OMZ I'm not dead?!

OK, I know...I haven't been on and posting in a LONG time. I'm not dead or anything. Just busy.
So, looking back, I have everything since Halloween to fill you guys in on. Don' worry, I shall be brief! XD

So for Halloween, I technically had two costumes. I was a hippie for the Halloween parade that I walked in for Rotary Interact Club. That was quite fun. The club members had to kinda "chaperon" the different categories being judged in the costume contest, except my ground was "over 5th grade -- Character" I think (memory is a little hazy). So it was me and another "chaperon", my brother, and two other middle school girls. That was all...So sufficed to say, there were three prizes and the 3 kids won them :)
Well, actually, they gave me one b/c one of the girls left early, even though I didn't enter. But then I saw the girl as I was leaving so I gave her the $25 prize (which was very hard for me to do considering I've been in a period of having absolutely NO MONEY and no job/source of income...it really is not a good feeling).
Then, the 2nd costume was Chester from Demyx Time. If you don't know Demyx Time by now and you regularly read my posts...*insert witty comment that I just forgot about you being dumb here*...
Here's a picture of Chester:

Ain't he cute!! XD
So anyway, I made a Chester hat using clearkid's tutorial on deviantart [link]

So there is my costume. Simple. Black pants, black shirt, chester necklace, hat, gloves (which I'm not wearing in the picture). Twas fun! I had a halloween party at a friend's house. Rachel dressed as Demyx and there was much squee when I arrived as Chester ;)
Then, on Halloween, originally Dealer-chan and I were going to go trick-or-treating with her German exchange student, but she said it was too cold (chicken!!). So I was going to be alone, then Rachel, chibi, and kat-chan decided to show up. So since chibi was the only 18 year-old, she was our "adult chaperon" and we were her 3 darklings XP
Fun times!
Oh, my pumpkin was also a heartless. My brother's was Luigi and my sister's was a zhuzhu pet (those little robotic hamster toys). Mine was the tallest XD

So then, Thanksgiving happened. We did stuff....(Truth be told, I don't remember much about Thanksgiving)

Somewhere in between Halloween and Thanksgiving (I think) was Homecoming. I never really did homecoming before, but its my senior year, so I figured I may as well do on my last chance. It was actually quite fun. Funny story: I was misinformed that the homecoming dance was on the same night as the homecoming game and was horribly confused as to when they were going to fit both in on a friday night and if people were wearing their dresses to the game -- if so, it would be awefully cold...Then, I was informed by dealer-chan (the one who often sets right my misinformation, laughing at me all the while) that the game was on friday and the dance on saturday...you can imagine how stupid i felt...
Anyway, homecoming game was COLD!!! But fun all the same! I believe this is the game when dealer-chan and chibi-chan were there with me (maybe). We weren't very interested in the football, so we sang songs and snuggled like penguins instead.
What I love about my class is that our homecoming queen was a band geek! She did marching band, AP classes, and she was asian, unlike the other girls who were unanimously blond and Caucasian. AND as told by dealer-chan, she introduced dealer-chan to Fullmetal Alchemist, who in turn introduced me, so indirectly she is the reason for my FMA addiction! It's amazing!

To make it even better, when they announced that she won, some kids in the marching band played the Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare!! XD

(Sorry, I had to. I searched for "win" on deviantart and this came up.)

So then, after Thanksgiving a bit was Christmas (I'm almost through my tale, fear thee not! -- sorry, I'm reading Hamlet in English and its affecting me a bit...T.T)

Christmas was quite awesome! I got a PlayStation 3!!!! XD XD XD XD XD

I love it so much. The games I got for it are Valkyria Chronicle (a cool game, haven't played it much yet), Uncharted 2 (came with the PS3. An interesting game. Not my chosen style, but was fun until I got stuck in a part when I have to pass by a bunch of guards...I got so frustrated...I haven't played it since...T.T), and best for last --Final Fantasy XIII!!! (Love this game so much!! I've played it for about 30 hours already. Its amazing!! I know a lot of people say they don't like the game, but I love it and that's all that really matters to me!! XD) Squeeee!!!

Anyway...composure returning...A thought that occured to me today was that Lightning is somehow a mixture between Marluxia and Cloud -- not a pair I can even fathom supporting...More like, Lightning could be Cloud's cousin and Marluxia's daughter or some kind of weird relation. Her personality is a lot like Cloud's at times, but her...style? I guess is kinda like Marluxia -- plus the pink hair and flower petals when she summons...

So, what was I talking about? Christmas! Fun times. I hung out with the Book Black Market for gift exchange. I got awesome heartless stuffs and a bracelet from Kat-chan <3

I also got Ace Attorney Miles Edgeworth Investigations. That was a fun game, I finished that pretty quick though. I almost regret letting my brother play because now he's always yelling "OBJECTION!" at everything I say!! T.T

I got manga and books. Do any of you read Artemis Fowl books? Well, I got the newest one and it is quite hilarious -- Artemis goes all kinds of crazy, meanwhile the world goes to mayhem. Awesome stuff...

It was a fun Christmas overall. My older brother came home (he's 23 and lives about an hour a way, so it was nice to have him home for a bit---except when he encouraged my little brother in his nerf battle against me, and of course I was unarmed, so really it was just him shooting me in the back of the head while I'm sitting there minding my own business...)

Hmmm...Me thinks that's all I have to say about Christmas, so on to the most recent exciting things in my life:

1st: College! I know, doesn't sound really exciting...But it is to me! I got accepted at Messiah College back in the fall. Rachel got accepted as well, so we're probably going to be going there together!! :)

So, a little after my acceptance, I got a call from my admissions counselor to tell me that I was eligible for a competitive scholarship and was invited to interview for their honors chollege! On the 10th of January I went in. I was really nervous of course. Though I think my mom was more nervous than I was. She kept giving me advice, so finally I basically told her, "Mom, I think you're more nervous than I am. Calm down or you're going to give me an anxiety attack." So I was of the last group to go in for interviews at 3:30pm after being there waiting for the interview since about 1pm. The wait was bad, but once we got down to the building they were holding the interviews in we played a few rounds of buzz-words and it was really fun. It helped calm down our nerves a little bit. I was among the first called in of my time-slot. My interview commenced. It really wasn't that bad. They were just random questions: what kind of music are you listening to? What books have meant something to you? I see you play golf, how is that going? etc. The interviewers just wanted to get to know people. The only question I stumbled on was the typical "All modesty aside: why do you think you deserve this?" DX

I hate those questions! I'm not good at selling myself like that!! I just answered something about how I'm a hard worker and I think that I will do well in school and further myself in my career path...I don't even totally remember what I said! Ugh...

Anyway:

2nd thing: Disney World! I went there for the first time starting the day after my interview. It was also the first time I had ever been on an airplane. I discovered that I don't like flying much. I tend to get disoriented/dizzy/light-headed. Its not pleasant. The view is really cool though...

So, Disney itself was really awesome! We went to all four parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios aka MGM). My favorite had to be animal kingdom if only for the cool atmosphere and the shows. My favorite thing the entire trip had to be the Festival of the Lion King show. That was AMAZING! I love that movie and it was a really cool show. And of course I sang along to the songs X3

We were able to get a reserved dinner/meal most days we were there. The first was with Winnie the Pooh and crew (Tigger has always been my favorite)

We had a dinner with Chip & Dale as well:

Then a breakfast with Donald, Mickey, Goofy, etc. 

And finally, our last day there we had dinner at the royal table with Cinderella and the princesses:

(This is my older brother being goofy. Ariel said she likes his beard because it matches her hair. Then she told him to pose...and this resulted ;P)

So, Disney was a blast! I loved it! Hope to go back sometime! 

However, maybe not when its so chilly. It was actually quite cold for Florida. It was 50s and 60s outside. I had a sweatshirt and a jacket most days (but that's just me...I'm always cold...)

Except I can't imagine how crowded it must be. Most days we went, according to my bro's app on his iphone were not even half as much crowded as normal, and they were much more crowded than I'm used to other places...0.o

Anyway, unfortunately, the whole missing school thing has been causing me grief since we got back. Luckily, one of the days we were gone was a snow day, so that's now only 4 days of work I have to make up. Then, the weekend after was MLK day, so we had off monday for that. Then we had another snow day on Tuesday. My reaction -- Yay more time to make up physics!! (the class most of my work was from). So the week we got back--i.e. last week, was only a 3 day school week. It was awesome! Currently, I'm finished all of my make-up work except for tests.

I have a test on Sonnets (which I think I will be okay with. I actually understand them, which kinda scares me sometimes...), vocabulary (easy stuff, shouldn't take more than 20 min.), and a quiz on confidence intervals with means (in statistics, stuff I had to teach myself because I missed that lesson, but I think I get it...sorta...ah, who cares about statistics anyway?) Hehe...

So, my dears, you are finally caught up to what's been going on in my life!! *fireworks and confetti go off while victory fanfare plays*

And on that note, I bid thee farewell!

Keyblade!

So, khconnect, whose blog I follow, had an intresting question which I'm surprised I haven't asked myself before...If you were a keyblade wielder, what would your keyblade look like and what would it be called? So, I brainstormed and designed my keyblade, and decided to design myself in the style of  a Kingdom Hearts Character ^^
 

If you want a closer look, I think you can click on the picture. 

The keyblade I designed kinda has a bunch of typical KH keyblade elements (chains, gems, wings) but I like it and I don't think I've seen any others like it. 

I named it Silent Thorn. Originally, it was going to be Silent Rose, but then there's another keyblade called Rumbling Rose, so I decided on "thorn." It just sounds cool X3

Oh, and I put Radiant Garden in the background because if I was in the game, I would want to live in Radiant Garden because its just a really cool place ^^ Its so colorful!!

I'm very purple. I like it :3

(Purple is my favorite color, if you couldn't tell...)

So, I will repeat the question to you guys: If you were a keyblade wielder, what would your keyblade look like and what would its name be? 

(You don't have to go overboard and draw it like I did. Just a description is fine)

Squid!

 ~otaku-chan~

PS: I have socks in my pocket, and for some reason that makes me happy :)

They're neon polka-dot socks...XP

PPS: I beat Terra and Ventus in BBS!! On the same night!! (Not tonight, it was a few days ago...) Why does Terra's story have to be so freaking sad?! D'X

 (SPOILER: I mean, his final battle is his empty armor with Terra's mind in it fighting against Terranort -- what kh-vids called Xehanort in Terra's body -- I mean, how much sadder can you get?! Terra!! Waaahhhh!!! END SPOILER)

Then, the Final Episode (which I got because my bro already beat all 3 stories), my reaction to just the first part (with Ventus and Aqua, before the battle) was "Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh. What the heck?! WOAH!! That's so COOL!!" -- All in one breath...I haven't gotten any farther though, because its making me use my brother's Aqua data (probably because I haven't beat mine yet) and he and I play VERY differently and its hard to adjust to all his commands and level and everything...Its frustrating...

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!

Keyblades! Yays!

So, the past week I've been really cracking down and working on my keyblade. Olivia (my Oblivion Keyblade) is going quite well if I may say so myself. I've spraypainted her for the most part. I still need to do a final coat to cover any places I missed with the first coats on each side. After that I have to paint some of the details (with just regular acrylic paint) and I should be completely done! XD
I actually took some pictures of what I have done so far. Kinda as like a timeline for progress on it:

So, this is what I started out with. Well, kinda started out with. First I made a template (to scale comparing to a picture of Oblivion) and traced it onto foam board (like those posterboards with foam between the two pieces). Then, I cut them out (which actually hurts your hands A LOT. I was in PAIN from all that cutting with just an itty-bitty razor DX). This pictures shows all three of the layers I cut out stacked on top of each other.

Here's a webcam picture of the partly finished keyblade. Its got the details made out of a papier mache pulp (except at the time this picture was taken, I hadn't done the other side yet XP). No chain yet.

This is much later, when I put the chain and the gem on (made of Model Magic X3). Then I primered the material (to make it easier to spray paint). I actually took these pictures after I spray-painted the first side (I forgot to take the picture before XP) So you can kinda see the black on the sides of it.

This is the spray painted side. And it was interesting because, for a little while, Olivia looked like an Othello piece because she was black on one side and white on the other X3. But anyway. The spray paint isn't completely covering it because I used a can that was already used for something else, so I ran out of paint before I could finish DX. So we went out and got more black shiny spray paint and I painted the next day (which was today X3)

 Still not totally finished. There are a few white spots that I need to fix. But now both sides are spray painted at least a little bit and its really starting to come together. The project that I've been working on since before my birthday (in February of 2010) is FINALLY almost done!! I think it looks pretty awesome. Its turning out a lot better than I originally thought it was going to and that makes me happy! XD Oh, and the chain isn't actually blue, if you were wondering at all. Its a shiny dark silvery kinda color, I just have it covered by the blue painting tape so I don't spray paint it.
And, another project I'm working on for my little sister is Kairi's keyblade. I personally don't think its all that special. Its all flowery and stuff. But she's a seven-year-old girl and she's into that stuff. Plus, the keyblade is pretty simple. I just started it today and I already have it this far done:

The end is obviously not finished. I just have a basic kinda shape in there that I can glue the flowers on to eventually make it look like this:

So, yeah. I'm doing that keyblade for her and eventually, I'm going to work on the Oathkeeper for my little brother because that's his favorite keyblade:

(Its the one that not Oblivion, in case you don't know Kingdom Hearts. Its the white one.)
So, that's all the projects I'm working on right now! Its gotten really fun!

Squid!
~otaku-chan

PS: The random bowl of water in my Kairi keyblade pix is a preparation for the papier mache. Its not just randomly there...0.o

PPS: I got so many weird looks from neighbors passing by as I was outside primer-ing and spray painting Olivia X3. It was actually quite funny.

PPPS: The end of my Oblivion keychain is SO ANNOYING! It keeps breaking! I've finally just taped it together with black electrical tape in hopes that it will finally stay together.

PPPPS: The thing on the end of my Kairi keyblade looks like a piece of toast. Its weird...

PPPPPS: I'm really sorry if this post bored you...I just felt like I had to share the progress I've made because I'm excited about it, but I suppose other people (especially people who don't play Kingdom Hearts) won't be as excited as I am about this...T.T

Kingdom Hearts =D

(Kingdom Hearts II ~mandi-chan on deviantart.com)

I just added a bunch of Kingdom Hearts songs to my playlist!! XD

I didn't add every single one - just my favorite ones and ones that don't give me bad memories from the game...like the Wonderland ones...*cringes*
I got stuck in Wonderland for the longest time in Kingdom Hearts I. I was so confused!!! And that stupid music was just playing over and over again and it still makes me cringe every time I hear it!!!


I'm such a nerd that I can pretty much tell you exactly what's going on in the game when I only hear the song. Its sad. But I'm not the only one!! The comments on the songs on youtube are all about what happens in the game and how the boss was hard, or the boss was awesome, or what people were saying when the song was playing!!

That just goes to show how awesome the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack is. That people actually remember the songs from different parts of the game!!

Probably, my favorite songs are:

1. 13th Struggle (Axel's Battle theme!!!!)

2. Roxas (Roxas' Theme when he gets turned back into/absorbed into Sora -- "It looks like my summer vacation is...over." Its so sad!!!)



3. Shrouding Dark Cloud (When you fight Guard Armor -- don't know why, but that's one of my all-time favorite bosses...and the music is epic and that boss is what made me love Kingdom Hearts first!!)



And I love all the rest of them as well, except the wonderland stuff...

It seems that Kingdom Hearts songs have three categories (1) Battle -- makes you feel like picking up your keyblade and killing off a bunch of Heartless (2) Sad -- makes you feel like crying and hugging your friends (3) Bouncy/Happy -- that you just kind of have to bouncily dance to...

Funny story: I was on the way out of school one day last week and was listening to Simple and Clean (opening version) on my iPod on the bus. It was kinda dark and looked like it was about to storm. It was very much the same atmosphere as the beginning of Kingdom Hearts when those clouds of darkness come and swallow Destiny Island and heartless are crawling around everywhere!! I seriously felt like that creepy voice was going to start talking to me and saying "Do not be afraid." and then I'd have a keyblade in my hand and then Riku would show up and try to drag me into the darkness with him -- like this:



It was epic! (And I would have gone with Riku X3)

On another note, what is it with Kingdom Hearts putting the freakish scary bosses at the beginning?! I mean:





...Those are with, no training in the first one and then with only the little training you might have built up with the nobodies right before the second one...*shrug*...maybe that's what makes these games so awesome!! They're not easy right from the beginning!!

Very sad thing -- I tried to replay Kingdom Hearts II a couple weeks ago. I couldn't get past the Twilight Thorn (the giant nobody). I was in hard mode, but I still thought 'Wow...I'm out of practice...' It made me sad...:(

Sooo...I feel like putting up a bunch of KH Battle videos, so here are what I thought were the hardest bosses in each game:

Kingdom Hearts I:



(And that's how Roxas was born!! -- for Rachel: Sora became a heartless, and when someone becomes a heartless, a nobody is born, ergo Roxas.
Me whenever I play this battle: "Go Riku!! Use the POWER OF OBLIVION!!!!" ...I like this battle...XP)



(now that I think about it...I still haven't beaten Sephiroth...)

Kingdom Hearts II:



(The hardest boss in the series, in my opinion. He actually made me stop playing Kingdom Hearts II for like, a year, when I just couldn't beat him!!!)

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days:



(Mission #66; Day #256. Good luck Rachel XP!! Yeah, usually the heartless aren't hard to beat, but this one was freaking scary-looking and difficult!!)

Now for some awesome battles:



(Xigbar's battle was actually quite hard -- some say the 2nd hardest in KHII. I think he was just annoying. But its interesting to watch him walking around upside-down as he shoots at you...)



(My personal favorite battle. I mean: 2 keyblades, Roxas, Axel, FIRE!! What more could you want?! "Burn, baby!!")



(Dance, water, dance!! And you can skip the first 1:40 min because its just extra stuff that I couldn't find a video without...In watching this, I realized that Demyx has very sudden mood swings)



(Glomps Riku in the middle of battle?? Zexion does just want to be loved!! XD)



(OMZ! Light-sabers!!)



(Snowflakes of doom!!
And at first when Riku took the flying thingy, I thought he was just going to say, "Screw you, Sora! I'm outta here -- dragons are scary!!"
Yeah, this one was pretty hard, too...I'm not good with the ones you actually have a strategy to use and you can't just hit random buttons...I lost to this 10 times!! And I had to watch the cutscenes over and over and over and over again!!!!)

And to go along with this Kingdom-Hearts-themed post, I drew a couple things this week and last week:
They are both pictures/attempts at Lea (aka Axel's somebody) from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. I didn't have reference pictures for these, so I just drew what I could remember of his outfit from the few times I saw pictures of him X3
The picture above has a smiley-face. That was Kat-chan's doing -- I was drawing this during Envirothon =) And he is holding matches because at first I had him with fire, but Katherine pointed out that since he's not Axel yet, he doesn't have fire, so she suggested matches and I figured, 'Sure, why not?'

In this one, I wanted to draw Axel and his former self together. I like this one better than the other one, mostly because of their faces. I almost NEVER get Axel's face right, but I did pretty well this time, so I'm happy X3. They're holding sea-salt ice-cream because I couldn't think of anything else to have them hold. I think it looks cute though! ^__^
And I realized that I like drawing sneakers. They can be difficult sometimes, but they always make a picture look much more detailed when you draw the shoes detailed!!

Wow, really really long post X3.
If you made it this far, congratulations!!!! You win a virtual cookie!! *hands cookie to you*

I apologize for the many videos. I realize they may be boring for some...
Rachel, if you actually got through all this, I hope you see why I love the other Kingdom Hearts games so much!!

So ends the long post dedicated to my first love: Kingdom Hearts!! (well, actually, my first love was the Backstreet Boys...I was in preschool. I didn't know any better...)
