Zack AMV
I found out how to put youtube on the blog!! Yay! This is much easier than trying to upload the video from my computer directly. So, here's my Zack AMV!
Weeeee!!!!
We finally got the PSP back after sending it off to get repaired!! (Well, actually, they have a policy that they send you back someone else's repaired PSP because it would take too long for them to fix yours. But I'm okay with that, this one is actually cooler. Its black and shiny!!! My brother thought it had a scratch and I got on a rant about how they shouldn't send you one that is in worse condition than your original. Then I looked at it and I'm like, "Jacob...That's not a scratch. That a piece of something that stuck to the screen and I scratched it off and it was gone." Jacob: "...Oh..." Me: *facepalm*)
But anyway, now I can play Crisis Core again!!! I get to play as my Zacky!!! WOOT!!!!
(the simplest things make me very happy)
Speaking of which, manga-dealer-chan and chibi-chan went to New York with the Japanese exchange students on Friday. It sounded like an okay trip, but their group did not want to go to the giant Borders and they were both mad about that...The thing that made me think of this was that manga-dealer-chan told me at lunch today that she got uber-excited when they got lunches and they came with sporks!! SPORKS!!! XO
And the same trip apparently made chibi-chan have a very...odd...dream. In NY, they saw an M&M commercial with a giant M&M that wants to eat everybody and something about a kaleidoscope (I actually spelled this right the first time XD). So then she watched my Zack AMV and the two got mixed into one crack-ish dream:
It was like she was looking through a kaleidoscope at the world and Zack was engaged in battle with the giant M&M. Zack won by using chocolate's worst enemy: the Sun (which I was unaware Zack had power over...). So he melted the M&M's chocolate innards and all he had to do was stab it in order to drink the M&M's chocolate guts. Then Cloud came, called Zack weird, and then discovered that he had an intense sweet-tooth and commenced eating the chocolate with Zack. Then Sephiroth came. He was angry that they did not invite him to eat chocolate with them...The End.
Chibi-chan is strange...(Yeah, I'm one to talk with my dreams about: being chased by a hippie on a unicycle, teachers throwing rocks at me while I'm skateboarding through the skate-park that the school turned into, grass taking over the world, and vicious otakus killing each other over a video game...X3).
But anyway, I'm happy about the PSP. That was originally all I was going to say.

Church
I'm on my upstairs computer right now (as opposed to my laptop) and my posts look very pink on this computer!!! They look way more purple on my laptop!!! Its so weird!!! I like the purple better!
So anyway, I sang today in church!! It went okay. I was really nervous beforehand and I felt like I was going to pass out and throw up at the same time. Then, I got onstage (because of course, we moved to the auditorium and now the worship team has to be onstage) and I felt better. I was surprisingly comfortable! Though it is weird with the monitor things that they have facing the team so we can hear ourselves sing. It was very weird and difficult to get used to...X/
Overall it went well.
However, they had a prayer for the guy at my church who died. And since I didn't break down last night, I broke down this morning on stage. So I was crying in front of about 150 people while trying and probably failing to sing at that point. And I had no where to put my tissues!!! I was wearing a dress-like thing, so I couldn't even put them in my pocket and there was definitely no trash can on stage!!! Aaaahhhh!!!! (Its sad that the thing I was freaking out about more was that I had no where to put my tissues...)
My Dad had a theory about my crying (which I wouldn't have normally done in front of so many people. I would usually be able to control my emotions). He said that God was probably using my crying on stage to help someone in the audience - kinda to let them see that it is okay to cry about it if they need to. If I saw someone up on stage crying I would think Well at least I'm not her! And then I would feel okay about crying in public. In the car, my dad said jokingly, "Its makes you feel kinda violated, doesn't it? Being made a fool of to help other people?"
I just laughed. I dunno if I feel violated, I mean I'm open to being used by God for stuff like helping other people. It was embarrassing, but it wasn't as bad as it may seem. I always kind of pray about that. Not exactly that I will be made a fool of, but that I can in some way be an inspiration to people or be an example or something, but this works too X3.
I had a lot of people come and talk to me. It was weird. I'm not usually talked to. I wasn't even able to listen to my ipod after church today!! I always do that!
So it was an interesting day, and its only 1:30!

Updates
1. The father in the family at my church died tonight around 8:45pm. Its sad that I won't see him at church again, but I know I'll see him in heaven eventually and that takes away some of the pain. I just thought I'd let you guys know since I asked you to pray about it in another post earlier this week.
2. I finished my Zack AMV. And, as with all of my other videos on youtube, I'm in the process of disputing the copyright claim and hopefully they accept it and my video goes up!
WARNING: There are spoilers of the end of Crisis Core if you care about that at all. (I actually watched the end of the game before we ever got the game and it didn't ruin anything for me, but it might for some people because its a kinda major thing that happens...)
3. I know Kat and Rachel have watched Demyx Time (at least 1 or 2 episodes at my birthday party). But if anyone else reading this has not, you MUST watch. (Though I forewarn you that it should be probably PG-13 rated because there is cursing and some yaoi-ish scenes, but kinda not really because its two girl cosplayers acting out two male characters making out...so I'm totally sure what to call that...???)
But anyway, the update related to that was that the cosplayers of Demyx, Axel, Larxene, and Xemnas held a live chat today at 6ish, I think. (EST time. <--repetitive, I know...They said at one point it was around 11pm there-In England, but that was maybe an hour or two into the chat). So that was really interesting to watch. Whoever was there could type in a question and they would read the questions and answer them. Some were very random and funny and it was a fun thing to watch, even though it kinda froze a couple times (but that's understandable with a live online chat).
Oh, and their deviantart accounts (the reason I knew about this online thing) are:
http://tealpirate.deviantart.com/ ---- Jenn, aka Demyx
http://kellyjane.deviantart.com/ ----Kelly, aka Axel
http://one-sky-one-destiny.deviantart.com/ ----Laura, aka Larxene
http://tomoyo-hime.deviantart.com/ ----Amala, aka Xemnas
These are just the ones that were doing the video. If you go onto their pages and find where they list the other Parle Productions members, you can find the other people that do videos with them X3
I think that is all. I hope this video uploads, though!!! It still hasn't gone up!! (if there is no AMV up at #2, then you know I got frustrated with this and just put up the post without the video)
~otaku
PS: I got into the National Honors Society!!! I just got the letter today!!
(Last year, I tried to get in, but I wasn't accepted and I was put off and got into this whole identity crisis and it was a disaster! So I applied this year, with my essay displaying some of my frustration with the process last year, and I didn't really care whether they accepted me or not this year, but they did!! So now I am happy X3)

Sorry...
Sorry for all the posts :/
(its ironic that I'm making another post apologizing for making so many posts X3)
I have a theory that if I do a post between video posts, the video will load faster. I'm seeing if it is going to work...
Another thing:
I want to use song lyrics in my title description, but I'm not sure which ones to use...
"Its just another war
Just another family torn
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live."
~Skillet, Hero
"There's something inside that box you closed
that only opens when your life explodes"
~Run Kid Run, Captives Come Home
"Stand in the rain, stand your ground
Stand up when its all crashing down"
~Superchick, Stand in the Rain
"You can't make me feel this way
You won't make me run away
Can't understand my chemistry
Laugh if that makes me ordinary!"
~Thousand Foot Krutch, Ordinary
"Sunset, I close my eyes
I pretend everything's alright.
Drowning in anger from all these lies,
I can't pretend everything's alright."
~RED, Shadows
"Took awhile to see all the love that's around me
Through the highs and lows
There's a truth that I know
And its you..."
~Thousand Foot Krutch, Breathe You In
"We are words on pages that we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story, slowly unfolding
Beautiful words"
~The Afters, Beautiful Words
"One tear in the driving rain
One voice in a sea of pain
Could the maker of the stars
Hear the sound of my breaking heart?"
~Tenth Avenue North, Hold My Heart
"We'll never take this world
Unless we make a head on collision"
~Hawk Nelson, Head On Collsion
"When all around me starts to fall
And when my faith it seems so small
Even in my darkest hour, I will believe.
When the sun begins to fall
And when I feel nothing at all
Even if I'm all alone, I will believe."
~Mainstay, Believe
"Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
Its hard to surrender to something I can't see
I'm giving in to something heavenly"
~Sanctus Real, Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly)
"Time to face up, clean this old house.
Time to breath in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears."
~Sanctus Real, Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly)
"Start it up, turn it on.
We can ride this storm
A grip of hope in our hands
For the coming dawn
Up to our necks in complexities
Causing us to pause
As we collect our thoughts"
~Tobymac, Ignition
So tell me what you think of these quotes. I may listen or I may totally ignore it because someone else told me that I should use that one (I can be stubborn like that sometimes for no reason at all...X3)

Tsubasa AMV
So, I've been trying to put up my FMA: Brotherhood AMV, but it wasn't working :(
But this one is, and its Tsubasa, so yay!!
Not-so-yay is the fact that this was on youtube for maybe 24 hours before it was muted (stupid copyright claims) then, I disputed. Apparently I lost because they completely romoved the video from youtube...
Its not one of my best videos anyway, but its still cool. (I think so, at least X3)
Blog Picture
I need help choosing which background to put behind my blog title. I kinda like the one I have now--its colorful and its got Tsubasa (my favorite manga!! X3) but I'm very indecisive and I have so many pictures I like...I don't want it ending up like my computer wallpaper that I change almost every day (I have Zack right now X3)

X/
I'm singing for the first time on Sunday on stage at my church for worship!! AHHHHH!!! (I'm really nervous, can you tell?) I don't know how to use a microphone or anything and I have no idea whether I'm good or bad at singing!!
Random: In the thought process surrounding that, I realized that my church has some strange obsession with "J" names:
Janet
Jamie
Jonquil
John
John
John
John
Jacob
Jared
Joshua
Jarod
Joel
Josiah
Jake
...There are many Johns...X3
I realized that I've been talking about church a lot...well, nothing much has been happening with school except lots and lots of homework (7 page research paper outline that I finished at 1:30am!!!) I know 7 pages isn't all that much, but it is when you're doing it all in one night and you haven't read any of your sources yet...Yay procrastination!!!
In the otaku news:
1. I am working on a Zack Fair AMV to the song Kryptonite by Three Doors Down (awesome song X3)
2. I'm still saving up for a PS3. I've actually made absolutely no progress towards that goal as I do not have a job yet.
3. I really want to cosplay. I rant to my brother about this all the time and sometimes to other people. I don't know who exactly I want to cosplay. (My top choice right now is an organization xiii member. That way, I can be pretty much any of them I want, I just have to change the wig.) I'm thinking about learning how to sew...Dunno how that's gonna work out...that's definitely a project for the summer...That and my Oblivion Keyblade I'm making X3
4. FMA manga is really reaching its end!!! (And am I the only one who finds it creepy that the "father" of the homunculus looks like an evil-sexy-topless-god-like version of Ed??? (I mean, major chibi-chan kind of fangirl moment when I saw him. I could picture her reaction. There would be lots of squealing...))
5. FMA: Brotherhood has to be my favorite anime. It actually follows along with the manga and its moving really fast! Its only episode 48ish and its already on Ed's fight with Pride!! That's so awesome!!
6. Other animes I watch/watched/recommend:
~otaku
PS: Every time I see or hear or even think the words "amazing" I think of Axel clapping and saying "Simply amazing, Roxas" "Axel" "You really do remember me this time? I'm SO FLATTERED" (woosh, then ring of fire!!!)
"But you're too late" (cool battle pose with epic chakrams. creepy-but-hot smile)
(Roxas dramatically summons 2 keyblades. woosh!)
"Two?!"
(epic Axel battle music. Fight ensues)
"Come here, I'll make it all stop!"
At least, that's what I think he says. I'm not sure of the first line in the battle. That line sounds very suggestive for some reason...now I need mind bleach...curse my dirty mind...
"Burn, baby!!" (whoosh and floor catches on fire)
(clash, clash, clash)
"Roxas!" (end of battle. slow motion dramatic final attack)
(Flashback to cute scene with Axel trying to stop Roxas from leaving the Organization - "You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!" "No one would miss me." "That's not true! - I would..." awwww.....)
"Axel..."
"Let's meet again - in the next life."
"Yeah, I'll be waiting."
(chuckles) "Silly...Just because you have a next life -" (fades into darkness)
PPS: Wow. I just recited the whole scene from memory. That's sad...

- Letter Bee (love the manga. haven't been keeping up with the anime as much, but what I watched is pretty good, but they're taking awfully long to find Gauche again...)
- 07 Ghost (amazing anime! Its completed, so far. Dunno if they're going to make any more episodes. The manga and anime are both awesome!!)
- Kuroshitsuji (aka. Black Butler. Its got Sebastian in it! What more could you want?! The anime is awesome, I think. It actually branched from the manga and ended the story in a different kind of way, but I thought they actually did a pretty good job of it)
- Code Geass (Its just too awesome to explain. Its really mainly in anime, not manga)
- Howl's Moving Castle (Its a movie, but I think it is my favorite anime movie X3)
