W00t! New anime time! Well, actually they've been around for a while, but since Pitas has been having *coughs* issues *coughs* writing entries these days is becoming a damn chore. Can't believe I lost the other ones. Do they realize that it's so damn hard to get thoughts on screen like this?? Okay, enough with the ranting and on to the new shows that are bound to be good replacements for the 'Fall' season. ^_^

Peacemaker Kurogane: By far, the BEST show so far. It follows the Kenshin line hence it's a Samurai show, but damn! There are enough bishies in there to last me a lifetime. My favorite and bound to be fangirls favorite is going to be dear, precious, Okita who by the way, makes no effort to hide the fact that he is sooooo gay.

And it doesn't hurt that he's a killer swordsman as well. But alas! He isn't the main character of the show. That goes to the uber kawaii Tetsu - a fifteen year old who wants to join the Shinsengumi and exact revenge on his parents death. Definitely action packed and fun! I highly recommend this one.

Gilgamesh: This is dark...very DARK. Mostly grays and blacks in the background. Constant rain...dreary...but a very intriguing storyline if you pay very close attention. It follows the tale of a brother and sister who are being chased by two different factions. One of which is Gilgamesh, a terrorist organization run by their father, who had once almost destroyed the world. The other faction wants to fight against Gilgamesh and hence need the two kids to help them. Lots of cool fight scenes and use of psychic and supernatural powers. Very interesting storyline.

Full Metal Alchemist: Haha! I LOVE this show! Not only is it heartwarming, it is incredibly funny and kickass all rolled into one. This follows the tale of two brothers Al and Edward, who are alchemists (and pretty damn good ones too.)In an attempt to revive their mother back to life, they went against the law of Alchemists, which states that one cannot create a human due to punishing law of...conservation?? (Not sure) Anyhoo, if you wish to bring back a life, you are going to have to sacrifice something of yourself as well. In this case, Al lost his body, while Edward lost an arm and a leg. Al's soul is now confined in the body of a metal armor and Edward has something called Automail which are basically robotic arm and leg replacements. Lots of adventures, funny lines and the last episode was pretty damn touching *sniffles* But damn Edward is so cool! Bishie alert! ^^

Hmm...that would have to do for now. I am getting pretty sleepy and tomorrow is school, go figure. ^^

I woke up this morning and turned on the radio only to hear this story that has me shaking my head and wondering what is happening to our school systems here in the States...especially here in Georgia.

GIRL EXPELLED

To summarize, a 14yr old girl is being expelled from the school system for a year for writing a FICTIONAL story about a teacher getting killed by a student. In the story itself, the student is even DREAMING the entire thing.
Why should I care? Because I was 14 once and I used to write at that age. I put myself in her shoes and wonder how I would have felt if someone had tried to expel me for putting my thoughts to paper. She made the mistake of showing it to others, but I ask you...is that such a bad thing to want to share your talent with others?
If every shy writer sees this - anyone who had been hoping that someone out there might approve his or her story reads and hears this news...just how will they take it? Wouldn't it stifle one's creativity? Wouldn't he or she feel as if they can't adequately write how they feel without having the nagging feeling that they are going to be PUNISHED for writing their thoughts?!
I just felt so upset and sad when I heard the news this morning. I can understand the need for schools to be wary of students these days and for trying to keep the 'peace', but if it involves punishing others for their talents...then that is a whole other issue altogether.

Somedays I just sit and wonder why I was born a female. If I had known that I was going to go through hell for one week of every month for the rest of my life (until I reach menopause), I would have tried to make a bargain with God to change my sex immediately. *sigh* It's a pain and yes, I am going to bitch and whine about it because I am feeling bitchy and whiny right now. My mood swings are so erratic, it's a miracle anyone is standing next to me right now. And the worse part of it all is that I have to be in class in a few minutes. To sit through almost three hours of a lecture I dread with this mind numbing pain...I can take only so much.
I tried to drink something hot as a good friend suggested, but I feel even worse now - more drowsy than anything. Taking painkillers numbs the pain for like an hour and then I am back to feeling like someone is doing the tango in my stomach. Aargh! I hate being womanly at this point! Give me a mustache and a beer gut and a penis for a week and I will take it gladly!
And wouldn't you believe it, my muse for our dear wolf boys decides to show up today. I am beginning to think that I have a special muse that I will call the 'PMSer' - it only shows itself in my time of pain.

I dropped by Lil's house today, a couple of other guys who used to be in my old Chem/gym class were there as well. It wasn't a party per se. More like a study party because everyone had their textbooks with them. *lol* Anyhoo, she decided it would be fun to make us drinks like these + A strawberry Margarita +. Oi...I can understand you trying to make drinks for the 'party' but I thought you were supposed to be _studying!_. I can't hold alcohol very well and so I managed to drink up only half of it. It tasted good, but I didn't want to overdo it, if you know what I mean. Speaking of studying, I think I have gotten down the calculations for the report. I just need to start typing it up and then see what happens from there.
When I am not busy stressing over online stuff, I go to my source of refuge....Stephen King!. My current reading selection is Desperation. El creepo in a very good way. :D I am still in the beginning pages and it never ceases to amaze me at how brutal King is with his description of death scenes or his gross out imagery. *shudders*. Note to self: Work on imagery to rival my mentor's. ^_^
Random thought for the day: I am sure that Wufei would have a really, really nice ass, if he ever got to expose it. *insert evil hentai grin here*

Wait a sec, I was supposed to be studying tonight, ne? So much for that. ^^ Any hoo, some very interesting things to show you all tonight while browsing one of my favorite sites. :D

Gackt, Gackt, Gackt!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful Man

The photo gallery there is very interesting to see. One such thing that caught my eye was the pictures taken by someone who had visited Harajuku. According to a forum writer:
Harajuku is not a word, it's the name of a place. It's a hip neighbourhood on the Yamanote line, not far from Shinjuku where a lot of young people hang out.

Harajuku Girls

Check out the entire photo section if you have the time to. Very cool stuff to see and learn! ^^

Groggy...barely awake...stuck with a gigantic mug of coffee, which tastes like muck! Bleh! So anyway, what happened to me this past week, besides being beside myself at seeing a work of mine on print. :D Hmmm...oh yeah! My grandparents are here as you must know already...well they really aren't my 'real' grandparents - they are the parents to my sister's husband. Anyway, the sister's husband's sister...*blinks* eh...the sister-in-law dropped by to spend a weekend with us - more to spend time with her mom and Dad than anything. Maybe it's in her blood or something, but immediately she walked through the door, she was already demanding to be taken to the grocery store to buy enough groceries to last us a lifetime. Not that we are complaining or anything. :P
Anyhoo, she makes me (of course) take her to the store and then she buys and buys and buys and then comes back home and begins to cook as if we are having a thanksgiving dinner or something. Needless to say, my sister was more than thrilled to find out that she would never need to lift a finger for the rest of the weekend because the sister-in-law had decided to make the kitchen her friend. Hoorah for me too, because it meant I didn't have to start worrying about what to prepare for the grandparents (Honestly, dealing with their special meals can be such a chore.)
But as they say all good things must come to an end and she had to go back home yesterday afternoon. *sighs* I miss her cooking already.
It was the sister's turn to take the kids to their soccer games on Saturday. Well, guess what? She screwed up the times and venue and by the end of the day NEITHER of the kids went to any of their games. She had driven to the wrong stadium and had gotten the wrong times...*shakes head* sometimes I worry about my sister. In the end, she took them to the circus/fair. I think that kept their mind off the disappointment for missing their games on that day.
And yet I have another rant. There is this woman, who is my sister's friend, that has the nasty habit of dumping her kid here every weekend it seems like. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am all for promoting the love amongst friends and stuff, but geez! The mother of the kid seems to have taken things for granted these days. She drops him off on Friday night around midnight or so and this time around, she just picked him up THIS MORNING! Monday morning, the day for school, she shows up to pick up her son?? Man..talk about eating your cake and having it too. It's damn aggravating.
What are my plans for this week? Nothing as of right now. I am hoping that I can find out what's going on with my scholarship application and then going to hunt for more jobs again. Can't believe I haven't found anything yet...*sighs*
