Try

I really have to thank 21Emmz12 for posting this eCard, because it put to bed a thing that may have been bugging more than I've been letting myself think.

You see, in my friend group, there's about (this is just an estimation) 15 guys and 3 girls. You'd think with that statistic, all 3 girls would get asked to Prom. The thing is, all the guys who are planning on going have already asked someone else or have stated that they are planning to asksomeone else. Meaning that, most likely, I won't be going to prom.

Surprisingly, this included Ninja. Normally I would've thought that he wouldn't ask anyone on any date, let alone prom, so it really bothered me when he asked someone else entirely, someone he hardly knows, let alone talks to. It really bothered me, until I realized he probably isn't really interested in the girl herself, only in the experience of prom.

I was bold, and kept bugging my guy friends, making it very known that I wanted to be asked to prom. Still, they asked others. It really bugged me. Am I really that undesireable?

But after watching Colbie Caillat's music video for her song "Try", it kind of brought things into perspective. Just because I'm not going doesn't mean I'm not undesireable. I mean, nearly all my friends are guys, after all, I could joke that I have a reverse harem. I can still have fun without being asked to prom. My self-esteem and my self-worth are not dependent on some guy asking me to prom.

Back

Yeah, I'll get to looking through all the stuff I missed. And I know I still need to post an update - I'll most likely do that tomorrow, as well as post other things on here that need posting. Thanks to all you guys for your support! ^^

Edit: I recently also found some hilarious Hetalia fanfiction here and here! You guys just gotta check them out!

Heads Up

Yeah, I know I need to post an update, but I'm a little busy right now. I'm packing for a camping trip. Yeah, I'm going camping, so I wont be on much if at all tonight through to Friday, so if I don't comment on anything or post anything, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, I'm just gone.

Just a Heads Up

Less than a month to enter my challenge, Something Different.

Tagged (Again)!

This time by Judai! ^^

1. Which color do you relate to the most?

Do I relate to? Hmm, my favorite colour is black, but I'd have to say a dark purple - teetering on the edge between calm and introverted (cool colours) and energetic and extroverted (warm colours), adding subtle nuance - not being super prominent, but not being forgotten altogether.

2. What is your favorite thing to watch or read when you’re feeling down?

I don't think there's any particular thing I watch, but I do tend to watch any of my favorite movies (things such as The Great Gatsby, Surf's Up, Coraline, etc.) or an anime I can sit back and enjoy (such as Assassination Classroom or Amnesia: The Animation). And I usually can't bring myself to read when I'm upset.

3. How long have you been a member of theOtaku.com?

About 1 year and 9 months.

4. Is there any members from theO that you’d like to meet in person?

Basically any of my good friends. ^^ (Esp. Crimson-Rose, since she's helped me through a couple of emotionally rough spots)

5. Do you have a personal soundtrack? What I mean is a specific set of songs that seem to sum up your life?

Ohi-Sama (Daily Lives of High School Boys ED)
Beyond the Night Sky (by Suga Shikao)
On Melancholy Hill (by Gorillaz)
The Lightning Strike (by Snow Patrol)
And whatever Jazz band/concert band music I happen to be working on at the time.

6. Last question because I can’t think of anymore. Is there any anime related clothes or outfits that you just have to have?

I usually don't buy anime-related clothes because I'd rather spend it on manga, but I would like almost any babydoll t-shirt referencing any of my favorite anime.

Oh, and cosplay. So much cosplay.

7. Never mind #6 isn't the last question. I decided to add a few more.
This is probably been asked a million times: But what character have you've always wanted to cosplay?

Speaking of cosplay...

I would love to cosplay Colonal Mustang (from Fullmetal Alchemist/Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), Yukio Okumura (from Blue Exorcist) and The Major (from Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate)

8. What is your favorite time of year?

Hmm, I love Christmas-time. It seems to have a sort of magic. ^^ But I also love smack-dab in the middle of spring up through to the beginning of summer, too. That time just seems to have a deep connection to nature and a great sense of anticipation.

9. What is your favorite object in your bedroom?

Uhh... assuming I can't say something like my phone or my tablet (since they're so often out of my bedroom), I'd have to say... uhm... hrmm...

If I could include my entire manga collection as one thing, I'd say that. If not, I'd have to say one of my watercolour paintings. I put too much time into those things to not give them credit.

10. A bit more of a thoughful question, may I ask something personal? Is there a time in your life when you felt alone or extremely happy? Choose which side you'd like to answer, it is completely up to you.

Uhm... I guess I'd have to say last Christmas Dance. Going out with Ninja was extremely wonderful and, even though I may whine about his antics a lot on here, he truly is one of the greatest things to come strolling into my life. It was a time when we were at our best and could focus our attention on each other rather than having the outside doldrums of life take over. It was truly an incredible time. ^^

11. Now this is the real last question. What do you think of theOtaku.com?

I really, really like it. I feel like I have a place online to go to share my excitement of anime with mature people who each have their own experiences and their own walks of life. I love sharing my art on here and getting feedback. I absolutely love this place and I love you guys. I feel like this is the place I've made my home in the wide expanse that is the internet, and I have not regretted it one bit.

And since I already did my own questions/tags, I'm not going to do them again. ^^'
