Naruto dubs, Special Olympics, and a cute guy

Well, my week is all summed up in the title. So now I don't have to post now! Right?
...
*sigh* fine!

I volunteered at the Special Olympics near where I live. I went with my school ~ some people signed up. Actually, I went because of Girl Scouts. Our troop decided to go. Our troop is really small... three people! Nudge, Angel, and I! ww
Okay, all we really did was help out at some booths that had arts and crafts type things. Pretty boring, if you ask me. Nudge said that we would get back late, but we got back at 6:30! lol.

I was watching an odd Naruto chatroom thingee on YouTube when my brother called from the living room "Hey, Courtney! I think there's a Nah-roo-toh thing on the Cartoon Network!" So I went into the living room and watched part of it, just to see what episode it was (it's a filler that I skipped. something do to with Shino and Ino and fishermen and Naruto disappearing). So when commercial came on, I turned off the television.
And, yes, my brother did actually pronounce it "nah-roo-toh." I worry. My mother did that, too!What wrong with these people?! The only other time I've heard people pronnounce it like that was on Naruto Abridged 13. "Hey, guys! I'm Nah-roo-toh!" "There is no way you are Naruto."
~*~
There is an ah-dorable guy at my church! I just learned his name on Wednesday, after two months of going to that church, lol. But I've thought of him without a name so long that I just think of him as his name! It's kind of funny. I really need to talk to him. *sigh* I had exacly one chance. Well, one big chance. But, of course, I couldn't do it. I probaly would have pulled a Hinata, rolf.
For those of you too deprived to know who Hinata is, she is a very quiet and shy girl (click on her name up there for her profile). Whenever she talks to Naruto, it's usually like this: "Er, um, Ko-konnichiwa... Naruto..."
So, yeah.
I think I shall watch Shippuuden now.

Naruto Abdridged 17

Because it's funny.

I bought a CD on eBay last week, and it finally came! Pretty quickly, actually. (laugh) It's a CD with all of the best Naruto songs on it! I forgot the english title (on the CD, it's in Japanese. I can't read Japanese... Yet). It has songs like Ima Made Nando Mo, Wind, GO!!! [Although, I thought it was titled 'Fighting Dreamers'], and a lot more. I'm happy ^^ Now I must rip this to my computer!!! Bai bai~

Post #800

Yay, 800! ^^
Well, I changed my profile photo for the first time in a long time! I tried to find one that resembled me (laugh).
Well, I'm up late working on a science project! Actually, I could probaly have been in bed a loooong time ago, but I keep getting disctracted!!! I made a new friend on AnimeForum :D
What else, what else... Ah, I went canoeing with Angel and my mother today... Our church was doing a canoe trip. My back is sunburnt, but it doesn't hurt too much.
Oh, I found this really interesting article! I haven't finished reading it yet, I'm only on page two. But it's raelly good so far.
Okay, not much of a post (especially for post #800!), but there really isn't anything to talk about. *sigh*
Oh, btw, for you non-Americans (laugh), today is Memorial Day... Haha, I really didn't know what this holiday is about 'till I read part of that article. I knew it had something to do with a war, but... Yeah. My aunt, who is from Mexico, told us that Cinco de Mayo really isn't much of a holiday in Mexico. I find that kind of funny. I thought it was a holiday like Independance Day, not a boring federal holiday like President's Day!
I'm going to be gone at summer camp on the Fourth of July (Independace Day) this year... Aw, I'm going to miss the fireworks! Oh, well... Maybe there will be fireworks at camp! I hope so! ^^

Angel and I being very, uh, *cough* weird. lol. Angel is the one who was constantly talking. I don't talk much. :D (Yes, I do sound funny... I just got an exapander, so I'm having issues speaking... lol)

Chobits.

**Warning: This post contains spoilers!**

Chobits is... Amazing. The best! I love it. The ending was beautiful (probaly the best anime ending I've seen... I'll have to watch Furuba's again to see which one is better). I love what someone posted in the comments of episode 26:

LOL... I agree though. Calling it a really good anime is an understatement. I think the reason it touches so close to many people is because some of the struggles in this anime are very close to things that we face on a daily basis in real life; think about how possible it would be to have digital humans in the future, and what problems this would bring to society. It's really a great plot, and with Chobits, I believe CLAMP set a new standard for all Seinen anime.

I didn't cry, though I was very close. I don't cry easily during movies or anime or anything on a screen. I got teary on one episode of Tokyo Mew Mew (the ep about Pudding's mother), and I think I might have cried a teeny bit on the last eps (I don't remember for certain, though). I know I did cry a little for Fruits Basket, but defintally not Naruto.

Anyways, Chobits. They never really did say if Chii (Elda?) was a chobit or not... I would like to think that she is. I mean, she cried, didn't she? Would a persocon cry? I'm not sure... But Chii doesn't act like a normal persocon, she seems to actually have feelings. Yes, I'm sure of it. I am glad that Chii and Hideki were able to be together. I really liked how they tied those books into the story, too :)

I guess there really isn't anything left to say...

If you haven't watched Chobits, do it!!! If you haven't seen it yet, though, it really wasn't wise to read this post...

EDIT: After I posted this, I went to my blog to see if the post came out alright. The Chobits theme song on my playlist came on! lol.

Onigiri are adorable

My Trip

Okay, FINALLY I'm posting the photos from my trip last weekend! Go me! XD

(i took a lot of pix of random stuff!)

(Note: I took all of these with my crappy digi-cam. So I do have better pix, taken with my mother's SLR. But the scanner doesn't work, so... Gomen)

That weekend, I came to love sushi! It's delicious! I had some for lunch, then for dinner we got takeout from the same place, and I got what's in that pic. Kind of odd, but still delicious! The box kind of reminded me of a bento :D


With the top off.


I couldn't eat that pink thing... I'm not sure what kind of fish it was, but it was gross. It started to come apart, resulting in a squid-like thing. Ew.


It's my mini-melon! ^^


Reminds me of subway stairs :D


It's best not to take pictures from a moving car.




^^


hehe


This looked cooler when they neon sign was on... Purple! ^^


lol

Anime.

I am going to list my favourite animes. In order. Why? Because I feel like it. Deal with it!!!

1. Chobits

Er, no, my first isn't Naruto Shippuuden. Shippuuden has yet to drawn me in. I'm addicted to Chobits (laugh). But only three more episodes left! Noes! I am going to miss Chii...

2. Naruto Shippuuden

Ah, there you are! :D Shippuuden is a great anime! I'm just not quite addicted yet... But probaly soon! The fight between Deidra and Gaara was good :)

3. Vampire Knight

This anime is exciting, intreging, and a bit freaky! I love it. I think there's going to be some romance, too... Well, it IS shoujo!

4. Fruits Basket

The anime is funny, the manga is great! I do with that the series would continue farther... Like the manga.

5. Ouran High School Host Club

One word: Hilarious.

I do want to see Death Note next! After I finish Chobits :P
