Vocaloids and Updates

Hey! It’s been a couple days, so I decided to write again!

Recently I’ve been really obsessed with the song Bad End Night by Miku Hatsune.


Go to the link above to watch the video. It’s so cool, but it also kind of freaked me out.

It didn’t give me nightmares, or anything . . .

No, just kidding! It didn’t. But be careful when watching it. If you know you’ll be scared just by how I have somewhat described it, you should be able to search up Bad End Night by Miku Hatsune and you will be able to find just a link to listen to it!

Some other song I really love (and am listening to right now) are:

Crazy Night by Miku Hatsune
Romeo and Cinderella Miku Hatsune
Twilight Night by Miku Hatsune
World is Mine by Miku Hatsune
Rolling Girl by Miku Hatsune
Unravel (full version) by Miku Hatsune
Masked Innocence by Miku Hatsune (Most likely my favorite)
Electric Angel by Rin & Len
Kokoro by Kagamine Rin
Servant of Evil by Kagamine Len

Those are just some of the possible hundreds that I have listened to in the past couple days!

Tell me if you listen to any one of these songs!

And, I honestly don’t have any personal updates. If you were wondering, I finished The Outsider a little over a week ago.

And, to be honest, the ending made me cry.

It wasn’t even that sad! Just how the author wrapped it up was amazing!

I am now listening to Rolling Girl and I am singing along. Look up the English words, the song is so sad.

But it’s just so so so good!

Anyways, keep me updated! Email me or comment to me, please!

Miku Hatsune and Pandora

Hello!

Just a couple minutes ago, I found Miku Hatsune on Pandora. You can imagine my excitement! I love her music, and while she might be a vocaloid, she really speaks to me. Well, at least once I look up what the lyrics mean in English. And because Japanese sounds so cool!

Today, I decided I should talk about Miku Hatsune, after finding this amazing discovery that anime music is, indeed, on Pandora!

So. Miku Hatsune is a vocaloid, and she is projected on stage. I honestly don’t know how, but she is really dancing around and looks totally 3D. She makes movements with her arms and her head and stuff on stage too, as if she were really performing as a singer. Her hair even moves with her.

That is just so cool, in my opinion. Like, Japan, how do you do that?

Right now I am listening to Malentendido by Clean Tears and it’s really good. A couple more songs that have showed up in my anime song list is Caramelldansen by Caramell, which I think is a song that is really popular in Japan right now since I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it before. Hinekuremono by Supercell and Hatsune Miku is really pretty too.

I don’t know why, but I just love hearing the Japanese!

I would love to go to one of Miku’s concerts at an anime-con or something. That sounds like something I would really want to do with one of my friends that loves her, too, like Riley or Gaia.

Oh, and a little update on me is that I tried to learn Japanese last night at, like, 11:00 pm. I tried. All I learned is Konnichiwa and Arigato Gozaimasu. Konnichiwa means hello, and Arigato Gozaimasu is thank you very much, I think. I’m not quite sure.

As you can see, I definitely know how to language.

I will obviously keep trying on Japanese, but at some point I think I will give up. I will keep all of you updated on my Japanese-learning skills and if I decide to stick with it or not.

Thanks for reading this, and I hope you learned something either new or interesting about Miku Hatsune, whether you did know about anime music on Pandora or not!

Lindsay \(^-^)/

Oh, and PS. Right now I am listening to Akahitoha by WhiteFlame and I really love this one too! Please look up the songs I put down on Youtube or something and let me know what you think, it would brighten my day!

Personal Update

Hello guys. Today seemed to be really long at school, and I am so happy that it is nearing the end of the school day.

Yes, I am writing this during school hours. Don’t judge me.

The people I have been working with throughout the day have given me a slight headache. Let’s just say I am kind of an outsider in my school, so they didn’t talk to me about anything. And I guess that’s okay, but when I am trying to work on something they will be talking about something else that I don’t know about and I won’t feel very included.

My small group of friends are what make me happy. There’s Gaia, who can make the world smile with just one of her crazy laughs. And Kaimbry, who can make a joke out of anything. Karishma, the anime fanatic that everybody loves (especially since she makes everyone feel like themselves). Riley, the cute insane girl that will spasm on the floor for fun and the one you always want to talk to. Anna, the seemingly normal one that agrees with everything you say and listens to you no matter what happens. Courtney, the ‘devil’ that always obsesses over books. Lauren, the candy lover that annoys the heck out of you, but you love anyways.

There you go, my beautiful friend group of eight (including myself). We are all comfortable with each other, so we will do whatever we think of and laugh it off later. It doesn’t matter what I do, as long as I have one of them at my side, I can be myself. But when I am in a class filled with people I don’t know, I kind of isolate myself and they don’t make an effort to include me. And that’s okay, I guess. But I wish I could feel more included.

Oh well.

Karishma tells me to watch Inuyasha. Has anyone else seen that anime? If you have, give me your opinion. And everyone in my group of friends is watching Black Butler. Is that a good anime?

As always, I recommend all of you reading this to watch Tokyo Ghoul. I don’t care if you’ve only seen the first couple episodes and didn’t like it. Keep watching it, the second season is the best thing ever. And Tokyo Ghoul:RE is coming out in 2016. If you haven’t read my non-accurate description on what that will be about, please read it! Thanks!

Wow, this blog post was kind of personal. I might delete it later, if that’s okay with everyone.

Unless you like hearing about my personal problems.

Nah, I don’t think you do. I tend to be a big complainer.

Oh, and it’s the second day in November! New month, fresh start! Can’t wait until it starts raining and snowing.

Thanks again, and take my poll at the very bottom of my blog!

Last Chance Excerpt

Hello again!

I know it is Halloween, so I decided that I should give you a little excerpt of Last Chance for you guys to read. It was written by my friend Riley and I, and we still have a lot of editing to do. I love writing it with her, she is amazing!

If you don’t like it that much, I’m sorry. But if you find it really interesting and you want more, please let me know so I will be motivated to share more with all of you!



Still, musty air.  Consuming hazy darkness.  Tiny pieces of ash fluttering to the ground, like a bunch of angry two year olds in the clouds have been ripping up pieces of paper.
Scanning my environment, I can just hardly see the lake where I had just broke the surface through layers of embers.  I don’t know why I was in that lake.  All of this information is in my head with no memories of where I had gotten it.  My eyes sting, and water is dripping  from my hair and from the dress that barely clings to my body.  The material is shredded and a bit puffy.
The pond behind me is polluted with firedust, still for whatever amount of time it had been still  until my eyes had fluttered open and my lungs screamed, communicating through searing pains, for air.  I knew then to find oxygen, immediately.
What, exactly, is this place?  Where am I?  A geyser blows just inches from my face and I scream, falling back into the water.  This water is cold and still, littered with ash.  That water is hot and active, foaming as it sprays.  I don’t like either.
I fumble around in the water, my hands passing over something hard.  I don’t care right now, all I want is up.  I float to the top in the murky water.  Now I just have to get through the thick layer of embers, again.  There is nothing to push off of, making it hard to break through.  My fist weakly strikes the top.  I  hit again, and again, until I see flecks on the edge of my  stinging vision and my head starts to pulse with my blood.
I give up. The layer of ash is too hard to penetrate. I allow myself to float away until unconsciousness pulls at my eyes, drawing them closed. I drift into an endless sleep.



There’s our prologue part one for you! I hope you enjoyed it.

And, again, Happy Halloween!

If you find anything that needs to be corrected or fixed, don’t hesitate to comment to me about it and Riley and I will fix it.

Thanks again! Bye!

Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween, all of my readers! I hope you have some exciting activities going on today!

Yesterday was the best pre-Halloween I’ve ever had. I had a dance at my school, and went with all of my friends. There was a lot of music and so much stuff going on, we didn’t have time for all of it! We all went in the photobooth, and while we didn’t fit that well, we made faces and had a lot of laughs.


Afterwards, I went over to my friend Kaimbry’s house with everyone, and we all played games, had spider oreos, gummy worms, buddy bars, and so much more. It was the best Halloween party I’ve ever gone to. I definitely had an amazing time.


Kaimbry, if you’re reading this, you’re the most decorative for Halloween I’ve seen anyone before!


So, for my costume, it was amazing. Except for the fact that it took me, like, a whole class period to get only half of it on. At that point, my frustration level growing, I decided to only wear the parts of it I could figure out.


Do you guys know how to go to the bathroom in that costume, with all of the straps?


You don’t.


I loved cosplaying, but next time I will definitely need to do something more simple. After that experience, I am definitely reluctant to put it on again today.


I wouldn’t have wanted to cosplay anyone else, though.


Back to Halloween. Are any of you going trick-or-treating? I definitely am. I don’t care what anybody else says, I am going to rock Sasha Braus again today and if people tell me that I’m too old to be trick or treating, well, haters gonna hate.


What are any of you being for Halloween? Any more cosplays? Any Attack on Titan-ers? please tell me, I must know!


Again, I must thank you for reading this blog entry, as always. I love to write, and you guys make me a better writer. If you want me to improve on anything, just take the poll at the very bottom of my blog. If you scroll down on this website, it should say, Does this blog need any improvements? and answer the question as one or more of the checkmarks to the left. If you want me to make any specific improvements, either email me or comment to me.


Thanks again! Have a really good Halloween night and get lots of candy, whether you are going trick-or-treating or not!

The Outsiders and Last Chance

Hmmm . . . what to talk about today . . .


Can you believe I’m only five blog posts in and I can’t think of anything to write about? I want to write, I just can’t formulate anything that I really want to talk about. And then, when I’m at school, I’ll come up with the best topics that always seem to float away by the time I get home.


Let’s see. Halloween costume? Check. Manga? Check. Tokyo Ghoul:RE? Check. Is there anything else I can do?


I am pretty much just circling back to what I’ve talked about before.


But what else am I supposed to do? Come up with something CREATIVE? Ugh. No way.


Just kidding. But I am not a creative person, and that’s why I give you chances to give me ideas! Without your guys’s ideas, I have nothing to write about. That’s just how it is.


If you want something new about me personally, though, I’ll tell you I am reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hilton for school. It’s actually a bit better than I thought it would be. I assumed it would be the stereotypical school book, with just some boring facts of someone that all comes together to teach a lesson.


I’ll give you some credit, S. E. Hilton. You have intrigued and impressed me with your abilities to pull me in.


Also, your names in this book tend to be very interesting.


I honestly have not gotten that far. I’m on Chapter 3 of 12, and there is a total of 180 pages. I know it doesn’t seem too long, but it happens to be enough pages to get the point across.


I’m actually writing a story called Last Chance right now. We’re (Riley, my co-writer, and I) at about 150 pages, and we’ve jam-packed so much action into this thing that I can’t believe we’re not at, like, 300. I guess it takes more than action to write a book, though . . .


If you want to check that out, just go to Wattpad and search up ReadingWritingDragon, the account we use to write Last Chance on. It is written by me and a friend named Riley, and Karishma is our editor at the moment. We’ve kind of taken a break, with school and everything, but we will definitely be on it soon enough.


Thanks, guys! I know that this was probably one of my longer posts so far, so thanks for reading it, if you did. I know that I can be really boring sometimes. But just wait; I will come up with a topic so amazing to write next time, I will blow your minds.


I should probably go read The Outsiders for school anyways.

Goodbye, I will try to write as soon as I can find a topic!
Lindsey :P

Tokyo Ghoul:RE

Hello again!


So, I am really excited for the Tokyo Ghoul:RE series to come out. It's supposed to be summer of 2016, but there isn't an actual date planned for it. I know that the anime wasn't really following the manga that well, but isn't that how everything is? The book isn't ever the same as the movie?
Did you know that Attack on Titan has a release date? April 16th, baby! I'm so excited, I can't wait! But I heard from my friend Karishma that Levi is supposed to die. Please, no! Levi, don't leave me!


Okay, back to Tokyo Ghoul. So, pretty much it's about Kaneki losing his memory and everything, so he joins the CCG society, as if to destroy them from the inside-out. That's what I have heard it is about, I haven't read the manga because I can't find one anywhere! But I will definitely read it at some point! Just as soon as Karishma finishes the first Tokyo Ghoul manga . . .


Also, I think Kaneki's name is changed to, like, Haise or something? As you can see, I definitely don't really know what I am talking about, *laughs* oh well. I think that Kaneki pretends to want to get rid of Ghouls, but is actually letting them free behind the CCG's back, but they obviously don't know that. I thought that was a pretty creative idea, since Hide had -- maybe I shouldn't say -- you know.


Thanks for reading my obviously (not) accurate ideas about the Tokyo Ghoul:RE topic becoming an anime! I know I don't really know my stuff, but in my defense I can't find a Tokyo Ghoul:RE manga anywhere. So I will try to keep you updated on everything.


Thank you guys so much! I know I said I wouldn’t post a Tokyo Ghoul entry today, but I figured that I wouldn’t spoil too much since I didn’t know much about Tokyo Ghoul:RE anyways.


Goodbye!
