A good song by the Sheepdogs, but that's besides the point.

  You know how occasionally I post about my love for the series Detective Conan? This is one of those, but focused on the soundtrack albums. I have downloaded a few of them myself; Super Best, Super Best 2, both the discs for Selection Best, and a few opening/ending songs. I never get tired of them. A lot of the songs are very saxxy (see what I did there?) and calm for a mystery series, and they fit every scene perfectly! The song that usually plays when a culprit confesses? Spot on with the mood. The song that represents the moments of suspicion and tension? Perfect. Conan and Ran's themes? Pretty great. 'The Great Detective of The West'? It really fits the character it's used for! I was actually just listening to that one. Also, if we're talking Openings and Endings, Nazo ( Mystery) by Miho Komatsu and STEP BY STEP from Ziggy are my current favourites. Gotta keep taking sips of those lukewarm teas (ugh.)! Too bad I forgot to download the full version of STEP BY STEP... I wonder if Soundcloud does downloads... Ha! It does! Eureka! ( at least, it has a third party download site.)

  Katsuo Ohno band ( the ones behind the BGM in the anime) is so good.

You know the drill, You wake up. Turning off the alarm, you get dressed and check the weather, and guess what? No snow day! Darnit, maybe next time...

  This morning it decided to snow a monstrous amount during the night. So monstrous, I wouldn't even be surprised if all that trudging through the snow wet my socks and made my feet itchy ( It's coming, folks... I can feel it...)! Anyway, the bus still ran, and got stuck halfway up Burnett and I had to walk back to Robson to get my dad to drive me. Thanks, packing snow, you're my hero. Good thing apparently a lot of people were late, because my lateness won't be written down and it won't tarnish my attendance record! Gosh, I hate days like this...

  Guess what????? Another mandatory post!! WHOA.

  So, we just watched a TED Talk called The 3 A's of Awesome or something. A dude was talking about how his life started going downhill and he picked it up by making a blog which got famous. I hope someday my blog gets that renowned...

  I agree with his 3 A's ( Attitude, Awareness, and... the one I can't remember. Hooray!), and I must admit that when it ended I was almost ready to clap ( Not because I was happy it ended, though) with the audience. He was pretty funny at points, too.

It's bring all glitchy (again!)!

  Anyway, it's a 20-minute independent thing about a choosable topic. I don't really know what to write...

  You know what? Here. As much as I love grapes, I hate, hate, hate, HATE when a piece of the stem gets stuck into the beautiful, crisp, round fruit! I'm eating some right now, and I can't count how many times the stem has broken off into the grape goodness. It's easy to take care of, but it's so annoying sometimes.

  Grapes, why hath thou forsaken me??? ( I just finished my last one oops)

  P.S. I actually really love grapes.

  P.P.S. I'm just doing this to fill up time.

  P.P.P.S. This is very Andy Griffiths style.

  P.P.P.P.S. I'm wondering now if this would be the new 'I Like Round Things' my teacher talked about once?

  P.P.P.P.P.S. With a keen eye for grapes one fruit will prevail.

  P.P.P.P.P.P.S. I should not be laughing as hard as I am at that last one.

  P.P.p.P.P.P.P.S. Will the teacher even see this?

1.   Should I consider this a long or a short post?
   
2.   I'm longingly staring at the cookies in my lunchbag but I'll wait till second block
3.   Thanks for the bullets, Weebly ( I guess you aren't such a screwup after all!)
4. I have more art to post today (hooray)

• What?
• The grass on this blog layout looks like it was done in photoshop. Thanks, Weebly
• I have seven minutes left

• Do you ever just wonder about IBS

1. No Signal
2. does ANYONE look at these?
3. I wish I could be like that girl who goes to school late just to post the late slips on her wall
4. how does writing two bullets waste another minute
5. Toilet parties at Shinichi's place

  I can't read the timer anymore because it's too dark ( Not like I could see it clearly anyway hahahahahaha poor eyesight).

  I need to go see the Optometrists again.

I'm really annoyed that I have to write a message to my 'future self' now because I don't like all this mandatory stuff! Too much, Ms. Wood! Too much!! I'm also a little angry because having to do this embarrasses me because it reminds me of like, fourth grade. Elementary was a terrible time for me, okay? Embarrassing. It reminds me of the terrible crap I used to draw. Thanks, 9-year-old me. Thanks for ruining my self-esteem.

  Whatever. I probably won't be using this site after this course, so, hey, butthead future self, please don't be unemployed and in debt, please. You're going to make me cry. Remember that post you saw a long time ago that showed a picture of some part of the news where they talked about the least needed jobs? Remember how architect, artist, and all that artsy stuff was in there?  They're so, totally wrong. Teach them that they made a big mistake putting the big art industries that design posters and promote businesses, and create the buildings the businesses stay in in that list.  Become successful in one of the things you want to do. If you still want to be a detective or someone in that field of business but haven't done it yet and know you can do it, start doing it! For the love of the universe, nothing's worse than people who give up on their dream job. That's all.

  We have to write something about what we want out of a future job!!! Aaaaaaahhh! This is weird considering we were just watching a really depressing documentary about unemployment ( I'm not so sure I'll be able to land a job anymore... next chance I get I'm moving the Luxembourg.).

  However, I don't think my field will be effected by the unemployment many university students are facing because they all want to be teachers or something. There's never a shortage of graphic artists or computer programmer jobs, is there? People still need others to figure out murders and stuff, right? Let's try and see a computer do THAT.

  Now, I have no idea how to use the Canadian Labour Market Info site (plus I'm eating my sub), I don't quite know how to answer the next bullet, but it just tells me to write down what careers I'm interested in ( That should be pretty obvious, as I've stated them several times.).

  I did not find any governing bodies wanting my job field ( although there probably are somewhere, who knows?

  Can I get experience to set me apart from my classmates? Yes, by going  to College instead of University.

  I can figure out stuff like HTML and computer coding to get me into a computer programming job, and digital painting ( which I already do) to get into an arts thing. 

  That's all I want to write about.

It's a work period in Tech because the teacher's away. Who woulda thought? Also, who would've thought I'd have to disable Grammarly because it was annoying the heck outta me and changing my indentations as well as blocking my view? Not like I needed it, though.  Anyway, I borrowed my dad's cell phone this morning to take some "better" photos of the petit I recieved. They may still not be in the most professional level of photography today, but they're definitely better than that joke of a 3DS camera! I'll post a few later in the entry.

  Before that, holy crap, this class is loud! So many chatterboxes! Just because we have a substitute doesn't mean you can just use your outside voice and disregard all manners.

  Lastly, I wrote more for my English section, so that'll be up soon. I hope you enjoy my entirely crap-- wait, I mean totally alright writing style and stuff like that. Haha... Remember, leave me a suggestion and I'll definitely attempt to fix something or incorporate ideas in there somewhere!


  That's all from me, so enjoy some pictures after the break!

Yesterday I went home feeling something good was going to happen ( That's every day, by the way), and it did! Being an insane fan of the Manga series Detective Conan, a while back I went looking for merchandise. Now, I am also quite interested with Good Smile Company, mainly because their figures are extremely detailed despite being so small. They have a series of the smallest, most detailed figures I've ever seen called Nendoroid 'puchi' petit (ねんどろいどぷち), and I found out they made one of the main character a year back in celebration of the 16th movie revealing of Detective Conan! Anyway, I bought it ( along with the book it came with, volume 75 of the series. Too bad I can't read Japanese...), and yeah, it took a few weeks, but as I said: It definitely came! I took a few pictures as well, so I'll post them in this blog entry.

As with most of Good Smile's Petit series, He's absolutely gorgeous! Whatever plastic they used ( I believe ABS, since it said that on the bottom of the box), it feels so great! The colour they used for his skin looks exactly like shortbread cookie dough after hardening... I wouldn't recommend trying to eat him, though! 

  He also sparkles a bit when met with light from certain angles, which I thought was actually really funny! Also, on the paint job, overall the detail ( Like in most of GSC's figures) is spectacular! The only paint bleeding I've observed so far was on his right leg where the shoe joins his sock, which isn't a problem for me.

  The only thing that disappoints me is the unfortunate reality that the glasses are formed to the fringe. Oh well, no glasses-less Conan for me...

  Oh, oh! As well, if you guys are into murder mysteries, lots of blood, and manga, I highly suggest the series! Don't be fooled by the main character looking like a child, though ( He's actually 17, but I won't spoil anything else). It's actually a 16+ rated series! And, the movie this figure was promoting was The Eleventh Striker. It was so fun to watch! Lots of action.

  Anyway, that's it for my fawning, see you guys next entry!

  I'm going to laugh.

  The teacher just told us to make a blog entry about who we want to be when we grow up or something.


  Anyway, I guess I'd want to be the person people come to when they need to ask for advice and stuff, I want to be that person friends come to so that they can feel better about themselves, laugh, and have a good time (as long as it isn't through bathroom stall walls.). In 20 years from now or so, when we're all 30-somethings, I want my friends to look back and say, " Man, where would I ever have ended up if it wasn't for [Pepto]?" Who wants to be the person who is blamed for ruining someone's life? I'd rather be a person that people think highly of, respect.


 I'm rambling on now, so that's it for the mandatory entry!

  Does everyone like my story so far? I hope the guy being anonymous at the moment doesn't annoy you! In fact, I was thinking of taking down naming suggestions, so if you have an idea ( That's appropriate and an actual name. I had an experience with a character with Rice Thing once. Not a road you want to go down, trust me.), write it down in the comments of this post!
