  • I'm dreaming for your world~

    Mmm so first week of work over @_@...

    I haven't written about it since now since after i get home every night from work, I play lego rock raiders  and surfing the net. sorry if i've been MIA, but seems like everyone is anyhoo, because of vacations and summer school...

    So anyhoo, to detail more clearly, I applied to work as the "computer help desk technician". I work for a wedding wholesale company, who sell wedding dresses, prom dresses, etc, to bridal shops (the dresses are so pretty! lol, for even me to say that). It's actually a nice-sized company, but as you can see, most of the employees are sales reps/management, customer services, alterations, etc. It runs kinda like how The Office runs, lol, but bigger, of course. But i obviously am part of the computer team, which consisted of one person, who is now my manager (or whatever. I'm his assistant, better said.)

    Anyhoo, it seems like i have 2 main to-do jobs, so far, aside from assisting from random computer stuff around the company:

    1) the "point-of-sales" retailer program
    My main job is to work on this new custom program that they're going to release to their customers (bridal store retailers) for free, which was built to help stores keep track of all their records and make calculations, etc. At the moment my manager is spending most of his time debugging the program, and I'm testing it out/play around with it and get REALLY familiar with it, so i can tell him what needs to be fixed. Also, I'll be the one answering the calls of all the retailers who have questions about the program. So, in the meanwhile, I'm rewriting the manual so that it looks nice :P

    2) the free websites
    Also, the company offers free websites to more loyal customers so i get to deal with those. This is the REALLY easy part of my job, since the website structures have already been built, and i'm just filling in templates...pretty easy. The hard part, i guess, is that this offer has already been released to their customers, so they're the ones calling in at the moment when they have questions, so i have to stutter my way into explaining how they fill in the information and stuff or whatever.

    but so ya, that's generally it. probably TL;DR, but whatever. I feel a lot more productive during my week (earning money, w00t!) but definitely does eat up my time. Ah well. mebe when i'm settled in, i can spend more time on cosplay...

    oh, and the ppl there are quite nice and casual. There's a lotta chinese ppl (particularily canton pride seems to be going around) and so i can small talk with people. One lady offered me a cat (orange tabby), which i was like DO WANT but my mom was like NO. D: i bet it looked something like this

    kyuuuuute.

    but now we might get a bunny, which is not as cool, but hey, a pet's a pet, rite? :P my mom will only allow a caged animal (no free roamers), and no rats, so bunny or guinea pig is the only options, i feel...and she thinks bunnies are cute, so that's the biggest possibility.

    (something like this. i think she thinks lop-eared with spots on their nose are no good)

    anyhoo, aside from MJ dying this week, the only really interesting stuff i've been up to is playing lego rock raiders (it used to keep freezing, so for the week after schlitterbahn, i spent a lot of time on that game >>; but now i have to limit myself. it's so much fun tho! making little lego people drill and build a base and complete missions :D) and  i've recently have been trying to learn more about k-pop girl groups...mostly SNSD, since i watched their Genie MV. I've also occasionally glanced at anti-SNSD stuff, and was just learning some background history, but really, mostly had to spend most of my time trying to figure out who is who -_-
    but seriously, like most of them look like generic asian girls, so it's really hard to pick them out...and not like their fashion stands out! gah, wearing uniforms and changing your hair makes it REALLY hard to notice individuals. and i swear, like there's 2 sets of triplets >.< it's not like anime, where they keep their hair the same! gah. But i think i finally figured out. But even now...still...tough :T but i like Gee and Genie, probably better than tell me and so hot (those were never like super favorites of mine)

    I also just looked up some WG stuff, too, but then i saw some phtooshoot pictures, or something...like, when i saw the SNSD before-after pictures, i was like wow, they had to go thru a lot and some aren't even that amazingly pretty (kinda plain, i think), but then i look at WG, and...they're not that pretty, are they? mebe like Sun Ye, I like her looks, and she looks natural too. But i saw some picture of some BBQ Chicken photoshoot they did, and Yubin, who was REALLY COOL as rapper, looked so...childish. like what was with her hairstyle (bangs in a tiny ponytail pointing back), i do that when i'm at HOME and no one's looking at me D: and so hee looks really young too. It's probably her eyebrows and small eyes and face...

     Mebe that's why i like 2ne1, since they're not like pretty (actually, dara's REALLY pretty) but like they're all unique and not like really running on their looks, like SNSD are like.

    PHEW really long post guys, sorry D: i have been neglecting xanga...

  • SCHLITTERBAAAAHHHNNNN

    WHOOOO WORLD'S BEST WATER PARK!

    (supposedly. voted world's best. but the poll might not include the crazy vietnamese water parks that luke went to...but that's aside the point)

    So, as a general summary for all you lame-os who missed out, it was really AWESOME and FUN and GAAAHHH GREAT~~ The water was really refreshing, and the day was like perfect...not too sunny, occasional clouds with lotsa shade in the schlitterbahn area. It wasn't that crowded, but still lines existed...i think if we went on a weekend, wait time coulda been from like 40 minutes to like 2 hours...but instead, it was more like 15 min to 45 min. Not too bad! it was really fun hanging with my group (my group was all chilling and really fun just to explore around schlitterbahn, plus we all kinda helped each other out with food and remembering to reapply sunscreen...multiple times)
    i would be seriously psyched to go again, like this year :D I finally learned how to ride some rides and not to be so scared, and now that i'm old enough to remember ride names, i know what to hit up~

    I will detail the ride names in this entry, just so I can remember for future reference, but I'll try and do a play-by-play of what we did, and how fun it was :)

    So we got up really early and drove there around 8 in the morning...caravaning like 4 cars, Phil's, Rachelle's, David's, and Justin's...we got like prime parking spots outside of Schlitterbahn West (the main gate) so we didn't all buy lockers and could easily visit the cars whenever we wanted.

    The 3 groups we split into:
    My group: Me, Luke, Melanie, Melinda, and Justin
    Rachelle's group: Rachelle, Joyce, Cindy, Phil,  and another of Joyce's cousins that i didn't get the name of
    Rosanna's group: Rosanna (another joyce relative) and her friends
    we had exactly 15 people, and it was super awesome to get in for only $35...for like 10 hrs of fun?!

    We all grabbed a tram ride to Blastenhoff and raced for the lines that we knew were going to be the longest...up blastenhoff tower. We rode Wolf Pack, the group raft-tube ride, and justin really rocked the boat :OO kinda scary. I'm a scaredy cat, so we'll see that throughout this entry >>; afterwards, we (melanie, melinda, luke and me) went to the wave pool (called The Torrent) around the tower around for like 8 times, justin ended up joining us instead of trying out Master Blaster. The torrent is always a big favorite of mine, no wait, and for some reason, it's really fun to keep going around and around, especially after we started really trying to get in front of the flood gates, then getting to the edge of the curve to get the highest waves, and at the end, there's 'turbulence' where the waves start clashing, and it gets pretty fun there.

    We left for the tram around 11:30, but instead of going back to West, we went into Surfenburg to kinda see what that was about. We rode the Dragon's Revenge and Family Blaster, which are like calmed down versions of the Blastenhoff's Master Blaster and Wolf Pack, I feel. We passed some of the line waiting time (Dragon's revenge was surprising a long wait) by playing the animal kingdom/super hero style game. It was silly how the guys were like, my cheeks hurt from smiling, since it was so weird to be playing it, i guess for them...but that's actually always a good thing to pass the time with. Dragon's Revenge had the up and downs of master blaster, but not as steep...and the family blaster line was really short, but so was the ride :P it was good at the beginning, but then it ended, and like whuut? already? lol kinda thing. We skipped out on the other stuff (like the surfing one, and the wave krystal river) since we wanted to try other stuff.

    We ate outside of our cars in a old, useless parking spot (fried rice, granola bars, and chips and salsa) at 1:00...we aren't as hardcore as the extreme team (rachelle's group) since they didn't eat until like hours later @_@ mebe at like 4, we met them and ate some of their food. We had such a good spot i think justin overheard someone talking on the other side of the fence of how good our real estate was, heh heh

    In Schlitterbahn West, we were all over the place, since i didn't really remember the rides at all @_@ but we still had fun. I guess our group objective is to stand in the least amount of lines as possible, lol. We first went on the Double Loop, a body slide that was actually kinda fast and pretty swishy :) then we grabbed some tubes and rode Whitewater tube chute...that one was pretty fun, probably the 2nd best tube chute, not too long, and didn't end up with much traffic (traffic, is, in a lot of tube chutes, slow moving water and people get stuck from not being able to ride the flow, or getting trapped behind a lot of people). Whitewater probably is characterized by a lot of drops in a row...but pretty short. We hopped onto Cliffhanger, which was fun at first, but we chose the wrong path and instead of finishing the Cliffhanger by some really fast drops, we took the Tunnel Tube Chute, which was really slow and not exciting at all (gettin thru it was like...an hour, omg) and we landed in a river all the way on the other side of the park -_- LAME. I think becase we didn't take the other route, we missed out on some rides like Der Bahn. We all agreed it was lame and later warned the extreme group not to take it at all means (lol, later they told us the lifeguard didn't let them exit the way they wanted to, so :<)

    So we had to hoof alllll the way back to the front gate, but there we found Bahnzai Pipeline, where it's an individual covered tube slide... i really liked it cuz it was very smooth and fast and swishy...the kinda speed that I like :) ---I'm definitely not a fan of the up and down, and drops that like master blaster is famous for, and the Downhill Racer, which we rode next and I was terrified of. Downhill racer is essentially a 4 story downhill slide (like, with some level parts to slow you down some bits, but then drop you again), head first with a mat under you, and VERY scary...for me. Melanie and Melinda really liked it a lot, tho, so :T

    After that, we saw the extreme team and ate some of their food, rosanna's group left (us old ppl's energy surpassed the highschoolers! like, freshmen highschoolers! so weird) BTW, those spray sunscreen are terrible to use when you need like full body spray, reapply like every 2 hrs...cuz we counted 6 uses out of a new bottle, and it was OUT. Bah! only good for mebe like a sports lesson or something.

    We then went to apparent Das Lagune area, and rode the Soda Straw...a slide similar to the Bahnzai Pipeline, fully covered slide and smooth, but a body slide. I liked that slide a lot :) I think the Bahnzai and the Soda Straw are my favorite rides. PLUS the wait time was like, 5-10 minutes only :3 our group split due to the remaining tube chute lines looked really long (it was already 5 PM, and justin, melanie, and melinda would rather not waste time to float in the river, since it was nearing optimal line time, 7 pm) so luke and me went on Hillside tube chute...i LOVE THIS CHUTE!!
    Yes, it had the longest time wait (20 min) but really was worth it. Longer than whitewater but still had a lot of slides and bumps~ the end was great~ and it's always the tube chute i remember when I was young, where they pass thru the locker room and end up in the giant pool at the end.
    We then tried for the Raging River...the line was non-existant, only the ppl walking in front of us were in front of us for the line, but it's a long tube chute, had some small slides, but really not that thrilling. Better than the tunnel chute...mebe comparable to the Cliffhanger. It took us nearly into the Tunnel Tube Chute, in which we promptly stood up at the closest exit and left. We went on the Bahnzai again for good measure~ :) before we took the tram back to Blastenhoff/Schlitterbahn East.

    We rode the wave pool for a bit before we saw our old half of the group...they rode the mat slide like 2-3 times, lol, while we were separated. We went on the tower and tried out the Black Knight, which i feel is like the faster, longer version of Bahnzai...plus, the line was only like 15 min, whereas the other lines (Master blaster and Wolf Pack) were like an hour wait @_@ we again got separated from the group, since they first wanted to see the line for master blaster since we forgot to haul up the tubes for black knight, and got in our line later. Luke and I said we would ride twice, but after we saw them go down the black knight their first time, we didn't see them...apparently they were able to get into the master blaster ride twice in the last hour, which is pretty good! luke and I just had our own fun in the wave pool afterwards :) and I was getting tired and decided I wasn't going to drive to houston that same night.

    me and luke headed back to the cars w/o melanie, melinda, and justin, and waited around/rinsed off/etc for everyone to gather by the lockers. The rest of the night was actually not very fun, since I had to drive back to austin (still an hour drive, so a bit tiring)...and then we blindly searched for the 'hyatt at the arboretum'...first, we couldn't quite find the arboretum...went down braker, so that was wrong...and then got to great hills arboretum, thanks to calling melissa...but unfortunately, we drove rachelle to the Renaisaance hotel -_- oops...and so apparently, the renaissance gave us a map to get to the hyatt....which was near this *surprise* arboretum...that wasn't near the usual arboretum...about 10 min down the road, closer to loop 360...a couple of u-turns had to be made...especially when after we left rachelle at the hyatt, and *surprise* that wasn't the right hyatt.
    omg.
    So we went back and got her, and they gave her proper directions to the right hyatt, which was no where near the original arboretum, somewhere along the intersection of loop 1 and loop 360, and finally dropped her off.
    I wasn't very happy, especially since after all that confusion, it was already a 2 hr drive, and the drive back to houston woulda taken 3 hrs only. gah.
    So i get back to luke's, and there was a r*ach in the kitchen...and that was trauma, if you know how i handle those things...but then luke took good care of me, despite me being all tired and exhausted and kinda snippy with everyone. was a really nice thing he did for me, and I really, really enjoyed my vacation with him.

    mmk! So that's all there was to a crazy monday of schlitterbahn :P if you bothered reading this all, props. it'll be a good guide for schlitterbahn, at least.

  • pre-schlitterbahn!! more to come

    I had a really long, nice weekend + some days in Austin...it was a lotta fun and I spent a lot of time with Luke, which makes me happy

    On Thursday, I took the greyhound bus really early in the morning...I thought it would be complicated, looking at their website and their rules, but actually it was quite a nice ride, very quiet and smooth, and I rested quite well. I don't really think anyone there is shady and it's really not too bad, except mebe the price and the time it takes (going there, waiting, and the drive time and getting picked up is like 4.5 hrs, and you have to plan ahead to catch it at the right time, instead of leaving whenever you're ready)

     I had plans to work on my resume and some job search stuff while in Austin, but *surprise!* right when I got there, I got a call from the place i interviewed at on Tuesday and they offered me a job! It was surprising, mostly cuz i thought they wouldn't tell me until a week later, which the guy said. I said I would have to think on it...which, later, yes, i needed that option: i got an email later taht day with a job opportunity-- a personal one, so they were interested in an interview...so I was like uh-oh, what to do. I did like the sounds of the 2nd job (more qualified/towards the future i want, plus better pay) but since it wouldn't be until a coupla weeks before the position would open and get more information, PLUS i might not be the only candidate, just so much what-if situations that I took the sure thing (the first job: at a wedding gown wholesale as their computer help desk), especially in these economic hard times. This finally was finalized by Friday, so I'll get back to what i did on Thursday...

    So Luke and I ate at Seadragon (a chinese vietnamese restaurant near 183, we both like it) and then walked around in Big Lots and Target for some small shopping things. We ended up going to the Highland Mall, which was creepily empty...even tho i didn't expect many ppl cuz it was a weekday, but accounting for summer...i woulda expected more people, ya know? Talking to some sales ppl, it seemed that the mall had gotten slow, and that some places were even closing down :\ (i got a whole hair straighening tutorial out of it, tho, as well...it was nice to see how to use a straightener well! lol) it was just weird to be like two of 5 people in popular stores, like Express or aeropostal, or like the only ppl in some stores at all. Also looking out from inside a store to outside, it was VERY empty >>;; many times, i couldn't see anyone walking around. I dunno if it's from economy or that too many kids play computer games all the time now instead.

    On Friday, we went to see UP at the alamo drafthouse...I really like watching movies there since their food selection is quite good, and not that expensive. UP was really cute too :) the characters were very likable and the movie was imaginative. Hm, thinking about it, for some reason, I expected a bit more of a message, kinda like ratatoullie or kungfu panda (haha, for some reason, i do really like that movie :D), but not like a subtle force message like Wall-e. Anyhoo, it was still good and cute. I also tried working out with Luke, which got my abs a bit sore for a day or two >.<

    Saturday, we ventured out to eat at Kyoto's, and the pieces were bigger than usual...it wasn't so busy, and even tho we were like 3rd in line. The service was still slow, tho, and for some reason the longhorn and unagi were spicier than usual D: we had a contest where for the last 6 pieces each of longhorn, if we could eat it all without drinking water...i was suffering the most x_x

    Sunday, I went to his church in austin, and afterwards we ate at coco's for the soup :9 we got ready for the schlitterbahn people to come, and cleaned up a bit and stuff... we ate at Rudy's with everyone when they got here to plan for stuff.

    So, for the lead up to Schlitterbahn (which I'll have to write about in another entry) it was really relaxing, especially after landing a job and not having to worry about playing too much and not job searching. Not that I write alot about me and luke's escapades--I'm a bit more undetailed my relationships here-- but I really enjoy the time with him and I was really happy this entire week(end). Plus I got to watch a lot of the office (which is really funny, and one of my favorite shows of all time)

    :)

    PS: i will write about schlitterbahn next, but just to start you off:
    YOU MISSED OUT!!
    if you didn't go, of course.

  • michael scott is a douche

    I've started watching The Office (USA version)
    my first memorable moment of seeing it was when there was that time Dwight was safety manager and made a fire...that opening scene was hilarious XD so much laughing
    so I decided to check it out and add it to the series of random shows that i've thought i should check out

    anyhoo, it IS still funny (into like season 1, ep 5) but the problem is that the boss, aka MICHAEL SCOTT, is a HUGE douchebag. the comments that he makes is just so...ARGH-ignorant-jerk-idiot-ARGH
    I mean, the awkwardness of the entire situation is funny, since all this employees are onto the idea of how such a douche he is, but i would have no idea how i would be able to stand this guy who is just so...incompetent. and rude. and egotistical. and just like...WTF.
    Nearly same goes for Dwight. but at least he doesn't HAVE power, like real power, so fortunately, he doesn't actually really get away for dragging people through a lot of crap.

    i hope i never meet anyone like that in my life. but for some reason, i feel that there ARE ppl out there like that. gawd. i would totally quit or SOMETHING. would not be able to stand for that kinda crap.

    *phew*

    that character is soooo rageworthy. I give props to Steve Carrell.

    PS: Ghettocon went alright, learned some new stuff that should be changes for next time, like not during a hot summer, and mebe actually at someone's house (so cars can drive by and see), and mostly to advertise it as a toy garage sale/fair.
    i did sell stuff for a lotta cheap, and a lotta stuff for free, but i got rid of a lot of stuff, AND now i'm up nearly $100 :) which is nice. it'll go away fast, so i'm mostly happy that i got rid of stuff.

    best part was when luke showed up :) i was very, very happy~
    and so we hung out w/ joy and natalie afterwards, cuz they waited around for me to pack up, but it was nice, got to chill around nat's house and just hang out (i didn't do that much at ghettocon since i was selling and such. worrying about ppl coming, etc.)

    good times guys! but i'm not sure if i'll have much to sell if we hold it again, a lot of the stuff is going to salvation army or recycle or half-price books, so we'll see how much of my collection would be left...

  • year 2030

    ah HA!
    I KNEW that the older 'ted' of how i met your mother was Bob Saget. very nice.

    So,
    just started watching How I met your mother since rachelle's always raving about it. not bad, good enough sitcom to enjoy.

    ghettocon's coming soon and i hope things go well :T

    PS: I watched this TV special earth 2100 done by ABC and 1) year 2030 looks bleak and 2) it actually might be cool to be an environmentalist engineer. try and make cool yet efficient stuff, like cars or energy...
    I guess that would be my number #2 job, if i thought about it 4 years ago. #1 might be a dentist...lol
    i dunno, for some reason it seems fun to poke at ppls teeth
    I keep seeing ads on the TV for 'this school' and 'that school' and kinda makes me want to get certified to become a dental assistant. Seems like fun. :D;;

  • summer updates

    uh, sorry i haven't been on xanga recently...

    but nothing much happening with me. Juggling to apply to UH/register for HCC/trying to figure out what kinda classes/degree I should even be thinking of/*deep breath*...

    and cleaning/rearranging my room. I personally think it's pretty cool right now.

    and now onto the job search, in hopes that I find a job before school and become a bit more knowledgeable about the future/what I'm good at doing. I dunno, school has it's expectancies that I'm not looking forward to.

    guess same could be said about a long-distance relationship as well..

    so that's up with me, what's up with you?

    PS: what's with this stupid 'Read more' cut tag? Trying to be like livejournal, eh?

  • *sigh* kinda racefail...

    holy crap...

    so i just looked up some random stuff about the new avatar movie (thread popped up on 4chan) and it led me to some lj communities and a youtube video...

    it's like JEEZ GUYS has America STILL not learned enough about race in the media?! for goodness sake. It was really sad to click on some links in the youtube video of how like Caucasian people are CONVINCED that anime people "look Caucasian" and that Japanese people think Caucasian are superior and the epitome of beauty...
    DUH
    OF COURSE THEY DON'T.


    ...people need to study the history of other cultures before they make such stupid claims.

     They are seriously just letting the american media/art, which still stems all the stereotypes from decades ago, influence them. Drawn asian characters in america are ALWAYS drawn with smaller eyes, like in simpsons, political cartoons, etc...so caucasians here think that anime must look white, since everyone has big, normal eyes...
    ...even tho asians can have same sized eyes are a lotta other races...
    people just letting images like this affect them...

    and this underhanded sterotyping sucks for ALL races...black, hispanic, asian, middle eastern...there are still so little black characters who are not drawn w/o bigger lips and stuff. like for goodness sakes! do you NOT know how offensive that is?? same with the miley cyrus photo of all the slanty eye thing..."oh, slanty eyes are just a GOOFY FACE, i didn't mean anything about it *innocent*"
    ...not cool, girl, not cool.
    although people might not be so offended by it now, but she is just making the sterotype CONTINUE and showing a buncha little girls that it's 'okay' since, oh, haha, it was just a goofy face. uh huh.

    i understand that stereotypes always will prevail, but like WHEN at least, is the stupid media not going to demand that obviously asian characters need to be casted as caucasian since 1) people won't watch an asian person as a hero and 2) it's based on a cartoon, so it's *flexible*

    I let it slide at the AM panel, cuz..honestly, it wasn't the topic of the panel and i didn't want to deviate into like some crazy argument. But seriously, THIS topic would be so much better. Watching a bunch of congoers (predominately white, as our panel seemed like) finally LEARN a BIT about race in american media, how to look PAST it, and not say stupid stuff like "But Goku IS white"
    A lot of those type of people are so confused...and it seriously makes them look like racist ignorants. and they only way to make them seem unignorant is to let us rip them a new hole. Ya, kinda sucks that it's like 'everything you do is wrong' but at LEAST properly have a debate. you know, with ASIAN people involved. And not a asian person who only hangs out with white people, sort of asian (ie, white-washed), but like, mebe an asian-american who still has connections with their culture?
    i just clicked on some Fox news video talking about the cyrus lawsuit, and it was a buncha white people talking about how 'this lawsuit is SO STUPID, the lawyer's an idiot, she was just making a face, black people say racial slurs to each other all the time, all the kids do it, what's wrong?? hahaha so lame' and i'm like "YOU'RE WRONG. YOU'RE WRONG, and I HATE YOU. lol."

  • omfg such fail...

    ugh...

    if i'm super talented at a sense of direction, i'm super fail at keeping things -_-
    i lost my phone yesterday, and still it is not found...argh!!

    Ken's bday was yesterday, so after I did some moving stuff, luke and i went to Austin's park and pizza to meet up with the party. Before we got there, that's when i called Katie for directions...
    it was really fun there, tho, free games! like soul caliber II, marvel vs capcom II, inital D, shooting games...i really liked the place :) no go-carting or mini golf, tho, but i was fine with that.
    Then we went to cheddars to eat, which was nice, and ppl left and came back with cake~ so that was good :) lol, when ken saw the cake, he was like 'oh no' and takes off his glasses...and like right after the song, he gets caked (more like cool whipped) he so saw that coming, lol
    Joy and I had another word search race, and we both finished at the same time, heh heh. She's my word search buddy :)
    Afterwards, we went back to the epic house and majority of ppl went to 6th, but i stayed w/ the underaged and played truth-or-dare jenga (not that fun, the truths/dares are not as exciting) and imaginiff. It got more rowdy when everyone came back, but essentially it composed of all the guys playing halo, and the non-halo ppl played this word dice game, kinda like scattergories.
    anyhoo, it was really, really late -_- and then when i was going home, i realized i was missing my phone...
    *gah*

    man, i have lost my phone wayyy too many times ;_;

    *EDIT* found it later in tai's car :) all worked out!

  • currently watching: teen titans

    I was stuck on what to watch next (anything to keep procrastinating on my project...AHHH D: this is terrible~ and i have a deadline now!-- before i move) so eventually i chose Teen Titans.

    After watching a bit, i realized that i've only seen like, ONE season. wow. i think the whole, 'anime expressions' (but w/o the anime humor/art, is TOTALLY lame and out of place -_-;;) really put me off. but the stores are pretty good, tho.

    **spoilers for season 2 ahead**
    My recent rant is how STUPID terra is. like fo'serious, why would anyone like her? she actually didn't do anything really that redeeming for her to become 'a true friend' after she was controlled by slade. First of all, she went and backstabbed the Titans BEFORE she was all body-controlled by slade. it wasn't like robin, who started working for slade AFTER his friends were all probed. she made a clear choice, for whatever reason (cuz he helped her learn how to control her powers) that she would go thru w/ letting them get invaded the first time (in the T tower).
    She's such a whiner! All her reasons to try and kill them/go against them were so lame. 1st time: ahh i'm so embarrassed that you know that i can't control my powers waaahhh run away --- 2nd time: um, well this guy here that was supposedly the bad guy supposedly 'understands me' and taught me how to control my powers, therefore i should listen to what he says and help him spy on them and trap them --- 3rd time: you said i had no friends, so you hurt my feelings (despite me, ya know, destroying your home) so i'm going to kill you, blahblahblahblah whinewhinewhine.
    all of this is when she's not being totally/mostly controlled by slade. these are all her own decisions, which are LAME and not worth being superhero-y >:T
    anyhow, in the end she apparently 'redeems' herself is not by 'oh, we're doing wrong things, i should stop you' nor 'oh, i'm going to fight for my friends' but MORE because 'i wanna control myself! i'm scared of the Teen titans but you're forcing me to fight, and you can't tell me what to do'
    HOW NONE HEROISM IS THAT. D:< *Rage* it's just more whiny-ness!!!
    Of course, by her ot killing beast boy, fighting slade, etc etc. she apparently has made some life altering change. PLUS, the real like omfg!facepalm for me is that she sacrifices herself to stop a volcano that she MADE, like, i dunno. -_-  not really worth a memorial plaque, imho. town taken over by robots and starts a volcano...i mean, she did get it fixed in the end, but like that's like, not a cool hero at all.it was all kinda so terra-ego-centric that it pissed me off when i was reading comments on how sad it was that she died.

    lol
    i only feel like rageing cuz after seeing fandom!secrets and ragethreads, i felt left out cuz i have nothing to rage at :(

  • last epic small group ;_;

    mm, i got annoyed enough at how slow the anime Reborn was going, so i switched over to the manga...

    ...so now i'm up to speed! i thought i was so far behind that i would finish at least one arc, but nooooo not really. :T sucks! now i have to wait.
    but now i know everything....wheeee
    it's still really hard to see some of the action manga scenes, so i might go back and watch...cuz now i don't have much left to watch/be interested in...since i finished scrubs and although i'm not done with pokemon, there's really no motivation to watch more...>>;

    yesterday was fun! I had small group girls come over and me and angel had surprises for them and they had surprises for us! I was like woaaahh never woulda thought! lol. but it was fun and now i get to upload pictures into FB :D we did note signing and food eating and box painting and apparently chocolate trading @_@ and yogurt spot. twas nice. I'm sad it took me so long to finish my box D:< but i like the outcome! i repainted it like at least 3 times >.< so i couldn't finish when everyone else did, but ah well.
