This is Nonsense, But Video Games Come Up the Most (Smores are Delicious).

     Hello, all.  G-star here, with not much to talk about...  Well, firstly, here's a shoutout (no, I don't know what that is) to my friend Bianca (AKA Smore) at justmehighschool.blogspot.com!  I haven't checked it out yet (she won't let me open the page at school -3-) but you should!  I bet it's great!  Other than that, I don't know what to say.  Well, in that unofficial club I mentioned a few posts ago, we've finally decided what we're doing.  We've decided to make a video game; specifically, a dating sim.  We had two different versions; one where there's one protagonist and one main character, designed to make you like her.  The other was one customizable protagonist and a bunch of different main characters, each one with a different path should you choose them.  I think the latter would be too difficult, as it involves programming more paths and choices (not to mention characters), while the former would be simple and fun.  I made a survey and I'll edit this post and insert the link as soon as I can access it.  (Which I can't from the school computers.)  Anyway, so far my idea has been outvoted 8 to 2, but I think it has a better chance than the more complicated one.  Once the survey is up, please vote!  It's only one question; I'm sure you can find the time.  Please, blow their overconfidence in our collective abilities out of the water.
     Speaking of video games, my little brother bought a paintball Wii game.  (I didn't even know they had those.)  As he was taking the tutorial he could shoot the guide character in the face without it saying anything.  That's one resilient NPC.  Yes, I know, that was completely pointless, not to mention irrelevant.
     I'll see if I can talk about something more interesting.  Lessee... that book MC and I were working on maybe three months ago is finally being continued.  FINALLY.  I had written the second chapter and was waiting for her to continue the story, because I couldn't do anything more without her character doing something, but she took forever getting to Google Drive.  But now chapter three is on its way to being completed, so everything's okay!  And now I'm out of things to talk about again.
     UURRRGH.  This is like the problem I had with another blog website I attempted, trythistopic.weebly.com.  It was a complete and utter fail, mostly because I couldn't advertise it anywhere.  The biggest website I had presence on had a nasty habit of changing any link you posted to connect to said big website, so you couldn't advertise other websites.  The problem was, even worse than the fact I had no visitors, was that I needed comments to run the site.  People were supposed to comment with ideas about what the next entry would be on, and I would comply with my opinions.  Needless to say, it died after a week, though it is still active.  Comment on the latest post and I'll see if I can bring it back to life.
     This has to be the worst blog entry I've EVER written.  Normally, the night before I come up with a topic and outline for the next day's post but I fell asleep fairly quickly last night, and it doesn't help that hardly anything happened this week.  Seriously, all the things I just talked about were the most interesting happenings this week.  That seriously sucked.  In apology I'll do an update on my most recent reads.  Until Saturday, G-star out.  Gonen'nasai.

Recent Manga/Book/TV Update
Ouran Host Club (Bisco Hatori)- I actually watched the entire anime two months ago, but I'll count this as a recent read because I only just started reading the manga version, starting with volume 15 (I think?).  It's just as amazing as the anime, though the art is very different.  I've already read some of her series Millenium Snow, and that was definitely amazing, but this is even better.  Volume 16 contained a short story about when Haruhi's mother and father met...is it messed up that I'm now hopelessly obsessed now over Haruhi's father (pre-crossdress) and that I relate to her mother about how amazingly adorable he is?  ......
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.- I just love Fitz and Simmons.  LOVE LOVE LOVE XXX OOO {3{3.  Fitz is the best, of course, but the sibling-like duo's relationship is just so fun to watch!  The most recent episode was all about them, and I was sobbing like a small child when her goldfish dies when Simmons was about to die.  Ayaw........

Click Update, Got t3h Power (Stupid Parasites/BC Commentary)!

     Hello, all.  G-star here, frustrated and itchy.  Frustrated because I've been sitting outside the school library for half an hour, waiting for someone to unlock it so I could check out a book and start this week's entry.  (The same thing happened last week; Wednesdays are late starts so I come early to watch anime and start blogging, but it always ends up opening at a stupid late time.  Even now, I only have five minutes to type.)  Itchy because, as is every fall here, this is the season of mosquitoes, and those parasitic little vampires seem to love the taste of my blood.  I have bites all over the place, on my arms, my face, my back (I don't even), and they take weeks to go away.  It's worse when I forget about them, because then I scratch at them absently, remember they're there, but by then it's too late; they itch even more.  I'm sorry, I just spent a good paragraph complaining about trivial things.  Some interesting (good interesting) things have happened this past week.  Firstly, (and this happened a couple weeks ago; it's just that it's only now relevant,) I recently saw a poster hanging on the cork strip serving as the bulletin board that goes down one of the hallways.  (Not that seeing a poster there is weird, but...)  It said "Please don't cut yourself today.  I love you. -- Jesus".  I thought that that was really sweet and a testament to the Christian belief that someone would put that up.  I'm mentioning this now because, yesterday, I saw a girl with a bright red t-shirt that said "Keep Calm, Jesus Loves You".  These are brave people to express their love for God in a public high school.
     I wonder, have your missed (or noticed, for that matter) the business class running commentary?  Yeah, I know, I stopped after the first one, but that's because my seat was moved.  It wasn't even official; one day, a boy was sitting in my seat and told me that I moved across the aisle.  It was pretty obvious that he was just sitting there so he could talk with his friend (who sat next to me), but I didn't complain.  In fact, my life is pretty blissful now.  No more T-dog trying to copy my homework, no more Ginger insulting me with dirty words, just pure, unlimited focus...which I use, of course, to write my blog entries.  (Maybe I should use it to focus on the business curriculum instead?)
     Once again, I've gone off on a tangent (and an irrelevant one, at that).  I'm sorry.  At this point, I'm just trying to make this post as long as possible before I start to complain about the fact that no one but MC has posted on the forums I spent a week working on.  Oops.  Anyway, at least check them out, please!!!  (I feel this will not help any, as all my requests for comments were completely ignored as well. T-T)
     One thing I wanted to start this week is a regular update on the manga I'm reading.  It would be monthly, as that's about the same frequency as my visits to the library (I wish they were more often), and I would only talk about manga I've begun to read recently.  If I talked about my old favorites, I would never stop.  The first one will be in this post; I'll write them like lists and, once I accumulate enough, will make a separate page to organize them on.  (Speaking of which, I think I have an idea for how to organize the list page.  I'll try it as soon as I'm done with this.)  Other than that, until Saturday, this is G-star, signing out.

Recent Manga Update:
Loveless (Yun Koga)- I've been curious about this one for a while, and on my last visit to the local library, I checked out the volumes 1-2 omnibus and have been reading a chapter per night.  (It's incredibly difficult to keep from reading more, it's that good.)  The only thing is, about two chapters in, its well, "yaoi-ness" was revealed.  Since it has a teen rating, I seriously doubted that it would have yaoi content despite the cover illustration (which wasn't disgusting, just one guy character touching the others' face).  It appears I was wrong.  Also, the characters live in a world where, apparently, everyone has cat/dog ears and a tail...at least, until they lose their virginity, in which case the ears...fall off?  I'm not sure.  It hasn't shown that yet, and I hope it never will.  It has sparse cussing, not major words, but overall it has interesting characters and a good plot.  Even so, I'm glad I didn't buy it when I saw it at Barnes and Noble, or I may have gotten in trouble if my mother had seen it.  The writing and art is great, and one minor character in particular, Kio, has already grown on me. ^-^
Fairy Tail (Hiro Mashima)- I'll count this as a recent read, since I'm only 4 volumes in.  I've always liked fantasy stories, manga or otherwise, and this series does the genre pride.  I admit, the main character's outfit could be a bit more modest (heck, PLEASE MAKE IT MORE MODEST, HIRO-SAN!!) and there's one character who will randomly take off his shirt (and to think he's my favorite character. T-T  NO!  That's not the reason!), but there's good humor, great plots, extremely sparse cussing (and little words, too), and interesting characters.  I'm currently waiting with bated breath to check out volume 5.
Very! Very! Sweet (Jisang Shin and Geo)- A Korean manga (can I even call it manga?) about...well, I'm still trying to figure it out.  I'm on volume...3?  4?  I've forgotten, that's how little it matters in my life.  So far, I think it's about a boy from Japan who's forced to move to Korea, a Korean girl who's extremely frugal, her sister, the boy who rooms with them, and...their cats?  The characters cuss too often for a teen-rated comic, the characters all look the same (especially if it zooms in on their faces), and the plot throws me off.  And yet...I'm still reading it.  Why?  Well, I don't know.  Maybe that question will be answered if I read another volume....
