I just got a Twitter. Does anyone else have one?

If so, add me!: http://twitter.com/lilangelita

I need people to follow. Who would be good to follow? I can't come up with anyone at the moment.

NOOOOO! They kicked Dan out. It was so sad and unexpected. He's the best out of all of them. He has energy, can sing, dance, and wants to be in the band. *cries* He was my favorite! Plus, if they can keep Donnie they should be able to keep Dan.

Now I'm done with that show--without Dan it's just not the same anymore.

Well, I just hope he continues to sing and doesn't give up on his dream. He has talent. <3 I wonder if he has a myspace or something...

Anyways, off to be now! I got ROP tomorrow! =)

Edit: I just watched Anna Tsuchiya's "BUBBLE TRIP" video and it was so cute. I love the song, and now I love the video. Mucho love. <3

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate or tease me
They won’t leave in the night
I’ve no fear that they might desert me

Well, I am now officially 17 years old. God, I'm getting old fast! Anyways, for my birthday I was rewarded with going to school, and then getting home early to take care of my 3 year old little brother. XD

But the highlight of it all was when my friend came over to my friend Nancy's house (I spent the night at her house) and brought me some homemade cupcakes. I was silly, but I almost fucken cried I was so overwhelmed by her kindness. No one before in my life had ever done something so nice for me on my birthday, and although the cupcakes later on gave me a slight case of diarrhea -- they were delicious. ^-^ Then my friend Nancy said she was going to pay for me to go to Knotts Scary Farm on Halloween. I highly doubt it, but it is a nice dream to have.

Other than that, my birthday was okay -- better than other years. However, I am now sick and basically sneezing everywhere. Ergh, and my mom will probably make me work out today too ...

P.S. I can't wait for the concert! I spent all of my birthday money on it, so it better be good. And if I get the chance I'll post some of the pics on here. Now, I'm off to go see if I can still watch that Ranma movie ...

Ranma OVAs have finally come! They arrived like a week ago, but lately all I've been doing is watching them like crazy. I love all of them, especially The Tunnel of Lost Love. They made me happy, and most importantly they made me laugh out loud. It also made me fall back in love with Ranma all over again. *sigh* That's one series that I will never get tired of no matter what. It's just ... the best. Although I do hate the open-ending of the series, I also love it -- it's the only way I can see Ranma ending.

Aren't they just the cutest? ^-^

I was looking through the reviews of some Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfics when I stumbled on one story in particular. It was called "Detours" and it was by a girl named Arekisu. Now, the story wasn't bad, it was just different. However, people these days in the fanfiction world are really starting to dislike anything out-landish and creative. So was said in one girls review of the story, which I thought was a long overdue rant. ^-^

When I read this I felt so happy that somebody else felt the same way I do. I mean, I may not like Mary Sues and dumb plots or OOC fanfics from time to time, but if I don't like it I just won't read it. It's not a fanfic for me, but someone out there will probably like it like no other. Hence, the reason for fanfiction. It's there to satisfy someone's thirst for diversity and creativity. If you just want normal, stick to the story and change nothing type of fanfiction well then what's the point? If it's going to be exactly the same why bother with fanfiction?

Anyways, there's these people outh there who think they're doing people a service by "misting" these fics, which basically means they're making fun of them. No point in it, just mindless comments on how horrible a fic is by making fun of it and expecting the person to take it. These are their reasons to which they justify what they're doing, taken from the sites FAQ ...

My own thoughts: Well, I understand that people have to be prepared to be critized when they post something for everyone to see, but that still doesn't justify this kind of bashing in a "good humor" front. It's not like an actual respectable author is making fun of you (which they never would, they would just give you suggestions on how to improve your writing and to keep trying), instead it's only young kids like yourself who are in the same boat yourself. This seriously makes no sense to me, only that it's meant to either force these poor kids to no longer write or to piss them off so they can make fun of them some more.

I really hope that they stop making fun of fics before things out of control ...

Anyways, I just had to get that off of my chest. I personally think that anyone should be able to write whatever crappy fic they wish to write. And what if you don't like it? Well then don't read it. That's what I've been doing since I was twelve years old and I discovered fanfics (I am currently 16.) I've read from the sickest to the dumbest, to the worst fanfics ever written and I've appreciated every one of them for what they are -- fanfics. Although at times they do leave me asking questions I just decide to stop reading and move on to my own preference of fanfics. Like I said before, someone out there is bound to like that kind of fanfics.

I have finally updated and old Ranma fic of mine. Took me awhile, but I managed I guess. However, people are starting to think it's not an R/A and that Akane's family is being too OOC. Well, to answer those questions and doubts ... This is still an R/A, it's just now with more drama as Ukyo steps into the scene as Ranma's childhood friend and fiancee. I wanted to spice it up, especially with the fact that Akane knows Ukyo loves Ranma ... What will she do when Ranma starts to persue her though? She secretly likes Ranma just as much as Ukyo, but she doesn't want to hurt Ukyo's feelings ...

As for the Tendo family being OOC ... Well, they sort of are, sorry about that. However, I think they would change their attitudes towards Akane if her mother had died giving birth to her. Maybe not completely like I have them in my fic, but I wanted it to be more extreme so that when Ranma tries to show Akane he actually geunielly cares for her ... She freaks. Of course the Tendo family won't be mean to Akane much longer ... They aren't bad people, and I didn't want to make them into characters you just HATE ... I wanted to show how they might act out of carelessness from their deep sorrow at losing a dear family member, however I was planning on having the next couple of chapters concentrate a little bit more on them as they realize their mistakes dealing with Akane ... Here's the rough summary I have so far of upcoming chapters ...

Summary: The Tendo family begin to feel bad about their actions, but Kasumi is the one that grows enough courage to go look for and contact Akane. Weary of it all Akane doesn't take her seriously, but accepts her term of truce when suddenly Kasumi invites Akane to her wedding to Dr. Tofu. Akane is persuaded to go, but only with the emotional support of Ranma and Ukyo. However, she is surprised to find that her family dearly misses her (Soun goes to hug her in a crying fit.) Then things get even more interesting when Ranma and a certain bald guest encounter each other at the wedding. All hell breaks loose and suddenly Akane finds herself engaged to Ranma, upsetting Ukyo to no end. Akane then begins to wonder of her family's true intentions ...

Hope everyone has a nice week!! *huggles*

They finally came through the mail!! Yay!! I’m so happy now – it’s only four days away now. I can’t believe it, I’m gonna see so many bands … But still, there will be no Sonny … Oh well, I guess I’ll fill that gap by beginning my writing of a fanfic of him with my friend Vicky and Johnny Christ from Avenge Sevenfold. It’s gonna be angst filled and drama everywhere – I can assure you it won’t be your normal love triangle.^^

Anyways, my friend decided to volunteer at Warped Tour too so I don’t know how it’s gonna work out, hopefully we’ll still have fun over there. Ah, I’m all excited now. Before I had been crushed by the news of Sonny, but now I actually want to go. Well, for now I’m gonna go back to writing my love triangle fic – it’s looking pretty interesting so far.

P.S. Avatar will be on two days after Warped Tour so it looks like I'm gonna be having a good next week.^^

Ah!! I can't believe it!! I just read the translation of Chapter 129 of Fruits Basket and ... Kyo and Tohru finally hugged!! OMG!! I'm still not over it. It was such a cute chapter and I had sooo been looking forward to it after all the Yuki/Machi stuff. Don't get me wrong Yuki and Machi are cute, but they don't compare to Kyo and Tohru. XD

My favorite part was where they kissed and Tohru totally freaked out, it was just so damn cute. The fact that Tohru freaked out like that reminded me that they're still in high school and Tohru is still very much her usual self.

I can't wait for the last chapter -- it's gonna be epic and hopefully there will be more Kyo and Tohru.

For anyone interested here's where you can read the chapter translation:

Now I'm gonna go freak out about it ... to someone!! XD

Instead of having a big backyard barbeque and such my mother, older brother, and I went shopping at Robinson's May. It wasn't great, but it was something. The sad part is that Robinson's May isn't the same anymore since Macy's bought it, and it also won't be around for long. Supposedly they're going to make the old Robinson's May into the new Macy's while the old Macy's will be another expensive store like Bloomingdales which in my opinion sucks. If they do that then they'll be no reason for me to go to the mall anymore -- Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and all those others stores are too expensive for me ... *sigh* I wish they'd at least put a Target or something, that would be WAY BETTER than another overpriced department store (which no ones go to by the way.) Oh well I guess ...

In other news I just heard that Italy beat Germany. I didn't see the game, but I guess it was a pretty good match. It sucks that Brazil didn't make it, but hopefully Italy will win it.^^ My mom's all sad right now cause she wanted Germany to win.

Which also reminds me, shopping with my mom is sooo draining. She bugs the hell out of me and she knows it. I think she gets some twisted kick out of it too ...

Mom: You know, instead of buying almost $100 worth of clothes for you I should be sending it to my dad. (My mom's dad lives in mexico and he has a tumor in his eye)
Me: (knowing she's only saying it to get me mad) No, you shouldn't. He's old and he's gonna die soon, but I'm your daughter and I'm still young.
Mom: You could die too, then those clothes would go to waste.
Me: But mom!

*sigh* The whole day was like that. She critized me, glared at me, and bossed me around while I tried to bug her right back. However, when she gets out of hand I tend to tell her this ...

Me: I have no mother.
Mom: Oh really? What happened to her?
Me: She stopped being my mom a long time ago so she's dead to me now.
Mom: Well then, I guess you don't have a home either since you don't have a mother.
Me: Ergh, mom. >_>
Mom: ^_^

What really pisses her off is when I say this though ...

Me: Mom, what would you do if I got run over by a bus tomorrow? Would you even care?
Mom: Shut up! Don't talk like that!
Me: You know, it could happen since I don't really look at where I'm going. Like this one time this car almost ran me over --
Mom: For being stupid! That's why you need to graduate high school and get a career!
Me: -blinks- What does that have to do with me getting run over?
Mom: Everything! Now shut up -- my novela's on!
Me: -sulkily- Okay ...

Aw, but I love my mother to death ... Although she can at times get on my nerves.^^

Wooo, I'm gonna go watch some old Ranma episodes now, and bug my mom some more!
