Today I walked outside and noticed something. It was snowing! The first snow that shows that winter is on its way. It's still snowing right now, and it's getting a little heavier. Hopefully some might pile up so I can see that beautiful sight of snow all around.
A couple of updates: New sig/avy, and I'm watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. That'd be all for this short blog. :P

Well, I'm back from my break starting tomorrow.
It's nice to be back for real!
I'm taking a break. I have a few things I need to sort out, and I have to get away to do that. So, for the rest of the week, I won't be around much. I'll still be checking on LoN at least once a day, but other than that I'll be gone until either Sunday or Monday. I'm sorry for being so sudden with this, but I need to do it. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, but you're going to have to deal with it.
A couple of things to say before I leave:
@kjhg53: I'll be putting you as leader until I get back.
@Cloud_765 and the rest of AON: My Hot Seat can either be locked now or left open for questions until I get back. Once the time for it is over, you could just un-sticky it and I can answer the questions that were left. It would probably be better to lock it now though.
Well... I think that's all. The only places I'll be seen until Sunday or Monday will be LoN or possibly The Foreign Grounds, but then again, most people don't go there. And I won't be around much, so anybody who thinks I'm just skipping out on other duties or other unions, you're wrong. I just put LoN before any other union I'm in and since I'm the leader I have to keep an eye on it.
Thanks for reading guys and gals, I'll see you in a few days.
~Sora
Gonna get right into it...
Well... It's late and I don't much else to say. :P Maybe a proper blog later on this weekend, but not now.
Thanks for reading!

*drum roll*
1.)Darth-Caedus
Level 31- Ippon! (92%)
The Shredder's Union
The big uno. :P I first met Darth around OT, not too long after I started becoming active. The thing I remember most about him from before I knew him was this huge ass list of bands he would post every time someone asked for a music recommendation. I'd look through a music thread just looking for the red wall of death. :P More than once when I was talking about what I liked to listen to, he poked some fun at me (KoRn heh heh, Slipknot, heh heh) and told me to listen to some metal. Well, for a while I just ignored it thinking "Hey, jerk, shut up!" but then I decided to actually give it a try. So I took the list he had, and picked a few bands off of it. At first, I thought it wasn't anything. The first few bands I tried weren't that great, in my opinion. And then I decided to look up Children of Bodom. The effect was instant. I had a new favorite band! Less than a year later, the way I look at music is completely changed. I enjoy music so much more now. My entire image pretty much changed. Before, I would think I was cool and hardcore because I listened to Slipknot as loud as I could put it. Then I started to see how wrong I was as I learned more about metal. I grew out my hair, started wearing band shirts all the time, and even started to learn how to play the guitar. I even made more friends; No longer was I this no name who didn't stand out at all. I learned where I could fit in, and I'm friends with many great people now that I wasn't before. It also feels good to be able to tell someone to listen to a really obscure band from Sweden or Germany. :P This is the reason I look up to Darth the most; He is like a metal encyclopedia. He helped me get into the music I love most, and he indirectly made my life better. I'm sure that sounds pretty weird, but hey, I guess you can get inspiration from some weird places. :P
And there you have it! The end. The honorable mentions blog will be up by Sunday, and I'll do the tag blog some time after that. Thanks everyone!

4.)Cloud_765
Level 26- Cyber Lip (59%)
All-Out Nintendo, GameSpot Statistics Database, SonicSpot
, The Nintendo DS RPG Union, The Guide and Discussion Union, Nintendo Dream, The Ultimate Union for UCBs and Unions, Totally Awesome Pokemon
I had only heard of Cloud at first. kjhg53, one of the current officers and co-founders of Legend of Nintendo, was part of the All-Out Nintendo, as an officer at the time. I had heard that AON was an incredibly successful union, but I never got around to joining it for a while. Cloud came to LoN one day when he heard that we had a 3k view day. That later caused me to join AON, which I now am an officer at. I really look up to Cloud because he is a great leader, as shown by his immense success with AON. I've gone to him for help more than once. He also got me a little into stats, around the time I was approaching 10k posts. I like to pay attention to those things now, and it's made me a more active member of GameSpot. We've also had a few somewhat personal conversations, and I feel like if I needed to talk to someone unbiased I could go to him, as well as he could come to me if he ever needs help.
3.)Nicaboy456
Level 41- Thunder Force (78%)
The Major League Baseball Union, The Toonami Union, The Gotei 13
Nica was another person I met through the Toonami Union (damn it, I need to make it a habit to go there more!). When I first joined the TU I made a thread about Maburaho, an anime that I had recently watched. I was asking if there should be a second season to it. In that thread, I got into a conversation with Nica and it went from there. I look up to Nica because he has an extensive knowledge of both anime and manga, and he is a cool person. I've gotten recommendations from him, and talked with him a lot about different titles that I've enjoyed. He is also the only person I know who also enjoys "My Balls" and "Futari Ecchi". Which is a huge plus. :P
2.)kjhg53
Level 29- Radiant Silvergun (88%)
Legend of Nintendo, The Crious Gamers Union, All-Out Nintendo, The Blue Bomber Battalion, Sega Zone, The Digi-Destined Base, Tri-Fusion
Kj's been around since the start of my active time on GS. He was one of the most active posters in the original Pokemon threads on the Platinum boards, and still is part of what that was (in the form of LoN). He's mature, which is something I respect. I can rely on him to take my place as leader of LoN if that ever needs to happen, and I can be sure the union would be in good hands. He also is very funny, and pretty weird, so in other words, he's like me. :P He's a great help at LoN, and I don't think I could do the job without him there (or any of the other officers, for that matter)
There you have it, only one more to go!After number one, I'll have an honorable mentions blog and then I have my tag blog to make. Expect number one some time this weekend. ;)
7.)mastetofthedark
Level 30- Wicked Sick! (80%)
The Signature and Tag Making Team, GFXplosion, The Mario Kart Club, Designers in Training, Ultimate Design union
I'm going to look like a stalker with this one. :P I first saw MotD around the forums somewhere and I loved his sig. I was envious of his talents and hoped to have him make me something someday. The biggest problem was that I didn't know how I was going to actually meet him. :P But then I joined the All-Out Nintendo union, which he was an officer in. He was the one who encouraged me to catch up to him in posts (which I did. :x) and to get to 10k (which I did. :x). His designing works also caused me to download GIMP, which I use to this day. :D
6.)sinistra45
Level 30- Wicked Sick! (66%)
The Toonami Union, The Everything Old School Union
I met Sin through the Toonami Union, namely through Dimension Wars: Last Force Standing. He approached me and a few other people and we worked together for a while. I was struck by his leadership skills. He knew how to keep us all in while still keeping himself in the position to win at any time. I was honored to work with him, and I was hoping I might have ended up on his team for Dim Wars IV. He is a really cool guy, and could kick my ass in any form of debate. (not that I'd want to try it. :P).
5.)Dudersaper
Level 29- Radiant Silvergun (50%)
Ultimate Design union, All-Out Nintendo, EnVision Group, Music Is Life Union, Mass Designer's Lounge
I first met Duder on OT. I knew right away that he was a cool guy because he liked KoRn. He was the first person I found on GS who also liked them. And finally someone who didn't cringe at the name. :P Duder is really funny, and enjoys most of the same music I do, which gets him an A+ in my book. We're also gay lovers, but that's a different story. :oops: :P
Stay tuned for numbers 4 to 2!
10.)cfamgcn
Level 32- Snake Eater (63%)
The Japanese Exported Union
I met CF quite a while back. I had seen him posting before, but I had never talked to him. Then, he ended up in a few unions that I was in. After some initial violence (fights that I always won because I'm so evil :x) I started to see that he's a really cool guy. A huge musician and also a fan of anime. Sadly, he isn't around much these days, but you'll know it's him when you see ~de arimasu after every one of his posts. :P
9.)Forte224
Level 11- Atomic Punk (33%)
Forte... He was one of my favorite members for a while. He joined the Blue Bomber Battalion one day, on a freshly made GS account. I knew there was something different about him, because he was very intelligent. Eventually, he joined LoN and became one of our most active posters. If he was still here with us today, he'd more than likely be an officer. Sadly, he decided one day that it was time to leave GS, and so he did. Forte, if you ever read this, we hope you come back one day. :D I look at the quote in your sig ("Interesting...If you can retain that power......Then perhaps we shall meet again someday...") and it makes me hopeful that we might see you again one day.
8.)KHfanboy2
Level 34- Paramecium (93%)
SPOTunion, Kingdom Hearts and Anime union, The Amoeba Attack Squad Alpha Niner Delta Team, Awesome Kingdom Hearts Union, The Gaming Intelligence Agency, The Clan of Evil Conquest, OFF-TOPIC BAR, The Dark Rulers Anime Union, The Legend of Nintendo, Seireitei Society Union, Nine-Tailed Hollows, The TopMachos Union, Upside to Anger
KH was another one of those people I saw posting a lot before I actually talked to him (wow, I'm such a stalker!). I met him at the Clan of Evil Conquest, and we went from there. With a mind almost as evil as mine, he is a fun person to scheme with. I respect his sig full of women (I should try that some day :o). KH is one of the most well known users I've ever met, and I hope to be on his level one day.
Well, there you have it, the first batch. Expect numbers 7 to 5 either later today or tomorrow.

Hi there and welcome to my blog...
First off, I made myself a new sig/avy combo earlier today. I know it isn't that great, but I've been in a slump lately and I can't seem to get out of it. If anyone has a good tutorial or anything that might help me, that'd be appreciated. :D
The sig for those who might want to see it:
It's Yoh Asakura, if you didn't know.
Next... I got a level up from Ippon! to Snake Eater. I'm already 22% through this one so it shouldn't be too long before I reach the next level. I know nothing of Snake Eater so I have nothing else to say about this level. :P
I've been getting sick a lot more than usual lately. Usually, throughout an entire school year, I'll get sick once, two times tops. But this year, I've been sick 3 times in just the first QUARTER of the year. All together I've missed 5 days of school, today being the fifth. Normally I wouldn't worry about missing a day of school... But a couple of weeks ago I missed three days because of strep throat. I was finally getting fully caught up when I caught what I have now. My brother could have H1N1, so it's always a possibility that I have that. Let's hope not...
Something else that is some-what on that subject, I have to go in for X-Rays on my back. I had my physical last weekend, and my doctor noticed that I have a slight curve in my spine in my lower back area. This wouldn't have been a big deal if my sister hadn't had major surgery on her back for scoliosis a few weeks ago, but since she did my parents are making me go in to let them look at my back. Not that it's severe at all, but they just are blowing it way out of proportion just because of my sister.
A few days ago a girl confessed to me. I didn't know how to react to it; I haven't known her long, and I only know her because I was friends with her sister. They moved a while back down to Massachusetts, but for some reason she waited until after they were gone to tell me. I've been worrying about it ever since she told me because I'm not sure if I can return her feelings. To tell the truth, I've been developing feelings for one of my friends who has liked me before. I'll make sure to keep all who care updated. :P
And now for a brief advertisement from our sponsors...
And last but not least... recent CD purchases. :o
Natural Born Chaos - Soilwork
Sworn to a Great Divide [Limited Edition] - Soilwork (just came today!)
And... that's all folks! Thanks for reading as usual. :)
