~Ed~Fan~- I haven't seen Red vs. Blue in a long time, (when Halo 2 first came out was the last time I saw it D:) but I still think Donut is hilarious. (My favorite part in the series that I've seen was: "I'll be Double-O Donut!" "You mean like DOOnut?") My username... well... I don't know any Japanese, really (I used a translation website XD). But 'muzai' means 'innocence' and 'taizai' means 'stay'. I mainly used those two words because they sound cool together. XD

My thoughts:
- I forgot to study for Earth Science. I'm doomed. D:

Going under the assumption that they're bashing them, I agree.

No one's forcing you to watch it in English, so stick to your precious fansubs where seiyuu can supposedly do no wrong at all and leave the dub-watchers alone.

[Sorry, I've just encountered way too many people like that, and am embittered by it.]
Nekokitty
^Yup, I'm talking about the ones that bash dubs.
And they're all like "Lol u aint tru fan if u wtch it in english, u have 2 watch on utube with subs lol"

And don't worry I'm in complete agreement with you. They irratate the hell out of me as well. >.<

Watching anime on youtube is worse than watching most dubs. Dubs can be fine, Death note has impressed me and Cowboy Bebop and Golden boy were great.
Youtube and other streaming sites should only be used if you can't download. Those tiny screens don't do most shows justice, anime or other wise, and full screen is even worse.
Of course in the end we all know a true fan is someone who wants to live in Japan and become the most loved and wealthy Mangaka ever.

-O.M.G. We have a test on the 50 states on Wednesday. And we have to keep taking it until we get a 100%. I only know where 21 states are. I used to know them all T^T.

How am I still alive? All that's left is to choke on my own saliva. Criminies!

I choked on a muffin once, imagine dying like that, that'd be incredibly embarrassing if nothing else. I hope the guys doing the autopsy report lie and say I died fighting ninjas.

On that note, why is this so amusing to me

Sadly, I fall into that category. My computer can't handle downloads, and even if it could, I don't wanna explain to my parents why there's anime about girls going nuts and killing people, etc on the computer.

Although, I've found Veoh to be of somewhat better quality than Youtube. Also, episodes aren't divided up into three parts. For awhile they had a "YOU MUST DOWNLOAD TO SEE THE ENTIRE EPISODE" thing going on, but now they suddenly stopped. Must have been losing traffic, I'd reckon.
Nekokitty
Unfortunely, so do I. D:
I only download the ones I reeeaaally liked such as Code Geass and the Kyo Kara Maoh! OVA.
And I don't watch it on Youtube anymore. Their quality really sucks and I just watch clips and amvs off there. >.>;
But once a series is liscensed here I stop watching it and just watch the rest of it on DVD.

Yeah...except for the slightly minor fact that she and her "fiancee" are both thirteen.

"Lol u aint tru fan if u wtch it in english, u have 2 watch on utube with subs lol"

Watching anime on youtube is worse than watching most dubs. Dubs can be fine, Death note has impressed me and Cowboy Bebop and Golden boy were great.

The Death Note dub I think was one of the best I've heard. And I actually prefer to watch the English dubs instead of subtitles because I find annoying to read the subtitles and try to pay attention to what is actually happening. And then once I hear the English dub I point out all the differences I hear. I just can't control it, it's an impulse I have.

And speaking of Death Note, I convinced my English teacher to let me use my novels for my Gothic literature project. I don't think that I've smiled that much in one school day. My friend screamed so loud when I told her. So now she shall dress up as Mello and I shall dress up as L (She said that I'm just like him. I don't understand her) and present our project in a couple of weeks. This is going to be an awesome project.

Thirteen? And here I thought getting engaged in your first year of college was bad.

God, the conversation we had was amusing.

"Promise not to get mad?"
"...What did you do? Make out with boyfriend? Broke up with him?"
"Neither. And he's technically not my boyfriend anymore..."
"What did you do?"
"...He proposed?"
"You do realize that A - teenage relationships don't last forever and B - we're not in the 1800's anymore?"

It then went on to how I basically worry about heartbreak [she cries at the drop of a hat]. "He bikes six miles to see me." THAT PROVES JACK, SWEETIE.

Geh, I was just in shock when she told me last night. I can't say I haven't seen it before, because a girl that used to come to this school [keyword - used] is/was married and has a kid. At sixteen.

But I don't think she's dated this kid for more than a month. And...GAH! It finally got to me this morning and now I'm...ergh. The nine letters that describe my mood the most right now are OMGWTFLOL.

Can 13 year olds even legally get engaged or do they need parental content or something?

LOL, we'll see what the legal system has to say about this!

If I had a 13 year old friend and she told me she just got engaged I would laugh at her. XD




WTF. I just started eating a egg salad sandwich and my stomach is cramping up like one wouldn't believe. This hurts damnit!

I know I can figure out the cause quickly, but I don't wanna believe it. DX I love my egg sandwich ;_;

She says they don't intend to get married until they're sixteen. And since there was a girl I knew legally married at sixteen, then it'll be legal. I've heard of fifteen-year-olds getting engaged as well.

But she says if that doesn't work, they'll wait another two years.

Oh, did I mention that neither of their parents know about this, and won't for another three years? [Well, I know her mother doesn't know. I dunno about his parents, but if they're any parents at all and knew about it, then they'd, like, inform her mother].

Although, I've found Veoh to be of somewhat better quality than Youtube. Also, episodes aren't divided up into three parts. For awhile they had a "YOU MUST DOWNLOAD TO SEE THE ENTIRE EPISODE" thing going on, but now they suddenly stopped. Must have been losing traffic, I'd reckon.

Veoh stopped being stupid ohmy.gif? Well, it makes no difference now, since I watch all of my anime on Stage6 after Veoh broke my poor anime heart.

My mom got surgery today, but she'll be fine. (I won't go into details, seeing as how I can't get the facts straight myself and seeing as how everyone expects us children to guess what's going on in this house until the last minute when everything is done and over with.) But she won't be able to work for a few months and things like that. ._.

My thoughts:
- Piano lesson today. I'll show my teacher my new anime sheet music.
- Aw poo, I have to type an essay. D:

Perhaps this is just so the boyfriend can convince the girl that it's okay to have sex now because they're engaged, or some such ridiculous nonsense.

From what I understand, the boy adheres to a "no sex before marriage" policy. Which, if he does indeed abide by that, I agree with that sentiment, but there is always the possibility of lying. [Her past boyfriends have been less than likeable or trustworthy].

I guess some places are too busy to bother with that. I kind of dislike that, too.

Current Thoughts:

- So full on Sour Cream & Cheddar chips. laugh.gif
- Did some more Christmas shopping. The expenses are racking up . . .
- Wow. I finished Tom Jones. If anyone's seen how thick that thing is, you'd be happy to get through it if you had to do it, too.

Lol @ 13 year olds getting engaged, but considering the guy's no-sex-before-marriage policy as well as the fact that they plan on marrying at age 16, I'm positive that said engagement has nothing to do with marriage and everything to do with sex.

Honestly, this is an extreme case of what happens when an upbringing puts shame young people for wishing to explore any sort of sexuality outside of marriage; they wind up marrying young and for the wrong reasons. Marriage should not be pushed because both parties are young and horny but feel guilty for doing it without a contract. It doesn't help that they're also told it's wrong to masturbate.

It kind of seems that way to me, too. Besides, how can you really know that someone is "the one" when you're so young? Heck, even took me a long time . . .

I learned in my Shakespeare class today that 'knitting' was a euphemism for 'masturbation' back then.

I said nothing icky.

@Tris: My best friend got engaged at 22 and it took him half a year to realize it was a dumb decision and that their relationship wouldn't work out. THIRTEEN? And their parents don't even KNOW? O_o Why would you WANT to get married at sixteen anyway? I mean, other than the whole free sex thing, but I mean, I can't imagine being married O_o

Ugh.

I have nothing written for my Nano. This is bad.

@Everyone - Yeah, I basically agree with what everyone's said on the matter. Though if I told her that...heads would roll. Definately.

I believe in abstaining from sex until marriage, but that doesn't mean I'll go out and get married next Tuesday just for a hawt night and not have regrets. Thinking he's "the one" is all well and good, but there's no way of knowing that when you're both thirteen and have been dating for less than a month.

So...I give it a week. Maybe a month. But that's stretching that, even. This isn't the first time she's made an idiotic decision, and it certainly isn't gonna be the last. I'll be there for her to toss a tissue to, but I won't be surprised. Nor can I say I'll be very sympathetic.

I've been feeling illness coming on for a couple days. :/ Stuffiness and such. (In addition to this... thing in my chest that wants to be a cough but refuses to go ahead and just do it already.)


I'm also about 80 bajillion words behind in NaNo already, and honestly, I miss having a busy schedule.

Many comments on young engagement, heck we could have started a debate topic...all we needed to do was find someone who believed 13 was a smart age to get engaged.

My friends are just coming out of the 'honeymoon' period of moving in with each other. Now they see each other all the time they've lost the spark of anticipation and it seems to be hitting them hard. I hope they get over it and learn that sex isn't everything in a relationship. Well more I hope a dwindling sex life IS the problem, and not part of a much wider issue.
