  I Actually Cosplayed, Sort Of

  Yay, it's Halloween! Time to go get lots of candy! Well, not too much.

  I was having a little trouble deciding on my costume for Halloween. I was originally going to be a pirate, because I could easily make a costume since I had already dressed up in it for Welcome Back. Then, my mom found these gray and blue pleated skirts for $2 each, thinking that they loked nice. When I saw them, I immediately thought of Full Metal Panic and Bleach. I wasn't sure if I should actually cosplay at all, but I had a dress shirt with a pocket, and I thought that being a pirate again would be boring.

  I decided to dress up like a student in the school that the Bleach characters are from. It really does look like the girls' uniform, except I couldn't find pain white knee highs that fit, so I have ones with cherries on them. Also, the red bow is actually a hairband tied in a bow safety pined onto my shirt. It was fun, though only the anime club and my friends who like anime knew what it was.

  Its raining here and there, but I think that trick-or-treating will still go on fine.

  Oh yeah, I'm happy that I've finally went up a rank; I've been at level 8 for something like a year or so.

  What to Talk About...

  Well, I've been busy with lots of school stuff lately. We get a whole lot of English homework.. sometimes our teacher underestimates the time it takes us to do stuff as well as she wants us to, I'd say. Still, the class is interesting, especially this crazy debate we had over whether or not Shylock from The Merchant of Venice was guilty of pre-meditated murder. I got Shylock is not guilty, and our group consequently had every single guy in our class (AS English classes don't always have a ton of boys, anyway), and they were all pretty crazy in some way or another. The other team had some of the theatre zealots who love public speaking. So our team was pessimistic, but then some decided to really fight for it.

  It was hilarious how it started out like a lawyer show and then ended up like a somewhat organized "Yo Momma" contest, over who could find the strongest points and quotes. There was actually shouting, and the lead presenters were right in front of each other, saying their proof. It got so tense that our teacher let us go outside in the middle and plan the rest of the "battle." There was 10 people standing up in our group, backing up the main speakers. In the end, our group defied the odds and won because Shylock never said he wanted to kill Antonio explicitly, and he lent Antonio money kindly.

  I guess people who weren't involved might have thought we were total dorks, but it sure livened up the class.

  This is the week of homecoming at my school. We've had some pretty good spirit days, except for toga day, of course, that's tough and awkward to dress up for. Today was opposite gender day, so I wore a big t-shirt, baggy shorts that were sagged with my PE shorts as boxers, some vans, and an Ash Ketchum hat. Yep, I wore an old pokemon hat to school, and put it on the side like gangsters around here do. I also brought a bulbasaur talking ball just as a joke. People really liked it, or at least thought it was funny. People were very into this spirit day in particular; kids love to make fun of the opposite gender. Some guys even had fishnets and booty shorts on. It was my job in Leadership to document this week, and today was a lot of fun, looking for crazy outfits. Even some people I wouldn't expect to do this did do it, and the guys looked funny in tight shirts with tissues in them. Maybe some people consider it inappropriate, but its just a joke, and people can get reprimanded if they do anything really bad. A guy did go a little far with his thong showing.

  

  Well, you ask, why on a night were I have plenty of homework, am I hanging out here, which is something I rarely do on nights like this? Well, I have to be at school from 7 in the morning to 10 at night and miss school the entire day for homecoming, so my homework is generally not due tommorow. I'll get some done tonight, for I don't want to compound it over the weekend, but I just felt like actually visiting here for once, to check out things and take a break. I have to go to bed early, though. I thing I will at least get my social studies and math homework done today, if not the English journals, too. Other than that, there is only Spanish home wrk; really, I could do that quickly, too.

  Oh well, I'm off to check out some forums!

  Not Sure if I Like It

  Hmmm, well after having tons of homework/school stuff, and not feeling like going on the Internet too much, I haven't logged onto here in a while. That's not good, but what's worse is that they changed the site around in a fashion I'm not all that fond of. I guess it looks kind of cool, but I thought that the old template or whatever it was went better with the idea of a tv site. This mostly white scheme feels kind of odd to me, but I guess I just have to get used to it.

  In fact, I'm sure that we all have to get used to this new way. It definitely seems hard to access right now, for things are in different places, and somethings still need their bugs to be fixed, as I can already tell with my PMing problem. I've already seen a few complaints on other's blogs when I logged on.

  Well, I guess that this will eventually become easier to access, but it does have a weird set up that I'm not sure if I like yet.

  On other topics, school has been alright, but this week I was a little dizzy half the time, so boring classes and tests seemed worse. I think it being the weekend now may have helped ease this, for the moment.
