Doctor Who!

Leah: Thanks for the prayer :) And Terra is awesome XD. Birth by Sleep is one of my favorites of the Kingdom Hearts games (I haven't gotten far enough in the story to see if it is actually my favorite, but at least it is definitely up to original Kingdom Hearts standards of awesome! -- I don't know if that sentence makes any sense, but I don't really care...)

Kelsey: 4.2 is really good! We've just recently changed weighting of our GPA, so in past years I've been getting about 4.2-4.3 -- Different schools do all kinds of crazy things that I don't understand with our grades! >.<
Lion King is one of my favorite Disney movies. Lion King, Hercules, and Mulan are probably my favorites in terms of story and music X3
And don't worry, we won't go so far as killing each other...though Courgy-chan has threatened to cannibalize me before...it was really creepy...We were in Biology after a test and she wrote in her handbook "I'm hungry for flesh!" She's really odd...and it seemed every time she was in the library with me last year, she ended up looking up something on the internet relating to cannibalism...wow...y'know, this is really creepy when I think about it....Oh well, once you get to know her well enough, these things don't even bother you...

Kat-chan: Nyuuuuuuu!!! I lost the game!!!
Ahhh...James....XP
FLUFFY!!!
(Now has a scary image of Birdman in a fluffy apron...)

Rachel: well, I haven't updated in a while, so I had to make up for the missed time! Besides, this was nothing compared to my Creation and Kingdom Hearts posts XD
I think you'll really like BBS when Abby finally lets you play :P
Dealer-chan's sister did let me sit with them, but their lunch table was very crowded and I felt like I was intruding, so I moved...
Cosplay, YES!!

So, replies to people's comments are done! (Too long to put in the comments thing)
Recently, I've been totally obsessing over Doctor Who (which is not good timing--Its never good to have two obsessions happening at the same time, with school going on in the meantime...)
Anyway, if you haven't watched Doctor Who, you are missing out. I regret all those years that I never knew the show!!
Yes, it tends to give me really odd nightmares, but when I wake up, I'm like 'That was awesome!!' I love dreaming about things like that!
What's really cool about Doctor Who is that even though the graphics and effects are not all that great, its somehow endearing. Its kinda hard to explain. I think of it kinda like Star Wars (4-6). Those animations aren't all that good, but they somehow feel more legitimate or realistic that way. I just wasn't feeling the "better" graphics in 1-3...I don't know...Its just really weird....
And, it is the most bizarre story, but awesome at the same time (or "Brilliant!" as the Doctor would say XP). David Tennant is definitely my favorite of the Doctors I've seen so far (granted, I've only seen two others...so I don't have much to compare to...) But he is just amazing as the Doctor.
And the Daleks are just so WEIRD! They're, like, scary and almost-huggable at the same time. They are just so RIDICULOUS-looking that you have to laugh. I cracked up the first time I saw one, thinking 'What the heck?! What is that supposed to be?!' Then it started flying I lost it (they just kid of hover--it is so weird looking!!) And their weapons look like a plunger and a blender?! What the heck? How can something so ridiculous be so awesome?!



"You will identify first." - C
"YOU will identify first." - D
(Wow. Really T.T)

"You will identify." - C
"Daleks do not take orders." - D
"You have identified as Daleks." - C
(Doh.)

"Daleks have no concept of elegence"
"This is obvious."
(One burn point to the Cybermen!)

"You will defeat 5 million Cybermen with 4 Dalek?" - C
"We will defeat 5 million Cybermen with 1 Dalek!" - D
(That's a point to the Daleks)
 
"You are superior in only one respect." - D
"What is that?" - C
"You are better at dying." - D
(Oh! Double-burn!! The Daleks so win.)

(These are my thoughts when I watched this episode. One of my favorite arcs so far. This and the weeping angels with Amy and the 11th Doctor)

These are all just my random thoughts on the series. I have been watching the episodes all out of order, so I'm sorry if there are any spoilers.

I'm not really sure which partner I like the best. They're actually all pretty cool. Rose seems like she should be annoying, but you really grow to like her. Martha's kinda cool, but not my favorite. Donna is awesome. I just love her personality. She reminds me of myself in some ways...one of my favorite scenes with her:


(I just watched this episode today. I was seriously hysterical. It was hilarious!)

20 September 2010

Satanic Waffle House XD

 Sooo...Its been WAY too long since I last updated and I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY for that!! Too much stuff has been going on (which I will get to below):

So, going in sorta random, sorta chronological order; Revelation Generation happened September 4th. It was pretty freaking awesome! I went with Kat-chan and Rachel (who I seriously need a nickname for because I call all my friends "chan" except for Rachel because I have no nickname!! Blonde-chan? I believe Kat-chan calls her Baka-chan, but she's not very baka...hmmm...anyway...)
What was I saying? Oh yeah! RevGen! I has pictures and videos of course!!













Twas a fun time :)

So, school started up on the 7th. So this week is actually my 3rd week of school (wow, hard to believe...Of course, the first week was only Tues, Wed, and Fri. We had Thursday off. This school year is good and bad.


Good:
-Senior year
-cool classes (Biotechnology -- at a nearby tech school, AP Government (I hate social studies, but the teacher is awesome!), Honors English (we're doing British literature, which I'm actually excited about!!), AP Physics (physics = cool, teacher = eh...something about her just doesn't sit right with me...maybe she's an alien...), AP Statistics (I didn't get the really awesome Stat teacher!! Grrr...I got the new one. Its her first year teaching and she switches between talking to us like we're experts in statistics to talking to us like we're in first grade! She seems nice enough, but its been boring enough that I fell asleep during our first test! I was freaking taking the test and I fell asleep!! ...This is going to be a long year)
-study hall (I have Rachel, Dealer-chan, and (on Tuesdays) Courgy-chan)
-Dealer-chan is in my Physics class, so that makes it fun
-8th period lunch -- Its nice because I go to Biotech, get back to my school in the middle of 2nd period, go to 3 classes, go to lunch, go to 2 classes, go home. My point is, if I make it to lunch, all I have to look forward to after that is physics and study hall!!

Bad:
-teachers...As I kinda already mentioned in my cool classes. The subjects are awesome. Teachers are okay. The only cool teachers are the Biotech, English and Gov't teachers.
-I don't see ANYONE in the morning!! (Because of Biotech, I have to leave at 6:50am and drive 30min every day to the tech school. In previous years, the whole BBM could meet out front of the school in the morning before school started. Now I can't do that because I don't actually get to my school until about 9:15!! It makes me really sad that most days, I don't ever see Kat-chan or Courgy-chan!!
-I have no one in my lunch period. The only people I know in there are Dealer-chan's sister, and Rachel's sister's friend! I sit at the "loser" table with all the other people who have no friends and we just sit every other seat, not next to each other, and eat in silence...usually while doing homework...=(
Actually, I talked to someone the other day. She was a freshman and I was drawing a picture of Aqua from BBS (which I will MOST DEFINITELY talk about later in this post XD) and she asked me who it was and we talked about Kingdom Hearts and anime and stuff. It was fun except I couldn't really hear her very well because its very loud in the lunch room and hard to hear what people are saying, even if they're sitting 2 feet from you...So I kept saying "What?" and "I'm sorry, I can't hear you!" and I felt really bad :(

Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, so school is OK. Not that bad, not that great. I'll get adjusted eventually...

Okay, AP classes are freaking cruel with their summer homework. I'm taking 3 AP classes this year and Biotech (which is a Duel-Enrollment course). They all had packets to do and they sucked!!! I spent pretty much the entire month of August working on those things for at least an hour a day and I was still cramming almost 2 entire packets in the last 3 days before school started! I was tired of school before I even got there!! I guess that's what being a senior is all about...



Oh! Really cool thing I learned! My school finally gave us our class ranks and GPA's.
Based off of grades from 9th-11th grade, my GPA is 4.5601 (our school has a weighted grading scale) and my class rank is 6th out of 381 students!!!! I FREAKED OUT when I heard this!!! (Well, I actually just freaked out on the inside...My mom told me and I was like, "Really? Cool." Then I went to my room and did a little victory dance/jump/squeal/thing. I pretty much spazzed out...)

Uhm...Thinking of what else I wanted to say...
Shippensburg! I visited Shippensburg University with Kat-chan. Twas fun. Rides there consisted of much talk about the Satanic Waffle House...Very long story...Ending in Lucy's brother James running a very cute interdimensional waffle house with his partner Sebastian, his best friend -- Rose the demonic fern, and his little servants resembling the accounting trolls from the Dilbert comics. There was also talk of Nuclear Hellfire Waffles and epic crossovers...Speaking of which, I did draw James and Rose, I don't know if its the same as you pictured him, and I haven't colored it yet, so I will put it in another post. Sorry!
(For now, here's a picture of Gir eating waffles X3)

This weekend was amazingly fun! On Friday, we had the joint birthday party for Kat-chan and Rachel. It was at Rachel's house and lots of people came. There was much noms and dancing and singing (of Disney songs mostly XD)
Funny story, I was at my church community day, which was on Saturday. Rachel's neighbors go to my church and Mrs. W said to me, "Hey, Kaitlyn, were you at a party last night?"
I laughed, "Yeah, did you hear us?"
"Yeah...I think it was something from the Lion King?"
"Yep. That was us."
You see, that's just how awesome we are XP
Oh, and Rachel got some awesome cosplay stuff! She has pretty much her entire Demyx cosplay set.
Speaking of which, I realized in the shower (of all places) that my mother had a lab coat that she had used for a microbiology class she was taking. So, I thought, 'Wait, I have a lab coat and a Zexion wig. Duh! I can do Ienzo!!!' And so now I have an Ienzo cosplay. And that is that.

So now, finally to my otaku-related news.

 This is pretty much all consisting of Birth By Sleep talk. My brother got it for his birthday and we've been sharing it, so I'm not very far. I actually am playing as Ventus, Terra, and Aqua kinda simultaneously and I'm at Deep Space with Ventus and Aqua and Neverland with Terra. The game is AMAZING!! I love it so much! Much better of a game than 358/2 Days. I mean I liked that game, but it was not nearly up to other KH game standards. But I really love the fighting styles in this game and my Zacky is in it so that just has to make it amazing!! (I had major fangirl attacks every time I went to the Colosseum and saw Zack. He's just too CUTE!! He's so little with the same personality and trying to hit on Aqua! Its just so cute!!)
 Anyway, this game is one of the reasons I haven't been updating. When I'm not doing homework, I'm playing the game (I lost the game DX).
Me and Courgy-chan had a fight over Vanitas. I had called him a while ago to my brother, but not publicly, so apparently, she had called him too. So we were arguing in the school parking lot. She followed me to my car and stood behind my car and wouldn't let me leave until I admitted Vanitas was hers. It lasted about five minutes. I had turned my car on and put it in reverse, but she still would not move. I gave in. I said she could have Vanitas if I could have Terra (whom she had called at the end of last school year). She agreed.


(Rachel, I know Abby called Terra, but like you said at your party, she's more like an honorary member of the BBM, so I am fine with calling the same people as her -- Zero and Terra for example.)
These are seriously the kinds of fights my friends and I get into. We almost run each other over for rights over fictional men ;)

I believe that's all I wanted to say in this long update post...Sorry for so many words...

~Squid!

PS: In case you were wondering, Ienzo is little somebody-Zexion from Birth by Sleep. 

PPS: Lots of things going on with my family recently. My brother's birthday was recently. He got cool new games and the party was fun! My little sister, on the other hand, is not doing so well. She dislocated her knee at school. At first, we just told her to walk it off, because her joints get dislocated easily because she has a genetic disorder that causes your ligaments to be looser than they should be. But, it didn't get better, so they went to the doctor and it turns out that, along with having the ligament problem, her knee cap is not the right shape and so it doesn't fit right in her joint, further adding to the dislocation problem. They said that she can't do sports with lots of pivoting (so no soccer or basketball for her) and she'll have to really work up the muscles to prevent this problem from happening over and over. They said she'll probably have to have surgery on her knee at the age of 10 and she'll almost certainly have arthritis in her knee when she's older. I feel so bad because she managed to get handed down all the worst genes that run in my family and she's just got rotten luck. But otherwise, she's as happy and goofy as ever. She'll be fine...Just, can you guys keep her in your prayers?

PPPS: I've been totally obsessing over this song recently and have had it stuck in my head so much!
