After a three month dry spell, my little sister is ecstatic to make me post again. Back in college, and with access to as much internet as i can squeeze into a nine month period, I am now behind seven blog posts, and she will work her cute magic and make me feel guilty until I catch up and remain active here. I love her though, and blogging is a fun, great way to relieve stress and talk freely.
So, it is a new year for me, and I have a new class set. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have Professional Writing, and 2D-Art. On Mondays and Wednesdays in the afternoon I have Japanese with the smallest, most energetic Japanese woman alive. She is so funny, and is going to be a great teacher. Tuesdays I only have Democracy and Citizenship at 2 O'clock, so I don't have to wake up early. And lastly, on Thursdays, I have Democracy again, and Judo later in the night. So my schedule is pretty great.
But the best part of all, and I can't stress this enough, is that my best friend and brother in everything except blood is my roommate, and my other great friends are across the hall from me. I am surrounded by a bunch of great guys that I can't wait to spend another year with. Death, as my new roommate, has been accepted quite well, and feels completely at ease. Sol, my ex-roommate and I have still got our great banter, and Dying Youth, my gamer buddy from last year has moved in with Sol. Final Chase has also joined the fray, but he has a room to himself adjacent to Sol and Youth. My social life will flourish this year.
In saying that, I would like to impart some wisdom for anyone in college or school in general. Many people claim that in school, there are good grades, good social life, and good sleep, and that you have to choose between two of the three and there is no middle ground. One of my professors, and I quote, told us that, "is utter bullcrap." He then proceeded to give this tip. If you do feel that you cannot juggle the three, give up sleep. Ask someone ten years from now what their favorite classes were, and they can give you a few names, even the professors who taught them. Ask them some of their favorite friends, or parties, or events, and they can likely tell you about the awesome yearly foam party or slip and slide events. But ask them their best nap, and they probably won't be able to give an exact moment. So, for those who are worried, I hope that eased your stress a little. Coffee more than makes up for a little less sleep than usual.
Lastly, I just want to say, Anime holds a special place in my heart. It is wonderful programming, and generally wholesome, albeit sometimes slightly sexual. I know some are worse than others, but for the most part I watch fairly clean anime. College is a great time for Anime. An episode or two between classes, a reward for completed homework or assignments, or just to relax. For non-anime watchers, or people who think I am a nerd, I suggest you try a few. Look up genres, and styles, try one or two before you knock it. And for those who watch anime and need suggestions, or just want to talk anime, feel free to comment, I will try to respond to everyone. Ace out!

Anime, Spartacus, and My Nintendo 64.
A lot is going on for me right now. I have to register for my next year of classes at the University. I have to get a job and living place for the summer, and I am making and maintaining a lot of new friendships. College has been interesting, to say the least. My favorite class so far has been Greek Mythology, and my least favorite had to be CSC 101. I am a tech guy. It's what I do. I love computers, electronics, and the like. It is almost an insult to my intelligence to be "taught" how to use word, when most of this generation has been using it since it came out, to write papers, and play around with flyers, if you ever had a lawnmowing company. I look forward to my next year.
On to the meat of this post. I have a lot more going on for me than that, just in the nitty gritty free time. My little sister wants me to watch Fate/Zero. Death, my brother, wants me to watch Gurren Lagann, Nisekoi, and a few others, and my roomate wants me to watch Spartacus, Dexter, and Darker than Black. Not to mention I just bought Quest 64 for my old Nintendo 64, and I am going insane. I feel bad for letting the little one down, my roommate knows where I sleep, and Death, being my brother, has some high priority in the list of anime I watch. And I just remembered my friend Dying Youth wants me to finish Final Fantasy VIII. I am going insane. I want to keep everyone happy, but I also want to have a little down time to play the new game I bought. It is a shame. But I am in no way resentful of them. I appreciate all of them for showing me such great things. I just want to give a shout out to all of them, that I will eventually complete this to-do list. I swear it. Ace out!

Valentine's Day Gushings
I love this holiday. Even when I was lonely and never thought I would be engaged, in love, and happily entangled in the arms of my fiancee as I play Call of Duty with her. It was a fun holiday to me. Even when other people were happy and loving in front of me, I was still happy for them. Some people say it is Single Awareness Day, or Celebration, and my little sister so wonderfully called it, but I think that neither is appropriate. If you are single for the rest of the days of the year, plus on extra day if it is a leap year, then this one special day shouldn't be any more painful than the rest. And while I understand that for some people it is worse to be single than others, I watched several of my single friends, who have never once complained about being single get super down yesterday. It always disappoints me. Because when I was single, I got cards from all my friends, even the ones who where in relationships, because when I was single, no one felt guilty about giving me a card. And chocolates. Gotta love the chocolate. I always celebrated this holiday happily, and never really got upset.
BUT!! Now that I am engaged to a beautiful woman, getting along happily in college, and have no worries about feeling even a little alone anymore, although the cards from others has disappeared, the love from one person to make this holiday even better makes me happier than I can say. To know that I am loved by anyone on Valentine's Day makes me feel special. My roommate even admitted he loves me yesterday. In a platonic, bromance sort of way of course. Valentines day isn't about intimate love, or couple's love. To me, it is about the love you have for family, friends, and the people around you. My best friend, brother, and lifelong pal Death the Kid, as I will call him, texted me yesterday to wish me a happy Valentine's Day. I wished him and his girlfriend the same. My little sisters, real and honorary, were wished the same and wished it back. My roommate woke up to a text from his little sister and it made his day. Anybody single or taken on this holiday should know that they can celebrate any way they want. The single people have an awesome advantage that we couples do not have. Their wallets usually go towards their own pursuits. Which is nice. My fiancee and I both spent money on each other. but the strain on a wallet is never easy for a college kid. In the long run, everything is worth it, and honestly, if I had not spent money on my fiancee, maybe my little sisters, or Death. Maybe even my roommate Sol. Either way, happy Valentine's Day, and I love all of you! Ace out!

Returning to the Fray
College life is complicated and distracting. That is the best way to describe it. I love college more than any other form of school I have gone to, although my procrastination made my first semester a little bit sketchy. My grades were lower than I am used to, not because my comprehension was low, but rather, my assignment completion was low. I owe my little sister an apology. I was supposed to blog every time she did. But I went home for Christmas break, without internet. Then when I cam back, I got lost in the fray again. And I was suppose to blog last night, but I got distracted. That is a story for the latter half of the post though. On to the big stuff. Not much has happened to me lately, in terms of interesting things occurring in MY life, but things have been happening to others. My fiance goes to a generic Christian college, which would be fine... Except their policy is ridiculously strict and she might be in trouble for visiting me on the weekends. There is no confirmation yet, but someone in her ring of friends may have done the lowest, dirtiest, most back-stabby thing ever, and told the school she has been visiting me on the weekends. We are in fact sleeping together, but not in the sex way. Actual sleep. I love sleep, and having someone cuddle up to you is wonderful. We are not sexually active, but that doesn't matter to her school. If they find out she is even in my room at night, she will be put on probation at her school, and her college life may be ruined. It takes a lot to make me even mildly upset and I am livid. The fact that one of her friends, who doesn't even know the whole story would take matters into her own hands about the properness of my fiancee's actions, and knowingly make a report that could ruin her life makes me sick. I am furious. The school's policies are the school's policies, and although I do not personally agree, it isn't like she and I are prancing about naked singing songs about our lovemaking. We discreetly and secretly have weekend visits that are clean and nice. And some person thinks they know better than anyone else and has taken it upon themselves to ruin her life in college by potentially getting her kicked out. Keep in mind this is all speculation. I do not even know if she has gotten in trouble for that, or something else, but it is painfully clear that her school needs to talk to her about something, and seeing as how she is a fairly good student, we are both fairly certain it is not going to be a simple matter.
On a lighter note, I have started watching a new anime, and I can only say it is probably one of my favorite long running anime ever. around 200 episodes of pure awesome. I am talking about Reborn. It is a wonderfully crafted show, about the mafia, and a kid who is a mafia boss but does not know it. He is shot in the head by a baby who uses special bullets. It makes his last desire become a burning passion, and his limitations are removed. It is a very good anime, and should be watched.
I just bought a new game. That is the reason I did not post last night. I have been sucked into it's ridiculously entrancing and wonderfully innovative gameplay. Romance Dawn, the new one piece game for 3DS. Wonderful game. I will not ruin any of the game, nor will I give spoilers, but I will say the battle system lets you string attacks together in unique combos and is quite new. It has taken up most of my free time the past few days.
So, as usual, I will leave on a high note. Wish my fiancee luck, and have a good time. Ace out!

A Lot has Happened Lately.
As the title suggests, this post is late in coming, and a lot has happened since my last, very short blog. I proposed to my girlfriend, now fiance, and I could not be happier. My classes have been going well, although GEP is basically a glorified orientation. My professor takes it way too seriously, and I think she has it in for freshman, seeing as how she has made us do more in that class that I have had to do in any other college class so far. Mass Media and Society was not as fun as I thought it would be, but I have a decent grade in it at least. My little sister has been pestering me the past week, (and I use pestering lovingly, little one) to blog again, although I am still somewhat self conscious about my blogging ability.
I really do not have a lot to share that is extremely interesting, but I do have a fun story. My best friend and I got to hang out for the first time in a very long time, and we had both been unable to sleep for about 72 hours each, meaning we were so tired it wasn't even funny. But when we finally attempted to go to sleep (at about 8 o' clock in the morning) our friend, we shall call him the profitable guide, because that is his playstation username, called, and we ended up deciding to go over to his house. And thus, we stayed up even longer, got even more tired, and decided to attempt a small round of call of duty. We both gave up very quickly, and even though it was a short weekend together, it was one of the best times I have had in a long time.
I do have some Pokemon related news. Because I have a slightly short attention span at times, I generally get my Pokemon to level 100 through various methods that involve Experience Shares, Lucky Eggs, and trades. But I am proud to declare the leveling of my first, entirely natural, non-enhanced level 100 pokemon. A flogress that I have raised since level 1, and battled long and hard with. I have EV trained it to make it especially fast, and most targets are wiped out by its dazzling gleam. Nerds out there understand.
And Lastly, I am excited to say, I am about to take finals, and soon I will be going home for Christmas break. I will get to be with my family for a month, and I am excited to get back in contact with my friends, family, and especially my little sister. I plan on making arrangements to come to school to see everyone and hopefully have a reunion with everyone.
On a completely unrelated note to everything here, I have to say, I just found out that cheeseburger Pizza is the absolute best pizza I have ever had, and I hope to have it many more times. Ace out!

Hurray!!!!!
I just spoke to the father of my girlfriend of three years. I asked his permission to ask his daughter to marry me. I could not be happier, and I can honestly say that is all I want to blog about tonight. Wish me luck, and thank you for reading!!!

Back again!
Hey everybody! Back to blogging again, thanks to my little sister. She and I have this mutual agreement. She reminds me to blog, and I blog, for fear of her tiny wrath. So, I am in college now, have a decent laptop, and am ready to face the world. I am nervous, and more than a little apprehensive. My roommate is awesome though, and I think I have made a great deal of good friends already. Shout out to Sol-Helios. That is the name of my roommate. Check out his deviant art. Anyways, things are getting good, and life is interesting. I have tried twitter, not sure how I feel about it. I doubt it will be fruitful, but hey, try everything once right? I am going to watch anime and horror movies all night, and probably hit starbucks for some espresso tomorrow. I have 8:35 class tomorrow, but it is GEP and a mass media class. Nothing too hard. Electronic arts is where I am majoring, and I think it is the perfect field. Very lucrative too. Not that I am in it for the money.
So, I guess this is decent for my first post after a very long break, so I guess I could end this with a question, so I can get a following. What is your favorite anime or scary movie? Maybe a scary anime? Personally, I have taken a liking to a newer anime called Shingeki no Kyogin. Attack on Titan for the crunchyroll users. Ace out!
