Progress and happenings

Here I am, blogging from my own computer. Why, you ask? Or rather, why don't you normally? See, my computer is kinda slow. Not extremely such, but YouTube lags. :\ anyway, I usually use my mom's computer. But, after downloading a virus onto it by accident for like what, the THIRD TIME? Dad told me I need to be using my own or he'll take it away. Makes sense, I guess. Well, here I am. I just wish videos didn't lag over here. *sigh*.
Moving on. God is pretty much amazing. He's so cool! He's given me talent, and opportunity, and friends and a personality that is SO ME and SO UNIQUE that it can't even be put into words. I'm seeking to live out who I am (that is, who God made me) and not hide myself or hold myself back. I'm going to pursue my dreams (at the moment, that is to become a voice actor for anime) and trust God to guide me. I'm going for the goal, like Paul wrote about. Even if I have to take some parts of the course slower, finishing is what I'm aiming for. Getting there. To have finished the race is better than running really fast but giving up halfway there. Anyway.... that sounded like I was trying to give an inspirational speech. hee! Main point: God is cool.
Aaalso....  I got two books on Voice Acting yesterday.  Voice Over Voice Actor: what it's like behind the mic by Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt, and VO(with some subtitle) by Harlan Hogan. Mom said I needed to take notes, or highlight them and go back through and put my notes on the computer. I opted for highlighting. So the inside of Voice Over Voice Actor is all orangey now (I read the whole thing yesterday and it was great) and I'm about halfway through VO with my blue highlighter. I suspect Bethany would want to borrow them sometime, so I apologize in advance for all the marking, bestie. :D
I made a Gaia online account (I used to have one before, but forgot the password) and I've been on there a little bit. Mainly cuz the avatars are cool, and I'm entered in an art contest. But for the most part, it's not my kinda site. The atmosphere is very PG-13. *sigh*
Neeeeext up, anime. I gotta update on anime!!! Ummm, recently I've been watching Shugo Chara. Miki is awesome! she's blue, she doesn't wear a dress, and she draws. All components of a really awesome character. :D Lesse..... I got Solty Rei from the library. It's okay.. I wish Roy wouldn't cuss so much. :\ *sigh* anyway, I like Solty's outfit and don't like it at the same time. I like the colors, design, and originality but it's kind of awkwardish. And too tight. moving right along. The bastrop library doesn't have that much anime. It has a lot of manga, but it's anime selection consists of things that I have seen, or things that are constantly checked out, or things I'm not interested in, like Death Note, and Bleach. I tried watching Vampire Knight, but it wasn't really my kinda anime. Vampires + fluff doesn't really suit my tastes. The only vampire anime I have watched is Karin. It's..... okay... except for the opening sequence which I hate and ALWAYS skipped. I liked the different take it took on vampires. I mean people still hated them and were scared of them and I still am not a vampire fan but it was obvious that someone put some thought into this and broke stereotypes without completely ruining the whole concept. But enough about that. Karin gets about three stars out of five. Shugo Chara... uh, four out of five. Vampire knight... I'd have to give it two out of five, and Solty Rei, three out of five.
1 being, I really don't like it. 2 being, I'll watch it if I HAVE to. 3 being, meh, it's okay, I don't mind watching it but if there's other options I like better I'll go for those. 4 being, I like it, pretty good! and 5 being: AWESOME SAUCE!!
haha. Otaku here!!! Most anime I watch, I would rate 4 stars. Ouran gets five :))
Think I've talked about anime enough? NEVER. hah. Time for Cosplay stuff! I want to cosplay Miki from Shugo Chara, Cisqua from Elemental Gelade, Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, and uh... well, I have a lot of materials for Hinata and hair similar to hers so might as well keep her on the list even though Naruto is WAY over-rated (but I still like the old series, though not shippuden or most of the fillers).
Alright, NOW I'm done with anime. Immerse is in a coupla weeks. woohoo! good times with friends and God. I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to learn all sorts of stuff and hang out at AHOP and FINALLY see Bethany again. It's been way too long TT.TT
It seems like she's been having a blast at Persist. I wish I could do it next year but I dunno about transportation. That would mean driving into Austin EVERY DAY for several weeks. Anyway...
It was raining pleasantly for a while until it stopped. I dunno when that was but it was sometime while I was on the computer. I have some drawing I should probably do, and some reading, and I'm trying to limit my computer time, so I'd better get off now. This is probably my longest blog post....like ever. Hm. :)
