Oh, life these days... I have been so busy and even at points forgotten about TV.com, I'm sorry to say. But one must wonder if this is a sign of growth or maybe it falls under the general category of moving on...? Just because I may have outgrown this website does not mean that it has outgrown me. Nor does it mean that I wish I hadn't been on more lately. TV still is one of the greatest passions of my life and I hope it will continue to be.

With all that being said, I will say that I have finished my first year in college! I wonder what is in store for my second year? And with that I must also say I have lost two of my guides. Well three if you consider how one was stolen from me, but that's OK because I stole a guide from someone and now that's gone, lol... Oh, wait. Looking back, this takes me to my TV Tome days when that one guide that was stolen from me and then I lost it because I was a bad editor was originally mine. The world just works in funny circles, but JetixMasterDan is going to do a wonderful job with Dragon Ball Z because he already was when he was editor. Anyway, I'm really sad about losing Tsubasa, but I am willing to own up to it because it is all my fault. But you know, my loss is a gift to someone else.

My point is that I'm still around, even if it isn't all that much. I'm sorry and I really miss my friends on here and wish you all the best.\

PS: This wasn't a goodbye at all. I'm having a boring summer, so will be checking out the boards again, lol...

Everyone!! How have y'all been? I have been so super busy lately - I have an actual job and I'm going to a rather prestigeous college in the fall (but I already did a month-long summer program that where I was basically like on lockdown). However, I have not given up on TV or anime, not even this website. I have put so many hours into my guides, I must continue, no matter how busy I get. I love TV so much and I'm so addicted that my plan for college is to get a BA in English, specifficaly for creative writing (because I want to be some sort of fiction writer if I don't write screenplays and what not) with a possible double major in film. Film is my number one minor otherwise. I plan on getting a master's in Film.

Currently, I'm watching/reading Naruto, only the official uncut VIZ stuff though. I'm not caught up with the episodes in Japan or the United States and I don't read the scanlations. I've been religiously watching Bleach on [adult swim], and reading the scanlations, however I don't watch the fansubs. I have been playing Pokemon Pearl on my DS while play various games on the Wii. Managing all this with a healthy social/family life and work - and soon schoolwork - has gotten pretty tough.

With all that being said, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive and I still check the basics of TV.com even if I'm not frequenting the message boards. Regarding the second title, my newest best friend is a "Musical Theater Master" so I've been addicted to musicals. I've seen Wicked in the theater three times already (I plan to see it more soon) and I just went to see Hairspray in the theater, I wish I could see that on Broadway right now - Ashley Parker Angel is Link, LOL! (I watched the whole first season of Making the Band, pop was cool back in the day.) I still HEART CLAMP. :D

FIRST: Anyone notice that I'm still going with my double-titled blogs theme??
Anyway, there's so much to do, but I have nothing to do, LOL! I'm trying to work on my guides, but there's so much to take care of and then I get discouraged. Then I try to feel confident and get distracted... I probably have ADD or I just get bored really easily.
So, I'm working on my Dragon Ball Z (Uncut) guide right now, especially with those new releases. I'm having a problem... some may already know about it. Look in the forums for that show and you'll understand. I PM'ed the editor of the main Dragonball Z show, but I haven't heard back yet! Argh! I'm also working on my other FUNimation show Tsubasa because that's new! Sorta... my problem with that is that the DVD doesn't make any sense. The credits, I mean. Actors are credited even when they weren't in the episode while others who were aren't! I'm so confused. Also, at least two of my shows are in the top 100 animation. Yay!
Also, Aeon Flux!! I'm the editor... how and when did that happen? Weird...

Okay, I just saw Grindhouse with my stepdad. It was kind of awkward because there are some naughty parts. But I have to say: It was pretty frickin' awesome! I want it on DVD so badly. Death Proof was especially good. Planet Terror just wasn't as good in comparisson. However, looking back, it was great

Also, happy Easter? And look at my last blog because it still applies.

That's right!! It's pretty exciting. I am a part of the "Win with Words" week. Please, watch! 7:30pm on the Game Show Network.

Anyway, the second title of this blog is because I have started to like Naruto. Before, I just couldn't understand why everyone loved a crazy ninja on crack. However, the show is way more than that. How many ninja shows are on the air right now anyway? (On that subject, I always ask my friend: How many pirate shows are on TV? The only one that comes to mind is One Piece)

Since I last wrote a blog, I saw Wicked and loved it, more than The Wizard of Oz, which is saying A LOT! I have become obssessed with the soundtrack. It's really good.

Right now, I am on spring break and I am going to challenge myself by trying to make one episode of any of the TV shows I edit complete, like the episode will have quotes and recaps and cast, everything. Except, tomorrow doesn't count because I am going to Knott's Berry Farm. Yay!

I have been so Bleach-crazy lately! That's basically all I've been doing, just watching the episodes. I was reading the manga, but I am all caught up with VIZ's releases. I am also planning to be fully caught up with the Japanese airings before I start reading the manga again because someone pointed out that it is better to watch the TV show or movie of a book first. Then, your expectations won't be as high and things won't be so shocking if they are done differently... I feel like I am rambling. I probably am.

The point is: Bleach!!! I stay home on Saturay nights now, just to watch it. It's a great shonen show and I am glad that I get to watch it while it is still on the air (unlock Dragon Ball Z).

What was the poont of this blog? I don't know! I guess I just wanted to let everyone know that I am watching Bleach!

Everyone! How have you been... I haven't been around too much. I'm so sorry. I just realized how much I loved this site in the past and how I could never ever leave it. EVER! Ahh!!!

How has everyone been? Just post something quick so I know.

I've been okay. I have been so busy with school. At one point, I was having 13-hour school days! That really sucked. :( Everything's all right now. I am managing my Advanced Placement classes, but Film History is taking the fun out of watching movies and it shouldn't! Argh! And getting into college is no easy feat. Hmph!

This site is dedicated to televsion. I am currently watching everything on the CW during primetime Tuesday-Thursday, so Veronica Mars and Gilmore girls, Smallville and Supernatural (which I have been forgetting to watch!), and Beauty and the Geek with One Tree Hill. I am obssessed with Heroes on Monday and I can't wait for Lost to return - it's going to get really good.

But, I am an anime lover. I try to watch adult swim on Saturday, but it has not worked out very well. It doesn't matter. Bleach is the best show on at that time and I've seen the episodes they are currently airing. My best friend just got me hooked onto the Japanese One Piece, though I was a fan of the manga when it first came out.

Well, that's about it for now. Bye!

That's right... Going to Las Vegas... be back on Wednesday. :D

Yay! I've been trying to get that guide for a while. I had to get a lot of points thought because the staff wouldn't do anything about the inactive editor. So, I feel like I accomplished something really big. To go with capturing the Tsbuasa Chronicle guide, I want the xxxHOLiC guide really badly... will I manage to do it? I hope so!

Alternate Title: "A Little More Personal (RAW)" (LOL! Lindsay Lohan.)

I decided to make the title of this blog straightfoward. :lol: So, happy Cinco de Mayo! I'm not going to do anything. Well, I am going to see an anime movie (in theaters, ooh!) with my stepdad. But my stepdad is from the Mediterranean, so that's slightly weird. (So you know, the movie is Trinity Blood and it's from FUNimation. It's only out this weekend, so go to funimationfilms.com to see if it's playing nere you.) I'm actually part Hispanic. Yay me! :D Is anyone else here? Sadly, while I am part Hispanic, you may find that my support of the immigration laws upsetting. However, I am not actually doing anything about it, so I don't think anyone could really get mad at me. (By the way, what are you doing to celebrate? ~ Cinco de Mayo I mean.)

[Insert]
Question of the Blog: Which TV shows do you secretly watch and which guide would you secretly wish to take away from its editor on TV.com?

Now the sad part... I had to put that little insert before so I wouldn't ruin the mood of this which is continued from right after the Cinco de Mayo stuff: And why would you be mad at me today? I just recently discovered that I was in love with a girl, but I didn't eve realize it. Yep and I don't know why I didn't realize it. The signs were really obvious. But, I haven't seen her in over a month. We went to the same school, had all the same classes, worked at the same place, and even traveled halfway around the world with each other. The saddest part is that I'm not even sure if she considered me a friend.

Now... I am sad because she's gone. She went crazy and that's not a joke. She was put in a mental institution or recovering center or whatever you want to call it. She tried being an outpatient, having to go back every night, but it didn't work. She didn't live with either of her parents and I heard that she finally went to live with her dad. I finally managed to speak with her brother who goes to my school. I thought this girl had many friends at our school, but I am the only one to ask him about her. Her brother told me that she is in a rehab center, a very Christian-type place... I guess she's there for her smoking habits or whatever. Imagine me, an asthmatic falling in love with a secret smoker. That is so like me. Anyway, he told me that she would be there for six months and she wasn't really allowed to have visitors, especially boys.

But, I really need to see her, or at least talk to her. She left me with so many unanswered questions. I want to know about things she did and the way she was acting before she left. Why did she do it? And more importantly, are we friends?

What doesn't make sense is that she's not allowed visitors for such a long time. The distance doesn't even matter to me because I can drive. I'd go anywhere. I just read a story in literature class about a woman who sent her children away during the Depression to a convalescent home. The children weren't allowed physical contact with their parents, but the narrator was later implying that that just doesn't work. Back to me, I should be allowed to see her... I can't wait another 6 months.

Ever since she left, I've been slowly getting more depressed. I just don't like doing things anymore. My parents took my brother to the Renaissance fair last weekend, but I didn't go. I love it, but I just wanted to stay home and I didn't even do anything while they were gone. But, everything happens all at once right? Passing the time will be really hard for me, especially because I'm not working this summer.
