Today is the last day of July, meaning I have one month before school starts (my first day of sophomore year is September 4th). I've decided to compile a list of the things I want/have/Rainy wants me to do before summer draws to a close.

- Get up to "Chrysalis" in Plasma's Folly.
- Finish writing bios for all of the PF characters.
- Finish making icons for all of the Pokemon in PF.
- Draw more pictures for my Unova Pokedex Project.
- Finish drawing my Black 2 team.
- Download Genesect in Black 2.

There's a lot of things I've had to think over for my upcoming post-Promised Day Pride fanfiction (which still needs a title). I haven't necessarily run into any problems like this in any of my Pokemon fics, so this is kind of new for me. It's a good thing I've been bringing a writing journal with me everywhere so I can jot down my thoughts. And since the Random Blog is in desperate need of some new entries, I'm going to transcribe a portion of the journal (nothing plot-related, of course!) h...

A common device used in fiction is creating characters that the audience can relate with. Establishing a connection with a character helps you understand them, or by stretch the story, better. I'd like to delve into my relation with a character my mom suggested-- Crona from Soul Eater. Initially I took what she said as a joke, but now that I think of it a number of the aspects of Crona's character are similar to mine. Obviously, a lot of things about Crona are impossible or unrealistic in rea...

Today is the last day of summer vacation. This summer was a very interesting one, now that I look back at it. Going camping, visiting Niagara Falls and the cave under the Erie Canal, going to the amusement park, the Renaissance festival, adopting Diamond, discovering Soul Eater, saying goodbye to Jackie, adopting Mack, visiting the museum and the zoo... it's sad that today is the last day of all this rest and leisure time, but at the same time I'm kind of looking forward to high school. It's ...

There's only about two weeks left of this marvelous summer. Soon, my days of rest and relaxation will turn into stressful ones full of bullies, studying, and little free time. This year isn't going to be a fun one-- last year, some high school freshmen came in to lecture us about what life in the high school is going to be like. It should be noted that these students were at the top of their class. When they were asked what there was to look forward to in high school, the only things they sai...

I don't know if it's as obvious to you guys as it is in real life, but I'm currently going through some kind of rabid Soul Eater obsession stage. I feared this would happen from the start, and I said I wouldn't bring myself to this... but yeah, let's just say that didn't work. I'm kind of watching the show for a third time, (but not really... it's mostly my mom watching it. Yeah, that's right. We got my mom into Soul Eater. I don't even think she's just pretending to like it to make us happy,...

There will be a day, may it be weeks or months or years from now, when I will go onto Sakimi, and I'll be the only one there. I'll wait around, minutes, hours, but no one will come. I'll be alone, trapped in an endless void of emptiness. Of course by then, everyone else would have gradually began to drop from our circle of friends. Plagued by schoolwork, jobs, family concerns, they'll have no time to come and chat for a while. One of you would leave, then another, then someone else. There'...

Void, a character that most of you are familiar with, is often viewed as a monster by other Pokemon. Others fear her and try to avoid her by her appearance alone. In the past, she was assaulted in various ways, causing her to think all Pokemon are bad. Her past has also shaped her personality that she puts forth toward strangers; at first glance, she may appear to be serious, quiet, confined, and anti-social, even. But the personality she has around what little friends she has is completely d...
