YEAH. Take that, physics! 
I was very very worried, but I have all As and Bs, and my GPA is a 3.7. Finally!

This joy is slightly marred by the fact that I have ANOTHER bad cold, which is like the third one in two months. I have to go to a birthday party today, too....but I'm feeling better than yesterday, at least, so I should be better tomorrow. 

SO HOW ARE YOU FLIST. *radiates happiness*
 

Okay so this weekend I finally finished two shows: Gurren Lagann and Toward the Terra. Both of them were awesome an both of them made me cry. D: Spoilers for both series because the LJ cut isn't working for some odd reason.

Okay, so Terra first. Basically, the entire last episode can be summarized as "Rocks fell and everyone died." Literally. Everyone except for Physis and Tony! So in effect, ALL of my favorite characters died. Even Leo! What the heck, Leo, couldn't you have made a shield or somethng to protect that lady? Though it was sweet that she didn't care if he was a Mu or not. Aww.
Also, I TOTALLY CALLED that everyone would die except for Tony and that Tony would be the new Soldier, because it was kind of obvious. I did think Physis would die but the Elders were too awesome to let her.
ANYWAY. Okay, so Matsuka. Tony, I'm mad at you for killing him, but it was kind of inevitable because he was the one Mu on Keith's side. :\ I was not liking Keith until Matsuka pulled him out of that....dream lake thing. I felt terrible for him then, because first Shiroe, then Sam (SAM *screams*), and then Matsuka? But it was Matsuka's death that pushed him to defy the Grand Mother and save the Mu and the humans, so. Yeah.
ALL of that scene in the end when Jomy and Keith and Tony were sitting there with the rocks and the stabbed-ness and the dying...that was sad. D: And then Tony got the headphones! And the part with the Pandora's Box metaphor, and Keith dying alone.
Last thing: Did they have to kill off the Elders!? I mean, I realized when Zel said they would need to use all of their power to get the canary kids out, but...Harley. >:
So that means that all of the Older generation of Mu are dead, and all but four of the Type Blue Mu are dead too. Geez. AND Keith, Matsuka, Shiroe, and Sam are dead too.
The shot of the reformed Terra at the end kind of made things better. A little.

So I watched TTGL about a million years after everyone else, so I'm completely late on this, but I have to say that I really liked it a LOT. It was just fun!  :D
I watched the finale of the Gurren Lagan dub on Sci Fi this morning, and can I just say that everything inthe first five minutes was made of pure awesome? Everyone got their own Lagann-y gunmen. And combined them to make one the size of a galaxy. A galaxy. BIGGER than a galaxy! And the Anti-Spiral's ship used galaxies for shuriken!
Before I say anything else, the last episode with Kamina waking everyone up from their dreams made me cry. Especially Yoko. And Viral's dream! His wife and kid!
 And Kittan's death, too, though I was also laughing because he was laughing about how awesome it was. Yoko has a kiss of death.
Anyway, the part where Dayaka was yelling that the Anti-Spiral leader wouldn't lay a hand on earth because his amazing wife was down there while swinging the leader's ship arouuuund and arouuuund was great. I love Dayaka. <3
Other highlights included Boota, the container of more Spiral Energy than even Simon, and LordGenome's head. He was cool. AND THEN HE TURNED INTO A DRILL.
I can't really say how cool it was because it's just repeating a bunch of stuff that's already been said. I will say that everything from the wedding to the very end was kind of depressing but still awesome. I did like seeing everyone (except for Leeron, of course) all old because that doesn't happen a lot in anime. Everyone usually just stays the same. 

Okay, that's it. I liked both of the series very very much. <3 Let's see, now I'm working on Gundam Wing, Soul Eater, Antique Bakery, and I'm gonna get started on Captain Harlock. And at some point I'm going to resume reading One Piece after a break of a...really really long time. I think I was in the Alabaster (Alabasta?) arc, and I have no idea how long ago that was. A long time because Robin hadn't even joined the crew yet. So. I'm wondering if I should start over to refresh my memory, but that might just take even longer. Hmm.

I didn't go to community service all last week because I was sick, but this week I have to go three days in a row. Joy. OTL It's not so bad, though. I like a lot of the residents. It's not as depressing as I thought it would be. They do a lot of fun stuff there. Like tea parties and bowling! Bowling with big rubber bowling balls and REALLY light pins. :D

A few other people were mad that she turned back into a duck at the end, but wasn't that what her conversation underwater with Fakir was about? They were talking about how it was okay for them to go back to their real selves. Duck's real self is a duck. She's said it throughout the series! I would've been happy if she had been able to stay as a girl, but that's not the point. The point is that something as small and seemingly useless as a duck accomplished so much, and won! She was able to break through her normal role as a tiny and fragile animal and be a freakin' princess. That's awesome.
Also, I think it said at the end that Fakir was writing a story for her, right? I'm betting he could write her into a girl again so they can be together. :D

Ah, sorry for going on about it for so long. I just love that series! When I was watching it I was crying through the whole last episode. It was so awesome!

I still feel sick today, but it's getting better-ish. Now that I've watched Princess Tutu I have nothing to do, though. :\ I guess I'll go watch Gundam Wing or Soul Eater or something.

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERYN. It's

bangflip

I got the Producers soundtrack on my iPod! I've been singing it all week. Man, I love those songs. Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick are really good at singing. <3

Hmmmm. My cousin graduated yesterday. Only two more years until I'm sitting there in a gigantic stadium graduating, too. Geez, high school is going by so fast. >: Seems like only a few weeks ago that I was in 8th grade hanging out with all of my friends. So much has changed since then. Different friends, different hairstyle, different interests...well, my interests aren't SO different, but they've definitely changed. I wonder how much I'll change in the next two years....

I finished American Gods! Man, that was cool. I liked the twist thing they had going on at the end. Fun! :D So now I'm reading the last of the Night Angel trilogy, which is going to be sooo awesome! C: Very exciting.

I really want to watch Beauty and the Beast. Hmmm. Too bad I don't have it on DVD. Maybe I'll go watch another Disney movie instead.

HOW AM I TWO DAYS LATE ON THIS
RAIDEN!
*SCREAMS WITH EXCITEMENT*

 

Geez, I just love this icon! <3 So cute.

So this is the last weekend I will ever have as a sophomore. After this week, I'll be a junior! Tomorrow is the rest of our nine weeks exams (I have Math, English, and Chem) and Tuesday we find out if we have to come to school for the rest of the week. Our school has a weird system of absences and grades, and what you have of each determines whether you take your semester/final exams. If you have 3 absences and an A in the class, you can skip that class's exam. 2 absences and a B, 1 absence and a C, but anything lower than a C or higher than 3 absences and you gotta take the exam unless your teacher loves you and exempts you from it (like my English teacher did last time, I had an A in the class and....5 absences? She said that it didn't matter if I took it, since I'd get an A and nothing would happen to my grade. Woo!).

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are half days, two exams each. I WOULD have to take them all, but because of the swine flu scare and stuff, all absences taken after the 4th of May don't count towards exams. Sooo that means that all the absences I had recently because of me being sick don't count! Which means I might be able to skip a few of them. I'd get to skip AP anyway, because you get exempt if you took the big AP exam. :D I'll end up taking Math and Chem, though, probably Spanish and Humanities, too. I guess we'll see!

I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman right now! Man, his stories are messed up. I really like it, though! All the mythology references make me smile. :D Once I finish that, I have to read the last book in a trilogy (Night Angel series, anyone heard of it? It's good!), and then I'm gonna re-read the Harry Potter books before the movie comes out. And THEN I'm FINALLY gonna read the latest Artemis Fowl book, which has been on my shelf for about 3 months. I haven't been able to read it because I've been reading other things.

I'm gonna go watch Spiderman now. Later!
