Kiwi

I can't resist.
Nicole and I saw this shirt, so I had to look up a picture.

Kiwi Fruit...

OH NO!!!

Fanime

Well, Ellen, Nicole, Kelly, Stephanie, Brian, and a whole bunch of other people I know (or don't know) went to a Fanime convention in San Jose. I'd never been to one before. It was 4 days long. It was based off Japanese anime (cartoons), manga (comics) and video games. There were a lot of really cool shops. And everyone dresses up! I dressed up as MIdna. I'll have to put up one of the pictures of me. But if I go back next year, it will only be for one day. To look at the shops. Because I only know 6 things anime. So, most of the convention made absolutely no sense to me at all.
Let's see. The list of stuff I knew at Fanime:
Legend of Zelda Games.
Miyazaki Movies
Pokemon
Cardcaptors series
+ Anima manga
Wolf's Rain (that Ellen made me watch and was REALLY DEPRESSING at the end)
Well, I guess I know Super Smash Brothers too. So, make that 7.

Nicole's threatening to send me a whole list of stuff to watch. She sent me one already, but everything she's recommended so far, I didn't really like. So, I didn't watch more than a few episodes of them. Maybe this list she sends me will be more to my taste. Because Nicole, I will NOT watch it if I don't like it. Or if it's dirty or something. But if I like them, I'm more than happy to watch them.

From the Eyes of the Twilight Princess!!!

I finished my Midna fanfiction last night! It took a really long time to write. Let's see, there's 51 chapters, and I did a chapter a week. So, that gives you an idea of how long it took. I'm kinda sorry it's over. I had a lot of fun writing it.
And I have almost 200 comments! I"m always excited to get new comments, even though I've gotten so many!! And they've all been so good!!
Here it is!!
So, now I have to decide which story to put up next on fanfiction.
Both of them were started a long time ago, so whichever one I decide to do next will need a lot of work.
The oldest one is definitely the Pokemon one I started ages ago. It's evolved quite a bit since then. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I know it's REALLY long. I've added pretty much all the ideas I can think of, so except for major editing, the context is pretty much complete.
And there's the Fern story I've been working on too. There's still some chapters I need to add, and it needs a lot of work too.
Hmm... which one should I put up next?

Stuff

Well, more random pictures.

Midnight

My cat Midnight died yesterday.
I've never lost an animal friend before............

Random Patterns

Okay. Enough writing about Wolverine. Sorry.
These are some cool designs I found. I think I got them off Deviantart. They really dont have any purpose, but they're pictures of Midna's halmet and cloak, and I like Midna.
On another note, I'm almost done with my Midna fanfic! I only have 1 chapter left!! And I have almost 200 comments!!!

Wolverine Again

Wahahah! I just couldn't resist posting again. I just got an email from Nicole (the first time in ages!!) and she said she saw the Wolverine movie too.
Sorry, Nicole, but I have to post this. It was too funny!
A direct quote from Nicole's email to me:

Also, i've seen the newest x-men, and there's a similar scene in that one too! crazy crazy. AND the camera did make love to his body! *drool* it was...wow. just wow.

Nicole!! I never knew you were so into Wolverine!
And yeah. The camera did kinda make love to his body. There were a couple scenes where he ran around and wasn't wearing anything...
Ahem. Thank goodness for censorship. I like him, but not quite that much. Ahem.

Wolverine

On a quick note, I just got back from the new Wolverine movie. SInce it relates to the last post.
It was pretty good. But it was sad since Wolverine lost his memory at the very end. But we knew he would from the X-Men movies.
Professor X Made an appearance too. They tried to make him look 15 years younger, and it looked really freaky.
But yeah, it was pretty good. Even if the Professor looked weird.

Wolverine vs Van Helsing

Okay, I just can't resist. I've watched both X-Men and Van Helsing. I must say, I prefer X-Men. But I like Hugh Jackman, the actor who plays Wolverine and Van Helsing. It would be fun to meet him since he looks like a nice, funny person. (Actually, he's the only actor who's autograph I have. Heheh.) It's be fun to meet the guy who plays Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings movie too. Heheh. Actually, there's a lot of people who would be fun to meet. Like Robin WIlliams or Sean Connery. Some actors definitely look nicer than others. I bet there's a bunch of them who are stuck up snobs.
So, I digress. Again.
I was talking about X-Men and Van Helsing.
So, in the last X-Men, Jean Gray turns into Phoenix, who is pretty evil. (Actually I don't like that. Phoenix wasn't evil in the comics at first. Phoenix only turned evil after someone screwed with her mind. Until that, she used her awesome powers to do good. I read the first few X-Men comics, but I stopped because they started getting too dark and violent). In the X-Men movies, Wolverine was in love with Jean, but in the end he was forced to kill her because Phoenix was killing people.
And in Van Helsing, Van Helsing needs to become a werewolf in order to kill Dracula. But he starts to lose control as a werewolf, and he accidentally kills Anna, the woman he loved.
Plus both Wolverine and Van Helsing suffer from amnesia about the first parts of their lives. They know nothing before a certain point.
So, the first shot is Wolverine holding Jean just after she dies. The second shot is Van Helsing holding Anna just after she dies. (He's just turning back from a werewolf, so that is fur falling off his back in case you want to know). And I got these off Youtube by cutting out a frame of the movie. They're a bit blurry, I think. There's got to be a better way to find a picture from a movie. I didn't find any on google.





Notice some similarities? It's almost impossible to tell what's what. Both dead ladies are wearing similar outfits. So is Hugh Jackman-no shirt.
As Wolverine says at one point, they like to take his shirt off. Sigh. People seem to like that nowadays. I read a review about the new Wolverine movie (I haven't seen it yet, but I probably will once I'm out of class). It was a very... weird review. I didn't read the whole thing since someone stole the second page of it (Dad) but judging from what I read, I don't think the rest of the review was too important. The last line I read before it was cut off was that the best special effect in the movie was Hugh Jackman's body and that the camera made love to it throughout the movie.......................................
Uh.......... If you say so. I come to the conclusion that that reviewer was rather odd. Again, I haven't seen the Wolverine movie yet so I can't say. But I still think that review was kinda... freaky. I don't understand people's obsession about that kind of stuff.
(Heheh. Hugh is a funny name. Sorry. That was random. Nothing against the name or any people named Hugh, I just think it's a funny name).

Poetry

I've never put up any of my poems yet, have I? I've written several of them already. I just haven't put them up yet...
I'll write one whenever I'm inspired to do so. I'm pretty good at making up rhymes, but not all of my poems rhyme.

Dolphin Heroes

So, recently there's been news about pirates. Real pirates. Like how they rescued that one ship captain from pirates and the pirates vowed revenge.
So, here's something fun! Animals are helping in the fight against evil! (Added bonus, I finally found out how to attach a link. I was doing the wrong thing this whole time. Heheh. Oops.)

BEIJING, April 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Thousands of dolphins blocked the suspected Somali pirate ships when they were trying to attack Chinese merchant ships passing the Gulf of Aden, the China Radio International reported on Monday.
The Chinese merchant ships escorted by a China's fleet sailed on the Gulf of Aden when they met some suspected pirate ships. Thousands of dolphins suddenly leaped out of water between pirates and merchants when the pirate ships headed for the China's.

The suspected pirates ships stopped and then turned away. The pirates could only lament their littleness befor the vast number of dolphins. The spectacular scene continued for a while.

China initiated its three-ship escort task force on Dec. 26 last year after the United Nations Security Council called on countries to patrol gulf and waters off Somalia, one of the world's busiest marine routes, where surging piracy endangered intercontinental shipping.

China's first fleet has escorted 206 vessels, including 29 foreign merchant vessels, and successfully rescued three foreign merchant ships from pirate attacks.

About 20 percent of Chinese merchant ships passing through the waters off Somalia were attacked by pirates from January to November in 2008, before the task force was deployed.

A total of seven ships, either owned by China or carrying Chinese cargo and crew, were hijacked.

Tianyu No. 8, a Chinese fishing vessel with 16 Chinese and eight foreign sailors aboard, was captured by Somali pirates on Nov. 14 and released in early February.

The second fleet of Chinese escort ships arrived at the Gulf of Aden on Monday to replace the first fleet.

Simple Gifts

So, on fanfiction, someone who read my Midna story asked me to write a story. No one's ever asked me to write something before. Heheh. So, he gave me two options, so I picked this one:
It's Christmas in Hyrule and Midna is trying to find a present to give Link. It's called "Simple GIfts" after the song. I'll see if I can put my new story up tonight.
