Hello world! (And Kathryn, who I just found out followed this blog! Whaaaaaaaaat?!?!?! Hey, gurl!)
I ended up using a lot of time on Sunday reading a book- plus we went to the park for a bit- so I didn't have time to post.
Not yesterday, but the time before that that we went to the library (I guess it was Friday or Saturday?) I made some discoveries. One- I found Tegami Buchi: Letter Bee! I'd wanted to read that for a few years now! I used to have this app that had iPod wallpapers, and I'd found some pictures from animes there that I didn't know about until a while after. I'd accidentally found pics from Black Butler, Attack on Titan, Fairy Tail, Bleach, maybe Soul Eater (looks kinda like Death? Maybe it's some other skeleton?)... and, as said before, Letter Bee! There's still some pics there that I haven't found the source of, but every time I realize I'd already had a pic for it before seeing the anime, it makes me more excited to watch. *giggle*
Two- I found a few Pandora Hearts manga books! And so far, almost everything is exactly the same as in the anime. Which I'm totally not complaining about! I'm hoping, though, that if I read a lot more of the books, that they'll help me understand some of the things that happened more. Even if it's pretty cool, Pandora Hearts can be so confusing. *Oz and Gil together forever but not romancey just as friends cuz it's so cute!*
Three- Lemony Snicket! You guys know A Series of Unfortunate Events, right? He's the guy that wrote them. (I've always wondered how he came up with that penname, and if he uses it because his real name is really normal-sounding...) Turns out he's started coming out with a new series (though it's gonna be shorter) called All the Wrong Questions. It's more of a mystery thing. I'm confused by some stuff, but, since I've only read the first book, I'm sure the answers to that are gonna be revealed.
People that read mystery books like to say that they like to go along trying to figure out 'who did it' and see if they're right at the end. Honestly, I'm not all that good with detective work, so I don't really try. *sweat drop* I might ask a question or two to myself and stuff, but I'm really not doing that much work, I just read the book. *chuckle* I'm gonna be equally surprised by the end, anyways, so why even try?
Four- Simon's Cat! I love the videos, and I knew from said videos that Simon had actually published a few books too. I actually found one at the library. Of course, I checked it out. It was cute and actually made me laugh out loud one or two times, but... I dunno, I think I have problems with books that don't have words. I mean, I've read a ton of Calvin and Hobbes (which both me and my mom just adore) and Peanuts, which Simon's work isn't far off of. But at least those have talking and stuff, right? Not bashing on Simon or his cat! It's just... I like the videos more. *shrug*
There were more and there's still more- I actually also spent time on Sunday getting holds on a bunch of books I have in a list that I wanna read, and we went to pick up some yesterday- but those are just kinda the prominent DISCOVERIES! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
For two days last week, my sis and I went on a big Netflix binge. We finally finished Roswell (she freaked when she was like "They left out Jessie?! He's the only bf/gf that is actually married into the family, and they just leave him out anyway?!") and needed something else to watch. We ended up watching Dexter.
I have seen a lot of shows by this point that have innuendos and sex and swearing and stuff, but... the amount in Dexter is a little much, don'chu think? Can we not focus more on the whole serial killer thing, guys? That's the part I like. The part I luv. There's enough crazy plot twists and stuff as it is without the other stuff. I mean, the finale to the first season was insane! I would've never seen that coming!!!
Partway through the second season, though... I just kinda gave up. The show kinda felt like it was messing with me. Not the killing part, all the swearing and stuff mentioned earlier. I was worried by this point I was gonna be close to actually blurting a bad word out loud! Which I REFUSE to let happen! I told my sis my worries, and she was just like "Okay, we'll watch something different."
So come Monday, she turns on That 70's Show. *deadpan* *facepalm* Uh... P.S., sis... THAT'S NOT EXACTLY BETTER! AT LEAST IN DEXTER I HAD MASS MURDERINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO!
I found all my Lego people, so they are now standing around with Zane and his dragon. *pleased Honey-sempai flowers* (Broranges corrected me on that during Winter Break. Is it actually -senpai or does it not matter?)
On Saturday, me and my family drove to Cannon Beach, which was a little further away than my dad had anticipated, but still close enough to just drive there in the morning and come back home in the late afternoon. It is pretty cute there, and felt good to be in the sand. And, one of the best parts was that in one of the little shops in town we bought a few things, including this awesome teal vintage-ish hat! I love it! I'd been worried about whether I'd actually wear it enough for it to be worth buying (since stuff there is kinda expensive). My sister was like "Really? You practically lived in a Spongebob snapback. I think you're good." I wanted to respond, "I'm pretty sure I actually wore my Scooby-Doo hat a lot more..." but I could see her point. If I really like a hat, I'm gonna find all the opportunities to wear it. As is tradition, I'm gonna do the same with this hat (and maybe bring my Spongebob hat back too)- at least until winter, when I can wear all my other hats.
I could tell you about more stuff you probably don't care about at all, but I'll just finish with something a little important. This month (July), I'm gonna be going to girls' camp, and then the week after to Mexico. It's been a few years since we went to visit relatives there, so. Like before, we're gonna be there for 3 weeks, mainly staying with my grandma who doesn't have internet and now just the local channels on her little TV. I'll post if I get the opportunity, but that just might be once, maaaaaaaaybe twice. I'm hoping I'll end up writing a lot more for my WIP fics and stuff during that time, though.
