Anime wheeeee

Well this is the only thing that came to my mind, was anime since I've been obessed with it lately. Yes I know I've done some of my favorite anime in the past but I really haven't done one on just anime in general. (I had a problem with blogger over the weekend so I couldn't load this so it got posted later.)

So here's the question we've all been waiting for: why is anime so addicting? Well one thing is the storylines aka plot. Why would this effect me? It's because I'm a creative person so I would of course like creative plots like fantasy oriented (sp) things. So anime which comes from japan fits that category because they have alot of in depth storylines. This is the reason why I don't like US cartoons as much. They just aren't that interesting to me as anime because they don't have a creative, indepth plot so I don't like them as much. Therefore because I like creative ideas, if the story is really creative I'll become interested in it and therefore get hooked on it.

So the plot is just one reason of why anime is so addicting but what are the others? Well one would be the way they draw the characters. The japanese have such a rich style of drawing cartoons and because of that it makes me more addicted to anime. Why do I feel this way? Well because we're in a more technogically advanced world more up-to-date anime that is drawn well makes me want to watch it more since it's a pleasure to look at. Also not to mention that it always seems like anime guys are so cute (aka hot) which makes me want to watch it even more because I start to like certain guys on certain anime shows so it thus becomes more addictive.

So in conclusion if an anime has a good plot and the characters are drawn well I will probably become very addicted to it. (hehe ;) Yay! Anime rocks! wheeeeeeeeeee (okay that was random)

Dreams

I've been wanting to do a blog on this one for awhile but other things came to my mind when I thought of what I wanted to write about. Now when most people think about dreams they think of the person being asleep. Then the other option is day dreaming which is of course during the day, but I'm not talking about either of those. I'm writing about right before I fall asleep, a time where I have control over what my mind is thinking about. Putting myself into the storylines of books....movies.....or places where only my imagination can go.

I have long realized that I am a creative thinker which is due to art of course because you have to be creative in order to portray a picture. Also I've read many fantasy books and seen movies which has helped nuture my imagination in that before I fall asleep I make up stories in my head, or in other words I put myself into a story like a book or movie. But why would I do this? I've come to realize that I'm a dreamer or in other words I hope/long for things to happen and by putting myself into a story I sort of fulfill that ambition.

Yet why wouldn't I do this during the day? Why at night? Well I'm at school during the day and I need to concentrate so I don't really have time, but also I've realized that it's easier at night. This is because I'm in my dark room, lying down on a bed with my eyes closed. It's strange but it seems my mind can easily conjure up a story idea. Therefore that's why I do it at night, because it's easier to picture and nothing can interfer with my story (ie school).

So as you can see I enjoy putting myself into stories. One could say that it's a way of fanfiction, I'm just not writing it out but playing it out in my head. And that's what I love.

Spring break.......

When most students think about spring break they jump up and down and go insane because......there's no school. In the past I have felt the same but not this year.......

Yes I do realize this is like one of my past blogs but I feel like writing about this because I'm just in the mood and nothing else is coming to mind. (side note: probably after my school is done for the year I'm going to turn this blog into a discriptive journal and not analytical hehe ;))

Anyway so yes why would I not like spring break this year? The same dreaded answer as always appears right before my eyes;art. ooooh yes the chills, they haunt me. Well my friends would think that I'd love to be able to do art over spring break, but they're wrong. I would refuse to do art over spring break if I had the chance but that is not so. Why would I dislike wanting to do art over spring break? Well the answer is plain and simple: spring break is a break meaning it should have no homework. So you see I want to relax and not draw all day long (because that's what I literally ahve to do if I want to take the AP test), I would rather relax and watch tv or hang out with friends. See I'm lazy because that's what you do over breaks from school is you be lazy, but I can't since I have to draw alot. Therefore my spring break isn't going to be that fun since I'm going to have to slave away all day.

Another thing I've realized is that my hand and neck are going to be aching alot. Why? Because I'll be using my hand alot and my head will be down. So because they're in a different position it's going to cause the muscles to complain. Thus this will take a toll on my mood because if I get pain while drawing I'm going to dislike drawing even more because of the pain.

But anyways I better go draw now and stop exploring on the internet because I really do need to get my homework done. ;)

Art teacher leaving?.........again

Sadly, I've recently found out that my new art teacher is leaving. But why would I be sad? Well let's first look at her personality.

Her personality (I'm not going to say her name for certain reasons) is soo contagious. why? It's because she's always smiling and laughing which in turn makes us smile and laugh. This creates a pleasant atmosphere to draw in which just makes art so enjoyable and a fun class.

Also her ideas for art projects are better than the previous teacher's because they are creative. Why would this make art better? It's because I was so used to my junior high art teacher's creative style, so I connect better this year with my high school art teacher. Also more creative projects help us students because we might get a higher score on the AP test for more interesting ideas. So you can see why creativity definatly helps in art.

Another reason why I'll miss my high school art teacher is because she held alot of after school catch up days. These days were for us to eat food (mainly pizza and popcorn) and catch up on art assignments. I liked these days because we got see more of eachother (fellow students and our teacher) and just have fun and be random. Why would this matter? It's because we spent alot of time together therefore creating bonds which help to hold our class together so that we can all pass the AP test.

We've also had a year to get used to our art teacher and I really don't want to go through that again, but oh well I'll just have to get used to next years teacher. Change can be good right?

FCCLA club state competition

Recently my club participated in the state competition in Provo. (This is why I was gone for a day and a little over half.) Interestingly, because I competed this year I viewed the convention differently. So here we go.

Why did I dislike the beginning of the convention? The overall reason for this would be because I had to compete, and the judges were backed up for half an hour. See because I had to compete the morning was terrible because of the waiting around. Why would this cause a problem? It's because waiting for a long period of time before a speech causes nervousness since I had to speak well in front of judges. Therefore became nervous at the thought of having to speak in front of judges, so this made me want to get it over with. I began longing for the afternoon for when it would be over, but that would not happen for awhile. You see the judges were backed up by half an hour so I was going to present at 11:50 but I got in around 12:30. Why would this matter? It's because I had to wait for another long period of time that increased my nervousness. I just wanted it to be overwith but I couldn't get it overwith because I had to wait. Thus this made my morning there quite an unhappy time.

Yet in contrast as I predicted the afternoon of the convention was quit enjoyable. This was because I didn't have to compete anymore, therefore eliminating my nervousness. But the other thing that was enjoyable was that we got to sit around and basically do nothing. Why was this fun? It's because I got to have a period of relaxation which helped calm me down after I gave the speech. So in other words this made me more relaxed and gave me some time to become myself again. Thus the afternoon was much more enjoyable.

There were many ups and downs during this convention but it was an interesting experience which I'm glad I participated in because well.....I got a silver medal (but it was more like 5th place).
