I've been watching it a lot lately. It's kind of weird. There are all these scenarios that just won't cut it with "live action."
The first series that really started getting me into anime is called Gunslinger Girl. So on iTunes there is a section where you can find tv shows. There's an anime subsection. I was wondering if it were worth it to purchase an episode on one of these choices. I decided to try one series out, and I hoped for the best.
Gunslinger Girl takes place in modern Italy. The government has one newly developed branch that uses these girls to deal with their "dirty work." The girls are all victims of various scenarios and are given a second chance at life. They are given these cybernetic implants and undergo rigorous training known as conditioning. Each girl is given a handler who chooses the amount of conditioning the girl needs. The handlers train the girls to the best of their ability to successfully carry out missions. What makes this anime disturbing is the fact that these girls are young. I'm talking about elementary school young. This shocker is complimented with appropriate music and character designs. The girls have the stereotypical big eyes while the adults have the rather smaller eyes. This was definitely appropriate because it shows the physical differences between the handlers and their cyborgs. The girls are fragile and innocent, yet they assassinate without thinking twice. And their eyes being huge reminds me of the eyes of babies. Apparently the guns are very detailed (I'm not a huge gun person so I really don't have any expertise here).

Yea for choppy reviews! Umm..

So that's how I became so intrigued with anime. I just find it different from a lot of the crap you see on television. I am sick of watching spin offs of Flavor of Love-- even though I do find some of those shows hilarious in the beginning-- and I don't watch anything else. Reality TV can be entertaining but it gets old.

I went on YouTube and finished watching dot hack// Sign. I first saw it on Cartoon Network, but I never finished. They stopped showing it before I was able to watch four full episodes. I liked it but I'd rather it be a shorter series. It just seemed like it kept going around in circles. I don't know... I was disappointed but I still enjoyed watching it.

Well that's what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Physics on Thursday. It's the same as graduation. Eff.

The quartet played in another gig an hour ago at this Business Partnership thing. So we were playing and I was approached by the principal. She's like, "so you're ready to read your speech," and I'm just thinking about what to say. I mean, what do you say? All I remember is stumbling on words. Then she goes on to say, "Well I brought one just in case." I ended up saying 'okay' really softly. It was more like mouthing the word. So I spent a good 15 minutes worrying about how reading this essay. I mean, it's the worst essay I wrote. Yes, I say that all the time, but when you have to present something like this to people who are also in your community, it's kind of nerve wrecking. Monica said my face was priceless...so I'm guessing I did look ridiculous. So we ended 5 after 7, and I spent the whole time panicking. I spoke around 7:40ish after Steve Levy. My mom was like, "Why didn't you take your picture with him."

I was going to write other stuff, but I got lazy.


Oh and the essay was for this scholarship I won. I have no idea how I won it. Apparently my essay was good. I just wish I was told about presenting it. Then I would have been prepared.

So my friend wants her friend to be on the Real World. Yes, I know MTV has been sucky for the past few years, but it would be cool if her friend went on the show. So please sign up for the site and click here
