Yes, yes I have become successful in my journey to getting a girlfriend. Please, please, hold your applause to the end. I asked her out on Monday and she didn't even have to think about it, she just said yes right away. That was the first time I had ever actually asked someone out, so it went well I guess. I pretty much just said "Will you go out with me?". Quick and simple, and yet maybe the best words I have ever spoken. I'm sure many of you will think to yourself "Well this isn't that big of a deal, it's just a girlfriend" but what this represents to me is more than that. It represents me finally moving on from things that have happened in the past and it is something that gives me a lot of self confidence and experience. Yay me. In other news, I'm finally on Spring break. I could really use a vacation, so I'm looking forward to this week. It will hopefully be filled with sleeping, anime, and Olivia. Sounds good to me. ;) I would also like to take this time to advertise my FAVORITE BAND. They recently released their debut album (it releases on the 19th here in the U.S., but it's out in most other countries at this point). And let me say, it is incredible. They are a mixture of Death Metal, Pop, and etc. and they have three singers; a male growler, a male singer, and a female singer. I love their music an incredible amount and the album made this past week even better. :P So without further adieu, I present to you.. Amaranthe!

Track List Leave Everything Behind Hunger 1,000,000 Lightyears Automatic My Transition Amaranthine It's All About Me (Rain) Call Out My Name Enter the Maze Director's Cut Act of Desperation Serendipity

I recommend that everyone listen to at least a few songs. My favorites are 1,000,000 Lightyears, Automatic, Amaranthine, and Leave Everything Behind. I love them all though. Check them out. :D They need more fans. I haven't been playing video games very much lately, just some Pokemon White here and there and maybe some Bad Company 2 and Killzone 3 sprinkled in. I feel kind of like an idiot for having built a gaming PC that I haven't used for much, but I don't have any money to buy games right now and I've been busy (read: busy with my girlfriend) lately. On the bright side, I'll have plenty to play over the summer.. BUT I probably won't be having much free time over the summer. I recently applied for a paid internship at the UNH-IOL at a local college where, if I'm accepted, I'll be doing computer networking as an intern. This calls for 40 hour, Monday through Friday work weeks from early-July to mid-August. Kind of stressful for a 16/soon to be 17 year-old, but I could use the money. I want to buy a 3DS and some games for that, and I also want to do some computer upgrades so I can be ready for Battlefield 3. Anime-wise I've been lazy lately, and I've only watched a few episodes of D.Gray-man. I've been too tired to stay up until 4am like I usually do on vacations. I may attempt it tonight so I can see if I can get into that habit again and blast through the rest of D.Gray-man over break. I also read through the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga. It was quite interesting and gave me a different view on all of the different characters that I had known from my childhood. It was very very dark and much more violent. I think that about sums it up for this little update on my life that most people don't care about. :P I'm going to go find something to eat, go visit my grandfather that had surgery a few days ago, and then spend the rest of the day with Olivia. Cheers, and thanks for reading! ~Sora
