I was a Level 9 at 68% last night and now I'm Level 10 at 77%. Woohoo.

I want to make an Aang and Toph banner but I don't know how. Can someone please help? I'm a cavewoman with technology and am helpless.

I've been a member here for over a year, and this is the first time I've signed on. I forgot my password and the fact that I was a member. Very embarrasing. Well, I'm not sure what to do here exactly, oh well.

I'm sure all Avatar fans know that Mako (Uncle Iroh) has died. I'm not sure of what to say. He was an amazing actor: Aku and Uncle Iroh. He may have only been the voice for such a wise character that is Iroh, but that wisdom had a meaning that also came from the voice. And his role as Aku was great too, that all powerful but slightly goofy dictator. All of these performances had meaning from his voice. We will miss you, Mako. Rest in Peace.

For those that don't know about FanFiction.Net, its the largest fanfiction site on the web, really well made and stuff. My profile is Firework. There's this author called RedNovember that is incredibly good and has over 1,000 reviews on 2 stories. I highly recommend her stories. "The Hunter and the Prey" (really sad ending) and "Love Thy Enemy", the sequel of THATP which features the reincarnations of THATP. If you want to read Avatar or any fanfics, go to FanFiction.Net.

I went to a baby shower with my mom last Sunday. It was for a co-worker, that lady that everyone can envy and adore. She had a really nice house, but some of those baby shower games were weird. Like melting chocolate in a diaper and smelling it to determine which chocolate is inside. It really looked like poop. I couldn't look at it.
My mom got her co-worker a red baby jumper outfit from Japan that said "golden child" and a sushi yukata. Everyone loved the baby jumper outfit. Its basically a baby's outfit with two straps attached that you can yank to make your baby jump like a baby jumper would. Japanese are so clever. At restaurants, they have a buzzer that you can call your waiter with whenever you need them. Its not complicated. Its genius that they came up with it when we have to wait for our waiter to come over.
The cake was very strange, it had a very thick icing that was rippled so it looked like a colorful cloth covered the cake. Aside from the overly thick frosting and raspberries, it was good. Everyone was very nice. And we got party favors with candy hearts and marshmallow shaped peppermints.

Why is that some of my friend's names are yellow and others aren't. I'm confused.

I'm working on an Avatar fansite called "The Blind Bandit", dedicated to the awesome Toph. Making a  fan site, especially for rookie, is a lot harder than it looks. But I'm determined. Because I'm a teenager, I can't afford to make a fancy Avatar site, so it'll be low in graphics. But it'll be thorough in information and correct grammar which is important. Haha, anyway, it should be up and running in a month or two, possibly. But certainly before the end of this year. I don't procrastinate that badly.

My family, my mom, dad, and little brother, and I went to Japan for four weeks to visit my mom's family over there. At first I was scared and tired from jet lag. But Japan simply mocks the American lifestyle, they have the toilet in a separate room so they are more hygienic. And if someone's bathing, you won't bother them, they also have screens in front of the bath so if someone were to walk in they couldn't see you. The way Japan is set up is made to ensure a healthy lifestyle. You have to walk everywhere, myself and my dad lost wait just by being in Japan. Everyone stared at me, I have dark skin and big eyes, even by American standards. My mom said that by Japan standards I'm beautiful so that's why they were staring. I don't care, it was so embarrasing. I was eating an icecream bar and people were watching me, I was embarrassed to eat when people were observing me. But Japan was so, clean. The subway had NO trash anywhere, no gum beneath the tables or trash on the streets. And people were so polite. My dad lost his wallet, our only means of cash. If you lost your wallet here, you might get it back, without your credit cards and cash of course. But when we went to the police station, it was there. Everything was in the wallet too. I'm serious, my dad couldn't get over it. My parents considered moving over there, and I don't think it would be so bad of an idea. Everyone was so polite and courteous. And even the beach was clean. You could see through the ocean water. Japan was great, I miss it. America can learn a LOT from Japan.

Why am I writing this here instead of as a review, because I can. It was a great episode, yet once again, the Fire Nation soldiers appear as incompetent. That bugs me somehow, that they appear foolish. And Mai and Ty Lee were great additions, I can't wait for more of them, I'm a girl. I mean that I want to see them again as part of the story you weird people that could misinterpret that. Again, I hate Katara. How is it that a Waterbender that only has a few days worth of training, become a master and defeat at least a dozen of other trained students. And she just stood there, helplessly when Ty Lee disbaled her bending. I hate Katara.
