01:47 2 of Lee's expressions in Naruto ch. 469 sum up my feelings on this recent development. #
01:48 And for the record, I would have been okay with it, if it didn't feel so forced and that there's one OTHER loose end to tie up. Jeez. #
01:48 BTW, Happy Halloween! #
00:35 Halloween is sadly over. I still have work that needs to be done this week. And my right knee is acting up. #

Writer's Block: RIP Michael Jackson

2009-07-01T04:08:48Z

In honor of the King of Pop: What is your favorite Michael Jackson song?

Submitted By deathbylies

View 507 Answers

Where do I start? There are so many to choose from.

One of my favorites is Earth Song, which in my opinion is beautiful in bringing a message about our Earth and everyone on it. Then there's Man in the Mirror for a similar reason.

The rest are as follows:
-Bad
-Leave Me Alone
-Billie Jean
-Beat It
-Smooth Criminal (can't beat the classics, and I'm looking at you Alien Ant Farm)
-Black or White
-You Are Not Alone
-Speechless (lesser known, but I enjoy this one so much)
-Thriller (an all-time favorite of mine)
-Dirty Diana (is a fun one)

Top o' the morning to you! Has anyone ever pinched you for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day?

Nope. Not ever in high school (the bane of my existance) was I pitched. Of course, I was smart enough to wear a green color that particular day. ;)

And of course, as a Transformers fan, I cannot forget about my favorite Autobots and Decepticons. My top favorites being Optimus Prime as well as Ironhide, Jazz, Rachet, Red Alert, Tracks, Bumblebee, Trailbreaker, Skywarp, Thunkcracker, Starscream, just to name a few. :)

It's the last day in office for George Bush. There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about Bush's legacy. What do you think he will be most remembered for?

He would be most remembered for Bushisms, which will and still generated a lot of laughs despite him being the worst president we've had.

Writer's Block: Untimely Passing

RIP John Lennon. The list of sudden and unexpected celebrity deaths is long—Princess Di, Heath Ledger, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe, and many more. Which one affected you the most on an emotional level?

View 500 Answers

Should have responded to this yesterday but better late than never.

Heath Ledger's death shocked me a lot. It was so unexpected that it happened. However, the death that impacted me the most was Steve Irwin. And I still remember that Labor Day every well. I was getting ready to have a nice, fun, relaxing day until my mom told me the news and I ran straight into my room and stayed there for most of the day. I couldn't believe what I had just heard, especially when I was going through the articles online about this. After that, reality sunk in and I was devastated. I had lost what was my biggest idol. I loved watching his show and I had gained so much respect and appreciation for everything he had ever done.

In fact, about a week after, I had a dream about him: I was in Australia at the Australian Zoo standing by his grave. Suddenly, he appears next to me, telling to me he's okay. When I woke up, I started crying a little bit since I was so depressed for awhile. And that dream allowed me to better cope. I know it probably seems strange to grieve that way for a person I do not know personally, but in some ways, losing an idol like that makes it seem like losing someone important to you like a family member or friend.

Spike and Angel, President Roslin and Gaius Baltar, Harry and Hermione—shippers often find pairings that the original author might have overlooked. What coupling of fictional characters would you most like to see?

View 502 Answers

A question I'd most likely try to stay away from, especially after the uproar in Harry Potter. But this time, I'm making a personal exception.

In most of the fandoms I'm in, I'm usually content with the chosen pairing. Harry Potter, I'd pretty much called it on Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione (my favorite pairings and ones that made the most sense). Avatar, I'm fine with Aang/Katara, though at this point for Zuko/Mai, I'm neutral. Before I would be upset, being I still prefer Zuko/Song and even Zuko/Jin or Zuko/Katara. But I'm cool now.

But to answer the question, I think that is pretty limited to Naruto, especially a few pairings I happen to enjoy, even though I believe they probably won't happen: Lee/Sakura, Naruto/Sakura, Naruto/Hinata, and even Shikamaru/Temari. Right now, the artist/writer isn't quite clear on which pairing will happen if any. But that's okay because romance is currently not the main focus of Naruto, as it ought to be. But still, I crave at least some direction, am I right?

And I think that's pretty much it. It's funny since I'm not really an active shipper, not like I used to be.

What were you doing on September 11th, 2001? How do the events of that day hold meaning for you now?

View 500 Answers

I remember precisely what I was doing on that day. I was in class in my freshman of high school. I didn't hear anything about the attack until I got to my second class, Home Economics, which my teacher happened to turn the TV on and there was the Twin Towers burning. But at that time, I had no idea what was going on, but I knew that a tragedy was occurring. Once I've heard what truly happened in my Journalism class, I was in shock as was everyone, including the teachers. And throughout the entire day, all classes were put on hold and had their televisions turned on to watch as the events unfolded and the aftermath soon after.

I look back on those events now, and I'm sadden by them. Those people whose lives were lost that day shouldn't have. They were normal people doing their daily job and then suddenly this tragic happens. And to this day, I've kept the magazines documenting the event and intend to forever keep them as everyone has done. And three years ago in 2005, I visited Ground Zero and even though I never visited WTC, it had a personal effect on me about went on.

Something to think heavily about

2008-06-26T04:54:02Z

Through the years since I've had my livejournal, you and obviously me have realize I usually never talk about the extremely personal stuff that happens within my family. Usually, I chat about myself, my interests, hobbies, and my thoughts for the moment. Many of those thoughts pertain to things I'm really focused about. Why don't I talk about my family life and some of my family members that much? Mostly out of the fact that it's really personal and I feel I should not let EVERYONE know our business, even though a selected few (those who watch on my friends list) read my posts. Occasionally, I get bored just talking about things that interest me all the time or share a particular concern for. I think maybe I should talk about some of the things, but just leave out some details or keep those posts private. For example, my poor grandmother. Over the last few years, she has been mentally unstable. And just recently, she has been put in a nursing home because she was unable to care for herself. Even though I rarely talk about it, I worry for her. And the sad thing is, my mom, dad, brother, aunt, and uncle knew this would happen eventually, but were powerless to do anything because of her stubbornness and independent streak.

You can understand how I generally don't want to talk about something like this. I may think about it, but I won't say anything unless it's private. Again, it's because I view it as personal, very personal because it's my family and no one should know about what goes on in our lives. But I can look at this another way: I'm sure there's plenty of people out there like me who would rather not feel compelled to talk about serious issues like this because they see it as personal. And I know I'm not alone on this. However, it does feel helpful every now and then to express said feelings about the serious stuff. But that's if we (and I) only want to.

Pics to come

2008-05-27T20:53:57Z

For real this time. Probably later this week. Why suddenly? Got my Premium Ironhide today and I feel the need to show off my Transformers collection (as well as my Avatar collection). Still no split rings though to finish my keyblade chain. Of course then again, what can I expect when the seller is all the way in Hong Kong? I may have to email the person and see what's taking so long or just ask for a refund. Speaking of which, gotta paid that deposit for my Toph costume and very soon. But formally, decision time is approaching soon for art school and I have to decide which I want to go for.

I forgot to mention a few things about Okami a few entries back such as it has a really go start in the game so far, but I got a little confused at the beginning. Of course, the intro was LONG! A few times I was like "enough already!" But that was the only con as far as I saw and it was very necessary and I'm loving the graphics and artwork of it. Still have to finish KH2 though. I'm nearing the end of it and I think I'll skip Seiphroth(sp?) this time.

Also I feel the need to draw some and not just sketches, but storyboard stuff and hopefully some animation. This is purely just for fun. And something random--why do I feel the sudden urge to ship Optimus and Elite as my OTP Transformers pairing? It's weird, especially since I still have some catching up to do as far as G1 episodes are concerned. I guess I'm just weird like that. :\
