Okay, before I begin (so people won’t start spamming me with comments saying “Well I know of the anime ____ that doesn’t have that cliché!”), not all animes have clichés, that’s why they’re clichés *gasp*. Rather, these are things I’ve found that most of the animes I’ve watched contain. Some also apply to various video games, but not all. I hope you enjoy.
1. Unless drawn in a shojo style (and sometimes then you’re not even safe), the woman’s boobs are twice the size of her head, no I lied; three times the size.
2. The less clothes a character wears, the stronger they are.
3. Heroes and heroines suddenly gain the ability to wield weapons two times their own body weight (and still keep a scrawny physique)!
4. If there’s a love triangle, the girl will never end up with the guy she initially likes.
5. If you have a long lost brother or father, chances are they’re the bad guy.
6. Death is of no consequence, they’ll be back in twenty episodes.
7. Band aids fix everything. Period.
8. There’s always someone stronger.
9. Angst characters always get fangirls, no matter how annoying they may be.
10. If the character is from a rich family, the character’s parents are immediately assholes.
11. Just when the time is right, the love interest will get amnesia (through an unforeseen accident) and forget about you. Tough luck.
12. The heroine always goes for the most popular guy in school, and gets him.
13. Just by cutting your hair, you girls too can look just like a boy and no one will ever know!
14. In a fantasy environment, the main character will more than likely have no parents.
15. PSSH, who cares if you’re as old as my daughter? I trust you to save the world!
16. Glasses=incredibly smart.
17. I’ve only met you once, hell, I don’t even know you’re name, but I think you look like a nice guy to date!
18. Stalking is always acceptable in the name of love.
19. And now for a limited time, you can buy your very bottle of aqua blue hair dye! Just 19.99 plus shipping and handling!
20. A character can have a giant hole in their stomach and still move around like he just got scratched.
21. Cream+Maid outfits=Maids serving cake, what were you thinking?
22. The shorter a character is, the more they feel the need to compensate with a loud voice.
23. The older sibling will almost always over shadow the younger, thus putting the younger sibling in an emo like state of being.
24. Men are and will always be perverts. ‘Nuff said.
25. Women will never get pregnant, no matter how many times they’ve done it.
26. Manwhores=A-Okay! Sluts=Eww….
27. …?! Is now a form of dialogue!
28. Everyone and their mother have a sixth sense.
29. The hero will always choose to save one person rather than save the whole world, which in the end could possibly kill them both anyways.
30. If the ending sucks, no problem! We’ll just make a movie that makes you even more confused!
I’m sure there’s more but I can’t think of any right now. Feel free to add to the list, I’m sure I’ll get a kick out of it!

OMG THIS IS STUCK IN MY HEAD!!!
"dance to the beat, wave your arms together, come feel the heat, forever and forever..."
It's called Caramelldansen. Originally it's a Swedish song, but it was adapted to a Japanese game. The song has been sung (by the same person) in Swedish, English, and Japanese. It's a really awesome song. Most people know the dance that goes with it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_DV9b0x7v4
That's the original Swedish version with the original game characters...but for you Naruto fans...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jsIYm4_IsU
And for you Devil May cry fans (I'm looking at you two, Andrea, Nicole! lol)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNxTIiy4Oy8&feature=PlayList&p=DD91059A93F6980E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=31
No joke, they have everything. Yu Yu Hakusho, Ouran, everything. It's so funny.
Yah, hopefully now you have that stuck in your head with me...HEHEHEHE
If you know Reborn, go see that one, that one is SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!
That's right! South Park is apparently not only in English, but in Japanese and Chinese too! *gasp*
http://www.playlist.com/user/43810568/dashboard]
Scroll down until you read "What would Brian bontonio do?" And then click on it for it to play. It's so funny. I mean, I went looking for the song on project playlist thinking that it would be in English, I mean, most of the time they put a tab if it's in Japanese. But, it's not! It's so funny, really.
Now, I have to say, I'm a huge South Park fan, it's on of the few non-anime cartoons that I like (Boondocks, Megas XLR, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Invader Zim, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, so on and so forth...)even though some people find it...offensive? lol (I guess that's an understatement...) South Park makes me laugh when I get home at school. It certainly relieves stress. The movie is absolutely hilarious. It's a musical! A musical! It's so funny, if you want to listen to more of the songs, they are others in the playlist. Now, I'm not going to lie, there is alot of cussing...ALOT. It's not edited. So, if anyone going to be offended...yah. Don't listen to it....yah
But, in other news
SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!! WOOTS. I can't wait, it seems like this year is going by so slow right now. grr....
But on a sadder note, like, last saturday was prom night in holmes (my old school). And my bf went with someone, which I said was fine, they're just friends. And I trust him, but I guess me, being overly emotional and retarded still gets jealous, especially since I won't be able to have a senior prom. And, to make matters worse, we went out to eat, and I guess it was some other school's prom and I saw a whole bunch of girls dressed up, and I got a bit upset. Well, internally. I couldn't really show it, cause my relatives were here. And I've never met her before, so I didn't want to make a ruckus.
But yah, that's all that's happened.
Hope y'all are doing great! *hugs*

Hey guys, long time no see.
Things have been crazy hectic if I haven't told you before, but my life has been flipped upside down.
It really took a turn for the worst when last week on Friday, at 2:30 in the morning I got a text message from one of my best friends in Texas (I'm in Virginia), whose like a brother to me, no, he is a brother to me, and he basically tried to committ suicide. I have never been so freaked out in my entire life, I don't think I'll ever be so scared again. I was calling everyone I knew trying to get someone to help him out, he wasn't answering his phone and it was just crazy. Luckily, he didn't committ suicide and he was admitted to the hospital. He's doing okay now and says that he won't do it again, but I'm still a bit scared because apparently that was the third time he'd tried to kill himself. v_v
It hasn't helped that, like everyone else apparently, I've been kinda depressed and un movtivated lately. I haven't really wanted to do any school work, and I've really missed my boyfriend more than usual. Maybe it's because I keep seeing all these different couples and watching Nana (that might have something to do with it) so it keeps bugging me. *sigh* I wish he didn't live so far away.
Plus, we're about to move again, and the whole family is stressed out, and I hate it when this happens. It's like I can't move a foot without someone screaming at me and it's really driving me up the wall.
Plus, it's prom time and I'm not going cause none of my friends are going and I don't have a date. Which is fine I suppose, but it really sucks cause next year for my senior year I won't get to have a senior prom cause there ISN'T one over there, and my boyfriend is going this year with some girl, I mean, I know about it, and he asked if it was alright, they're just going as friends, and I trust him and all, but I just get jealous, you know? Like, I want to be over there, and sometimes I get too damn emotional...
Sorry for being emoistic to you guys, thanks for being here.
Catherine
