Manga and Mayhem

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 4:50 PM
No one wants to hear about my life right now, so really you don't need to read this, I'm just going to write it out because there's nothing else I can do.

There are things I want to say, things that shouldn't be said for fear of ruining something important to me. A day gone by without laughter is a day wasted... so I laugh... but not full force. So I talk in riddles and yet few can penetrate the text enough to see what lies between the lines. I am as lost as a puppy starving on the streets of NY City. I can't make it on my own and though people say they can help... say they want to help and offer all they have. I can't accept such charity. I don't know why, but all of a sudden I feel as though I can't open up to anyone. How truely sad is that? To know there are people who care enough about you to offer anything they can to help and yet you deny them because you can't come to say a single thing that bothers you. Maybe I'm just losing a piece of myself... what piece that is exactly, I'm not sure. All I know is this is now starting to affect my health metally and physically.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday after I was sent home by the school nurse on Monday for looking rather "lathargic". Even the doctor said I looked really run down and tired. I probably should have told him about the sleeping disorder I've seemed to develop over the past couple of months, but I just couldn't. Every night I wake up once or twice crying... whether it's because of a dream I shouldn't have dreamt, or a nightmare I'm trying to escape... or even just waking up without a dream at all. I don't understand how this can be happening to me right now or even why! These dreams I see feel so real and so right, even the nightmares makes sense to me and all I gather from it is a box of tissues.

Then the morning arrives and I can barely heave myself out of bed and I walk around the school like a zombie. There will be no end to this I fear until something happens. That something is confidential and under lock and key at the moment and the power to unlock it rests in the hands of a single person who, regrettably, has no idea they even possess such power.

Ugh and then there's just my homelife stuff that's going on. If the Bank can refinance the house for my family we can stay here AND (oh here's the kicker) my mom can pay me back the one-thousand dollars she owes me, I get to FINALLY take Driver's Ed classes, AND AND AND I get my very own car with a custom paint job. Oh, but get this... BECAUSE all this wonderful stuff is on the line, with my luck, the bank will decide to be bitchy and just screw us over and say "Nope, pay up or get out in 30 days." For real? Yeah. My luck is that bad.

And you know what? I feel kind of bad because I'm turning 16 next month and my mom is throwing me this huge ass party. Which is really sweet and nice and I should be happy because this is a good thing, right? Wrong. My mom started paying for this party a year ago, when my dad still had his job and he was paying child support regularly. A month later he lost his job and the child support stopped coming. My mom had saved up a ton of money for my party and pre-paid for just about everything with te knowledge that there would be no refunds. I feel bad because she's throwing this party for me and its SO expensive and I just keep wondering if we had waited a month longer than we did, would we have that little bit of extra money to keep us out of this financial hole? I don't know... but it really bothers me a lot.

Hm... what else should I add? Hm... how about some happy things so nobody thinks I constantly LOOK for things to mope around about lol:

Naruto Shippuuden Baby!! FINALLY aired in the dub version on cable last week. I can't stad subs because I always seem too focused on the words and then I miss what's going on with the animation... so even though dub voices and acting is usually pretty bad, I still watch it, and I'm excited because it's on tonight at 8:30 on Disney XD (which USED to be toon disney or, I think they were also Jetix for awhile) (I know, it's shameful to see precious anime on Disney... that's a real disgrace to everything anime represents)

InuYasha: The Final Act!!! W00t!! I can't wait for the day when it finally comes out in dub format, but for now I'm watching it with subs and I'm sooo loving it. It's so close to the manga, so I'm thrilled.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood!!! lovelovelove!! Amazing amazing, my buddy Lisa got me hooked on FMA and I decided to watch this "brotherhood" thing she was going on about. Low and behold it's almost identical to the manga. So much better than the original FMA anime.

Tramps Like Us... ahhh, my newest manga addiction. So adorable I love it so much... but it's definitely a girl's manga.

Oh an then something happened today that ade me really really happy. Unfortunately (though I wish it would) this doesn't happen everyday (even though it probably could, which frustrates me further) but anyway. I was so happy that after I collected my homework from the office, I came back up the staircase clicking my heels together ad jumping up and down and dancing... and then I dropped my homework and it scattered all over the stairwell and I had to go collect it -_-' lol XD

And my apptitude for artistry has returned. Which is a good thing, so I might be posting some more things on DA. YaY! lol.

For now, I think that's it. I really hope you didn't force yourselves to read this whole thing because most of it is really depressing and boring. If you DID I'm in utter awe and amazement and your thoughts/opinions are welcome (since I obviously have no sense of direction in my life). anyway, thanks for rooting for me people. I'll be in touch.

freakity freak freaker! i forgot to tell u that there were 4 episode's that already came out on itunes like 2 weeks befor school started of naruto shippuden i seriously meant to leave u a message on youtube GOSH DARN IT *smacks head* I even thought about it in the shower one day O.o strange how i remember that but OH WELL (so i can remember remembering things but not remember to actually do that task? does that make sense?) wells anyway they should be on youtube now if u havnt seen them soooooo...yeah...sorry about that m(_ _)m
:iconkougahugger:
Oh, I've known about that for awhile now, but it's pointless if you don't have an ipod. And actually there are a couple episodes up on youtube, but they are REALLY difficult to find in dub. So I think I'll just watch on TV now that it finally aired.

I would have told you... in fact, I was going to tell you when you stopped me in the hall the other day, but we don't talk too much anymore and you don't get on DA that often, so I never got the chance to tell you... plus I wasn't sure if you were still into that or not :shrug: sorry. I would have told you about it if I had known. It just started last week and dignaruto .com has a lot of the dub episodes on it before Disney XD releases them on Tv. So far cable is only up to episode 5, and all you've missed out on is gaara and Deidara having one of those pointlessly never-ending battles and Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi going through some nostalgia.

TAKE IT BACK. :|
:iconkougahugger:
But it's true. The original anime was fine up until I read the manga and discovered how different they actually were. The new anime actually follows the storyline originally set by Arakawa whereas the first anime was something entirely different (Envy as Ed's older brother left behind by Daddy Von simply because he wanted to have a brand new famiy with Trisha?? First off, WAY OOC for Von. Second, WAY Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu on the creators parts, and three, WAY too OOC for Envy) (and don't even get me started on that Wrath-kid who ruined the entire plotline because he shows up WAY too much for never EVER existing in the manga... :p)

I mean, it's just my own opinion, and of course you are entitled to yours :) I just happen to think that the anime became tarnished after a while and just started creating its own story that didn't sync up or make any sense whatsoever... and then they KILLED ED!!! SIIIINNNNNN!!!!! lol XD jk (I'm not even a huge Ed fan LOL XD)

but feel free to disagree, I'd be interested in hearing the other side of the discussion.

I'm pretty sure the anime was never supposed to be 100% to the manga, but regardless, LOVE. <3 Fifty something episodes is a lot for me- not to mention I freaking love Ed. I completely don't remember the whole brother thing with Envy- what? When did that ever happen? As for the whole Hohenhiem thing, I could see it, but it was more of a twisting of the character, not a complete corruption.
Hey, I liked Wrath. That kid was all kinds of crazy. 8D

I don't feel Brotherhood because that's just it: it's too brothery. Al, buddy, love ya, but you're taking up too much screen time. You're a sidekick. That is how you should stay, dang it!
I really loved how the original anime's ending was awesome and bittersweet and that it was made it kickin'.
(But don't even get me started on the movie. The whole ship tease was like giving it to you then shooting you in the face. Jessie and I agree on this much.)

Original = Rawkinnn.
Peace out. :D
:iconkougahugger:
lol, okay have it your way. ;P

Well the Envy-brother bit was in... I believe it was the last episode where Ed dies because Envy kills him and Wrath dies because he's sucked into the gate... at least that's when we get to see his "real" (as the so-called anime has led viewers to believe) face. There was also a bit of backstory to it that was revealed in some other episodes.
