Obsessed! XD</title><content type='html'>Remember I posted like two months ago about a girl that liked me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and wanted to be my girlfriend and show me all the love she had for me then? Well I can sum it up in a phrase..&lt;br /&gt;. Was good, but she seriously needs a shrink or a psychologist or something... It was long... Yeah... but that pretty much sums it up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all... I still don't get why she wanted to be and go out with me... Nope it's not a self-esteem problem... it's more a thing about ideas and peer pressure... In fact everything about the relationship between she and I is based on it... but while this pressure is actually getting into her, I have no worries about it and I just keep on living my life... It's sad... She's a good girl... But she has to realize what others thinks about her&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh the story was short... We were a couple for a month and a week more or less.. Pretty short for a first relationship... No thinking about regular first-time relationships is a bit on the average... but taking into consideration the conditions it had, it didn't lasted as long as it should have...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a good relationship 'cause we knew more things of each other, went to lots of places and discovered new spots around the neighborhood, shared kisses and watched tons of movies, but in the end it wasn't a good one  'cause she wanted to control every moment we should see each other while she already knew I have to do lots of things or I simply I didn't want to do something and rest a bit&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was completely sincere and honest with her... And that was a the reason that triggered the break up... It may look unbelievable but we broke because I honestly said that she should get a life... Something that my best friend just said to me a while ago is truth... staying in your house, doing nothing and simply staring into nothingness makes you believe and think tons of things... And I guess that's what happened to my ex... She got all moody and suddenly exploded and wrote me an incredibly lame message on XSocialNet (won't tell which one, but many who might have it can guess which one is it) that surprised and pissed me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just tell if it's okay first of all send a message telling that she's not happy that I can't see her as much she wishes and telling me that she doesn't know if I am really taking her seriously and telling me that I prefer to have time for myself or my friends than be with her, secondly sending me a blank message a minute later and in the end, two minutes later after the first message sending me one that although everything she still wants to be with me because she loves me a lot&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my books that's meh... but it's complete mistake considering she's almost 27!!! I couldn't believe a woman her age is sending me such things... it's like I'm fighting with a 15 yo girl! No offense to anyone, but teenage girls are that kind of moody... but a woman her age... it's something I didn't expect.... I might be wrong, but I just couldn't take that and directly told her later that day that I totally disapproved of such  behavior, and broke up... Oh and told her what I considered the best for her... And told her I wasn't the guy she needs... she needs someone who gives her more attention... not like me that loves to be everywhere...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another problem I found on this is the little fact that she told me once that she loved me!! Those three little words are powerful, and we must learn how and when to use them... IMO they're quite strong and heavy words... And I wasn't been fair with her.. She said me I love you... I simply said I like you... and I like her, but it's not fair to like someone while he/she loves you... It's simply unfair... And I tried to love her back... But I just couldn't&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her life, my unfairness and that moody moment were the reasons we said goodbye to each other... We're still friends, but I doubt she's really able to see me again as a friend... she really needs to meet new ones... I'll keep an eye on her and take care of the things she does... just for her well being.... What I got from this experience...? Well How to be with girls... be sincere... but with touch... and love the moment XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a big monologue ne? XD but there had to be an update someday ne? When I get a new girl I'll tell ya XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signs,&lt;br /&gt;Green&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3934723572416833751-7086588422069890788?l=www.staff.oddsquad.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/feeds/7086588422069890788/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2010/01/long-lived-love-obsessed-xd.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/7086588422069890788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/7086588422069890788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2010/01/long-lived-love-obsessed-xd.html' title='Long Lived Love....

Okay, Singapore...Singapore...yes here it is. No. Wait. HK is not in Singapore isn't it. Ummm...errrr... ook...it's in China...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099; font-style: italic;"&gt;Oh dear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CC:&lt;/span&gt; It's +81 xxx xx0 0xx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Me:&lt;/span&gt; so a double zero?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CC:&lt;/span&gt; no, let me say it again  +81 xxx xx0 xx&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099; font-style: italic;"&gt;ok fine, I couldn't remember the exact numbers, but the point is, he obviously failed both english, maths and geography, as well as not being able to quote something properly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And that goes without saying that he gave me the wrong number. I found the right one myself later. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Well to end on a happy note, Goemon was good! It’s a Japanese movie about (basically) Japan’s Robin Hood.

I feel good... but at the same time I feel ashamed of myself... flabbergasted... and... confident.... I know it's a weird mix bit I feel like that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay... Let's see... the background for all this mess... A girl friend of one of my old High School classmate... A girl that I've since long ago... In fact almost the same time I've meet my classmate thou this girl never went to our school... Our meeting? Well it was weird... I don't wanna go on details yet but... Were we destined to be together someday? Well we're together for now... but not on a serious relationship yet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the point is that somehow we share various personality traits, abilities and likes... but... arggghhh I'm too confuzzled to explain it to myself... Well I can... the problem is the difference between now and three years ago... F*****g three years ago!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see.... We ended up having a date three years ago... Yes we did have it... but the problem is that I wasn't that delicate... I was completely rude and cold... I don't know if that was a reflection of my past love life experience, but I was seriously ungentlemanly with her that time.. My problem at that time... I was pushed to get out with her&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now, as I said above, we ended up together again... The conditions were different this time... I'm convinced she was completely drunk... heck she almost fell once XD... but yet... she was pouring all her heart out this time... She was not letting me go... not in a bad clingy way... but in a hopeful way... her... her eyes clearly told me something... I'm devasted... I want to be with you... Don't break my heart... All that sort of things... And I've learned I should not ignore all that mess... Uni has taught me a lot of things... LOTS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what's my problem now? Yes is okay we can be together now... but... why me? I can't understand it... are you serious...? will you play with as you've been doing this last to years with other guys? Why now? YOu want me right? *sigh* I don't know anything about this... but man I said 'oh what the hell... let's give it a ry how it turns out'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But who is guilty? Definitely my girl friend, my HS classmate... I meet this girl because of my classmate... We were set up 'cause she wanted... we have had kisses (not going to tell how many) and a a few adventures to tell all because my classmate pushed us to do it... we met again this last Sat because my classmate made a dinner at her house and invited this girl and so she invited me to the dinner too.... It's all Carolina's, my classmate, fault!

It seems that you can't keep one version of a software for a year without the company making another version that is not compatible with the previous.  Right now I'm worried about my school updating the Maya 3D Program to 2010.  I own 2009 at home but this 2010 version has zero compatibility.  It you bring 2010 files into 2009, it will tell you objects don't exist when it's completely visible on the screen.  It's like a cop pulling you over and telling you the road you're driving on doesn't exist when you can plainly see it.  So now I'll have to pay $200 so that I can continue to work on my projects at home and not be limited to lab hours -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm also having problems with importing objects into Photoshop.  Photoshop CS4 only reads 3D models as .obj files.  When I save in this format, my objects have holes in them.  Now this is easy enough to fix, but when I do fix it it warps my textures -.-  So unless my teacher can give me some good advice on how to fix this, I won't be able to use photoshop for my texturing.  Oh, and I should mention my school also wants to get Photoshop CS5 when it comes out.

And this is by no means a spoiler. (its um false yaoi-fan speculation)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways so far we have a lot of male characters appearing and the main character is male, if this turns out to be romance... its obvious that Faye won't be the candidate (too little screen time), so its Mouke and Zeuste? I for one think Zeuste's gonna be a loyal follower of little Zeuste... kind of how Gokudera is  towards Tsuna (yes i've been watching too much hitman reborn) ... boss complex... not really romantic love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if this suddenly turns out to be shounen ai (i know it won't be yaoi, its looks too clean for that), then I wonder what i'll do... hmm.... i guess i like the little Prince too much to ever feel like dropping MI from my side... (hire female translators and cleaners might be the solution if the guys refuse to work on it... haha)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why did I make this post? Is MI turning out to be shounen ai?&lt;br /&gt;Ans: No. and and no.&lt;br /&gt;Just that one of the sentences in the translation "i didn't mean to use you" ... can also be said in English as "I didn't intend to take advantage of you" without meaning anything else.... but it made me think of strange things.... lol.

Well... Tell me... which could be the link that joins Maths with Theater? Some might reply that maths are everywhere in our life, and well, that's true after all, but believe, at least this time it had nothing to do with numbers.... Just Math as a the reason to tell a tale....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Math telling a tale? No it's not a number language like binary, or that one that the good old Unzen Miyouga (A support character/antagonist from one of the newest series of the WSJ lineup Medaka Box)... And Maths do have a history behind them after all... And that's what I did, tell the tale... Or more than tell the tale, act the tale... Somehow XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see... It was weird... In fact since the first moment I knew we had to do such thing for a MATH-Related class I was baffled? How could someone join Math, in this case Linear Algebra (that deals with matrix, lineal equations and the suchs), with something like a play... Well it's possible, at least this time we were pushed to do it so... And the results were....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny... and undoubtly one of my most thrilling and unprepared acting moments... Thrilling and unprepared 'cause It was fun to hear what should I do and do it in front of people I more or less know and do it with few background elements to support me and do it, act the whole play for... um like... 10 minutes....  I did read the script, but I only had a vague idea, not the whole thing, I didn't had the time to grasp the whole essence of the script, yet...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it wasn't for my past experience it would have been a disaster... Dear experience saved my ass this time... And believe me, not that I'm buffing or being egocentric, but it was one of the best... when it comes to acting and script... others were shallow and uneventful... Only a pair more were good enough to be qualified as plays, and one of them was like a puppet show, only with hands.... For further reference look for COMPAYITO on google XD... In total, there were 7 different plays... One was definitely bad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a great experience... Seeing all your classmates trying to stick to something and do it in front of everyone else... I guess the goals the teacher wanted to obtain were reached... A fun way to see into the past of important mathematicians and have a little peek into their lives and their discoveries....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afterall, you can join Maths with Theater hahahaha.... Oh and those who wonders what's up with my past experience... Should I say it... Well to keep it short, I acted in 3 big school plays as major, yeah major, support character, plus I kept myself as back up for those roles that has more lines... Those three yers, three plays, gave me all my experience... After this... Should I retake acting and enjoy it on a new group at my current school? *sighs*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signs,&lt;br /&gt;Green&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3934723572416833751-75186537070862194?l=www.staff.oddsquad.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/feeds/75186537070862194/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/life-weirdness.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/75186537070862194'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/75186537070862194'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/life-weirdness.html' title='Life Weirdness'/><author><name>rebwaters</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01998377895512544622</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nav6jQYgAP4/Sr5UGQOeHcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Z2M7mnEcwD0/S220/yuko%27s+cool+headinv+short.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934723572416833751.post-1892813013766483022</id><published>2009-10-24T12:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T12:57:21.415-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Internet ¬.¬</title><content type='html'>I Swear I have no luck with the internet!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First it was switching to 21st centuary internet for faster speeds... i get cut down to less than 1/2 a meg...

Well this time the rant will be all about my real life... the life I'm pushed to live in... that might have sound that I'm living a bad life... But It's not...  not as exciting as it could be, but it's still a fun and great life.... Mostly easy.... I'll leave the easy part for a future rant :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passion... What is passion... For me is the Push, the Force that immediately attract you to that something or someone you feel passion... It's a feeling... a powerful emotion... Emotions are always hard to explain, manage and experience them... But mostly a not comprehensible... they're not based on a scientific ground... in my POV if something doesn't have a scientific foundation, then it's hard to explain it and not easy to understand... Other stuff that are in this classification are God, Church's Dogmas, why plus per minus is minus and minus per minus is positive, and plus per plus is plus XD.. You know the drill... XD Things you have to believe becuse they have always been like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Passion, according to the good ol' Webster Dictionary is&lt;span style="font-family: monospace;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The state of the mind when it is powerfully acted upon and&lt;span style="font-family: monospace;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;influenced by something external to itself; the state of&lt;span style="font-family: monospace;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;any particular faculty which, under such conditions, becomes extremely sensitive or uncontrollably excited; any emotion or sentiment (specifically, love or anger) in a state of abnormal or controlling activity; an extreme or inordinate desire; also, the capacity or susceptibility of being so affected; as, to be in a passion; the passions of love, hate, jealously, wrath, ambition, avarice, fear, etc.; a passion for war, or for drink; an orator should have passion as well as rhetorical skill. "A passion fond even to idolatry." --Macaulay. "Her passion is to seek roses." --Lady M. W. Montagu.&lt;span style="font-family: monospace;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; [1913 Webster]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact this meaning is not the only one for Passion, there are two pair more, but this one is that fits the best for what I wanna relate this time :P Just tell me.... how will be the next things if there were not such thing as passion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um... by day... On Oct 4th I was sent to the most recognized Church of my City... Church, not Basilica... Those are different... Well it's name Mexico Cathedral... It's a really old building that has lasted over the years, the Social Revolutions and the test of the Mother Nature... A place that holds a rich history... Lots of stories... From crowning to it's own sinking into the soft ground of the city... It's a historic place Why I was there? Well we were asked to film a bit inside the Church and go further into the Bell's Towers... We paid an expensive sum for such a rough trip to the top of the Towers, but imo they were somehow even for what we saw.... We saw something that it's not usually seen... We were told the story of the towers... and almost of each bell... but definitely what surprised me the most were two facts... the efforts that were done to build such surprising building and the faith people have in something so abstract...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's were Passion comes in this case... Religion hasn't been a big part in my life... My personal life. Obviously the family has a big faith, some are passionate about the Company that a Church is, but I personally dislike that. That's why the efforts and the faith people have on the Church surprise me... The Passion they feel is so big that has built that historic place... that has kept it on through all these years (it's construction as the building is started 1571, four hundred and almost fifty years ago!!) and the people that keep on giving life to it... 'Cause without the believers, the building could be in ruins by now without doubts.... Some people incredibly give all of them to receive in exchange more... but... that never happens... when you're waiting for, as these people that give it all usually do. It's such a blind way to trust a more powerful force... And that can't be, actions must be taken... Well that's something for later... Passiveness versus Action XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then... Passion... Passion for sports... First of all Football... In  Mex, football falls  behind soccer... Soccer is the sport that's is practiced by almost anyone... Any know the rules for soccer.. not that so for Football... Anyway Football has a big fan base compared to basketball or even baseball... not to mention tennis... Unbelievably Football is practiced usually... Even my school has a team... And there are independent teams that clash with the Uni teams... But I shouln't be talking about Uni Football, but about Touch Football :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's said Touch Football is for those who weren't good enough for Universitary Teams, or those who are old and wanna keep on playing with the funny ball... Whatever it is, Touch Football has various leagues expanded all over the country where you can see amazing matches of the such I viewed last Saturday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man what a match... In this case, the team was formed by yound people... Youngsters that love Football but nver had the opportunity to play Football or are simply there to have fun and practice what they like.  One of the formers is my cousin. He's on a time that's formed by his uncle, not mine :P, and plays on a recognized Touch Football League. The match was surprisingly great... It had lots of emotions... Frustration, pain, joy, excitement, hate, power... It was a magnificent match from both sides... It was going to be perfect, if it wasn't for a member of the opposing team that kept on whining for the Decisions of the referees... in the end the match ended 5 to 4, quite a tight mach compared to results of the same day such as 4 to 11, 9 to 3.. etc...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such was the anger, the hate, the PASSION a member of the opposing team had that he actually faced my cousin's whole team and yelled, "who's the best here huh?!" (LOL) and everyone actually replied, "Well everyone" that almost provoked a big fight between the teams... In the end everyone calmed down the guy with words, gave the tip to the League Representative of the bad behavior the guy had and left the place in peace.... there was no blood uselessly spilled this time.. Why all this mhappened? Well because my cousin's team QB was mocked of, so he replied with monkey sounds that replied to the way, they howled like the Spartans on 300 movie, the other team celebrated their touchdowns XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But sometimes things go worse in Football matches... that's for later again&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally we have Soccer... As you may know, One of the last qualifying matches for the 2010 South Africa World Cup occurred last Sat (for me). Soccer moves a lot of people... Tons, lots!!! only in Mexico, the last match in home made one hundred four thousand (104000) people go to the Stadium to watch the National Team win the match, and made at least 10 million within my city stay in their homes or go to a bar or a restaurant and watch the match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the power of Soccer in Mexico. It pulls lot of people to the TV, to the stadium, pull everyone to the National Team and make us dream, make us feel happiness, hope and PASSION for such a game that's simple. But stirs the strings within us&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't explain the Passion felt in Religion and Football above, but the PASSION for Soccer is something I can describe, feel and try to explain easily 'cause I've lived, I live it and I'm living it... It's shameful when the guys inside the Green Rectangle miss a header of a shot... YOu hate when the enemy scores a goal or the Keeper catches the ball that had the way inside into the the Goal... You have such admiration for someone that's a magnificent player but ironically has a horrible personal life (gossips, bad image mostly), you feel such joy when your team scores the goal needed to succeed... It's such a feeling that makes you chicken-skinned.... A feeling where you can feel a million of small needles hit you... a Feeling that makes you feel free of worry, sadness or anger pent up... A feeling that release stress perfectly well... I haven't felt such passion for anything else besides Soccer... Manga is close by... But Soccer only awakes such feelings within me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could keep  on ranting about PASSION... but... I've said to much for now.. I can leave today happy and see what you think about this later... I'd love to see what you think... Not only you OSS people, but those who read us... COMMENT Please! :P Next time, I'll talk about passion for someone... Not for something... like I've just done... Feel free, be happy and enjoy life :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signs,&lt;br /&gt;Green&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3934723572416833751-4771372851751496283?l=www.staff.oddsquad.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/feeds/4771372851751496283/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/passion-that-stirs-heart-of-masses.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/4771372851751496283'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/4771372851751496283'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/passion-that-stirs-heart-of-masses.html' title='Passion that stirs the Heart of the Masses (Extra long Rant)'/><author><name>rebwaters</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01998377895512544622</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nav6jQYgAP4/Sr5UGQOeHcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Z2M7mnEcwD0/S220/yuko%27s+cool+headinv+short.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934723572416833751.post-641547174365292067</id><published>2009-10-08T20:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T21:15:07.946-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='school'/><title type='text'>Evil Drivers &gt;.&lt;</title><content type='html'>I'm probably the only person who uses the internet that has been confused by google.  Hence me not posting anything till now -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a college student in America.  And everyday I go to school, I risk my life driving in the parking lot.  It is ridiculous how horrible everyone drives.  I think they forgot to check my driving skills when I signed up for this college because it seems to be required that you can't drive at all.  I hate people who turn around corners going at an absurdly high speed not checking if anyone is there.  I was almost hit yesterday cause I stopped for students walking to the school and some idiot behind me was driving too fast and barely had time to hit their breaks.  Or the person who was afraid I was going to pull into this empty spot (when I wasn't -.-) and used their own car as a shield (or weapon) to keep me from getting the spot.  Then they got to watch me as I left the parking lot to get lunch -.-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really can't understand why people my age don't realize that they CAN DIE in their car doing this crap!  Like somehow everyone will part their way for them so they can drive where and however they want to.  The state makes driving laws so that we don't kill each other!  Why is it so hard to obey these laws or have common sense behind the wheel?  It drives me insane &gt;.&lt;  But at least I take refuge in that I'm, in one aspect, smarter than most of the students in my school XD&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3934723572416833751-641547174365292067?l=www.staff.oddsquad.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/feeds/641547174365292067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/evil-drivers.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/641547174365292067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/641547174365292067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/evil-drivers.html' title='Evil Drivers &gt;.&lt;'/><author><name>Oishii</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11805080476777244502</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qBPoc60CMjw/Ss60oPemcTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/lvi7RDcvljk/S220/358Avi.png'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934723572416833751.post-3442250990684643975</id><published>2009-10-08T07:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T07:43:15.043-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Otaku is back?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Hey people, I thought I'd make my first post here. Not really a rant of any sorts, but I was sort of bored while waiting for my anime to download...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Anyway as some people might know, I'm a major Otaku! And I mean a major otaku, I pretty much watch atleast 70% of all new animes that come out every season and atleast pick up 2 new manga series every week, or atleast I try to watch/read what I think is good. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So to my surprise a couple of weeks..... I couldn't stand watching anime, the though of watching it repulsed me and just bored me. Which was weird, Might I say it I was shocked and not in a good way. Haha, it might have been a good thing; but I felt soo out of it without my anime... So well I fell behind on spring, summer, and might have missed out on the fall season animes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;But today I sat my butt down and I started watching some of the better animes I really enjoyed before and guess what, I could watch them without being repulsed, haha doesn't sound all that great or anything; but I had a fun time catching up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;My favorite anime of the spring has definitely got to be Cross Game, I loved the manga and the anime rendition did not let me down, and I bet a lot of you are going what about East of Eden or Hatsukoi Limited, well those were great, too. They easily get 2nd and 3rd, but Cross Game had everything I wanted in an anime. The story is a sports anime, but unlike the ones we see now (Prince of Tennis, Eyeshield 21) It really does not involve super powers, or weird auras. I would call it more of a romance/slice of life than a sport anime, but it involves Baseball; and in a good way. Well I think I should stop talking about this, before I start myself an anime blog. However I strongly strongly suggest giving it atleast a try, I promise it'll get you hooked on episode one. I admit the art lacks when compared to a lot of the anime now, but the good music, and heart warming story will have you watching the next episode!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway Fall Season!!~ Currently I've only seen a couple, still waiting for some of my anticipated titles to come out; but currently my TOP anime would have to be Seitokai no Ichizon  and it's hands down the funniest thing I've seen in the longest time. The art was normal, nothing special about it; it reminded me of a lot of past animes I've seen. However as soon as it started I knew this anime wasn't going to be a normal romance anime and boy was I right. The main character's goal is not to choose which character he's going to go out with, but to create a harem with all 4 girls in the Student Council. Yes, he announces to all the girls he's going to create a harem with them, and it's hilarious watching each characters reaction. There is a lot of comedy in this, and a lot of spoofing; Only true otakus will truly understand how funny this it. Seitokai no Ichizon does a lot of spoofing just like Gintama and Hayate no Gotoku, which you will see maybe 1 minute into the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway time to talk about some real life items. Well I'm just as disappointed as all of the fans when I found out that 1/2 Prince was not coming out in this month's issue of Dragon Monthly! But atleast I got my dosage of Magic Insulator which did not have as much action this month, but was quite funny too. I'll be scanning and uploading MI as soon as I get time on the weekend. Sorry all, I'm still a student so I don't have time to do it on weekdays atleast not in senior year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather has finally been changing in Taiwan, it's quite cool now; however it's been raining almost everyday which has me down. I dislike the rain, it just is sooo wet and in a bad way. I like playing in the pool like every other person, but when I get wet from the rain; it just feels terrible and the umbrella does not help when there's wind blowing the rain at an angle, so you end up wet anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people might know I've been busy with cheerleading lately, it was a church event. Well it's finally over and I miss it quite a lot. Cheerleading was really fun, and it really is a team event. The performance was great, there were no mistakes and we successfully hyped the crowd up!! However I really miss going to practice now, I had so much fun there. Making friends and just learning new moves. Cheerleading is definitely not as lame and as easy as most people think it is. It takes a lot of practice and concentration, the smiling part is probably the hardest, and if you want to know how that feels like. Go up to your parents and try to smile for 2 minutes straight!!&lt;br /&gt;Harder than you thought eh? When I get to college, I'm definitely going to try out for cheerleading again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to stop myself before I make this post way too long, because there's so many things I want to tell everyone, but I don't want to tire everyone out with reading this; so I'll end on this note. I'll post some more later...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3934723572416833751-3442250990684643975?l=www.staff.oddsquad.org' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/feeds/3442250990684643975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/otaku-is-back.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/3442250990684643975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3934723572416833751/posts/default/3442250990684643975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.staff.oddsquad.org/2009/10/otaku-is-back.html' title='Otaku is back?'/><author><name>Kenji310</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15761107270840541165</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934723572416833751.post-5811601842315125951</id><published>2009-10-04T07:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-04T10:24:00.280-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ugh... no more holidays</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i30.tinypic.com/b4un44.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 51px; height: 51px;" src="http://i30.tinypic.com/b4un44.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Yeees, i just spent a whole month holiday and feel unsatisfied! need mhoere!
