Believe in me, who believes in you!

It's been far too long since I updated the old girl and for anyone who comes here hoping for new news in the last few months, I'm quite sorry. The point is, I have opened up all sorts of new areas to reach me in (I'm on facebook, as that seems to be the popular option today) and I now have a site on which I'll post reviews and such on.

Otherwise, I'm doing quite well. I'm a month within my second year at Temple and my times keep growing. I'm looking for a costume or materials to make the costume for Phoenix Wright character, Manfred von Karma (Photo is at the bottom of the entry). Why am I cosplaying? Well, I'm alongside TU's anime club and we are all going for a Phoenix Wright halloween this year (for fans of the game, we are calling this "A Turnabout Halloween"). Many characters are setting up and I don't know what is going to happen on that day, but I'm expecting heavy amounts of both the game and parodies of the game. All in all, it sounds like a great day and I'm working through the Phoenix Wright games (all of which are highly recommened, by the way) to have a general idea of the characters.

Also been taking care of being the family representative for my brother. Since my last entry, Tom went to South Korea near the end of summer. He teaches English in a Korean middle school, and will continue to do so until next year or so. As such, I'll take care of getting in contact with him and if any family member or friend wants to reach him, I'll be sure to get word to him. As for him, Tom is having a blast. I would link to his blog, but he has made it invite only.

I've noticed that alot of people have moved on from Xanga (me being no exception here) but I hope everyone is doing good. Things are getting chaotic and I feel that someday, we will all bump into each other again.


Manfred von Karma:

I guess it has been a long time since my last posting.

I have been keeping myself sorta busy, as I wrote four papers within the last two weeks. They may not all be winners, but I write to write.

I have been finding myself under the focus of meditation recently. So far, I have been seeing some things in greater focus, such as seeing every drop of water in the shower. A calm mind is what I aim for, as it allows one to exceed their own skills. I strive to be not only a great pal, but to be one without ill feelings or a guilty heart (which sounds somewhat impossible, but I gotta believe). Most of all, I'm gonna stay true to myself.

In spite of "enlightenment", my wallet is being hit hard with my recent purchases. Can you say, Gundam binge? I got these in recently:
> Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory Complete Collection (traded some stuff for it)
> Zeta Gundam LE boxset ($60)



and I placed an order for the complete series of Gundam Wing today. Got some anime to watch and games to play, lol.

Otherwise, I hope everyone is well. Spring break is almost at hand, which means reviews? Maybe so, if everyone behaves. Until then, so long.
