Japanese, Furuba, and Random

Me: *sighs* Well I'm bored today so this post isn't going to be too entertaining. I'm also rather tired too.

Sage: Playing baseball in the parking lot while barefoot was really that tiring?

Me: Not really...but my feet kind of hurt right now but not much. I'm glad that I was in gymnastics for five years...that way you get calluses and it doesn't hurt that much when you walk over gravel. ;P

Sage: Try walking over hot coals.

Me: Yeah...not trying that.

Ash: It goes without saying that you don't have a topic.

Me: ...yeah...I also started writing this post later than normal so that's going to make it even shorter than usual.

Ren: ...did you plan anything out for today?

Me: Uhhhh...not really...

Sage: Mataku...

Zeth: Good grief in Japanese.

Me: After awhile they're going to start needing a Japanese to English dictionary because I'm taking Japanese next year! So excited! I already know a tiny bit but I can't wait to learn more!

Zeth: Why?

Me: ...Nani? (What?)

Zeth: Why do you want to learn Japanese?

Me: Oh. ...well...I'm not really sure. I guess it'd be cool to watch Anime that aren't subbed and understand what they're saying and just knowing Japanese will also be pretty neat because it sounds cool.

Sage: French sounds cool too.

Me: Yeah, but I want to learn something unique. Chinese seems too hard and even though Japanese will be probably quite difficult, I'm still excited to learn it!

Sage: Zeth and I already know it pretty fluently, though there are still a few things that I don't know how to say.

Zeth: We don't speak it that often though...

Me: Mostly because I don't like it when I don't know what they're talking about.

Sage: It's almost three o'clock...

Me: Darn...and I don't really know what to talk about...

Ren: What about what you've been doing all week?

Me: Oh yes!

Sage: ...Ren you should have kept you mouth shut...

Ren: Gomen. (Sorry)

Me: I've been rewatching a anime show that I really like now! It's called Furuba!

Sage: No, it's called Fruits Basket. Furuba is just a nickname for it.

Zeth: She's kind of getting obsessed with it.

Sage: Not only that; when she watches it, she gets into this really annoying, overly emotional and dramatic mood that drives me crazy....

Zeth: So basically she starts acting like Tohru, the main character.

Sage: Pretty much. You're lucky you weren't around her yesterday...she went insane.

Me: But it's sooo good! It has really cool characters and the idea is pretty interesting too! There are some really cute characters too! Like the one little girl that's shy and doesn't like to talk? She's adorable!!

Sage: ...and cue girly mode. Zeth, where'd you put the frying pan?

Zeth: It's in my bag. I brought it just in case.

Sage: Oh, well look at that. It's almost three ten. Time to wrap it up.

Me: Awww! Do I have to?

Sage: Yes. Yes you do.

Me: Darn... *sighs* Fine. Well I'll see you next week everyone. Oooo!! I just got an idea! Big surprised next week! We're going to have someone special join our blog next week.

Sage: Another one? Don't we have enough people already.

Me: Nope! I think one more will be fun!

Sage: Don't tell me...it's--

Me: SHHHH!!! Don't spoil it! Well, see ya'll next week. Ja-na! (See you later.)

Tulip Pictures

Me: Finally! Goodness my computer is being really slow today...I was just barely able to save the pictures!

Me: Tada! Pretty right?! The last collage is my three favorite flowers that were there. Probably my absolute favorite was a dark black-ish purple that seemed kinda black. Here are more pictures of that one:

Me: After that one comes a red one with yellow spike-like things around the tips:

Me: Then lastly a single purple striped flower that was just sitting in the middle of the other flowers:

Me: It was the only one of it's kind so that was pretty cool.

Sage: And so that's where we were last Thursday; at a tulip festival taking pictures.

Me: I took around 300 pictures while I was there. :)

Sage: ...I have no idea how you were able to drag me there.

Me: Well tricking you to get in the car was pretty simple and the rest was a piece of cake.

Sage: *rolls eyes*

Thallus: We don't have much time for chatting because Silver's internet cuts out at 10:00 so we'll have to cut it short today.

Ash: We're watching Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and it's kinda important to pay attention.

Me: It's my second time watching it and I really love it! Now my favorite movie.

Sage: We should go now.

Me: Yeah, I know. Well see you all next week! There is co-op so I won't forget this time. Bye!

~N~

Not Enough Hours in the Day

Me: *groans* Sage, don't say anything...

Sage: *tries to hid smirk*

Me: ...I don't have a theme...and yet again I am clueless as to what to talk about.

Thallus: Well for one, they're probably wondering why we weren't here last week.

Me: Ah, right...well there was no co-op last week and that usually is my reminder to write the blog post. On top of that, I was gone all of Thursday and Friday last week...ok well most of Thursday. Ooo! Idea! Why don't I show you guys the pictures of the tulips that I took on Thursday! Thought making the collages might take awhile... If you guys are the with having a much shorter post...

Zeth: I'm sure they'll be fine with it.

Me: ok...but I don't want to disappoint anybody...

Sage: Silver, make the collages.

Me: ...fine.

*few minutes later*

Me: ugh! The Internet here is too slow and the site I'm using keeps crashing on me. :( I'm going to have to wait until we get home to do the collages and get them up...

Ren: You computer has a mind of its own...

Me: it certainly does...I'm on my iPod right because my computer froze on me.

Sage: which would explain the punctuational errors.

Me: yep. Great...I just wasted all the time trying to work on a few collages and now I'm leaving soon! *sighs* There's just never enough hours in the day.

Zeth: Well I guess that means you'll have to post the pictures when you get home.

Me: Evrem, you have permission to bug me until I do but only if I ignore Sage's reminder

Evrem: *salutes* Will do!

Me: We'll I should get the rest of this post up later today, so sorry about how short this is. See you again in a few hours!

~N~

I have a topic!!

Me: So, do you like the new design of the blog? It's kind of ridiculous how long it took me to decide which one to keep...it was going to be red, then it was going to be dark green, then it was going to be multicolored but then I wanted the background to pop more and then--

Sage: Ok, ok, we get it, there were lots of choices and took you a long time to decide which one to go with.

Me: Oo! Also I added a poll off to the left side where you can vote how often I put up a post. Every other day, every week, or every week, or every month. Every other day could be difficult but doable. (I'd most likely miss a few days...but there would be more posts.) After a while I'll make the decision based on the results...don't know when yet. Ignore the 'days left to vote' because I'm just waiting until there are enough votes.

Naem: Are we going to get to the topic?

Me: Relax, I'm getting there. Also, I was wondering if you people like the tabs that link to the characters. I divided them up into stories because Blogger limits the number of pages to twenty and I have almost more than twenty characters. ;P I think I also might have to get rid of a few characters that are busy and don't have the time to come on...like Daerien (he has a job so he's rather busy), Draven (has an annoying habit to go on adventures and not come back for a while), Taeyin (she's spending time with her family and also is now going to school), and Alexis (isn't around very much because she's with my friend and also is rather quiet).

Sage: ...you need to change my picture.

Me: Why? I like that picture of you.

Sage: It doesn't fit anymore.

Me: Eh, I'll keep it for now but remind me of that later and I'll see if I can get a different one up.

Evrem: I like my new picture! Even though it doesn't really fit my personality, it works for me.

Ria: The outfit is totally you.

Evrem: Yep! Don't know why I have those handcuffs but whatever, it's cool.

Aerista: Kaeri might need a different picture too...

Me: Yeah...but I'll have to work on that later.

Naem: ...topic?

Me: Yes, I did come up with a topic.

Thallus: ...when?

Me: ...just today but at least I had a while to think about it.

Sage: And the topic is...?

Me: Cosplay!

Clayth: ...somehow I knew it was going to be that.

Me: No you didn't.

Claythar: ...yeah, I didn't.

Sage: I did.

Claytharien: Well you're at her house basically every day!

Jafen: ...that sounds a little creepy.

Sage: She's writing a story with me in it and I don't want her going too crazy. Once she's finished with this one I'm going on a long vacation.

Me: A well deserved one too.

Naem: Back to the topic. What is Cosplay?

Sage: If you stuck around, you would know. She was watching Cosplay videos for waaay too long earlier...it was really annoying because she gets into a weird mood.

Me: *ignores Sage* Cosplay...well it's basically dress-up but for teenagers and adults and they usually dress as certain characters from Anime shows.

Naem: Ok that's cool...but what's the point of it?

Me: To have fun! Some people just go all out and they look amazing while other people...well they should even try....

Sage: There are also conventions and things made for cosplayers. There are shows and stuff for people to show off their outfits.

Me: Of course, as cool as it is, you do have the not so good animes that people choose to cosplay from.

Ria: Like Princess Leia in the slave outfit...people do that one all the time. It's stupid.

Me: And there are always at least ten people dressed as Naturo running around...

Evrem: So cosplay is a thing you'd like to do, right?

Me: ...if I was able to get a few of my friends to do it with me, maybe. But I do really want a wig! Colored contacts would be awesome as well but that's a little unlikely...so I'm just going to look for wigs. :) I don't really care what color or anything but as long as it looks cool, I'm fine with it.

Aerista: The funny thing is, the people that cosplay are almost always girls.

Zeth: Well dress-up is a thing that's more for girls...

Me: But it looks better when guy characters are played by guys. Of course there are those certain girls who can look like guys...but it's just a little strange.

Sage: I assume you're going to post pictures of cosplays aren't you?

Me: Yep! I have to go find a few...let me see...I have to get one of Lalasosu's cosplays because she is amazing.

Sage: I knew you were going to pick her...

Me: Ok! Here we go:

 

Me: Yay! Ok so Lalasosu is Sebastian (person with black hair) in the last two.

Ria: ....she does look like a guy...

Me: Though you can still kinda tell that she's a girl.

Zeth: Sometimes guys look like girls if they try to do cosplay because of the makeup they have to wear to make themselves look more like the character...

Me: Yeah, that is true...

Ren: Do you know which animes those are from?

Me: Yep. Though, then again, it's not always of anime things. Sometimes people do characters from movies like Avengers, Star Wars, Blah-blah-blah. The top two pictures are from Naruto. The next one I believe is from Code Geass...I think...I'm not completely sure on that one because I haven't watched that show. The fourth is from Sword Art Online, then there's a vocaloid which is a whole different topic in itself, (not an anime), then the last two that Lalasosu did are from Kuroshitsuji (Black Bulter) which I have only watched one episode of.

Sage: Time's up.

Me: Ok, well just in time. :) So! Remember to vote for how long you want me to post, comment saying if you like the division of the tabs, and feel free to tell me what you think of Cosplay! See ya'll next week!

Story Mode!

Sage: What's with the title?

Me: Well I decided that I'm going to write today's post in third person like I do with almost all of my stories.

Thallus: Well this should be...interesting.

Evrem: But that kind of keeps us from voicing our opinions...

Me: Not really...well let's see how this goes. XP

Thallus: You might want to explain something first.

Me: Hmm? Oh! Yes, well no one can see my characters unless they (being my characters) want them to, and most of the time they prefer not to be seen so they're almost always with me, but always invisible. I can see them though, no matter if they're visible to others or not.

Thallus: Ok, write away.

Me: *grins* Here we go!

Silver, Sage, Thallus, Ash, Ren, Kaeri, Evrem, and Zeth were all sitting on black couches sitting along a long hall at Silver's co-op. Not many people walked by this area because it was farther back in the building they were in and most people were on the first floor in the room that was used as the study-room lunchroom. Silver enjoyed this place because it was quieter and easier to focus so it was easier to blog and write on her stories. Occasionally the people in charge of vacuuming would disrupt her, like now but after a while she was able to focus again. Sage was playing with a deck of cards and Evrem was attempting to steal them away from him, but he failed each time. Ash and Ren were standing over by the gray wall discussing something important while Silver and the others were attempting to start a conversation about something interesting to keep the blog alive.
"I can't think of a single thing to talk about!" Silver groaned.
Sage smirked and opened his mouth to say a cheeky comment but thought otherwise and closed it. Thallus was sitting as a phoenix on the back of the couch and thought for a moment, his head tilting slightly.
"Well...we could just do another grapevine conversation like we always do." He said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, but we do that almost all the time." Silver countered with a sigh. "I want to try something different but nothing's coming to mind."
Sage quickly snatched Evrem's wrist before he grabbed an ace of clubs and glanced up.
"Well you could give a brief update on what you've been writing."
Silver thought for a moment.
"I guess I have written a little on Melting Fire which is quite a surprise actually...I'm also getting a few good daydreams about it that could help me write it as well."
"But you've been mainly working on SM or Sealed Memories, right?" Zeth asked, bouncing a small ball against the wall and catching it.
"True...thought these passed two days I haven't been able to write anything at all."
"And that's your fault for getting distracted." Sage said.
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Silver pouted.
Kaeri was sleeping on the couch next to Silver and his ear twitched slightly in his sleep. Evrem smirked and started sneaking over to him but Sage grabbed the back of his shirt and jerked him back.
"Don't you think about it."
Evrem crossed his arms and sat down in one of the black leather chairs with a bit of a pout, watching Kaeri sleep happily.
"He always takes catnaps." Evrem muttered.
"Well he is a lot like a cat, so what do you expect?" Silver said, glancing at Kaeri with a smile and lightly petting his ears.
"You've never even had a cat, so how do you know what they act like?" Ash asked.
Silver paused for a moment.
"Well...I mostly just guess..."
The ball Zeth was bouncing, hit a garbage can and went while, bouncing all over the place and almost hitting Thallus. Sage quickly ducked to avoid getting hit but Evrem wasn't as fortunate as the ball smacked him in the shoulder. It kept on bouncing though. Silver let out a yelp as it just about hit her and watched as the ball continued to bounce like mad around the hall. It disappeared down the long hallway and Zeth grinned
"Oops..." He said.
"You totally did the on purpose." Evrem said, glaring at Zeth.
"What makes you say that?" Zeth said, putting on a innocent face.
Sage threw a pillow at him and Zeth quickly caught it, chuckling.
The ball suddenly came back and smacked Zeth on the head. Everyone began laughing then. Zeth rolled his eyes a little embarrassed but didn't say anything. Silver quickly glanced at her watch.
"We only have like twenty or fifteen minute left until we have to back up to leave...and I still can't think of anything..."
Silver paused for a moment before pulling out her iPod. Sage rolled his eyes and waited a little while before flinging a card at her and smacking her on the forehead.
"You're getting distracted." He said, shuffling the deck.
"Well I'm completely clueless as the what to write!" Silver complained.
"This is why you're supposed to think about it ahead of time." Thallus said.
"But my day is so busy..."
"Oh really? You watched YouTube for thirty minutes last night when you could have been thinking about what to talk about the next day." Ash said.
"You too?!" Silver exclaimed. "Why is everyone against me?!"
She then stopped and looked up at the ceiling, thinking.
"You know...it's about time that I gave the blog a makeover...I also need to redo all the profiles and make it so that I can fit in more if I need to."
Thallus shifted back into himself and sat on the arm of the couch.
"And I need my profile to be up there too." He said.
"True...uuuuuuuugh...why don't I do that next week!" She said, suddenly getting an idea.
Zeth was searching around for his ball but couldn't seem to find it.
"But that'll probably take you the entire hour, meaning that there wouldn't be time to write." Ren pointed out.
Silver nodded, tapping her chin thoughtfully.
"Yes, I know that so that means next week there won't be a post but I'll be completely giving the site a makeover and I'll look brand new! Ooo! I could even add a slide show or a collage!" Silver said, getting excited about the idea.
"Whoa there." Ash said, holding up a hand. "Don't go to crazy."
"Yeah, you do that enough." Sage said.
Silver rolled her eyes and calmed herself down.
"I guess I'm mixing my excitement for the formal tomorrow with redesigning the site." Silver said with a smile.
"You're not nervous about it?" Ren asked.
Silver gave a small laugh.
"Who said that I'm not nervous? I'm totally nervous...but I'm also a little excited. It better not be disappointing." She said slowly.
Sage glanced up at the clock and tapped his cards against his palm.
"Well times up." He said, slipping the cards into the case and standing up.
Silver glanced up at the clock, startled.
"What?! Already? Boy does time fly... Well, I'm going to have to remember to remodel the website next week. Sage, you remind me."
"I always remind you of stuff." He mumbled.
"That's because you're always so good at remembering."
Sage rolled his eyes but dropped the argument.
"Whatever, time to go pack up."
Silver got up and stretched.
"Ok."

Me: Yay! That was fun! So no post next week, but I'll be changing the site so you can stop by and see my progress if you want.

Sage: And if the background keeps changing as you refresh the page, you know why.

Me: Yeah...well Ja!

~N~
