Alright, so first up, sorry my promised return never happened. I guess I've just lost interest with most of the stuff which used to keep me here - I don't really watch any of the TV shows I used to like anymore, I've somewhat lost my attraction to forums as a means of passing my time, and I just generally feel like I'm out of touch with the community here.
But that may change soon. I've started getting into anime recently, largely thanks to the release of anime adaption of Sengoku Basara, Capcom's somewhat bizarre but nonetheless excellent video game series based on Japan's Sengoku period (unfortunately only out in Japan; the US adaption, Devil Kings, removes all the direct Segoku references). Incidentally, the anime is awesome, particularly the theme tune. Anyway, I plan to start contributing for Sengoku Basara here on TV.com soon, and if that goes well, I might do the same for some of the other anime I'm watching. No promises, since my time is rather precious these days, but we'll see.
So, in other news...
AS Levels are coming up. The next big exams after the GCSEs I mentioned last past in the UK for those of you who don't live here (ie, I imagine, most of my ever-diminishing readership). I've actually tried revising for these - it worked well for the two Maths modules I sat in January, which is good. I'll need the excellent marks, though, if I wanted to get into Oxford or Cambridge - particularly to compensate for my relatively poor GCSE marks (well, poor by the standards of my school, which is what I fear I'll be judged by). I'm starting to wonder if it's hopeless because of that... but I can't give up. So... wish me luck I guess. ^^;
Speaking of anime, also, I tried my hand at some fanfiction lately, for the anime Lucky Star. I'm... well, my feelings towards it are a little ambivalent. I'm told in reviews it's brilliant, and that I should hurry up and finish it, but... well. I'm wondering if it's for me. Between you and me, there are times when I re-read it and feel it's so pretentiously-written that I should be ashamed of myself. Plus I'm suffering from some major writer's block... ah well. We'll see. Updates on this will follow. If any of you happen to be interested in reading what I've done so far, my pen-name on FanFiction.net, where I uploaded it, is Yamiken. If I can be bothered, I'll get you a direct link later. ![]()
What else? Oh right, apparently I'm a Latin Hitler
This is based on a reading of the Cicero speech I did in class once... I'll do it again at home and make a video for you guys some time if you like. Come to think of it, screw you guys, I'll do it anyway.
(6 months later: Crap... still haven't done that Cicero video...)
There's probably more to put... but I'll leave it there. If any of you want to talk to me, please do add me on MSN. I'll probably forget to check comments on here for ages.
... that said, do comment anyway. xP
Bye for now.
