Wazzup, Internet?
So yesterday was the first day of Anime Club, formed at my school but held at the library for our school's lack of screening rooms. I was nervous as fuck walking in, but then I remembered... wait... these are ANIME people... they're going to be NICER than people at school 8D
So I walked in without fear and, low and behold, had an awesome time! The people were friendly, though it was the first meeting so we were all overexcited and refused to shut up (Still, sorry about that, Mr. Vice Prez XD). They had some trouble getting the show up and running, so we watched a couple YouTube videos called "AMV Hell""- fricking hilarious! Severealy perverted, though 0_0
Anyways, once they got it up and running, we watched the first episode an an anime called "Strawberry Panic." I can't judge very well, as I only watched one episode and I had a very biased and judgemental person whispering in my ear the entire time (DEMYX T_T), but I don't think I'll be continuing that anime past the first few episodes. I admit, though, I was turned off of it the moment I heard the word "romance." The series is, as far as I can tell, a Shoujo about an all-girls' school. There is a new student and basically EVERYONE is obsessed with her, like toddlers with the shiny new toy or something. She finally reaches the school and, in her excitement, falls down a HILL 8 down there, she meets the most beautiful girl she's ever seen, who kisses her. Then she passes out and wakes in the hallway, where her roommate meets her and her school year begins.
On the bright side, it seems like it would be a very cute, very FUNNY anime, and pretty much everyone in it is a lesbian so it's not sexually biased or everything. it was actually a refreshing change, to see this as the norm instead of her freaking out because she realizes she's gay and whatnot. ANYWAY. *Ahem*. I was a bit bothered by the fact, though, that the beautiful girl and the new student (Sorry i've been forgetting all their names DX) seem to be in love before they even know each others' names. THAT is why romance bothers me.
Otherwise, it seems like it would be a very good anime to people who aren't bothered by homosexuality or love-at-first-sight-type romance. I think I'll watch one or two episodes to make up my mind and add it to the list if I think it's worth watching.
On a more personal note, yesterday was a very weird day for me. My mom and I were alone that night, the rest of the family out of the house for at least two hours, and normally when that happens we just grab a movie and some snacks. Which is why I thought it was a bit strange that my mom decided to take the dog and I for a two-hour walk instead........??
But it turned out to be one of the best nights I've had in a long time. See, a few days ago I admitted to my mom that I remembered basically NOTHING about my life before we moved into this new house, where we are now. I was about five or six when we left that house, so I WAS young, but you would think I'd remember SOMETHING, right? I guess that bothered her or something, because she drove me down to our old neighborhood and we walked the dog through it, talking about life and everything, and every time we passed something interesting or another house she recognized or I posed a question, she would tell me some sort of tale about it. It was so interesting, and funny a lot of the time, and a bit surreal because of all these pictures that flooded into my head. "This was where your babysitter lived" suddenly brought this vision of laying in bed, watching my sitter Jessica leave the room, and listening for mom's voice to see what she thought of the spaghetti Jaqueline and I had made for her and dad out of paper. I asked my mom and, as it turns out, that is a real memory. She used to play Candy Land with us.
I saw a lot of interesting things and now I have all these memories that feel new but have just been buried; it's a weird feeling. But I had an awesome night- I hope I don't forget it.
