A place for all the daily things in my life that make me think I'm living in a Dane Cook joke.

TV = Bleach = Clorox?!
What the heck does it have to do with bleach?!
I mean, after 29 episodes (that's how much I've watched so far) you'd think you could at least piece it together. Naruto = main character's name (original, huh?), Death Note = kid gets a notebook of death, Fullmetal Alchemist = Ed's title, Ouran High School Host Club = self explanitory, but Bleach? We got a spikey-headed kid running around fighting ghosts with Cloud's Buster Sword. Don't get me wrong, I like the show, but what kind of title is that?!
OK, here's where I get to be mean. I really don't like Orihime. I mean, c'mon man, she's an idiot! And yet she's more useful than Sakura was through at least the first 72 episodes of Naruto...

Father's Day PSA
My sister is my mother and my father is a man-whore. Sounds kind of like a riddle, huh? No, no, no, I'm not talking about my parents right now, I love them to death. This is a nice way of describing my birth parents. The rest of the story isn't anybody else's business, so consider this what you'd read on the back of my tell-all book.
You got both of your real parents? Great! You still got your real mother or father? Still good. My parents right now may not be my biological parents, but they're the best thing that's ever happened to me. My sister is just that, a sister, a friend. I love her, but I don't know if I could've accepted her as my mother. I know she worrys about me, too, and I'm glad one of them still cares about me.
I've never met my biological father. Honestly, you know what he is to me? A jackass. I talked to my sister about him one time, and she asked why I hated him and not her. I'd never really thought about it before then. I said then that it was because he left and she didn't. I don't know, that may actually be why I don't care for him. I do intend to meet him someday, though, and find out for myself. Heck, if I look at it all from the right angle, I've pieced my family together through friends and half-relatives. But hey, they love me, and I'm perfectly happy with that. Thanks for being there for me, guys, love you all! :)
This goes out to all my family: Mom, Dad, Kim, Christy, Summer, Brianna, Tyler, Chris (who gave me the inspiration for this; I know how you feel, and hope you can get on better terms with it someday), Mr. C, and Alex.

WIP!
(And if you look close enough, not close enough to see the stitching, but still close, you might see where I've got it pinned since I'm still working on it. Wal-Mart has a severe lack of belt buckles. Also, gloves are the worst!)
Updatishness!
I know it's almost childish, but I'm kind of jealous right now. I can't say who because I don't even really know (said person may or may not have been at band camp two years ago...??) but I have good reason. And facebook! It is both my best friend and worst enemy!
OK, time to let my dorkiness shine through: I've been working on a cosplay costume. Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. Almost done, just missing some details. I know, I'm a dork. I want to get some pictures on here, but my camera's acting up and the ones I have on m laptop are pretty old. They look like pieces of material, now I can wear it and you'll know who I am! In fact, I'll go put on what I've got so I can get a good picture for this. Man, I am a dorkfish.

Looking Back: 9th Grade
Wow, now that I think about it, my brother was actually here for almost half of this year. He had to move in November. Back then I was still that quiet little person with almost no friends and only ever played E rated games. Yes, I was that person! My first M was Assassin's Creed 2, and MAN had I been missing out! I remember the night I got it, too. Dad got us out at midnight to go to a Wal-Mart like an hour away from where we usually go. The lady got the game for me then turned around and was all "Are you seventeen?" and I said "No..." I almost felt bad for buying that game. Anyway, a big part of what helped me this year was this class called Personal Development. Now none of us knew what it was, some thought it was sex ed, others like a psychology thing, y'know? But it's actually more like leadership. Anyway, we had to make a speech in front of the whole class almost every week, and a year ago I could've never done anything like that, but now I'm OK with it.
I remember all those football games and being kind of clueless when stuff happened, askin' the guys what was goin' on. Some of them didn't know either, but still. I remember standin' all alone in the bleachers so I went and stood with the trumpets and stickin' my flute in Corey's face when I was about to play. I also remember losing my hat, which I never found... Hopefully Mr. C will figure it out.
I'm pretty sure this semester was a bit more eventful. I was hangin' around more people, and I've got three best friends now and a load of friends. I got higher grades and more awards, which was kind of odd I guess. I don't feel like I worked hard. But like I said, I found out who my friends were and I found out who's still not worth my time and I found out who really should be. The guy I told y'all about with his girlfriend and all? His daughter was born this month, the 5th I think. Oh, he rubbed me the wrong way a while back. But that was my lesson in karma for the year. I mean it can't've been that bad since me and the other guy are still friends, but Mr. Teenage Dad needs to mind his own freakin' business.
Oh man, I played Left 4 Dead 2 for the first time this year, and I love me some zombie killin'! And Ellis's Keith stories are the best! I also played Final Fantasy XIII and the first Assassin's Creed for the first time just here recently. Haven't finished any of them, but L4D was borrowed (thanks, bro!), one's my nephew's, and the other is mine, but I've been on a gaming hiatus since I had to give up my zombies.
Man, so much crazy junk happened this year, I don't even know how I made it through. Glad I did, though. I made it through with more confidence, how to play rummy, my BFFs, zombie snippin', karma, memories of coaches playing dodgeball, and finally watchin' The Hangover. All in all, great year.
(Between you and me, I miss Oklahoma like mad. What I wouldn't give for a drive around Blackwell and some Braum's ice cream... As many memories as I have out there, I just don't think I could give up my place here, in Mississippi. Love y'all :) )

If you like this, you'll love...
- If you like Twilight, you'll love the House of Night series!
OK, even I've read Twilight. I never thought it was that great, but there are some people out there who would die if they met Edward fricking Cullen. But the House of Night? Man, what a story. And it comes from an author who was already pretty well known! It's got romance, vampires, suspense... Many things that Twilight did rather poorly.
- If you like Harry Potter, you'll love The Alchemist!
Ah, magic is in the air! Haha! While HP is pretty much over, save for a movie, The Alchemist is a book I picked up a few years ago while in Oklahoma, and I never put that sucker down the whole time we were out there until I got done with it. Two days straight, just reading! I've got the second book, but have been preoccupied. I'm pretty sure they're still writing them, but I'm not sure. But hey, get to Amazon and buy yourself that book!
- If you like Avatar, you'll love Naruto!
I know, dorky, huh? And I'm talking about the real Avatar, not the crappy movie with the over sized Smurfs. In a lot of ways, Naruto actually reminds me of the old show. You'd just have to watch it to smell what I'm stepping in. Remember, give it a chance!
- If you like gaming, you'll love cosplay!
I take that back, this is probably worse than Naruto. I have to say, cosplay is just about the craziest form of creativity. Still, go check out JenxtheJinx on YouTube or The Legend of Neil. Hilarity ensues.
- If you like Left 4 Dead, you'll love Zombieland!
OK, this pretty much goes without saying. It's zombies, man! Except in Zombieland, you're watching zombies and L4D you actually kill them. Well, movies are for people (like me) who are kinda sucky at first-person shooters.
Well that's all for now, just thought I'd update! I thought it was a pretty good idea, anyway...
