Japan
First I want to start off with Japan. I wanted to write about this earlier, but you know the same song and dance of I never have the time. Anyways, as most people know by now, an 8.9 earthquake hit Japan and followed up immediately with a 13 foot tsunami that virtually wiped out many cities including the city of Sendai. This is also where a nuclear power plant was stationed and as a result the after affect have caused many problems. The whole word is watching this situation as nuclear radioactive power is being unleashed in the whole world. No body knows how much and the reports that we do get is hard to distinguish from truths and lies. Because of how I feel about Japan I was also watching this closely, but now it's even gotten tiring for me. I'll learn about this news, but it's a bit depressing to watch the same stories again and again. I'll just be happy when their will be more peace at mind about this situation. Though, I guess for a while my plan for going to Japan will be at a halt. What a pity too. I was really looking forward to it. But I guess I'll go with my second choice depending on the situation in about a year. France anyone?
Spring Break/ Trip to the Lake
During Spring Break I pretty much had nothing to do. No where to go really. I did get a few offers to go out of the state to soemthing exciting and new, but of course that would mean I needed money and my choices of who I was going with weren't all that great either. Still, I have to say that my break went pretty well. It was very relaxing to say the least. But we need get to do some things. My mom and I ended up going to the lake and taking some pictures. Check them out!
On another note, as conceded and useless as this might sound, I'm possibly looking into modeling. I'm actually the right height and weight for it, though I'm still debating on whether I have the talent or even the GUTS to do it. This probably won't be a career for me, but it's still something I possibly want to try out. I always have to remind myself - if you don't try, you'll never know and that means you've failed before you've even started. Though in the back of my mind I'm thinking I could save myself the embarrassment in the first place. Though this is still something to ponder over as summer approaches.
School and Friends
Well, schools going pretty good now. I'm confident about all my classes. Not FAILING any this time. Still can't believe I have to retake Cal. But this time it'll be in the summer, but I'm also spending my time and money on this. Maybe something good will come from this? At least I can practice my Japanese and maybe even my French a bit more. I'm still not sure about what classes I'm going to take next year. Heck! I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep this major. I'm thinking about returning to Computer Science, though then again... math. =.= Or should I just change to something completely different? I don't know. But I'll have a bit of time to decide I guess.
This semester I've met a lot of people and became friends with many of them. Not that I was completely lacking, but more people in my circle was appreciated. Most of them are Chinese, because I meet them through my conversational partner. I talk with her every Mon, Wed, and Fri in the cafeteria and usually sit with her friends. Though they've become mine too. I've had quite of few people leave on me though. Some on purpose. Some not. And I've almost left some of my friends for different reasons. I asked for help and I got it. And that makes me really grateful for that and forever thankful. I couldn't have done it by myself.
Code Geass
This is something that I just wanted to add. I was feeling nostalgic and ran across the anime Code Geass once again. Of course I'm currently watching several dramas at the moment and a couple of animes, but I decided to start this once again, having full intentions of giving up on it and discarding really soon. I ended up watching the WHOLE series. Both Code Geass and Code Geass R2. It's just so interesting! I have to rank this up with my favorite animes. Speaking of that I need to make a list. The tops would have to include: Ruoroni Kenshin and Samurai X, Code Geass & R2, Death Note, Ouran High School Host Club, Tsubasa Chronicles, Junjo Romantica, Prince of Tennis, and Full Metal Alchemist. Honorable mention would be the Black Butler and Inuyasha. You know Inuyasha was one of the first anime that I saw along with FMA. As for manga the top for me of course would be Antique Bakery. Though I have to say the anime could have been a bit better.. Lol.
Still, I wanted to talk through the ending of Code Geass. There are many speculations on whether he was alive or dead and if that was him at the end of the series that C.C. was talking to. Sorry, if you haven't noticed there are going to be some spoilers so close your eyes until this is done. Ks? ;P
Now after reading both sides of the argument, I've come to the conclusion that Lelouch is alive and is as hot as ever. The sacrifice he made was a sad one, but in a way it atoned for his sins. Or at least helped it out a little. I don't believe that he planned to be the center of everyone's hatred in the beginning. That wasn't his plan. If things had worked out with Euphimia then the series would have stopped right there. And he was plenty ready to die after the first Fliaja and learning that not only was his sister "dead", but his secret had been revealed also. No. I believe that after Rolo's death that he made his plan that took the cake and everything that he'd done so far was just something that molded it. At this point I think he had all intentions of dieing, but as time went on the intention somewhat shifted. People say that he got the code so he's now immortal. But where would he have gotten this code? When he rejected his father's idea! At that point where he asked that stream of consciousness to keep time going you could clearly see his geass had evolved and both eyes then contained the geass. You see this in a similar situation with both Charles vi Britannia and Mao. Though in Mao's case the cause of his double eyed geass was that his power grew out of control. Charles and Lelouch's geass both grew to enormous power as well, but the only different is that they were able to control it still. In that moment that Charles disappeared, Lelouch gained the code and was granted immortality. C.C. even said at the end of the series that he would bare a heavy burden for his sins. This is a burden that she has experienced as well, as she wanted the ability to die. Instead of dieing, Lelouch now has to live on for eternity, though this couldn't have turned out better. He wants to atone for his sins. He took the place of Euphy's hate and the hate from the Friaya. He himself became the symbol yet leaving the name Zero as still a symbol of good. He was both evil and good that coexist as one. Everything was not as it seemed. He lived a lie even until the very end. So what's the moral of this story? Lie, it will get you far places and might even save the world. Lol. Just kidding, but it does make you think about that gray area in between good and bad deeds.
Epic Writing Center Campus Wide Capture the Flag
Watching Code Geass made me think of a great idea! The writing center at my college always is doing something different. And since I may be hiered next year I could be a part of the start of this. It first started with the idea to make a conversation club. I was like "Yeah! Okay!" but then.. what would I exactlly do to get people to come back? But then I was thinking about fun games we could play and capture the flag came in mind. We played it once when I was in Goveners School, but it was much bigger. But then I got to thinkin' what if it was with everyone. A campus wide capture the flag. An EPIC event! We could be like real milatary and everything. The idea just grew since then. Check it!
We could have 4 teams of 4 different colors. So you know the reds, the blues, the greens, and the yellows, or something like that. They all could have a king or queen to be by the flags and give the final commands and come up with the strategies. The ruler must have at least 2 guards by their side. These are the royal guards take control when the leader is absent for meetings. There would also be Commanders and luteintes. The commanders, and the first lutenit would have walkie-talkies to give out the orders. The second lutients would be the ones that actually go around and get everyone into place. If a person gets 'hit' then they have to be out for a full 2 minutes. As in they can't move and if possible just like down. A person can also get captured, but that would take 3 people to move then to the designated jail. Of course there would be spies for each team and treaties could be made. The team must have all 4 flags to be absolute ruler and win the game. The neutral place would be inside the writing center where there is a truce. This is also a place where you can conduct diplomatic meetings. There's things left undone like what will be the weapons. But I'll figure that out. xP
Possible New Popsicle Video on YouTube
I may possibly be putting out a new video pretty soon. I haven't decided if I'm going to sing yet. I made "I'll Love You Until it Snows on a Summer's Day" by Popsicle into English lyrics that actually rhyme. This isn't just an English translation. But I'm debating on singing and playing it on guitar since I know the cords for it too. So we'll see.
Power of Love Opinion
Speaking of DGNA they're debuting in Japan pretty soon. They have a new song out, Love Power which they recently did an MV for. In my opinion it was really cute, but just not my style. I think that Popsicle was a better song but it's nice to see all 5 of them again. Here's the vid:
StillNotDavid
Finally, I wanted to add this. David recently posted something on his tumblr and I was like "oh!" this is some good stuff, so I just wanted to share this since I'm almost 19 years old myself.

Anyways, that's all for now! Maybe I should have more big info dumps like this. But it's late now, going to bed pretty soon. じゃ おやしゅみなさい！！
