Comic Con!

Hello world!

So sorry about not posting last week, I really was busy on Sunday. I have so much to say!~

I'll start with what I would have said last Sunday:

On Wednesday I finally started watching Hetalia. That day, plus Friday and Saturday, I watched everything that Netflix had. I don't know if it has the whole series or if there's more movies, but there was enough. ...No, never mind. I NEED ME MORE HETALIA

I think my favorite characters from it are Italy, Japan, and America. I mean, it seems fun to be Italy! He's so happy all the time and eats gourmet food! (Chibitalia and Holy Roman Empire- I thought the cutest moment was when Chibitalia said no to Holy Roman when asked to unite to become a great country because he didn't want Holy Roman to get hurt! *aaaaw* It just was so adorable! *squee*) Japan... Come on, I just love it and its culture and stuff! He's quiet, but still talks an appropriate amount. I don't know what more to say except he's awesome! Last but not least, America! Gotta have pride for my home country! ('Murica) He is just so stereotypical! I love it!!! Just like a lot of things, I really hope sometime I get the opportunity to say "HaHA! This is my hero voice!" Have you heard the Americanized version of the opening song? The best part is the end: ♪"Both my beef and dreams are supersized! America!"♫ *cracks up* That's also something I hope I could sing for comedy or something.

Then this week I watched Ouran High School Host Club. I was pretty nervous about starting it, because I thought it would probs just be romance. But once I found out more about Haruhi, I realized this would actually be a cool series. And so, surprisingly, I may actually recommend this show to someone! Of course, Tamaki, one of the main guys, is voiced by Vic Mignogna.

I think one of my favorite characters in THIS show is Honey-sempai! Just like me, he loves stuffed animals and acting cute and cuddly and child-like! Plus, DANG he kicks butt. Of course I love his partner Mori-sempai too, not only being the strong and silent, but also taking care of Honey-sempai. However, it's shown a few times that he doesn't say something when I feel he should. He was insulted, and just dropped into a gloom cloud silently. I thought he would at least be like "No I'm not..." or "You people are rude..." softly, but nope. He's worse than Mausu!

I'm guessing most would have trouble picking a favorite out of the Hitachiin twins, especially because they are almost one person. (They seem really cool and all, except I'd be uncomfortable around them during their closer-than-brothers act. I really hope with all my heart it's just an act. Please. PLEASE.) But near the end of the series, I picked out which one I liked more: Kaoru. Hikaru is cool too, but Kaoru really shows just how well he knows his brother and how much he cares for him, in that he actually forces Hikaru (without him realizing it) to leave his side for the day, because... well, you'd have to see for yourself. But until you see it, know that it was done with love. Also, he notices what Tamaki is trying to do to keep the club together and the same always. Plus, Hikaru, as explained by Kaoru, lets his emotions, especially jealousy, get the best of him too much. Kaoru is just slightly more insightful and mature, so I guess that's why I like him more. I wonder how much of this paragraph people understood...

Hey guys, should I read the manga too? From what I've seen, I like more how the characters in the anime are drawn than in the manga, but I might still like it. I can't decide!

Guess what happened last Sunday (as my excuse for not posting)? We went to Brorange's house again! There I invited him to come to Comic Con this week! Right after, we went to the house of a family that we know well. (Since the son that's my age said that he wants a Loki helmet, I shall call him Loki!) I had not seen Loki for, what, 3 years?! His voice was suddenly so much deeper and his haircut had changed. I barely recognized him! We talked for a while and became friends again, pretty much. I then also invited HIM to come with me and Broranges to Comic Con, and with some planning we figured out what day and such the glorious trio would go!

So we all went on Friday! It was the first time for any of us, and it was really fun. Sucks that everything cost way too much... Broranges even stole a bottle of Coca-Cola! (I hit him repeatedly after that.) Loki went in normal clothes, but since Broranges rolls that way, we decided to try going in cosplay! I've already said how he seems to be able to convince me to do a lot of stuff? He convinced me on the costume pair we would go as: Jeff and Jane the Killers from Creepypasta. Honestly, they are very cool, but I'm sure very few people recognized our characters, especially since Brorange's makeup didn't come out as well as it could have if he had practiced sometime BEFORE the actual event. Plus, some mistook him as Joker. As part of the costumes he got fake knives!

(I think they put that orange sticker on all props, in case you wanted to know.) I kinda liked waving the knife around. It made me feel more dangerous than usual...

So many people had awesome costumes! I even met a girl dressed as Edward Elric, who explained to me that her friend was actually the one who made the costume, and even had Al's helmet and an automail arm, both of amazing detail and awesomeness! I was so happy to hear about someone having so much skill and such! Too bad I can't have an Al head of my own. *tear* (I realize that sentence was quite weird.)

This is a group of people cosplaying as characters from Attack on Titan. They are so awesome!

All three of us ended up buying something to take home: Broranges got a Black Butler pocketwatch, Loki got a Wolverine poster, and I got an Alphonse keychain!

*squee* Chibi Al is so cute! And I FINALLY have FMA merchandise! After so long of loving this show! I'm currently tying it onto my phone, because now Al can be with me wherever I go, and I'm scared of putting it on my backpack. I've already spoken about someone stealing my precious L button from my backpack, right? *sob* I don't want to lose something else, especially because Alphonse cost $12! I'm not joking!

Oh, and Broranges didn't actually pay for the pocketwatch... I did... I wanted to have a State Alchemist watch, but they had run out that VERY FREAKING MORNING! (As apology the cashier gave me a card with the name of the company and stuff so I could buy the watch I wanted online.) Since Broranges liked some that were available, I let him pick one instead. Being the kind person I am, I told him he didn't owe me anything. Unless he lost it, then he's paying all $32. Even if it's decades from now; if anything happens, he's giving me some moolah.

Besides looking at all the stalls, we also watched some people play video games, and both Loki and Broranges took a turn, although they were the first to die in the round. *they disgrace family* (Loki accidentally blew himself up with his own grenade! I was laughing kinda hard when I realized what occurred.) I didn't participate since I really haven't played much video games, and so therefore would've sucked and embarrassed myself.

There was a room where people played card games and stuff like that. We first did a few rounds of Zombie Dice, and after that I played my very first fantasy card game! There was some guy (who never even told us his name) who came by when we first sat down with the box that told us he'd played that before, so therefore would help us understand the game. He stuck around the whole time, giving us explanations and helpful hints (especially to me, which definitely helped) along the way. I had started to get the hang of the game when we had to leave. *tear*

I highly suggest for people to go, even if they aren't a giant geek about superheroes, Doctor Who, Star Wars (Some Stormtroopers started dancing to party songs, later being joined by Spiderman and Deadpool. It was kinda hilarious. Oh, and there was a guy dressed as a Wookie! He was probably wearing stilts or something, cuz he was huuuuuuuuge.), or whatever! I only suggest that you bring plenty of money. I mean, at least $50. You will definitely need it.

Yay, CRT! Boo, SAGE!

Hello world!

Before I say anything else, I'm going to point out that I did try redrawing by memory Alphonse again. It basically looked the exact same as the one I drew last week, which left room to make it more realistic. Then I realized how much more detail there is in his actual armor than the one that I draw. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaughh, so many separate pieces! *whale noise* ...I kinda gave up after a few minutes of trying to modify my drawing. When I have more self-motivation, I'll try again. Seriously, suits of armor are so complicated! Kudos to Hiromu Arakawa and the animators for drawing him so well and stuff! Strange that even if his suit of armor has a lot of details, I think it'd be easier for me to be happy with a drawing of the armor than him as a human... with a flesh body... I don't know why. Maybe because he doesn't show emotions, and has no hair (besides the long white piece, which is quite easy to draw)? I think it's mainly that I won't have to draw hair. *nervous laugh* I really hate drawing hair. I suck so much at it.

Oh, and while looking for pics, I found this awesome one!

*waves arms around like they are noodles* SO COOL!!!

*ahem* I'm good now.

Monday was my mom's birthday! *noisemaker* It's kinda cool that she is 30 years older than me, and that her mom is 30 older than her! Oh, the coincidences!

Also, I had an interesting experience, which started from literally the moment I woke up. When my alarm rang, I suddenly had a very uncomfortable feeling. I'm guessing it's kind of the feeling people have in movies when it seems bad things are about to happen. It just made me think "It feels like there's something WRONG this morning." When I saw my mom a few minutes later, I told her about it, but reassured that by now it had basically disappeared. She still got really worried, because I'm just about the last person in my family to get anxious like that. We discussed it when we were about to leave for school, and she told me that she thought that it was a sign that I shouldn't go to school. After all, why would I get a sign something would happen at home if I was going to be away from the house for hours? And if I got this feeling, God or the Holy Ghost, or whoever gave me that feeling, would know we would interpret it this way. I agreed, and so I didn't go to school.

I felt kind of bad about telling her about the feeling immediately because I made her so nervous on her birthday... (That early in the morning, it had not yet registered in my head that it was her birthday, and I didn't remember until a few minutes after this event...) But I guess I should mainly be happy that we listened to the feeling, and hopefully it did prevent something bad from occurring to me or anyone else. Also, I got to spend the entire day reading a fanfic called Truth Revealed!~ (It is super long, so I put it in italics instead of using quotation marks.)

Bad thing, though, was that I had to do makeup work. This is why it has been the only day that I missed of school this year! There's people that skip classes all the time just cuz they want to, but honestly, there's too many consequences for me to actually do it too.

Before, the end of year testing was called CRT's, which I usually did pretty well in. I liked that all of it (except maybe one or two questions) was multiple choice, and during it I usually felt pretty calm and confident, actually. But this year, they changed the testing to SAGE. Since it is a new kind of test, all the teachers with subjects being tested have been preparing themselves and us for taking it. And from what I've seen, I will not like it. Not one little bit. The only advantage I see in it is that they change the next question depending on how you answered the one before it, so it's customized to each individual student and determines better their intelligence. But the way they tried to make the test more interactive... failed. In my eyes, at least. Oh geez, I really hope I move before having to take this, and that in the other state it will be more like the CRT's, because I already know there won't be any glitches or anything with it.

So, I just finished watching the April 2014 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! As a classmate once said, it feels like it's more often than twice a year, right? I highly suggest that anyone who missed it, whether a member of the church or not, should go to lds.org to read or watch the talks. There were some great ones that many people can benefit from. In fact, I'm later going to reread some of them and look for the quotes I had wanted to write down.

...That's all for now, folks! (Sorry, can't help myself...)
