Viynl Tiolet Paper is Good for Your Heart

One: Here's this great Facebook group you should check out: [link] (XD)
Two: Men are waffles and women are spaghetti. For reasons that I do not fully understand.
Three: Nabari no Ou is a very good anime.

Number one does not need an explanation. Other than you should go check it out.

Number two involves a story. Once upon a time, in a far-away land, there lived a boy. He was a strange boy, with a strange name. His name was "Canon", and he spent his time amusing himself with a girl named "Emily" in his Governzment class.
One day in this so-called "Government" class, the teacher gave the students the entire hour to work on a study guide. Many of the students turned their desks around to face one another. On this day, so did a young girl called "Courtney".
Oh, screw it-- It takes way too long to write this way. Basically, Canon came over to talk, and Emily told us that men are waffles and women are spaghetti, according to a book Holleigh read (or something). We discussed this for a bit (I think in the end women were hot dogs, and I don't remember what men were), and we came to this conversation:
Canon: There is not one person who does not like bagels. Do you like bagels?
Emily: Yes.
Canon: *turns to girl across the aisle* Do you like bagels?
Brittany: What?!
Canon: It's not an innuendo. Just answer the question.
Brittany: Oh! Yeah.
Canon: See?
Me: Well, now it's going to my goal for the day to find someone who doesn't like bagels!
Canon: You won't find anyone.
Me: Oh, yes I will!
Canon: No, you won't. It's like donuts. You will never find one person who does not like donuts.

Haha. WELL! I showed him (or, I will on Monday)! At a hockey game Friday, I asked my brother, and he doesn't like bagels! XD Bwahaha.

Number three. Okay, a few months ago I went to the mall with a friend, and in FYE a magazine caught my eye: the cover featured CLAMP's Syaoran and Sakura from Tsubasa! I was all, "*hooheehooheehoohee* I NEED THIS." (*cough* That actually had very little to do with the rest of this story.) Anyway, in the magazine there was this little mini-poster of some anime. I had not watched the anime, but I put it on my wall, to remind myself to watch it, and because it looked cool. It had two boys sitting on a porch eating ice cream, with the text: "The ninja world is at war. Whatever." (Though I swear, I thought the second boy was a girl! I still do!) It's been there for... A few months. I kept forgetting to watch this anime. But then last week a friend of mine stopped by my desk in Gov (all interesting things happen there!) and said, "I won DVDs of this anime, it's really good. Do you want to borrow it?" I said sure, and he told me the title: "It's called Nabari. Have you heard of it?" ME: "It sounds familiar, but I don't think so."
He brought the DVDs on Thursday.
I'm sure you've all already figured it out by now, but it was the anime on that poster!
"There is no such thing as coincidence. There is only Hitsuzen ('the inevitable')."
So I guess for some reason, I was meant to watch this anime. XD
But seriously, it is good.

If you actually read all that, I love you. Here, have a funny video:

I saw her on TV today, Maria Bamford. She's great! And sounds exactly like Bart Simpson, no?

My Favourite Things: Second Edition

By the way, here is the link to that video I mentioned before.
So like I mentioned yesterday, I ordered the first disc of Kino no Tabi on Amazon for a supa-low price.
HERE IT IS.
It's the same thing Nellie bought at a dollar store a few months ago.
I HAD NO IDEA. :O (I'm telling you, I was so surprised when I opened it! XD)


To the left is the DVD case, partially in the series box (now I need the three other discs to put in the box!). In the middle is a miniature licence plate that says Hermes (which, by the way, is pronounced " 'Elemes ". H is silent.). Then to the right is the awesome Kino picture-book I bought on eBay a few months ago! Which is a little less awesome than I was hoping for when I bought it. It's mostly Japanese text, with few pictures. =_= (It did come with a soundtrack, though!)

The Sun Shines Brighter... And "Life Goes On"

So I sit down to write a new post for my blog, and an hour later, I'm still downloading icons for my blog. XD But I get so excited about that! Which one to use, which one to use? I found a bunch of Kino no Tabi icons!
Speaking of Kino no Tabi, I've been going through another (not quite obsessive) Kino phase again. :D
Last Tuesday I bought the first disc of Kino no Tabi on Amazon for TWO DOLLARS. (Plus shipping.) Which is amazing for anime. Then I log into deviantART and what do I see in my inbox? One of the artists I watch (I love her art) drew herself in Kino garb. In the artist comments she said that she now owns a hat just like Kino's, and goggles.
I didn't even know she liked Kino, so I was surprised enough as it was! (But she gave me the link to the hat on Amazon, and I want. I'll have to save up, though. ;) It's a bit expensive.)

Anyway!
Yesterday was a very interesting day, and today was a very good day!
Let's see, a list... Uhmm... Ooh! Tooaya's doing a LiveStream! ...>.>;; Sorry.
Never mind. I don't feel like writing a list. XD But yesterday I was asked out and Plushie came to youth group with me and Zach acted like his weird ol' self ("I thought you were trying not to scare him!" "Did I say that? Did I say that?!" XD), and Plushie tried on my winter coat. Which I still can not get over! XDD I need to get a photograph of that...

Then today I woke up early, took a shower, submitted Violet's application to Academy of Heroes (6 minutes after admissions opened, but I don't think she was accepted v.v), read my Bible a little bit... I think that did it right there. I've never read my Bible in the morning before, but I think that's what made my day so great!

Memerymemememe.

I've done this before, on deviantART. I saw that Andrea posted one she did on MySpace, then Plushie did one on his blog, and now I am doing it again! It is FUN.'

1. If Angel played in a movie, what kind of character would they play?
The evil mastermind, of course. Or the girl who gets the everybody-thinks-he's-hot-but-Courtney-is-secretly-disgusted guy.

2. In a race between you, Andrea (Muse) and Kassandra, who would win?
I don't think I've ever seen either of them run.

3. If Fetus and Nellie teamed up, what would they most likely accomplish?
D: THE HORRORS.

4. If Chelsie and Andrea (Muse) were locked in the same (really small) room for longer than a day, what would most likely happen?
Together, the powers of their imagination would have manifested into something so dynamic, it became tangible, and as soon as I open the door to the room, a dragon would fly out and go wreak havoc in the world, under their control.
In other words, I will do all I can do to keep those two apart.

5. Can Rachel be bad influence?
OH HELLS YEAH.
XD Sorry. She can also be a good influence.

6. Do you miss Zach?
Hey, wow, I do, actually.

7. What musical instrument would Nellie most likely play?
FRENCH HORN.
O.o First thing that came into my head. (I probably said that because I have two friends who play French horn.) Something brass.

8. Do you think Donald is a virgin?
...

9. What is or would be a good nickname for Genaro?
"Chocolate". REVENGE FOR "VANILLA". D:< (Actually, that wouldn't work, since my nickname is Coco. ;P)

10. What would you do if Fetus and Cody were going out?
"Oh, come ON, Fetus! Must you corrupt ALL the nice young men?!"

A bunch of my friends (Amber, Rachel, Plushie) went with their youth group to see To Save A Life. I'm really jealous, 'cuz I really wanted to see that movie. It looks like something that would be really meaningful to me.
