-Insert a witty title- Yep I still got nothing

This isn’t a news site no matter how much you I wanted it to be.  I never wanted it to be actually, I had no real intentions in mind to be honest lulz.  I dump my anime/misc. thoughts upon this blog for all of my ghosts to enjoy suffer.  Anyways, this blog er. . . Man, where was I going with this.  Well I read someone else’s blog today, a LOT of it too. .  It was really good. . . They had a lot of pictures, they live in Japan, and they love Pokemon, I’m hooked.  I was inspired.  Doesn’t mean my blog will suddenly become good but I’ll work on it ;w;

Oh yeah and lookit:

I actually got these two a couple weeks ago (Around the 4th of July) but I just now got around to showing them off.  Just some Jaaks plushies, which I DO collect providing they’re fairly well made at least.  The Happiny is extremely nice, good proportions, nice material, etc.  Mesprit, it’s alright, love the soft material.  Thing I really love about Mesprit is that it seems to be a pretty rare find, I haven’t seen the guy or Azelf and Uxie online for sale anywhere!  I’d like to get the Jaaks Azelf and Uxie but. . . Yeah I couldn’t find them. . . I’m pretty satisfied with my Mesprit anyways.

They apparentally released another plush series though, I only know it includes Ralts (Want), Regigigas (Want), Duskull, Croagunk, Tentacool, and. . . Something else, maybe some Burmy. . . . And a new figure series which includes Shaymin Land Form(WANT)!  Well I won’t be buying these (Except maybe Regigigas because I have a feeling it’s going to be hard to find) until after Ikasucon when I don’t feel guilty about spending money and such.  Which btw, I’m still excited about.

Wellll I just found a big post with lot’s of pictures of the Pokemon Center in Tokyo!  That completely distracts me from blog writing so I’ll end this here.  I want to go to one of those Pokemon Centers so bad, they have SO MUCH STUFF.  SO MUCH GIZAMIMI PICHU STUFF.  IWANTALLOFIT.  Dangit.

Rain Rain Rainnn

Ah, this is another filler blog. . . Because. . . I can I guess.  Rain Rain RAIN!   Angela Aki will never stop being amazing, I can’t wait until she does some new music for me to get obssesed with yay!  I heard she was working on some song for some show but I have no real way of getting updates, I can’t understand her website very well /sob.

Okay anyways, I’m going to hit the Suncoast store tonight, the past few times it was all Death Note/Bleach/Naruto stupid crap like that but I have high hopes!  Perhaps they will have a Pokemon plushie that I will like or something!  C’mon, Suncoast don’t let me downnn!  They always have good anime DVD’s but they’re usually so expensive meh. . . Speaking of anime DVD’s, when the heck is Blood+ Part 2 going to come out!?  It would be soooo awesome if they would just release that already.  And while they’re at it, the fourth Blood+ DVD would be super duper seeing as I collect those and they were supposed to have released it a long time ago. . . Jerks.  The good news is that that freaky somewhat yaoi story with Haji is going to be released in America sometime soon, as I found out in the back of English Adagio.  While it’s my least favorite Blood+ manga, I still want it, it’s Blood+, nuff said.  Plus I have the Japanese version of it. . . Or is it Chinese. . . . Don’t remember and too lazy too look.

Speaking of Blood+, I found a ton of great icons at this community in LiveJournal and if you’re a fan of Blood+ I suggest checking this out http://community.livejournal.com/blood_plus/  I actually gave up after searching 400+ posts and I will return to it later, trust me, I will not let this go half unchecked!  But for now, this hero takes a rest. 

Ikasucon is coming up in just like. . . HOLY CRAP LIKE A WEEK OR TWO!  This is so soon, but I’m so excited, I hope they have lot’s of good stuff to buy.  Don’t worry dear ghosties, I’ll take lot’s of pictures for you to enjoy.  Well, let me correct, my mother who I am forcibly dragging along to this event for the first day because I am that mean will take lot’s of pictures for you to enjoy.  Oh and believe it or not, I think I might try the cosplay contest, I’m doing a gijinka Shaymin sky form and I THINK it qualifies. . . My amazing friend Ducky is making this amazing headband for me which I will show you when it’s finished, I saw the WIP and it looks greaaaat, so lemmie do some free advertisin’, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6381741 , you can order one of her awesome hats there and I recommend that you do so!

Alright, that’s all folks, er, ghosts. . .

DESIGN FTW!  Seriously, I fail so hard at Pokemon games simply because I build teams based on design, I just loveee cute and unique Pokemon!

I. . . Don’t really care about that, I don’t do contests much anymore XD;

29. There are many Pokémon fan clubs on deviantART. Which ones do you prefer the most? The least? (To see an incomplete list of Pokémon clubs, head to the ~Pokemon-Directory.)
I don’t join clubs anymore XD;  I saw this one for plushies though, that was pretty cool I guess

30. Quick! What is your most random thought (that’s clean) of a Pokémon doing something that humans do?
Stupid question, not worthy of a stupid answer >o>

And that’s all folks. . . Much love, Cuddles <3

Long Time, No-. . . ‘Kay Well Actually It’s Gonna Be Even Longer

Hello my ghostlings, how are you all?  Hope your summer is super special and stuff.  I keep forgetting to blog, nothing to really blog about, my updates are severly inconsistent but whatever.  If real, living people read this, I might actually be concerned.  I haven’t really watched any new anime outside of the OVA for Dogs which was pretty kewl.  I recommend it but the first one was kinda boring ‘cuz it was about that old guy who’s name I will never remember. 

So anyhow, I’m not sure why I’m even updating now other than to say hey I’m still alive and something may happen here someday!  I definitely won’t be posting any blogs for the rest of this week, rest assured, I will be out camping with no internet.  I’m trying to finish up Max so I can say I’ve read all of Maximum Ride (Dunno if I mentioned that in the last post but just in case, yes I bought it).  Speaking of that series, Yen Plus (Yen+), the last chapter of MR was pretty awesome, the artist’s style is getting sooo good!  I wish it could come out more often so we could see it sooner.  Yen+ is probably the best manga magazine I’ve ever seen/had/subscribed too and I seriously recommend it by the way.  It’s kind of expensive but well worth it. 

Okay well I think that’s all I got.  I’m starting piano lessons today and I’m hoping to do well, of course I know it’s gonna take hard work and lot’s of it but as of right now I’m pretty sure I’ll like it.  I’ve tried some on my own and I liked it.  The teacher told me to get some songs on to a CD that I wanted to learn so I did.  Mostly Angela Aki of course because she is oh-so-amazing.  Cannot wait to be able to play, wish me luck, ghosts!
