I'll Never Be Able To Decide On Just ONE College Degree, Will I.... (My Brother and the Bottomless Pit)

     Hello, all.  Not much happened last week, so this should be relatively short.  One thing, though, is that my brother has not been having the best week.  This Sunday my family went to a church picnic.  It was all going well until my brother realized his sweater was gone.  He had left it with some other people's stuff (why, I'll never know) and when they left both their stuff and his sweater disappeared.  A couple days later he realized his glasses were gone too.  Unlike me, he only wears them when he watches TV/movies or we go out somewhere, so they aren't as essential, but our parents are still freaking out.  I wonder if he'll find them...  *checks to see if he found them while she wasn't paying attention*  Nope.  Probably never.  Alrighty then, since I have all this extra space, I think I'll write a list.  A subject came to mind earlier that you might be interested in, but first, an update on MC's and my "Dystopian Fantasy".  I've finished the first page of Chapter 2, and when we reviewed it, we were in awe of just how different our styles are.  This is going to be...interesting.  And as I was considering this, it occurred to me just how many different businesses and stories MC and I have tried to start...  So far, our current book is the only one that's even barely succeeded, but here are some others, and how they went, for your enjoyment...  Keep in mind, a lot of these were years ago.  See you next week.  G-star, signing off.

       Assorted Occupations by Miss Cappuccino and Myself

• Fashion designers (came up with some designs, but never made a real article of clothing)
• Band (found some songs, rehearsed them, then gave up)
• Hair accessory makers (drew a picture; that's it)
• Dog walkers (made flyers but got no business)
• Comic writers (made characters and forgot about it)
• Desk toy/action figure makers (sold some to my family and then forgot about it)
• Film directors/actors (filmed the first couple scenes for one, then forgot about it)
• Music video(ers?) (made some when we were little; they were cute, but they kind of stunk)
• Tons and tons of, of course, lemonade stands (I think you can guess...)
• Journal/Diary makers (now that I think about it, this was mainly me...and I still have some; it went surprisingly well >_>)
• Bloggers/Website Designers.... (I think you can see how that went.  Haha.  She helped me with one blog site, we made another for some recordings, and one more just for the heckofit.  None of them received any views/visits. u.u)

ASSASSINATE! (Heeere we go...)

     Hello, everyone.  Summer's almost over....ha..haaah......-^-  I start on September tenth with an introductory half-day for freshman.  The only things I'm looking forward to, really, about school are 1. the fact that Miss Cappuccino and a church friend will be freshmen with me, and 2. I'll (hopefully) be in the newspaper club.  (Yaaay, journalism.  -v-)  I'm also back from my high school youth group "coast trip".  If you ask me, it was more of a camping trip, though we did visit the beach and dunes a couple times...  We did more over that one weekend than should be physically possible, so I'll only discuss the highlights, which, in my opinion, were the beach and my first ever game of Assassins.  I apologize to those who've played Assassins before and already know the rules, you can just skip over this part...  For those who haven't, it goes like this: everyone pulls a card from a regular deck of cards (but it can be personalized if wished).  The card you draw must be kept secret.  The people who drew Jacks are the assassins; they can go around and killing people by drawing their hands across their throats (like slitting their throats) and, if they wish, go hide them somewhere by putting their hands on the person's shoulder (they have to follow).  Everyone else is a civilian, unable to kill.  They're who the assassins kill.  If someone finds the "body" of someone the assassin(s) killed, they yell "DEAD BODY!!" and everyone, assassins, dead bodies and all gather around it.  The bodies lie in the center around the one that was found and everyone else votes on who they think one of the assassins is depending on what they saw or heard.  The assassins can vote too, though, and sometimes they try to throw the civilians off.  The person they pick is, as I like to call it, "voted off the island".  He admits whether he's a civilian or assassin and goes to hang out with the dead people...I guess they hang him?  Anyway, this goes on until either all the civilians are dead or all the assassins are found.  (Okay, pros, you can start reading again.)  Unfortunately for me, I died before the first vote.... -__-'  I'm slow.  I'm sorry.  And I tripped.... Other than that, though, it was fun.  Eventually us deadies got bored (the civs were SO SLOW!!!) and decided to go freak out the civs by chasing them.  One made a break for it when he saw me while his buddies stood around laughing.  It was funny... -v-  Now for the beach.  I spent more time than I thought I would jumping around in the water, but that may have been a bad-- no, horrible --idea, since I was wearing skinny jeans folded up (they wouldn't dry, and when I tried to roll them back down, they tore at my skin... T^T).  That's pretty much all I have to say about that.  The book (MC's and my "Dystopian Fantasy") is going well.  The first chapter is incredibly long.  And now it's my turn to write one... *sigh*  I'm sorry, this is fun, but I enjoy editing more than writing.  Mainly because I'm a perfectionist and I would spend hours fixing my own writing.  MC and I are taking turns writing chapters, which are from the views of two of the main characters.  She's writing one person, I'm doing the other.  I can't help but wondering, though, if people are going to notice the extreme difference between our writing styles...  Well, I've gone on longer than I should've.  I hate to say this again, but please, comment and share!  I enjoy blogging, but I'll have a lot less time on my hands, especially on Wednesdays, once school starts and I'd like to know for sure that people are actually reading my blog and not just glancing at the page and moving on!  Gonen'nasai for that.... I'll see you next week.  G-star out.

Little Miss Otaku (Two Amateur Authors).

     Hello, all.  I said I would, and I will...  A POST ALL ABOUT MY ANIME OBSESSION!  Well, and other things to...  Before I ramble for twenty minutes about my favorite characters, however, I'll write a recap of what's happened this week.  First, Miss Cappuccino is spontaneously going on vacation to California tomorrow.  We'll still Skype, though, since she has it on her phone.  And we have a reason to!  We have recently began work on what we call a "Dystopian Fantasy".  I won't say much on it because we don't want the idea taken, but I will say it's the best we've made so far.  We've tried many times to write stories, novels, comics, etc... but we always stopped after making a character and a very vague plot.  But I tell ya, this is gonna be it!!!  I'll tell you how it goes.  We'll work on it over Skype while MC's on vacation and then when she's back.  Now for the meat of the post...  For at least two years I've had an obsession with manga, starting with the children's manga Animal Academy by Hakobune Hakusho and going from there to the young adult section eventually.  My favorite manga are probably Aya Kanno's Otomen, CLAMP's Tsubasa, and Maki Minami's Special A.  The art isn't the best ever for the last one, but it's really funny.  For some reason, I try to avoid most of the more popular anime, probably because I hate clichés, and if I become a Sasuke fan then I'll be a walking cliché!  Stupid clichés...  I'm actually a pretty good artist myself and I've drawn a couple of fan-art pictures and I plan to write a manga once my art improves a little more.  I'll post my fanart after I finish each picture, but only if you remember the copyright, okay?  Yeah.  Anyway, there's this thing about good manga/anime where I become obsessive over one character, (usually a guy,) but only for really good ones.  Maybe because the characters are better developed?  Wow, I thought this post would be better than this.  Since I've used up most of my writing skills today making up Dystopian Fantasy, maybe I'll just write a list...  Oh, and I'm going on a high school youth group coast retreat tomorrow, so that's probably what next week's post will be about.  G-star, signing out.  See you next week!

I'm Sorry. Should I Stop Talking Now? (Complaints, Complaints, and More Complaints)

     Hello, all.  It's G-star, blogging from Chloe's house (AKA Miss Cappuccino).  Thank you, MC, for letting me borrow your laptop.  Now, for more things I've changed.  Every Wednesday, immediately after I write my post for the week, something important happens and I need to post again!!  Also, the night before I post I go over what I want to write the next day in  my head, end up staying awake until midnight, and am completely exhausted the next day...  (Do I seem distracted?  I'm sorry. Miss C is watching an anime at the same time, on the same screen, and it's very...interesting?  Sort of.  Alright, I'll try to focus.)  I did that last night.  So I'm tired. -_-  One of my classmates invited me to his birthday party.  We were supposed to swim at his cousin's house for maybe two hours and then go to his house and play kickball, capture the flag, etc., but instead we swam, played badminton, and used a makeshift slip-and-slide at the first house the whole time.  Not that I'm complaining...  Unfortunately, however, I was (again) the only girl.  Well, not really, but the other girl refused to get in the pool. -3-  So I really couldn't play much with the guys in the pool... *sigh*  I went to see the new Percy Jackson movie with MC as well, which is why I'm currently at her house and using her laptop.  She said it was a decent movie, but I didn't notice because I was too busy complaining about how inaccurate the plot was.  It didn't have the fiery dodgeball game, the director changed Annabeth's actor (Which could be a good thing depending, since they got her hair color wrong in the first movie), the battle with Polyphemus kinda sucked, and...and...I NEVER GOT TO SEE PERCY AS A GUINEA PIG!!  *sob sob*  Aaah, weeeeell....  .........  Wow, did it just get cold in here?  *cough cough*  I can't believe it's almost time for school.  My parents have been getting up my brother and I earlier and earlier...  Well, soon enough you will be able to read about my school life instead of random summer events.  Perhaps I should have created this on the first day of school.  But whatever...  I'll stop now.  Gomen'nasai.  This is G-star, signing out.
