So, another Wednesday, and another blog. Ever since the family birthday party earlier in the week, I haven't been eating much because I became so stuffed. When a storm made everyone leave, it was almost as if Katrina hit for a moment. The wind was blowing the rain sideways, there was lightning everywhere, and a line even went down with two massive sparks in front of my eyes. It was a very eventful day, but both Mimi and I were exhausted the next day. The food was so good, I wish I had access to that kind of cooking every day.
On Friday through Sunday, I'll be helping out my teacher with house sitting. She hasn't called back yet for a meeting since the first time I met her even though she said she would, so I plan on calling her later today. There are a few things we need to briefly discuss again and I also need to get the alarm buttons from her so I can disable/enable the alarm as needed. I'll probably be calling her around 5:30 to 6.
Other than that, not much has been going on, but I did finish Yu Yu Hakusho for the first time this week. It was an amazing and heartfelt anime, and I want to watch it again sometime. My favorite characters are Kurama, Jin, Hiei, Genkai, Kaito, and Raizen. I'm now going to watch Hunter x Hunter, but it's taking forever to download, so I've just been rewatching anime episodes from Wolf's Rain to spend the time.
That's about all of the events that have been going on so far, so until next time~!

Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Well, Wednesday again. So it's time to blog post now~ Nothing much new has happened over the week, other than the fact I got to spend lots of time with a certain person. It was at a gaming tournament, where I also got to play a game that I had been dying to play. I played Marvel vs Capcom 3 with the team of Amaterasu, Ryu, and Hsien-Ko. Interestingly enough, I'm super super good with Hsien-Ko, and she was recommended to me! I had always planned to have Ammy on my team, but I'm only medium good with her. I heard her difficulty is hard, though, so I guess it's not too bad. Ryu is more of a buffer, he's easy to play and a good counter for lots of characters, not to mention the main reason I picked him was because his name means dragon in Japanese. XD
Next week I will be house sitting for one of my favorite teachers. She's the one I talked about before, the one who was like my grandmother I never knew. It will be from June 15-17 I believe, I'd have to get the paper again though. Then later in June I will house sit for a much longer time, and in July I might be house sitting some but I doubt it since I have so much to do in July. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out then, and I'm also helping my mom get her garage cleaned out. There is also a huge gaming tournament in July that I don't want to miss, so July is pretty full for me.
I'm also thinking about August. In August, I'll finally be in college, and after August I'll finally be 18. I'll be an official adult, with no one required to take care of me. I already know I'll never be alone, because I'm with too many wonderful people and one even more wonderful, but it is food for thought. It's the official launching pad of life, the diving board, the edge of the cliff as you're about to hang glide. There are so many possibilities out there. It's my hope to take hold of adventure and go where I can, while also helping others along the way as much as possible. Life's about to truly start, and I can see the horizon.

Lol, haven't blogged in forever. XD The end of school has made me forget, but a great friend made me remember when she showed me a link to her tumblr. I don't use tumblr, but her picture blog reminded me of my blog.
Lots of things have been going on since the end of school, and currently I'm playing through Okamiden a second time. Going back and looking at it now, it looks like they did put a lot of effort into it. My first playthrough was plagued with me trying to compare it to Okami, but now that I've finished it and seen all the elements through and have been replaying it, it truly is a great game. It must've been tough to convert all the Okami detailed graphics into quality but smaller graphics for Okamiden since it's on the DS. The only big flaw of the game is the fact that the quality checker for Okamiden's script didn't do a very good job, as there are typos throughout and a dialogue error as well. I also missed being able to walk on water and swim in Okami, but I'm sure they would've added the feature if there was enough space.
Tomorrow I will be going to see one of my teachers to discuss how I can housesit for her while she's gone in June. She told me it's like I could have my own apartment- live there, sleep there, take care of her pets while she's gone, keep everything nice and clean, and etc. She really believes in me and trusts me, and that makes me feel so amazing. My mom has already said that I can't live there, but that I can visit and housesit, which I expected, but I'm planning on asking the teacher later on if she needs more housesitting when I'm 18. Once my parents can see that I can be responsible, then they will be more lenient with me. I would love to housesit for her- it's like she's my grandmother I never knew. I really feel like family with her, and not very many people make me feel that way.
I've been playing Minecraft a lot, which is a game in which you build and destroy blocks in a world made literally of blocks. Now that I think of it, it's like Okami but you get to edit the overworld whenever you want to and however you want to. XD There is Single player and Multiplayer, free Classic and paid Beta. Someone I am very close to has Beta, and he has let me play on his account sometimes. Beta is definitely beautiful, it's a shame that most of the servers for multiplayer mode get wiped so frequently that keeping your builds there is next to impossible. Even the ones that don't get wiped often still get wiped every few months. On the free Classic reddit server, though, it hasn't seem to have gotten wiped in a long while- just the opposite, they appear to just add more maps when there's no more space. It's really a great place to play and build.
I am probably going to start being very busy in June. That's mainly when I want to start getting the most done. I just realized that June is tomorrow, looking at the date, so I'll have to get ready for next month. I won't be too busy for the computer, but I probably won't be on as much. I'll start blogging every Wednesday again- I'm confident I'll have the time for it. And to remember, I'll keep the tab open in my main browser window. Till next time~
