I think I did this last year in Soc.... but for the life of me, I can't remember what I was. XP

Wowza. I don't update this thing for like... a million and three months, and when I finally return, I'm not actually going to say anything that holds any importance. Well, to you.

So. I put up a oneshot... two days ago. Just got my second review today, and I forced it out of my brother. XP That's what he gets for not beta-ing. I think I might just rather the review for MaxxMar stuff anyway, that way I am guaranteed a response. A lot of people just ignore it, much to my dismay. It's RIGHT there in the show, seriously.

It's probably cursed or something, being from V Force - the most neglected season of the series, regardless of it being my fave. People seem frustrated with the repetitive plot line (because the constant tournaments of the other two are soooooooo original), with the islands and the Saint Shields and the cyber and rock bit beasts.

V Force is what brought me into the show. I remember walking into my living room, lying down on the couch and trying to figure out what the heck YTV was playing, only to discover Beyblade had been given a new style. That, and I was trying to figure out why some lady was hiding behind her desk as Tyson screamed at some chick in front of a room full of kids. Yeah.... I didn't even notice MaxxMar, regardless of the obvious hints, for about a year when episode 87 was finally played.

I think MaxxMariam is my OTP, anyway. I'll tolerate KaixHilary if it brings me to them.

Which is what brings me to what I want from Christmas. XP No really, it does. That didn't sound like a good segway, but I guarantee you I've been planning this. ^__^ I think one of the nicest gifts in the world is if my brother would be so kind and sit down with me for a total of three episodes of Beyblade (none of which have a whole lot of Kai in it XD) V Force: 64, 87 and 88 accordingly. All MaxxMar episodes.

I just don't have anyone to share the pairing with, and it would be great to get someone else's opinion on them.

That's really all I want for Christmas. XD

I got my report card earlier this week, my marks were as followed:

Accounting: 87%
Sociology: 93%
Math (Data Management): 82%

Average this Semester: 87.3
Average for the whole Year: 90.3

My marks stayed relatively the same from mid-term. Soc. didn't even waver at all, and I don't really know how I did on tests and stuff for the second half of the class anyway... he never gave it back. XP But yeah, I got a sheet telling me all of my grades throughout highschool... and my average for that is....

87% ^__^

Oh, and remember that award (I'm pretty sure I mentioned...) that I was working so hard for? Well when I picked up my report card they had it in a folder and handed it to me, while others were mostly just laying out in grade piles. So long story short, I opened it up and found a certificate for being an Ontario Scholar.... XD Whoo!

Why they didn't announce them on Graduation, I don't know.

I beat the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass today. Rather great game, a sweet ending... although I would rather have some closure on the whole JolenexLinebeck thing, it was just given a rather simple polishing off near the end. Enough to make you go oh, and wonder some more.

Where the heck are all those ship parts? There's about... 60, at the very least, and I have about... all of... 12 or something. I do not own a complete set at all. So, when I go back to fool around... I shall be searching for them.

Lost once against the 3rd stage of the final boss. Silly me, fluffy pink things are able to destroy ships. And then I was destroyed like... 3 times by the 4th and final stage - and the thing that made me angry was that I had to watch the cut scene every single time. It was probably the hardest boss in the game (well, obviously) and it wasn't even that bad... the whole mess was that I had like no hearts (till I gave up and went to an island to buy potions) and it was all close combat, grinding swords together and all.

Very nice LinkxTetra though. And I've absolutely adored them since WW.

I think I might play that game next, actually. Or maybe OoT. I haven't decided. Leaving Twilight Princess till the very end though, I haven't actually played it yet. I'm not even sure if Shawn has killed all the available slots for files on that, actually.

But yeah... a little sad it's over. Probably won't ever get a sequel. I get like that though, I think that's why sometimes I don't finish games, I love them so much, I hate it when they're over. That's why in OoT I always restart at the Shadow Temple. XP

LinebeckxJolene for teh Win.

Female Pirates always rule in the Legend of Zelda series. Seriously. And Jolene is right up there with Tetra, although I've almost had it with her blasting my ship with torpedoes so she can try to kill me. Well, Linebeck. But he's always hiding in a box when she's around.

Can't imagine why.

Great game though, I'm glad I picked it up again.

Wind Waker is probably my all time favourite Zelda game, right beside Ocarina of Time. So... always lovely to get a sequel. XP I personally love the cartoonish art style, it rather suits the game if you ask me - and it makes the characters absolutely adorable.

Post the five most embarrassing songs you have in your collection. Then tag five people to do the same (Although I don't tag, do it if you wish. I'm just doing this 'cause I found it randomly):

1. Beat of My Heart by Hilary Duff - once upon a time, I loved this song. I can't quite understand why anymore though, it's rather repetitive and I tend to skip over it if it comes... beating along my playlists.

2. I Got Nerve by Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus - I actually like a handful of songs by her, but it does happen to be one of the reasons why I hide the 'what am I listening to' feature on msn. The last thing I need to do is explain why I'm listening to those kinds of songs to people.... Because it's all to blame on the MaxMar amv's I find online. >.<

3. Run Around and Here We Go from Digimon the Motion Picture - Um... what's important is that I like them still. XP

4. Wannabe by the Spice Girls - Weirdly, when it was appropriate for me to like this group... I actually loathed them. Yet, now that I'm 18, I find that I adore a lot of their catchy hits from the past. Heh.

5. The Very First Pokemon Theme Song - I wanna be the very best like no one ever was.... dun dun dun, to catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide... dun, dun, dun! Each Pokemon to understand the power that's inside. Pokemon! ... Alright that's as far as I'll go... 'cause in the chorus they start overlapping each other

Had a day of dental excitement yesterday.

First of all, my front four teeth in my mouth got bonding. And it feels really weird, 'cause I'm so used to how my teeth used to be. Unfortunately, the work cost about $800... and now I have like... $400 left over for my wisdom teeth to be done. And as you know, that pretty much just covers the stuff that makes you fall asleep (and that I can't spell XP).

Wisdom teeth are being removed August 28th, because I sure as heck wasn't getting them pulled on July 22ed and there was no in between date. I just hope nothing goes wrong during that time.

But knowing me, I'll be worrying until then.

Yay.

Guess who graduated...? XP

For about 3 hours I was in a gym with... I'd say roughly over a thousand people in a heavy robe that had a flower attached that decided to stab my neck every time I moved it. Plus, everyone's chairs were roped together, and as the guy I sat beside expressed, we're seriously not gonna steal them... just let us have some air.

The biggest let down of the night, the award I worked my butt off for for the last four years to earn was not being given out. Why? I don't know. All I know is that I qualified for it, because my top six marks this year were over the amount of 480 all together... so I should've got it. So... I'm rather disappointed about that.

I did win a single award nonetheless, for my Computers class last semester. Ironically, it was one of my lowest grades this year. I literally spent my class time reading the news.

Ooooh. And we got Rock Band. <3

Drums are definitely my favourite. I'm on Medium currently, and am stuck on a song by The Outcasts. Reaaaally long and a huge segment near the 65 to 88% line are the notes I can't seem to get (I know this span, 'cause that's when I fail). Regardless, I'm impressed with myself - not that it's a huge feat - because we've had it for less than a week.

Guitar could've been better though. Strumming is bothering me. >.<

But yeah... my brother apparently does meme's now. o.O Weiiiiird.

Told you I would buy that CD when it came out. My Worst Nightmare = Best Song.

Kid day was alright. I just thought I'd mention that, since I have a tendency to mention stuff and never bring them up again. Evan was really talkative. The day ended with me asking the question, "Really?" a billion times and high fives. He had a bunch of Pokemon cards he was worried that some girl would steal; I didn't even know kids still liked them. I still have all of mine - a bunch of lovely shineys. XP

Anyway, I'm in the midst of exams whereas everyone else I know is already finished.

3 hour Math exam I didn't get to finish. Which is fine because it was a question on the Normal Distribution, and to be frank, I didn't get that section of the text book. I am taking the class again next year, hopefully I do better.

I'm currently studying for Accounting. Here's hoping my grade goes up, I want a decent average.

Rock Band for the Wii comes out tomorrow. XD I am excited 'cause unlike someone else in my family, I am smart enough to pre-order games I want to purchase. Unfortunately, it may interfere in my studying trend.

I bought the complete 2nd Season of Yu-Gi-Oh on DVD a week ago. All of Battle City, right up to before Noa. 'Cause that's where the 3rd Season starts. Imagine. The 3rd Season comes out sometime in July, and although I told my Mom that is what I want for Christmas... I'll probably end up buying it myself.

And last, but not least, I have to get my Wisdom Teeth out. Yay.... Nothing says Summer fun like surgery.

>.< Also... I am addicted to the soundtrack from Hercules. XP
