Hi and welcome to my world! This is the new home for my random posts about life and other stuff. My myOtaku site still exists but I won't be updating there anymore. So, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your stay!

I Am Still Alive
Hey everyone. I figured I should drop by and let you know that I'm not dead. Between the end of finals and now, I just haven't been home too much. I do apologize for my inactivity here though. I intend to get around to visiting everyone again though so expect to see me some time soon.
In other news, things have been pretty good lately. There's been a lot of hanging out with friends which has been fun. I'm currently waiting on a friend of mine from Ireland to show up. He's been here in the country for almost three weeks (likely visiting family in other states) so he should end up here soon.
Other than that, not much else is going on. Assuming all goes according to plan, I start work on Friday. My friend got me a job working with him as a security officer for the county police. I'm not entirely sure what to expect yet but it should definitely be interesting.
Anyway, as usual, I definitely had more to say when I started typing this but I forgot whatever the rest was. I should probably be getting to bed anyway though so on that note, thanks for sticking around after all this time and have a great night/day!
Dagger:
That was indeed the anime. Thanks! And yeah, it definitely was fun to hear him live, even not knowing much about him in advance.
Oh, and why do you (among others) have a cupcake next to your name?
New York Comic Con 2008
Hey everyone. I'm sorry that I haven't been around at all for the last couple of weeks. I really intended not to let this happen on the new site but school got the better of me. The end of the semester has been far busier than I thought it would b...Yay for Friday!
Today actually came surprisingly quickly considering it was the first week back after a break. If you read my last post, you know that I had a calc test and a physics test this week and that I wasn't particularly excited about either.
First, the calc test, which I took yesterday. While it wasn't as awful as I expected to be, it was by no means fun. There was at least half of one question that I had no idea how to answer, though neither did anyone else. I'm not looking forward to getting this one back though.
Physics on the other hand is another story. In doing the practice problems our professor gave us, I expected some completely impossible question to show up on the quiz (the physics quizzes all consist of one question). What we got though, unless I messed up entirely, was one very easy question which I'm fairly certain that I got right so at least the week ended on a high point.
All I have left for today is a calc recitation at 3 and then I'm done. Tomorrow, I'll be going to The Stone Pony in Ashbury to see my friend's band play so that should be fun. I don't really have much else planned at the moment but stuff will likely come up at random like it usually does.
And to finish off this post, I'd just like to welcome Sabrina to theOtaku and OtakuBoards. I saw her over at OB yesterday but just found out that she's Crystia's roommate so I figured I say hello. So Sabrina, if you read this, hello and welcome!
And now for comments. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Mimmi:
Haha, that's completely understandable. If I didn't have to know it, I'd be staying away from it too 
Dagger:
With one more week down, I'm sure you're just as excited as I am about the fact that there's just about a month left now ^_^
PhoenixClawth:
I wish you luck with your acquisition of a Wii, though it doesn't look too promising so far from what you said. As for playing online, my Wii will be home to stay as of this weekend so that presents itself as an option (I can't get online with the Wii from my room at school).
snow fox:
First off, thanks for wishing me luck on the tests!
Pretty much no ones' "spring break" or "mid-semester break" or whatever they want to call it makes sense but oh well, it's still a break
And not so bad? I'll trade places with you if you want 
Crystia:
Unfortunately, no break is ever long enough. They all go by leaving you wanting more... I'm glad you enjoyed it while it lasted though!
Back at School
Hey everyone. I'm sorry for my lack of activity here over the last week or so. I thought I'd have more time over spring break but I spent almost none of it in front of the computer. I've got some time before class though so I'll be making my rounds after I finish writing this.
Spring break was good. I didn't do anything too exciting - mainly just hanging out with friends and playing Brawl and Call of Duty 4. I really didn't want to go back to classes after that but we only have five or so weeks of class left anyway so I guess it could be worse.
As far as school is concerned, it's not too bad. Nothing really out of the ordinary is going on. I have a calc test on Thursday and a physics test on Friday but as far as I can tell, neither of them should be too difficult. Of course, now that I've said that, they'll both be impossible but we'll see.
And for anyone interested, the book I'm reading for class now (and will have an essay due for in one week) is called The Celestina. I had never heard of it before this semester but so far, it's not bad.
Anyway, I'm pretty much out of things to say so I'll just move on to comments now.
Shadow:
Thanks! I just hope we'll be saying the same about calc and physics soon
Brawl is great but you've got two excellent games to keep yourself busy with. I loved Assassin's Creed and COD4 is fantastic (I'll be buying it at some point this week). It's just too bad you don't have them for Xbox 360 instead because I could find you online if you did. Oh well, enjoy them anyway - regardless of system, neither game disappoints.
snow fox:
A trip to Australia is well worth the wait for Brawl. Plus, we've all waited a couple years anyway - what's another couple of months? You'll definitely enjoy it when you get back though. It's worth playing if not only to see Mario, Sonic, and Solid Snake all in the same game.
Crystia:
Brawl is one of those games that's really hit or miss. I don't know of anyone who simply thinks its okay. The thing about it is that there's nothing earth-shatteringly new about Brawl that you couldn't have gotten in Melee so chances are if you were never into the old ones, Brawl will be no different. Though as I mentioned above, it is interesting to see Mario, Sonic, and Solid Snake on screen at the same time.
And I fully agree - nine days of free time is always a welcome idea. I hope you enjoyed your spring break as well!
SunfallE:
I've yet to play online with anyone from OB yet (mainly because i haven't gone and taken friend codes out of the Arcade Online thread) but it's something that should prove to be a lot of fun and make the game that much more worth playing.
Aaryanna:
It is At the very least, it's worth going over to someone else's house to give it a shot.
One-day:
You definitely should. I'm sure it won't be hard to find a display of it set up somewhere - it's all over the place at the moment.
And you are most welcome *throws you a little more fruit*
PhoneixClawth:
Those "little glass container thingies" are called assist trophies and are a new feature to Brawl. Basically, some other character (or characters) who are not main, playable characters pops out and helps whoever got the assist trophy. They're not always useful though, as I'm sure you saw from the Nintendog.
Brawl is Amazing
The title says it all. I've been playing it a lot (some would say too much but there's no such thing as too much Brawl). I finished Subspace Emissary on hard at, if I remember correctly, 92%. I actually liked this adventure mode a lot. It gives you a chance to try out a whole bunch of the characters early on in addition to adding some platforming elements to a Smash Bros. game.
That leads me to one question though. To anyone who has played Subspace Emissary, do you know what a green flag on a level means? It seems like this is something that may be covered in the manual but unfortunately, the manual is at home and these flags have been driving me crazy since the first time I saw them.
Oh, and for all interested, my Brawl friend code is 0731-4414-6276. I'll eventually be posting a full list of all online-game related info here (once I put one together that is).
In other news, spring break is next week and I can't wait. School hasn't been awful but a nice little while off is always welcome. As for school itself, it's going well. Some of the classes are getting a little harder but it's not too bad yet.
Anyway, I'm in class so I guess I should wrap this up. I feel like I had more to say but I can't think of what that was now. Oh well. Thanks for reading and have a great night/day!
Crystia:
Thanks. The other test wasn't too bad, though I've yet to see how I did on it.
Red:
Hehe, but of course. I'm always happy to support a WoW related venture
Desbreko:
Heh, that goes to show how long it's been since I looked at that thread. Once I'm home, I'll make one master list and post it there. I've been meaning do do it for a while anyway.
Dagger:
Thanks! Physics was great until we moved on to new material. I seemed to know what I was doing on the test but I have an awful feeling that I did it completely wrong (it was a one question test). I'll likely find out how I did tomorrow.
Mimmi:
Thanks
PhoneixClawth:
Thanks!
As you can probably tell, I do indeed have Brawl (and have since midnight on Sunday). However, I can't get online from school but you can take the friend code from above anyway.
And yes, I have rather excellent multi-tasking skills.
