peace

Quotes

So I read through the first two Wild Adapter books again and pulled some quotes.

-"Come on, old man. Even if I was cheating, you're still a loser for not catching me at it. Those are the rules of the world, right?"

-"It was him or me, and I always choose me."

-"Well, skill alone won't help you in a fighting game, They're simulations, You know? What will your opponent do next? How will he counter your attack? If you can figure out his habits and timing and move based on that, you'll win, right? Whether it's Mahjong, cards, or a boxing match, it's the same thing. Because you're playing a human, your opponent has a personality. He's objective, emotional. So... That's why I'm not good at games like pachinko where there's no human opponent."

-"The more human we become, the more animalistic we are."

-"If you're going to put your hand on someone else's snake, you can't complain when you get bitten."

- -"So do you fear women... Or hate them?"
-"Neither, I'm just not interested in them."
-"Then what about men?"
-"Not particularly."
-"People?"
-"Not particularly."

-"This Makoto Kubota had no logic to him, I thought. Interested in nothing, yet fiercely curious about everything. Acts like he doesn't care, but with so much desire in his eyes. Only caring for himself, but completely masochistic. Needing nothing, clinging to everything. Chaos existing inside tight order... all those fevered colors merging into black... and disappearing."

-"His personality is... unknown."

-"Two big-time yakuza, digging a hole in a park at sunset... I wonder how that looked to people passing by."

-"The important decisions, we make instantaneously."

Other Quotes that were on my MSN...

-"Human lives were all dreams. They started and ended and started again like an endless loop in which lives were meaningless."

-"There is no reason to mourn the gone bright sky when we can dye the color we desire ourselves."

I've always thought someones favorite quotes reflected on their personality, Whatever...

I'll add more randomly to other posts

-Peace

Wild Adapter

Birthday Tomorrow. Can not wait.

Today I bought the 5th Volume to my Current Favorite Manga


By the same person who did Saiyuki, Another extremely Epic Manga. So this Post is Dedicated to Her works.

Ones I've read- Honey Comb, Bus Gamer, Saiyuki and Wild Adapter (as well as the AU spinoff of WA, Executive Committee).

I needa go fishing through all my Manga By Her. (Currently have Wild Adapter 1-5, Saiyuki 1-9, and Saiyuki Reload 1-6. Need Bus Gamer) She has pretty epic quotes in her manga.

Chryystal still has Saiyuki 1 and 2, might have to nom her face off if I don't get those back...

From Honey Comb, Eye patches are Following me...
Don't know who this is... But I approve

Bus Gamer Boys.

Surprisingly from the four or five artbooks by Kazuya I have on my computer none of them have any Wild Adapter Fanart. How disappointing.


The One Picture I can find on my computer.

-Love.

Motivation

So, I'm actually motived to do my art project. (A new one, I'm going to do the Nero arm in class for participation credit and to help out Justin, and will turn in with him if i don't get this one done.)

The unfortunate part is that I was gonna use a picture of Nikki as my base picture to work on, but I don't have one in the right pose I need, and my camera is dead, so alas. I'll probably have to find a different thing to use if I want to start this tonight.

I'm thinking of using some of the very dramatic tunnel pictures from the visit to the aqueduct I took with Grace. That might work out just fine.

In other news, The first part of our chem final was today, I think I did alright. And I also think I've got Mrs. Lebeau the first to postpone our math final until next week, which is an amazing thought because that means I will only have 2 Finals this week instead of 3, though I will be testing every day.

I found my wrapped presents in the Toy Room today, I most definitely want to open them and see what they are.

3 More days!

Need to start tormenting my mom to exercise more again.

-'nuff ranting for now, Peace

End note: Nikki! You'll do fine on your AP test tomorrow, So will Margarita. You guys should both stop stressing. Go to bed before 12 or I'll have to run over to your house and kick your ass. Lebeau said so.

Movies and Pictures

So Mary Poppins is on... And I'm watching it. Must say, It's very corny. Especially the graphics.

A random quote that makes me smile: "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it."

I watched a movie called The First Wives Club today, it was actually really funny, I'd watch it again.

I've decided around Halloween this year I'm just gonna sit around and watch Horrorfest all day, so many horror movies. All i need is my popcorn and some soda and I'll be good.

Watching Iron Man with Chinese Subtitles, odd.

So, I slept for 13 hours on Friday to Saturday, at least 9 hours on Saturday to Sunday... and I'm still exhausted, not fair.

So Grace and I went exploring around the Aqueduct last week, and we got some pictures. Thought I'd share them.


Dramatic Walking Pictures are Dramatic.


Grace Kept taking pictures of me at the most random times. How do I shot web?


I look like a Man... ah well, such is life.

Chem, Garfield, Neku and Random

5 days until my birthday.

Nikki Was Over Teaching me chem today... She used my tablet so I got copies of the chem notes she decided to write. If anyone wants to try to decipher these, you can heh.







I was messing with my tablet, so have a very crappy drawing of Neku... Didn't feel like drawing hands... I hate Hands.


Random Garfield Constructor comic on 4chan the other day, forgot to save the link but I liked this one. I got


Watching Raiders of the Lost Arc on USA, good movie, not really paying attention though.

My art Projects going to be kickass... I'm making Nero's arm (hopefully)

-Later

Speed Racer

This Movie was Quite Possible one of the most epic movies in existence.

Racer X was Hot, I mean... His Ass was Amazing.




Rain was gorgeous, and Is gorgeous.... Though I wish there was more shots of the hot guy with white hair.

People who saw it with me... Nikki, Jew, Jew's Family, Woody, Prances, and Kerwin.

Enough ranting, as that movie gave me a headache.

- Peace 6 Days Until my Birthday

Photo Editing

Is it sad that I waited until Midnight so I didn't blog twice in the same day? I think it is, but anyway... to the point.
I found out that photobucket has an editing program in it now, allowing you to do all sorts of effects with it. So i took a picture that I actually liked of me and messed with it.

The original, other than fixing red eye:

Blueprint: I think it's sad that I thought I could change the color of this...

Neon: Was red, changed to green

Popart: My Favorite

Heat:
I could somehow incorporate this into my Art workbook, glee!

There is an unfortunate lack of text in this post, so I'll tack on some more.

I'm Chaotic Neutral (I guess 'strongly Chaotic Neutral' if you Wiki it)
The quiz: http://64.223.12.31/dnd/article2.asp?x=dnd/dx20001222x \

"Chaotic Neutral is called the "Anarchist" or "Free Spirit" alignment. A character of this alignment is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, shirks rules and traditions. They typically act out of self-interest, but do not enjoy seeing others suffer. Many adventurers are of this alignment.
An unusual subset of Chaotic Neutral is "strongly Chaotic Neutral", describing a character who behaves chaotically to the point of appearing insane. Characters of this type may regularly change their appearance and attitudes for the sake of change, and intentionally disrupt organizations for the sole reason of disrupting a Lawful construct."
-Wikipedia

Also, I'm a bit Neutral evil.

You might have to click the thumbnail for an actual view.

-So it's 12:06 and sleep time now, or in about half an our, Peace out. 9 Days left

Texas

I came across pictures from my vacation in Texas, So i thought I'd post a few.

Otters are so cute!


Owlie!


This Lion was ANNOYED, could hear him all the way from our hotel.


My brother asked me to take this picture, it amused me.


Also, A picture of my nerd shelf, about 2 months ago. It definitely doesn't look that way anymore, really messy, more things needed to be added,
re-alphabatize my manga. That stuff.

In other news... I'm off to see Iron Man again tomorrow with Nikki, Paige, Grace, Webster and Woody (The only ones we know for sure are Nikki and Woody...) and then Taco Tuesday at my house right after.

Mothers day is on the 11th, I need to figure out what I'm going to get my mom. I talked her into buying me Harold and Kumar go to White Castle today, and a new PS2 memory card of my very own. Still hoping for that PS3 for my birthday.

We're reading No Exit in English, so far I like the play, Estelle's a bit bitchy though, Garcin is too wordy and the Valet is only there for 10 pages... I think I'll play the lesbian, even if it means I'll have to flirt with who plays Estelle.

-10 days until my birthday, Happy cinco de mayo everybody.

Plans

Over the summer Woody and I have decided to dedicate weeks to Hot Actors.
So Far we have :
David Tennant
David Bowie
Robert Downey Jr.
John Cusack

We need at least one more, or else we'll have an anime week I guess.

I need to go to England this summer. In July, for this reason:
Photobucket David Tennant is Playing Hamlet. Amazing

Also, Proof that women are attracted to men who look like their fathers (I haven't found one looking like my dad yet):
Photobucket If You've seen Woody's Father, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, That's David Tennant

On other news, I finished The World Ends With You yesterday, well, the main story at least. It was an amazing game, only think I could even think to complain about would be that there is only one save file, which isn't a huge issue.

Photobucket And another Robert Downey Jr. Picture
Robert Downey Jr. Can SING, It's amazing, I got his CD on my iPod

-Peace

First Post

Hmmm... I've Started A Blog... Most Interesting.
The font in this is rather boring.

Today was epic. Not that school was epic, far from it actually, but right after school was epic.

We (Prances, Smity, Woody, Autumn, Jew and I) went to see Iron Man at 4:50, where I discovered my new obsession: Robert Downey Jr.
PhotobucketPhotobucket
Woody And I spent the entire time in that movie fangirling over him.

After that we went to round table pizza, where the really bad puns and sexual innuendos started.
Woody told me to pull out a hair that was sticking straight up and I kept saying no, and she kept telling me to pull it out. so i told her she'd never say that to Robert Downey Jr. and after laughing hysterically for 5 minutes she high fived me and there was spit on her hand, ewwww.

I found out today that the movies are showing the Death Note Movie on the 20th and 21st, I think I'll go on the 20th, less people likely to go on a Thursday.

So many good movies are coming out soon. Speed Racer, Incredible Hulk, Hell Boy 2, Mike Myers and Adam Sandler movies.

Thanks to Kerwin for the Blog name
