Weekly Philosophical Discussions
I'm nervous but also excited about doing a presentation on anime today. I know she's not expecting us to be perfect (thank God!) but I still feel pressure to be that way. I just need to have the courage to stand up for what I believe in and it helps to be passionate about your subject. I am hoping that this class will help me feel more comfortable with my audience. I tend to get self-conscious and mess up....sometimes I will even sound sick when my throat closes up. I guess it's a wonder why I would even want to be a speaker...I shouldn't be so hard on myself though. I always get so caught up in what others think of me and I always worry about hurting other's feelings, even though it may be an inevitable part of the life process. I seem to do better with impromptu speeches because you are forced to do a better job without preparation and even though it puts you on the spot, you are at least willing to make more of an effort to do well. Plus, you don't have weeks to worry about the speech that you will be giving. Interesting view on it, huh?
I picked up a new anime from my friend called Soul Hunter. Has anyone heard of it? She said that it's supposed to be humorous, so I'll at least give it a try. It'll be a nice addition to my weekend....maybe I'll watch it Friday night! ^_^
In case none of you heard, Geneon (originally Pioneer) went out of business. They make anime titles including Karin, Fushigi Yugi, Chobits, Rozen Maiden, and a lot of other good ones. Too bad they made some bad financial decisions...if know one else picks up the license to dozens of their new titles, they will cease to be released. Makes me sad. -_-

Let's see...today, all I did was make brownies (which turned out very well by the way!) which were delicious, watched this new anime we got called Green Green and enjoyed the comedy The Bird Cage. The anime was a bunch of fan service, but nonetheless hilarious! Basically, a former all-boys school goes co-ed, and you can imagine how that goes.....imagine a bunch of guys who haven't seen a lot of girls and vice versa. It's definitely different. Some other really good anime series that I recommend: Bleach, Strawberry Panic, Ouran High School Host Club, Disgaea, Escaflowne, Mobile Suit Gundam The 8th MS Team, Naruto, and so many others. I recently received the OVA series of Fushigi Yugi called Oni....it was kind of confusing, but still good. I am also getting Eikoden, a four episode series that comes after the OVA Oni. I need to make a wish list for my birthday, since that is next month. I plan to see Jennifer tomorrow before heading back to school next week...I'm excited about what this school year will bring.

Life is sweet....I just got my birthday present in the mail (It's September 11th for those of you who don't know.) and I was so excited! I got the Fushigi Yugi Oni/OVA series and I am just beginning to watch it. It's not bad at all actually...I'm just curious how it ends. I hope to buy Strawberry Panic too once it is licensed in the U.S. LOVE that series! I have seen the first 20 episodes of Bleach, and man, that series is awesome! I like the spiritual themes in it....I guess you could say it's like a cross between Inu Yasha (?) and Naruto....I guess. Anyway, I would recommend the series to anyone. Naruto is another good one as well. For now...back to watching Fushigi Yugi and enjoying life!
Have a good weekend everyone!
