!!!

UWAAAH, UWAAH UWAH!! Mery, merry, MERRY CHRSITMAS EVERYBO~DY! XD

Oh, how I wish I could see you all! Did everyone have a good Christmas? Did you spend it with friends/family? XD

Or a crazy dog that had to pee every 90 min? -.-

Anyway, anyway!! I'm so happy I got some really, REALLY great stuff this year! :D

Although, although. My present to mom made her CRY!!! *0* -.-'

She says they were happy tears though. :D

Did everyone get what they wanted?! I got clothes and jewelry and an iTunes card and a game and a movie and a oil lamp. it didn't have a genie though. *_* But, it's really pretty. And mom got me a coloring book of Japanese kimono!!! And, and "Santa" took pity on me this year, even though he skipped me for three years in a row (!) and gave me a present! Two in fact. Glass candle holders with cherry blossom designs!!! I was like this -> *O* then I was like this -> ',p (I died)

I played my new game and ate candy and wore jewelry and COMFY CLOTHES! FTW! No jeans or nice shirts.

Well, I gotta go. Timed and all w/ parent controls!

Merry Christmas!

It's ALIIIIII- Nope, it's dead

Yes, I don't know how to work our new scanner. I can't upload pictures to DeviatArt and I HAD SOME REALLY GOOD ONES TOO! Stupid scanner. Stupid computer. *sniff* I'll figure it out eventually. YOU CAN'T STOP ME FOREVER! I will scan images and I will get people to look at my pictures (which can be found here: sachukia.deviantart.com/ by the way)! And that's that.

--------------

Yesterday was the last day of school before vacation. I was so happy. Almost hysterical really. Quoth my friend, "Rowen! I've never seen you this excited before!" Yes, I said "HI" to everyone and bounced and smiled and acted like a bunny rabbit on ____. It was fun. And I am SO happy to have a full two weeks away from the kids at my school. I swear they are going to drive me crazy!

--------------

I bought a new game today. I know what you're thinking, "Rowen! I'm shocked how could you even think of playing video games! You're a book worm and stuck in the 80s! How could you betray me like this?!"

Well, I like adventure video games. All three games I have are only rated T and are story/adventure games and lots of fun. Just because I play for about 30 minutes a day doesn't mean I've forsaken books or the Beatles (which I asked my mother for her CD of to put on my iPod; if you haven't seen her comment about that on her Facebook you should check it out). Anyway, this new game is called Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. It is in Japanese (naturally) and has pretty good animation. You play Seto a boy who is 15 when his caretaker dies peacefully of old age. It is his caretaker's wish that he travel to the "red tower" which is the Tokyo Tower. By the way, this is all happening basically after the end of the world. The buildings are destroyed and you get attacked by "malicious thought entities" i.e. vengeful ghosts. You find people along the way to help you and travel to the red tower with you. So far it's a lot of fun and I look forward to playing more. Seto's positively adorable too!

I hope everyone's having a good weekend!

Yo Yo Yiggidy Yo

I have no idea how to spell that title, all I know is that a character says it in JUNO. (It's in the trailer).

So, my cousin (who is the best ever) asked me why I haven't put anything on my blog and now that I know he reads it I'm like, oh, I really should put up a new post. So here it is. Enjoy!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I'm listening to Nightcore right now. Ah, how I love it. I recently bought some music. Although I bought the clean version of one of the songs. I don't know how I managed to do that. No it makes a weird (but mercifully quiet) sound twice. It's noticeable so it's noticeably annoying. (Smile for redundancy!) Oh, now a Vocaloid song is playing. (I'm listening to all my favorites on YouTube). I really, really love Vocaloid. Len and Miku are my favorite. I like all of them though. (Nobody knows what I'm talking about do they?) *Gets shot*

School has been good. All A's. My US History teacher's wife just had a baby so we're all very happy for him. I just turned in one project for my Creative Thinking class and have another one due on Tuesday. Also on Tuesday some very important people are coming to the school and I was chosen by the 8th grade team to help represent out school. That means the "important people" will be talking to me and three other 8th graders. *sigh* Sometimes I really wish humans didn't value lies quite so much. I will have to be very diplomatic in this which means no lying and no straight truth at the same time. *sigh* Well, I've got all weekend and Monday to think. That's another thing.

ONLY ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL WINTER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I just stole everyones exclamation points). Can you tell I'm excited?

Yep. And the snow here is so deep and frozen I had to help mom unfreeze her car yesterday to drive me to school. Oh yeah, BTW yesterday we had a two hour delay. I took that time as an opportunity to finish my Algebra homework. (I'm still in 8th grade if anyone was suddenly confused as to why I had both Algebra and a US History class at the same time).

We have decorations up for Christmas, but no lights. Mom and I both are confuzzeled by them. We have lots of pine and mom even bought a foot-and-a-half-tall tree. It's cute. She got me one of those leafy Christmas plants too. Someone put glitter on it, but it lived through the process so I'm fine with it.

Today is Saturday by the way. Mom has to proofread my posts still so this wasn't uploaded until later.

In Muramasa The Demon Blade (my favorite game EVER) there are two levels. Muso and Shura. I thought Muso was easy and Shura was normal in which case "normal" meant "really freaking hard." I was wrong. Muso is normal and Shura really does translate to "really freaking hard!" The bosses are so hard to beat on Shura (which explains it being the hard level). And I watched the opening all the way through today and realized just how epic it is.

I might be uploading pictures to DeviantArt soon.

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

~Ren

Don't Even Say The Word "Food"

I am still so stuffed. Dad took me to a Japanese restaurant in the Schwienfurt mall today. We've had our eye on it for a while and I really wanted to try it and today we went (Mom stayed home). Anyway, I LOVED IT!!! I found out many things such as:

• I really like seaweed. Most of my classmates say it's bad, but I think it tastes good.
• Wasabi is not for me right now. (Taste = alright. Flames = not good)
• There is a dish with sticky rice in an oval shape with a piece of fish on top. I like the pink fish, but not the white fish.
• I want a rice cooker.
• If I get a bowl of rice, I can only eat about three other dishes.

We also got me some better pencils! Real pencils for drawing. There are two stores in the mall that are great for drawing supplies! I have to ask the school art teacher for information. Right now at my house I have the second cheapest hobby. Heidi has the cheapest because her hobby is a cross between being wild and chewing rawhide bones.

Anywayzes, this day was (and is) totally awesome! I'm so happy I'm sketching cute Halloween/October pictures. Maybe I'll upload the drawings to deviantArt if they come out good enough. I think I want to draw more mutant creatures though. They're so much fun!

~Ren

BTW I'm most like Kotomi Ichinose from CLANNAD. That's what the past three quizzes have said and I think I agree. This has been another USELESS FACT.

I Can Draw!

So, I have two good pictures to cancel out my first two horrible pictures. They are so horrible we shall not speak of them. Ever. However, you can enjoy my two latest pictures! This is my account at deviantArt where I upload most of the pictures I draw:

http://sachukia.deviantart.com/

So now you can go see my pictures or just ignore it and go on with your lives. Whatever you want.

Ich bleibe nicht bei der Sache!

Hail family members! My German is becoming so good I wrote the title in German. (Try to translate it. I dare you).

Say, would you like to get to know me better? In one of my classes we had to answer these questions and I would like to share my responses with you. Okay, here we go:

1. I would like to visit: Japan, Stonehenge, every other country in the world.
2. I would like to interview someone about: living in Russia.
3. I would like to find some books, magazines, or movies about: my favorite animals.
4. I would like to learn to: be a better writer.
5. I would like to write a letter to these people/places/businesses: my grandmother and my best friends, in invisible ink.
6. I would like to become an expert in/on: apples.
7. I would like to find out about a career in: teaching.
8. I would like to make/do/create/experiment with: Hot Wheels and fireworks. At the same time.
9. Some problems in this world that really bother me are: people.
10. I would like to find a way to: grow wings and cure asthma.
11. I have traveled to: Germany, Italy, around the USA.
12. My favorite books are about: different topics, but they are all character driven stories.
13. I have joined these clubs: NJHS, Golden Knights, Math Counts, Odyssey of the Mind.
14. I have taken, or would like to take, these classes: Have Taken: German, Language Arts, Reading, History classes, P.E., Science, Math classes, Art, Creative Thinking Would Like to Take: Japanese, Language Arts, History classes, Math classes, Science, German

There you are. 14 things you may or may not have known about me. Also, I read on a College Sophomore level. Have a good day everybody!

~Ren

Come along, Dorothy. You don't want any of *those* apples.

Imagine, if you can, for a moment: A 13 year old girl about 5' 2" and an apple tree. Now imagine the girl taking a branch and shaking it like her parents did to the other apple trees. Imagine the green apples falling down - and one hitting her right on the cheek bone. Now I have to tell everybody I went to Oz and the tree was a very good shot.

So, yeah. Stuff has happened. I got out of P.E. YAY! I don't have to take it this year. I'm taking Creative Thinking instead.

My favorite video game is called Muramasa The Demon Blade. It is so much fun! You get to kill ninjas, spirit warriors, dragons, etc. In one part of Momohime's story you get to go to Hell and kill a ton of oni (monsters, basically). All the graphics are in a traditional Japanese art style and all the dialogue is in Japanese with English subtitles. I love is soooooo much.

Anyway, I've beaten both parts (Momohime and Kisuke) on the easy level (multiple times). Now I'm playing on the "normal" level. Shura is the word for the normal level. Only I think the translators got it wrong, that or "normal" for Japanese video games means "really freaking hard"! I had to go to easy to beat one of the bosses. He's the part two boss so he's pretty simple, but on shura I kept dying! After the fifth time I was like, "Screw it. I'm going to easy for him/it." (It's a wheel with the head of a demon that collects dead women's souls).

My other video game Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World is really cool if you ignore that it was originally Japanese and the translation is [insert bad word of choice]. Yeah, but it is awesome! Tons of fun to play and the story is really interesting, especially if you're familiar with the first game Tales of Symphonia. It really makes the story more interesting.

Well, assuming you haven't left this post already, I'll stop boring you and say, "Of course, some people do go both ways."

~Ren

Oh Look, Bunt Cake.

So yeah. My first week of school was good. Good, of course, being a relative term. Not that we have terms at my school. We have quarters and semesters. I got most of the classes I thought I would. Most being, again, a relative term. I got my core classes and German 2. If I didn't get German 2 the counselor was going to have a problem. Me. Ah, but I am in German 2 so nobody got hurt. I didn't get Chorus or Creative Thinking. I'm fine with not getting Chorus, but I was really hoping I'd get Creative Thinking. I got Business Enterprise, which looks fun even if the teacher loves Cornell Notes. Let me just let you know that I think Cornell notes are so STUPID! If the middle school and high school teachers think you can take Cornell notes in college, they are so wrong!! I didn't have to do them in the states, but you have to do them here.

*huff*

Also, I got into Algebra! I knew I would be in it, but I was still happy when I saw it on my schedule.

The students that go to my middle school did not grow up during the summer. Sure, some of them got a few inches taller, but if anything their maturity grew down. Let me ask you something. If a girl teases a boy or touches his arm or talks to him a lot or hangs out with him a lot at recess or makes a point to include him in conversations, does this mean boy and girl are going out?

Answer: Maybe

Answer in my case: NO

Just because said boy and I went out before does not mean I can no longer care about him or treat him with affection. Yeesh, I am so sick of going to school with ignorant mustard plants! I wonder if it's this bad in the States.

So that's my rant. Did anyone notice that in my last post I signed of with Rowen instead of Ren? I fixed it, but I was just wondering if anyone noticed since it's been up for a week. My typing is so much better. I'm faster and more accurate. Thank you Yearbook Production last year. Oh, yeah, that reminds me, I didn't get put in any computer classes for the first quarter. I'm really happy about this, though I'd trade P.E for a computer class if I could.

In NJHS we are being forced to run for some office whether we want to or not. Since my typing is better I'm going to run for secretary. I hope I don't get chosen though. It's all I can do to show up at the meetings. They are so BORING. I'm really good at paying attention, not saying anything, and not falling asleep at the meetings. Two of my friends are considering dropping out of NJHS, which they would get kicked out anyway for not running for anything. It's really silly too, getting kicked out or dropping out because you have to turn over everything you got in NJHS and our sponsor at this school will erase you from the record so it's like you were never in it. That makes it harder to get into NHS, which you get put into automatically if you go to high school already in NJHS.

I guess I'll stop here and spare my mother who proofreads every single one of my posts. I hope you all had a great weekend.

~Ren

Waaah! Everybody Cram in that Last Beach Visit!!

Today, for me at least, is the last day of Summer!! Let's have a quick recap:

1. We went to the Tuscany region of Italy.
2. We went to see two castles in Füssen.
3. We saw a concentration camp.
4. I spent lots of time with one of my friends. She was the only one who kept coming over and we talked and walked around a lot.
5. I drew, wrote, and read. Lots and lots of reading this summer (as usual).
6. I ate, ice-cream is included in this category.
7. I made really good movies for YouTube and an awesome collab with my best friend.
8. I e-mailed my best friend.
9. I listened to music and bought music and sang.
10. I read manga, bought manga, and watched anime.

So, that was my Summer. How was yours?

I'll be in 8th grade tomorrow. Wow. I'll be at the top and the 6th and 7th graders will look up to us and say, "You're so tall!" Well, they'll say that to most of us.

I think classes will be pretty fun. I know some of the classes I'll be in and the rest I will find out tomorrow. Everyone going back to school *cough one person cough cough* I hope you enjoy your school year. Everyone else, enjoy the last, I don't know, month of Summer so Fall will truly come. I love the smell of Fall. The smells, sounds, and looks of Fall are wonderful, don't you think?

Good bye for now everyone! ~Ren

Wish my school was as fun as theirs is. ^ (Horitsuba Gakuen!)

Kanashii desu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*lots of tears* I actually did tear up at this horrible horrible news. One Manga.com is going. It's taking down all of its manga and by next week - *bursts into tears* IT'LL ALL BE GONE! GONE! *more crying*

You may be thinking, "That's it? Really? Overreaction much?" However, for me this is the equivalent of THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!

*Grows mushrooms in a corner*

FINE, whatever. Leave me alone. *grows more mushrooms*

This is the message that greats you now:

"There is an end to everything, to good things as well."

It pains me to announce that this is the last week of manga reading on One Manga (!!). Manga publishers have recently changed their stance on manga scanlations and made it clear that they no longer approve of it. We have decided to abide by their wishes, and remove all manga content (regardless of licensing status) from the site. The removal of content will happen gradually (so you can at least finish some of the outstanding reading you have), but we expect all content to be gone by early next week (RIP OM July 2010).

So what next? We're not really sure at this point, but we have some ideas we would like to try out. Until then, the One Manga forums will remain active and we encourage all of you to continue using them. OMF has developed into a great community and it would be a shame to see that disappear.

You can also show us some love in this moment of sadness by 'liking' our brand new Facebook page. It would be nice to see just how many of you came to enjoy our 'better than peanut butter and jelly' invention.

Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, on behalf of the One Manga team, I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support over the years. Through the ups and downs you have stuck with us, and that is what kept us going.

As a certain Porky was fond of saying... That's all folks!

Time for me to go lay down and let this all sink in.

Two Things That Start with I

Wow. It's been a long time since my last post. About 26 days. There wasn't much to say and I had to wait for mom to finish her post so I could say: LOOK AT HER BLOG FOR LOTS OF INFO ON THE TRIP.

There, now I don't have to give you tons of information. I would like to say, I enjoyed Italy very much. I never want to drive there, but it was a nice vacation. The ice cream really is to die for. If there is a heaven it's filled with Gelato. Frutti di Bosco is my favorite flavor. The beach was nice. I found sea shells and fish. The fish were thin, silvery, and when they stayed in one place by the sand they looked like ridges in the sand until you're about two feet away and they suddenly swim off! I found some really good birthday presents for my best friend and a souvenir for my other best friend. If we go again I'd like to go not in summer. It was hot. The hotel was pretty cool though. Oh, also, I want to eat a fresh tiramisu. It looks good even if it is mostly coffee.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Watashi wa kanashii desu!

Or maybe annoyed is a better word, yeah, I'm annoyed. Due to the fact that the Bamberg High School is shutting down the Schweinfurt Middle School is being turned into the Schweinfurt High School. Only all the high schoolers go to it, not just the ones is Schweinfurt. Basically, Schwienfurt High School will become the high school. This wouldn't bother me except for two things. First, this transition takes place next year, my ninth grade high school freshman year. Second, the high schoolers are made up of bullies and idiots. I am not joking. All the time you here stories of kids getting beat up at school on the bus. Not just beat up, but no one really talks about it very much because it's always happening. And get this, they don't help each other. Apparently your big chance for survival is if you take some form of defense training or have big brother(s). So yeah, also, it is official. My mother is home schooling me for my freshman year of high school. I'm not completely sure exactly what emotion I'm feeling, but I'll tell you this - I am not happy. Although, i might be even more unhappy if I'm looking over my shoulder every day in school 'cause I wouldn't ride the bus afternoon or morning ( I already don't ride it in the afternoon no matter what the weather). Well, that's my news. Now enjoy this picture which makes me laugh:

Grrr. Grrr. Grrr. ROAR!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stupid Hulu won't stream in Germany. So some of the shows (such as One Piece!) that you can watch on the OtakuUSA website I can't watch! It's like the world is conspiring to prevent my summer otaku-ness from shining through! Summer is a wonderful time for us otaku who still have school. A time in which we can watch anime and read manga without worrying about other responsibilities. However, apparently for me this dream will not be realized. At least some shows are on YouTube. Like X. *fangirl moment*- Kamui-chan!!! *fangirl moment over* Oh well, we're still going to Italy next week.

I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to see stuff and shop! I'm getting my friend's birthday present in Italy because she said she'd like that and the thing she just e-mailed me about is . . . $400! I had to sadly tell her I don't have that kind of money. Even though the thing she wants, I wanted it too. But I definitely don't have $800. *passes out from the thought of ever having that kind of money* I hope everyone is enjoying their summer to the fullest!☀ ^.^

Although it's raining a lot here, but I don't mind. ☂☺ (I ♥ the 'Special characters' feature on Apple computers ★ ✪ ✩!!)

♥♡Ren♡♥

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

IT'S SUMMER! SCHOOL IS OUT! NO MORE HOMEWORK! NO MORE WORRY! JUST SUNSHINE AND SMILES AND ITALY AND FUN FUN FUN! Whooooooot!

(I'm pretty happy about this can't cha tell?)

Okay Gir

*happy squeel*

iTunes card bought on the 24th - $15

What I bought - $15.98

Having the first two seasons of Invader Zim on my iPod - Priceless

That is IT.

Alright that's it! I want to know who ticked of Mother Nature! It is now raining and cold. Grrrrr. Well, who was it? If anybody knows, don't worry, just tell me. Nothing bad will happen to the culprit *much*. *Waiting for -like- ever.* Oh, whatever. Just turn into somer already! Huff.

Although, on a better note. THANK YOU SO MUCH to those people who sent me b-day presents already! And thank you to those who might later.

Also, mom said I can get a deviantART account! I just have to wait until my birthday because you have to be 13 at youngest. Yay!

Okay, well, that's all the news. Bye.

LOL Cats I Can Has Cheezeburger is SO SMART!

I've been telling people for years. DON'T MOCK THE PIGEON.

Twilight was the worst series of books I have ever had the misfortune of reading.


So, so true. *tear* As proved by some of my classmates.

I'm sorry, but there were no LOL's about maturity levels going down as age goes up in the pre-teen/teen years.

My school makes me bitter.

~Ren

Grrr. Argh.

So, first when it's sunny the temperature is really cold. Now, when it's raining the temperature is nice . . . BUT IT'S RAINING! WHY!? Why Nature? Why would you do this to me?

Me: Rain, leaveth me be.

Rain: You'll be lonely if I go away.

Me: No I won't!

Rain: Yes you will.

Me: No! I won't!

Rain: Well, we're staying anyway. We've got a contract to complete.

Me: Grrr.

I'm certain my BF doesn't feel that way because I don't show my evilness around him.

I Am the HAPPIEST PERSON ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!!

I finally, finally got my hair cut! I love, love, love, love, love it! It is so awesome (pictures eventually).

I went to the Golden Knights meet at school after getting it cut and. . .

1. person thought I was a new student
2. people lost their jaws to the floor
3. people were speechless (completely couldn't say anything)
4. to five people gave me a double take
5. to fifteen people don't even know who I am in the first place.

So, yeah. I'll post/send pic(s).

Why Can't I Come Up with Good Blog Titles Like Fang?

Okay, last night I was reading Maximum Ride Fang. (I finished Max). So, it's really late, but I'm not tired. Just having my heart yanked every which way by this book and of course I love it (the book, not heart wrenching). Anyway, I read the ending and I'm suddenly crying my heart out. So at 12:06 in the a.m. I'm bawling and trying to keep it quiet so Mom doesn't wake up and what should happen, you ask. Well, something must have startled Heidi because she barks which makes me freeze with terror. I didn't startle her, I was definitely too quiet, but Mom is not an early a.m person so I sat there for about a minute - completely frozen. I then came to my senses, so I got up, turned off my light, got into my pajamas, and went to bed. Please realize this post is extremely courageous to type seeing as my mother reads all of my posts before they get put up.

I love the Maximum Ride series. Also, I'm not tired this morning. I'm oddly refreshed. Maybe staying up really late every so often is good for your health. Oh, did you know, they don't believe in sleepovers are over here? None of the kids know what they are.

Well, I have to go hitch a ride to the airport to go save my life.

Bye. XD ~Ren

It's Called Spring. Hello!

I mean, come on! It's spring! Why can I see my breath at 7 a.m.? I hope summer weather gets here soon.

Anyway, I'm sure you're all aware of the volcanic ash situation. Some of my teachers that were gone just got back today. Oh, you should hear the stories they tell. Hitchhiking, sneaking onto trains, it's a completely real fantastic adventure! Well, to listen to anyway, it wasn't so fantastic for them. XD

Mom just helped pay for two new books for me. The (currently) last two books in the Maximum Ride series. Max and Fang. I'm so grateful! And happyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I have a new desktop (that's all the news I have):

I Am Beginning to Suspect No One Reads This

Yep, it's true, but whatever. I must keep up hope. However, nothing will get me down today! I am so HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! (I am entitled to a ton of exclamation points today so there.)

Anyway, yeah. I am totally the happiest person on Earth!! Right now that is.

Enough about that though. I have a new desktop:

Isn't it purty? I think it's really sweet.

~Ren

There Is No Going Back

I would say "there's no going back now" but the "now" was a long while ago. I am assuming you all know about my complete obsession with Japan. You know, the one where I love it and plan to live there? Yeah, that one. Well, now that you've been memory jogged (or informed) let us continue.

Yesterday for dinner I made rice omlettes and they were delicious! They are popular among children in Japan. Despite the fact that they are an omlette they are a dinner course and very, very filling. I had one and was full. I think Mom had 1/2 to 1 and was full. There are leftovers which I will eat today. If you want the recipe leave a comment, they're supper easy to make and they don't take too long, about 35 minutes. I cooked them by myself, Mom just supervised and told me how to dice a carrot, etc (the kitchen essentials). If you make them here's a tip, do all of the prep work first and then heat up your skillet because you don't have time after that.

Here is a picture © Mom and her Camera

Starfire has Sonic Sneezes!

At the present time I am obsessed with Teen Titans. The animated cartoon (aren't most cartoons animated?). I used to love it, but then I was unable to access it on the TV so I stopped. I found it again and now I'm watching the episodes on YouTube. Ahh, YouTube, how I love it (when it is not evil).

Today some German students came to our school and since I'm in the German class I got one assigned to me. I had to take her to all of my classes except A1 and A5. Her name was Julia and she was really cool.

My friend challenged me to make a video with absolutely no pictures and guess what . . . I WON! I didn't even know it was a contest, I thought it was just a challenge because I use pictures in all of my non-Heidi videos. I was so surprised. The video is on my YouTube account.

Okay, that's all. Have a good day. ^.^

A Walk to Remember

For those of you who don't know about A Walk to Remember, you should probably skip this post. For those of you that do- read on.

I just finished watching the movie A Walk to Remember and I LOVED IT!!! It was totally awesome! It made me cry in the end, though. They totally led on that Jamie was going to die, like, right then. Thankfully she didn't (until the very end, but her list was done by then and I STILL cried some more). Yes, I get emotionally attached to good characters in good stories. This has been proven many times. Best romance movie I've ever seen!

I got mom to rent it off of iTunes. I had to pay for it, though I don't mind at all. It expires at 6 tomorrow night. I might try and convince mom to let me watch it again. It was the best movie I've seen this year, it even beats AVATAR!

That's what I wanted to say. ~Ren (whose eyes are dry right now, thank you very much.)

Hmm - A... Title? Since When?

I didn't mention this in my last post, but we've been here for a year now. Since the 6th (last post). Just thought I'd mention that. I've been writing for one whole year, since the 7th. I've gotten older since my first post.

Anyway, I'm actually here because there has been much talk about the next Maximum Ride book. I love the series Maximum Ride- it's tied with Harry Potter for first place. I have the first three books, but not : Maximum Ride The Final Warning, Maximum Ride Max, and Maximum Ride Fang. Grrrrrrrrr, I don't have them.

Well, that's it for that. I have a new desktop:

Isn't it so pretty? I love it. Well, shouldn't keep you too long.

~Ren

Pocky!!!!!!

I love it- SOOOOOO MUCH!!! Have you ever had it? If you haven't you should. It is delicious!

Have I told you about my Wii game Muramasa? I think I mentioned already that I have it and like it. I would like to change that. I LOVE IT!!! It is the best thing EVER! It's super fun and some parts are really funny.

I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but- I have a new iPod. It's green- very green. It's a 5th generation iPod Nano 16 gig. I have a bunch of movies on it. It's wonderful.

I'm getting better at German. Speaking, writing, etc. I think it's a good thing. However, I know I will pass the class with 100%. This year and next year because I need those credits for high school. See? I prepare early. I plan ahead.

Well, bye-bye. ~Ren

Do You Want to Date My Avatar?

(Do to colds and not-many-reminders this post is indeed very late. We are sorry. Gomenasai.)

Yesterday Dad took me to see the movie AVATAR and... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! I absolutely loved it! The visual effects company is the same one that did Lord of the Rings. The movie was a typical storyline old as time, but still, you should watch it just to watch it! If you want to mute it fine (but you'd miss some funny and important dialogue) still just watch it. A lot of people say that there's this whole "political message about Earth" but it's really easy to skip over it.

Well, I just wanted to say that. Hope you had a good weekend.

I Am Totally Made of Awesome!

Not really, but it's catchy.

It's FRIDAY!!!!!! I was supposed to work for Golden Knights hours at the Elementary School, but it got cancelled because . . . IT'S GONNA BE A BLIZZARD!!! Maybe, or just severe weather, but one of the two.

Also, I might get my mom or dad to take me to see AVATAR this weekend!

Have a good weekend everyone!

359 To Go

For the first time in 2010 I accidentally wrote 2009 on a piece of paper at school. *shudder gasp* So, yeah. I seem to be getting less creative in these blog posts. This is bad because I know my Tante and Oma read these. (That's German, I can speak some more now.) I like my German class. I'm learning more and more.

I still want to learn Japanese. Writing and language and history and customs and laws and religion. I'm going to move there when I grow up. I'm going to be a teacher for DODDSE in Japan. I absolutely LOVE Japan. I'm only taking the German class for extra help for high school because in this school if you take a foreign language class they count as your credits for high school.

Anyway good-bye.

I am a Late Person...

... My Christmas/New Year/Winter viddy. My original got disabled. Ne... maybe next year I try again.

Happy New Year!!

Happy 2010!!! How many of you stayed up until midnight? I did. The teenagers set off fireworks on Askren- where it's not allowed! They created enough smoke to set off all the smoke alarms on Askren. (I think, but they didn't. We're smart enough to keep our windows shut.)

After Christmas we went and got a Wii. I am so happy. We got Rock Band and Wii Fit Plus. Later Dad got a golf game and they got me Muramasa The Demon Blade. I LOVE it! It is awesome!

Also, stupid YouTube disabled my Christmas movie. Grrrr.
