Janime's Forum has been down all day. I hope that stupid hacker didn't get in again and ruin things!
In the meantime I went to the Balto Source forum and looked around a bit. I don't really like it there, though. I feel so out of place. Most people there don't like anime, and I was just in a topic where the person starting it had everything backwards. He thought anime was created mostly for humor while American shows were deep. X__x; Uh HELLO! Very rarely is that the case. It's usually the other way around. I admit, there's some wacky anime shows and some serious cartoons, but usually we get wacky cartoons and serious anime. I dislike most all American cartoons for that reason. I prefer a show that's more deep and that I can really get wrapped up in. I like something that makes me really think about life and people. Only a handful of American shows do that for me at all. It's fine if someone doesn't like anime, but at least they should TRY to get the facts straight. He probably compared one anime with one cartoon and thought that all anime was like the one he'd seen.
I feel out of place in the whole neighborhood, really. There's not really anyone around who's interested in anime. I've always been the odd one out in almost everything, and I accepted that ages ago, but I still wish sometimes that there was someone who lived close to me who likes what I like.
Heh.... Once I remember a girl at church reading over my shoulder as I was writing something down in my notebook for the My Immortal story. It was the part where Ishizu is hurt, and she tells Marik, "If I live, I will live, and if I die . . . I will die," and the girl commented on how dark/morbid that seemed. I can't remember what I said, if I said anything. I probably just shrugged it off. Boy, it's a good thing I wasn't writing Something the Boy Said or The Darkness Within at the time she was watching. XD; **only partially sarcastic here.** Then she really would have been creeped out. At the time, I believe I was thinking, "Yeah, I know it's dark/morbid, but guess what? Some things in life are, and I'm out to write about some of them." Not everything can be happy frolicking rabbits and pretty flowers, after all. Most good forms of entertainment do touch on death and other subjects. Even something sweet and nostalgic like My Neighbor Totoro has the girls worrying if their mother will be alright.
Hmmm. To relax, I'm going to type out some random dialogue that's been floating in my head for a while. I love this. XD Consider it part of that hypothermia scene I posted a while back.

Someone on eBay has been selling a new box set of the first season of Magic Knight Rayearth for $24.99 plus shipping and handling. It's about the size of a two disc set, but it has all five discs of the first season, plus a bonus disc! I bought a set and it came earlier. It's officially made by Anime Works too, so it's not a bootleg. I hope they've made one for Season 2 as well! **is anxious to start watching it.**
Oh yes, and I heard that Mucha Lucha has at last been cancelled after three long seasons. I'm really not sorry at all to see it go. I know there was clever humor in it, but I did not like the animation style at all and The Flea completely ruined any possible hope of me ever liking it. That little creature is so disgusting. o.o I think he also betrayed his friends in a couple of different episodes, too. I didn't really like the other main characters either. Rikochet seemed full of himself a lot and rather idiotic, and Buena Girl was so self-righteous. If people didn't follow The Code of Masked Wrestling to the letter, she got really vicious. I really don't like her and I don't think she's a good role model, even though she is a strong, determined girl. I'm willing to admit that she is. I just don't like her. Rikochet was the only one of the three that I even remotely liked.
I feel better now. XD; **likes to rant.**
