Best First Day?
Today was my first day of school as a Sophomore. I only had 2 months of summer vacation this year (which EVERYONE thinks is BS), but I had a blast on the last month of the vacation. Suprisingly, the first day of school wasn't bad. I usually hate it and wish it'd never come, but this time, I didn't mind at all since it meant seeing a lot of my friends again. The most time I ever spent with any of them over the summer was through playing a couple of games on XBL.
I also got some good first-impression teachers. We all like those who aren't rule-lovers and think more like the students and have fun times, and luckily, 3 out of 7 were those kind. I also got one teacher I'm familiar with from last year, so that helps a bit.
Of course, the first day always has some of the most ridiculous moments in school life.
The first was when I was standing near the office while I carried a bunch of completed paperwork in an envelope to get into the school and get my schedule. Me and my sister are next, and then our vice principal asks us where is our mom. We said home, and he says that you needed a parent to be with you for this part. WHAT?!! ARE WE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STILL?!! WE'RE F***ING HIGH SCHOOLERS!!
Ahem...
Then the second was the one class that you hate because they make you work on the first day. This was expected, but I didn't expect to write a 4-paragraph essay that was due at the end of class and then given 2 assignments afterwards. Language Arts (ELA in my place) used to be a tough-but-enough course, now it's a "you're here, welcome to hell" course.
On a seperate note:
I can't list all the things I did in the last month on the same school blog, so I'll stop here. I might list them on another blog, IDK, I'll probably do it if I'm bored.
Thanks for readin' mah blog.

My Summer So Far
This summer's been the best for me. I get to go camping near a lake with my family for a week, spend a few days in Disneyland, stay with my Grandma (who lives 3 hours away from me) for a week, watch The Dark Knight and witness what a badass the Joker was, watch the finale to the best show I've ever seen, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'm about to attend ID Tech Camp in Stanford, CA, and go on a cruise ship to Mexico before going back to see my friends in high school for my Sophmore year.
The only negatives are bad though; I haven't been in touch with any of you guys, even during the airing of the finale. I hope you guys don't think I've abandoned you guys. I wouldn't do that unless I tell you guys. ![]()
If I could rate the show Avatar, I'd rate it 100/100. It passes every show I've seen and loved, including the ones from my childhood, and showed that even Nickelodeon can have an epic show like Avatar. It also proved that a cartoon and tell such a great and touching story while being realistic in ways (EXAMPLE: kids acting like kids and not like the Terminator) and showing off badass fantasy action mixed with martial arts. Thank you Avatar crew for making my favorite, along with many other fans, show.
Now we test our anti-hiatus Avatar syndrome by surviving a few years for the live-action movies...

Monty Oum (If you love action, you'll love this)
Has anyone heard of him? I think he should be a true and great internet celebrity that EVERYONE should know about (like Smosh from YouTube). He makes CGI videos that're usually epic fight videos from video games we've loved, played, or at least heard of. This includes Halo, Metroid Prime, and Final Fantasy. Here are two videos I found that were made by the great Monty Oum. They're pretty long, but trust me, you'll love these.
Haloid: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gHPUPqd0P9g (6:10)
Dead Fantasy Parts 1 & 2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ryH1TB4gEUY (15:39)
I think he has another, but these two are my favorites.
Haloid shows Master Chief of Halo fight off the Covenant, but a new enemy appears and fights him, but something happens that forces them to work together.
Dead Fantasy shows the girls of Dead or Alive facing the girls of Final Fantasy (I don't know which. I think it was 12 or 13). The fight gets REALLY good near the end.
I hope you guys find out that this guy named Monty Oum is a brilliant video maker. Sure, some of the moves aren't exactly original, but they're still kick-ass.
Tancs fur reedin' mah bl0g!1!

Blog of 4/24/08
Yeah, I don't know what to call this blog, lol. A couple of stuff I'd just like to say.
1. I didn't make a blog about the new and kickass Avatar trailer because I knew people did it before me and stuff. But I am so PSYCHED for this!! I really want to see the flying warships again, the Suki and Ty Lee fight, even crazier Azula, and, of course, the finale of finales! I feel VERY bad for any Avatar fan that'll have to miss this baby.
2. My dad's birthday was yesterday, so now he's 41. Haha, last year, we, my family, were teasing him for turning 4 decades old by saying all the things like "you're a year closer to using a cane" and stuff. This year, however, a simple "happy b-day!" was enough. ![]()
3. I saw Windtalkers earlier today on DVD and plan on watching Alvin & The Chipmunks for the first time after I finish this blog. Windtalkers is a great war/action movie involving things in World War II that I never knew (using Native American language codes against the Japanese). So if you like war movies, this is a must-see. It's not like it came out last year, but hey, I loved it.
4. Man, oh man, an odd twist happened for my FanFics' reviewing on FF.net. Last time, my A:tLA FF was getting all the reviews (it has a total of 91 now) and all the others were hardly getting any hits. Now, I have a Halo FF that's getting OK hits and few reviews while the other and new Avatar FF has fewer hits and fewer reviews, which is odd since my Halo fic only has 4 chapters and my Avatar one has 7.
5. If you love parodies and funny videos by an actual good actor that isn't Smosh or Angry Video Game Nerd (both are awesome, I know), I encourage y'all to check out:
http://www.thatguywiththeglasses.com/
This website has ThatGuyWithTheGlasses as the main guy and he does the ...in 5 seconds movies and The Nostalgia Critic review videos that review the bad movies (like Angry Video Game Nerd with video games). The 5 second videos aren't 5 seconds, but the point is that you get the idea that it sums up the movie (in a way) and most will make you lol. The critic vids review bad movies that usually we enjoyed as kids (if you're between 13-17) such as Space Jam and Pokemon: The First Movie. They prove how bad those movies actually were and makes fun of them. He even sometimes makes fun of good or ok films like Cloverfield recreating the film with his hand-held camera.
Seriously, you won't be disappointed. ![]()
