I just can't figure out the new tv.com layout. I tried, I really did but I can't seem to get it to work for me. Luckily Eric had the idea to write our blogs on Gamespot, even though it's different it is still similar to the old tv.com layout. For now it'll do, I just hope tv.com will go back to it's old layout.

Well, 74 milles wind hit Ohio sunday because of Ike. 95% of the tristate lost electrcity, I was one of them. I just got it back alittle bit ago, so I am so behind on my internet life. It was really horrible because this wasn't supposed to happen, so nobody was prepared. For example we lost about $100 in food. It was terrible....

Today started out as a pretty normal day. Woke up at five, got ready for school, same old, same old. But when I got to my locker this morning I opened up my locker and there was a bee inside! Yes, as in the insect. It was huge! And it was in my locker! I freaked out. My only major phobia are bugs, I'm one of those people who scream when I see an ant. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it to come out of my locker and I was too scared to try to kill it. In the end I ended up bringing all my stuff(2 binders, 2 text books, 4 folders, 3 notebooks, an agenda, my purse, my oboe, and my backpack) to all my classes, which, by the way are spread over 3 floors. So basicly my arms really , really hurt.... Oh yeah, during all this my friend Thomas laughed his ass off. Jerk...

I've joined my school's film club, isn't that awsome?! It's really fun so far and I swear that one of the seniors in it has to be that hotteset guy who ever lived *starts drooling just thinking about him* So, this makes me happy! That's really it. Oh yeah, I'm also training to be a peer medeator... kinda scarey, huh? I also have a facebook now, so if you want it pm me.

Well, that's it. I'm sorry if I havn't commented on your blogs, school has be harsh. This reminds me, nobody commented on my last blog... *Pout*

I know avatar is still alive(movie, shorts,ect) but I want to say some things about my avatar experiences.

The First Time I Watched Avatar:

Truthfully I thought Avatar sounded stupid when I saw the commercials on nick. However, one night I was really bored and there was nothing to watch so I decided to watch this 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'. And that night was the first showing of the third episode, I loved it! AND there was this one guy I really liked... his name was Zuko. This is were it began for me.

Tv Tome(TV.com): Well, after 'The Storm' I was going insane to watch avatar so I kept on looking for things avatar... And I found this place. I was never one for the computer till this point, I didn't even know there were such things as forums! It was amazing though.... so many fans of avatar, joining and talking about the series. I fell in love with it. I didn't join till quite awhile after that, it wasn't till during the long break before The Library and The Desert till I did. So finally after all that time reading what these people wrote, I was with them and made great friends while I was at it.

Fanfiction: My friend, Alicen(my best friend at the time) LOVED Harry Potter and wanted me to go to this 'Fanfiction.net' and read the HP stories there. I never made it to the HP section, as soon as I saw that they had Avatar fanfics I was taken. I discovered this during thanks giving break so for a week of barley sleeping and eating at the computer I read LOTS of avatar fanfics. For my whole life I had been in resource classes, mainly for reading, I continued to read fanfics though and it improved my reading to extrems... I now read at a beyond highschool level and take regular English classes. This was all thanks to fanfiction.

Fanvids: Don't remember how I discovered them... but opened up a bigger music world for me.... that's it for this one.

Seventh Grade: Worst year of my life, that year I was really ill and went from doctor to doctor. I missed so much school because of it and had to have an at home tutor. I never really made any real friends this year... I was never at school so how could I? I was majorly depressed, I started cutting and taking drugs... luckily I was able to tell I was getting adicted and stopped both things. I also seriously thought of suicide... I would try to make excuses like 'I still have so much I need to do', 'What about my family' even then I still wanted to do it. It sounds silly but Avatar pulled me through that year... I wanted to see what would happen at the end and every friday I was SO happy it was on... and at those times, were the only times I felt truly happy. Luckily, by the 8th grade they figured out what was wrong with me and evently my life started to get pulled back together again.

Start of MORE fandom: During all those times where there was a space of time during episodes, I needed somethings else to be preocupied with and discovered lots of new story interestes... manga and anime. Avatar is still better though.

Well, this is the last part of the blog. I started watching avatar when I was in the 6th grade(if you have't noticed I base everything on which grade I was in) and now I'm heading into the 10th. WOW. I love you guys more than anything and I wouldn't have even known you guys if it weren't for Avatar and I will remain here if you guys remain here too. I'm being serious... you guys are like family to me... Eric is like my older brother, Mellomuse is like my gurdian, U4ric is like my mother... the list goes on. As you see, Avatar is a real big part of my life, it will never just be a tv show I watched when I was bored. Darn it, I'm crying... *hugs everyone*

-Ray, who will talk to you again when emotinally stable.

*in tears* I'll write a real blog on it tomorrow, it's just that I can't do it right now.... best two hours of my life.

Till tomorrow,

Ray

I must say I was kinda of dissapointed at first but the end made up for it! The last ten minutes were a mix of funny(Sokka/Suki's actions), sweet (Toph and Zuko talk), dramatic(Kataang, or lack there of), AND SAD(the end of the play).

I can't talk about tomorrow epi...I'll start to cry....

Ignoring Avatar for a moment, tomorrow I'm going to a Jappanese convention. It's mostly anime and manga stuff but they're also going to have some other things as well. I'm also cosplaying with a very cheap budget. I'm cosplaying as Konan from Naruto, I have all this bue make-up and I also have a flower to put in my hair... that was all I could afford. You never know though, who says I can't win best cosplay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Till tomorrow,

Ray

Katara forgave Zuko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy, now I can stop hateing Katara. So yes, with all this forgiving I am forgiving Katara! *suddenly angry*However she did hug Zuko!!!!!!! (Zuko fangirl)

Well, anyways, TSR was a great episode! I LOVED the very end with what Zuko said to Aang before he walked away. And we got to see bloodbending in it as well! Sokka was a very cute kid, but now that he's older and he's trying to sneek girls in his room *cough*Suki*cough*. Man, that part was SO funny!

Can't wait for the episode tomorrow! Sounds funny and dramatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Till tomorrow,

Ray

*Cough* Best title ever *cough*

*spazzes* I can't wait for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See I had watched all the avatar episodes till this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for The Southren Raiders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For now,

Ray

Did you guys see the new commercial!?!?!?!?!?!?!! Wow, just wow! If you guys watched the WAT you know which commercial I'm talking about! And if you did see it, did you see what happened to my Zuko?! He was injured! *cries*

-Ray, who is on an Avatar high.

I am officially done with summer gym! Which means I do not have to take gym for the rest of high school! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took summer gym because band takes so much time in the school year. But I have to say even though it sucked it was a lot more fun than regular school year gym. I'm done and it makes me happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Ray

ps- Go short blogs!

I'm bored and I felt like blogging... so here it is! Now what to talk about? *ten mins later* Okay... I've got nothing. So... I am claming this awkard....

Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Ray

ps- Come by here and say hi! I want to be caught up on your guys lives!

*sobs* I have a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am adicted to ANOTHER thing. First it was Avatar, then Fullmetal Alchemist, then Naruto, then Fruits Basket, and now Death Note. I can't help it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For now,

Ray

Wow, I havn't been on here in forever!!!! I just got on break so to celebrate my brief freedom, I'm bloging. I have no plans for break. Are any of you guys doing anything interesting for the holidays?

OH!!!!!!!! Today I'm going to watch my first R rated movie in theaters! I'm going to go see Swiney Todd(sp?) with Courtney (if you guys forget, Courtney is my sister) and my grandma.

My last blog was before season 3 of avatar aired. So, my opinion on the new season is, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But then again, I love anything avatar...

-Ray

Well, if you guys didn't know.... there is a very descriptive review of The Awakening(Avatar) on Animationinsider.net. And guess what?! I DIDN"T read it! Isn't it wonderful!! I did look at the screenshots however, but still! See I had slipped before The Secret of the Fire Nation aired, beacuse they had the review up and I read it! But no, not this time! Now, I just have to wait untill the 21st... wish me luck!

Oh yeah, I've had a supremly horrible day.... it made it on my list of top ten worst days so far in my life list. So much bad happened to day... don't feel like writeing it all...
