i hate summer. even tho its not summmer, i know its gonna be. well, its not that i hate summer, its just its boring. sometimes it gets too hot, i can see any of my friends in school, theres nothing to do, etc... Thats becuz im home all day. doing stuff for the entire day, instead of just the normal 3 hours becuz i go to school, u kinda run out of stuff to do. thus, gettting bored. thusly, i hope i can get a job this summer.

03.28.05 (3:56 pm) [edit][BG] "Everything. All is mine. Everything that you have done, you have done because i wanted you to. I allowed you to. You think you have free will? Only one will is free. MINE. Mine is the such that reigns over all others. It is heard. It is understood. It is followed. There are no other alternatives."
[R] "Ha. You're all talk. Anything you say is just intimidation. Ive known too many people like yourself. They like to bluff when they know they have little chance of survival."
[BG] "Oh, really? Then tell me, Raru. Tell me what you know. What you [i]think[/i] you know. The things you know, i know, because i've let you know. Do you think I'd let anyone oppose me? I have a hand in everything. Everything, and [i]anything[/i]."
[R] "What i KNOW is that whatever you were planning to do, is gonna be ended by me and my friends!"
[BG] "Don't make me laugh! You don't even know what ive been doing? I know everything you've been doing. All about you and your plan... and your so called 'friends'. But do you? DO you even know what you're doing? As i have already said, your plan is mine. Your actions are mine. Your friend, is mine..."
TO BE CONTINUED!!! lol, hopefully in one of the many volumes of manga i plan to write. let me know what you think, all criticisim welcome!
note: [R] stands for Raru, the main character. [BG] stands for bad guy, cuz he dont got a name yet
Howl's Moving Castle
03.27.05 (3:07 pm) [edit]howls moving castle!!!!
so, this girl sophie is a hatmaker and lives with her mom and sisters. she forces herself to be mature all of the time, missing out on festivals with her family and such just to do work. one day, she meets a mysterious man who saves her from 2 rude police officers trying to ask her out. the man tells her to "play along" as they walk down the ally, and that he is being followed. as they continue walking strange creatures start to follow them in large numbers, and suddenly they start walking on the air. after the danger is past, she cant seem to stop thinking about this man. soon after, a large woman enters the shop after closing, and refuses to leave. she casts a spell on sophie (a curse, if u please), causing her to become an old woman. knowing she cannot live as she is now, she sets forward to find a way to break the curse, and stumbles upon a large, walking castle. this castle is owned by Howl, incredibly powerful and well feared wizard. in order to stay, she claims herself to be a cleaning lady. this is an excellent story of magic and romance, drama and war, and how to be true to yourself. one of miyazki's best. and the animation is none too short of Unbelievable.

03.26.05 (5:14 pm) [edit]i saw howl's moving castle!!! holy bejeezus it was so awesome one of the greatest movies i have ever seen along with 3-iron (read below)

3-Iron
03.25.05 (8:11 pm) [edit]i just watched an excellent, excellent movie. it was called 3-iron
a drifter with nothing but his motorcycle goes from house to house taping flyers to the keyholes on doors of peoples houses. he then comes back the next day, and if the flyer is still there he breaks in nd spends the night. he doesnt steal or break anything, in fact quite the opposite. he would do the laundry, fix broken things, and clean the place up. one day he breaks into a house that has an occpant, a women who was hiding when she heard him come in. instead of confronting him, she hid and just observed, seeing that he was not a bad guy. after he discovers her, he notices her husband is the abusive type. when the husband comes home, he is abusive to her as usual, so he just goes into the back and uses the at-home golf practicer the husband has (he is very good at golf) the husband notices him, and confronts him outside. out of anger, the drifter hits 4 golf balls at the man, leaving him gasping for air from a ball to the wind pipe. the wife leaves with him, and they continue drifting from house to house for a few days until they discover a dead man. feeling sorry for him, they wrap him in robes and bury im in the backyard. the son of the dead man shows up, and the two are arrested for murder and burglury, and he is arrested for kidnapping the woman. the woman returned to her abusive husband, and the drifter in an abusive jail where he continuosly messes with the gaurd trying to hide from peripheral vision. will he ever get out? does he learn how to completely fool peripheral vision? and what of the wife? watch it, to find out.
towards the end, the movie became insanely good. things u wouldnt expect happening, some plot twists, and a great drama/romance storyline. this has become one of my favorite movies.

happiness and DDR
03.21.05 (4:00 pm) [edit]ello! on saturday, 2 awesome things happened. first off, i went to my friends house for his bday party. tehre were 8 people all together. this is when i was introduced to DDR. i always saw my friend play it, and he is very good. i know hes not the best, but he still is very good. some of the arrows he presses on thsoe songs, my mind cant even process them. anyways, it was me and my other friend, who had never played the game b4. we got good! lol. of course, good to us is probably ok to everyone else. there are 4 difficulties, beginer, light, standard, and heavy mode. we can do light mode almost perfect now! lol its harder than it looks.
also, i watched full metal alchemist. i was almost in tears. not becuz it was sad, or that it was awesome. becuz it happened. for like the past year and a half, ive been feeling not myself. i feel as if im lost, or i dont belong. as if i should be doing something right now. something important, and everytime i dont i feel even worse. the main character in the show felt as if his entire life's work was wasted, becuz he couldnt go on. he gave up. then, another character told him, that "sometimes its ok to feel lost and not have a reason." to anyone else, it may not seem like much. but i have been waiting for someone to say that to me for a long time. even if it wsant directed towards me, i felt relieved. as if someone had lifted a huge burden off my back. now, i feel better than i did b4.

My life
03.12.05 (5:13 pm) [edit]My life....
... in school: In school, i usually do my work. most of the easy or boring classes i pay attention when its important, then foold around in them. its not like i fail them! thats y i choose my moments carefully, and strangly i have a good grade in them. gym is always fun, i like being athletic. and since i go to a technical school, i switch over to my trade cycle. that is Information Systems Technology, which is basically computers. i do all my work, and when i have free time i watch anime or create flash movies. its pretty fun.
...out of school: i hang out, through and through. recently ive been looking for a job tho. i usually go to either my friends house or my cuzins house. there we hang out, go to the store, play video games or board games, or some other random things. other times i enjoy riding my bike alot, or playing outside in the summer
...with music: now, music is my life. i almost always have my headphones on when im not doing anythng important. i listen to it when im on the bus, at home, walking places, basically anywhere i get the chance to.
...online: i dont spend that much time online. i only really go online to download stuff, or go on tblog, or look up stuff for homework. i dont talk online much often. in fact, today someone im-ed me shouting obscenities and such, like they knew me. i have no idea who they are. maybe i did something... idk.
well thats basically me
some other stuff
03.12.05 (10:11 am) [edit]its been a while since this. in school, we played lacrosse. its fun, if everyone knows how to play. which they dont. it was like a bunch of monkeys with sticks playing soccer lol. no one knows how to hold the ball in the stick, so i just tap it and it flies out. its so fun. and hitting people with it. thats also an added bonus.
other than that, no difference in whats goin down. o! i went to target the other day, cuz a new one opened up in my town. i got a Speed Racer shirt!!! haha speed racer is the man. love those old saturday morning cartoons. and i saw a girl with no face! it was scary. im not insulting no one or anything, but she really had no face. it shocked me in ways i did not want to be shocked ::Shudders::
well thats about all
Maaya on the Mind
03.08.05 (3:06 pm) [edit]haha. funny title. anyways,
as ive said b4, i cant stop listeneing to Maaya Sakamoto! all of her songs are just amazingly good. i want to hear all of them. i want to memorize all of them! i wish i could put them on here so everyone can listen to them.
New MAnga
03.06.05 (9:02 am) [edit]hello again! yesterday, i went to the mall. i was told that one of the book stores was going out of business, which means sales on all items. which means manga. cheap manga=happy sengu. it was like buy 2, get one free. i got 7! woot.
i got Warriors of Tao #3, Samurai deeper Kyo#11, Infinite Ryvius#1, Pilgrim Jager#1 (jager as in the drink, jagermeister or however its spelled), Get Backers#7, and Tsubasa: Reservior Chronicle #4. there was another one, but i cant remember what it was called. Lagoon something. but anyways, Pilgrim Jager is the new hotness. the awesomest book ive read in a while. Definitely getting more of that. And warriors of Tao is still crazy awesome.Cant believe how amazingly good that series is.
as i posted b4, ive been listening to alot of Maaya Sakamoto lately. Heres the lyrics to a song of hers, called "Here"-
Here, people look for heaven
Livin' in a fear of God
Losing themselves, hiding forever
Afraid of what they're not
She spent her whole life
Chasing stardust
And then when she could taste it
A million dollars of pride
And still unhappy
So sad, she couldn't feel, she couldn't feel
I know the story
So sad, she couldn't feel, she couldn't feel
I know the score
Here I am, I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I jus' walk along
Walk along
Here, people hide in darkness
Watchin' their shadows grow
Tears of gold or nothing matters
Selling themselves out short
Take diamonds for hope and fame for caring
The things she couldn't give up
She blows out the candle of love
And loses her way out
So mad, she couldn't see, she couldn't see
I know the story
So mad, she couldn't see, she couldn't see
I know the score
Here I am, I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I jus' walk along
I walk along
People here choose not to listen
Afraid of what they might hear
Believing in lies and contradiction
Can be so safe and warm
And so many people tried to tell her
You know she wouldn't listen
A million voices called out
She jus' walked away
So loud, she couldn't hear, she couldn't hear
I know the story
So loud, she couldn't hear, she wouldn't hear
I know the score
Here I am, I've walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I've walked the shadows
It's time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I jus' walk along
I walk along
ne ne ne
03.04.05 (4:54 pm) [edit]hey everybody! ne ne ne!, in case u were wondering, means hey hey hey! in japanese. good ole' Abenobashi.
anyways, ive been listening to Maaya Sakamoto alot recently. shes a japanese singer, but she has alot of english songs as well. she does her own songs and some from anime. but all of them are good. if ur interested, i would suggest getting Tune the Rainbow, Another Gray Day in the Big Blue World, or Garden of Everything. its been stuck in my mind for the past week. its such an amazingly good song
civilization
03.01.05 (3:51 pm) [edit]i hate civilization. i do. with a passion. i cant stand it. of course, its not like il try and destroy it. there are others that love it. but i do not. y cant we go back to the time where we didnt have to worry about paying constant bills, or paying $500,000 for a house cuz its the cheapest u can find? y cant we go back to the time when the worst neighborhood was the one with the guy that didnt say "hi" when he walked by? why cant we go back to the time when there were no locks on doors, where the worst thing that would happen if u didnt was the wind would open it. y cant we go back to the time where there were no terrorists, or need for any police? y cant we go bak to the time where u didnt constantly worry about not having a job, cuz people helped each other out?
maybe im just being immature and lazy, not wanting to worry about these thing. and i am. if i worry about them, i get sad and afraid. sad and afraid becuz i dont know what i could do with my life, and if id be successful. so i dont think about it. and becuz of that, people call me immature. and even tho its true, it still effects me. it still makes me sad. it still hurts. it hurts becuz i know its true, and theres nothing i can do about it.
most of the time, i have fun. the days are ok, and i hang out with my friends and the like. but some days, like today, when there is nothing to do, that i think of this. what can i do about it? im not yet old enough to go out on my own. i have immature ambitions and goals, i do immature things. some of my favorite movies are movies made specifically for children. i dont worry about responibilities, and often forget what im supposed to do. i get yelled at or scolded for it, and they call me immature. and i feel bad, becuz i want to help but i cant. i dont know y i cant. maybe im just feeling sorry for myself.
but, all is not so sad. it was snowing today, and as i walked home at night i held my up and stared into the sky. watching the snow fall down, it felt like i was flying against it. i tried to catch the snow in my mouth, another childish act. and i realized thats its ok to be immature. its ok that i act like this, and not want to be like everyone else. i should stop worrying about the future now, it will come when it comes. il be ready by then. il act liek this for the rest of my life, and thats ok
