[currently watching: Anime on adult swim]

Today, I went job hunting (seems like I go job hunting at least twice a week these days) at the Cielo Vista Mall. I ended up applying at JCPenny (that particular application came out red, which means I did not qualify for the position I applied for), Sears and when I got home, Old Navy. I was going to apply at Hollywood Video again but decided not to. I now have open applications at Dairy Queen, Waterburger, Old Navy, Gamestop and Sears. Maybe I'll apply somewhere else on tuesday when I go to check up on DQ and Waterburger. Hmmm.

Rumbling Hearts
I watched the first 2 DVDs (episodes 1-10) of the first season of the Rumbling Hearts (Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ) english dub that was released by FUNimation. So far, this anime is getting on my nerves!! Ahhh >.<
You can watch this anime for free on the FUNimation [youtube] and [videos] section of the site =]

As from now on, this is my random space... though I'm sure most of these entries are pretty random already. Cheese =B haha. I recieved the March 2009 issue of Shonen Jump in the mail today. SJ is an ok manga magazine that mostly has action-packed manga aimed at boys (I'm sure tons of girls read it too)- you know, the typical type of manga you find in Jump magazines from Japan. There's a new series in the issue, so go buy it!! Or, better yet, get a subscription like I did. Well, I've had one for almost 5 years now. I'm waiting for my first subscribed issue of Yen+ to come in the mail. It better be the Febuary 2009 issue or I'll be upset (I'll probably go buy the Feb. 09 issue at Barnes and Nobles)!!

Maybe I'll start posting these updates daily (even though I'm pretty sure my life is not eventfull enough for that. Especially on mondays. lol) because I seem to like blogging about my dorky-tastic self! Wooo~! Read on, read on. Dorks rule, and you know it. OH! What have I been called recently? *thinks* My sister said I'm a pervert (but, she does not know what a hard core perv is, so I did not take offence) because I watch anime with sex (no, not hentai! Anime such as Rumbling Hearts. ok?) and perverted people (she's the one watching Clannad!). Shane Angel Fire (from I-studios and DCA) called me a geek instead of a nerd. This is his reasoning, nerds are creepy and geeks aren't. For some reason, that made my day (when ever that day was. All I know is it happened some time this week during a Skype chat).

Didn't do too much. I went to school: 1st(pre-cal) polynomial quiz; 2nd(drawing II) finished scratch board project; 3rd(d.c. texas politics 2306) some notes;4th(anatomy/physiology) review game for joints; 5th(d.c. reacurch and development 1302) learned abour paraphrasing poems. Went home, and then went to see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. I ate during the day, read like a page of The Hunger Games and went on the computer (mostly to blogggggg like crazeh).
Wow, what a productive day Akia had. >:D haaaaaaaa. ya, right.

So, this is my RANDOM BLOG POSTING FACTOIDS AREA of awsome.
Soooooo, I want to go to this years Anime Weekend in Atlanta. Ok, maybe not everything I post here will be random. SO WHUT =[ Man, capitals make it look I yelling at chu. WHAT, PUNK >:D haha
I have a goal of finishing The Hunger Games by the end of next week. Think I can do it? I'm not too sure! lol. My sister said she wasn't going to watch anymore of the Rumbling Hearts anime because there is sex (if she's a real anime fan, TV-14 rated sex would not make her stop watching an anime *sigh*). My dad was recently given a wireless internet adaptor for the X-box 360 and a year of X-box live. Yep. Um... I really wanted to eat some pizza today but I'm on the Jenny Craig program, so I wan't allowed (my sister sarah got a pizza with no cheese because she is now a veggan).

I-studios: Now that articles for the January 2009 issue of JA NE are edited and turned in, I'm going to be working on my version of the I-studios logo girl-of-awsome (Shane Angel Fire of DCA made the original). She has violet hair, which happens to be one of my favorite colors. I'll also be working on the Febuary 2009 issue of JA NE and any reviews that come up. As always, I will be running the blog and twitter account.

Teh Senior year: Hmm... well, I have a new-ish schedule now. Instead of having first period off, I have 6th which means I get out of school at around 2:07pm (instead of 3:45pm b/c I have neither a 6th nor 7th period). I had Economics last semester, this semester that is replaced with Pre-cal (I used to have pre-cal 6th period with a different teacher). My scehdule is as follows: 1st Pre-cal B, 2nd Drawing II B, 3rd Dual Credit Texas Politics, 4th Anatomy/Physiology B, 5th Dual Credit English (reasurch/devolopment) 1302. Today I: (Pre-cal) started working on some math problems that involve de-foiling polymonials, finding zeros and some other math related to polynomials. There's a quiz tommorrow and I have yet to finish the 30 or so problems that are due tommorrow. (drawing II) Worked some more on something called a scratch board. I'm pretty sure I will have finished it by the end of class tommorrow. (d.c. government) Commented on some visuals for chapter one of Texas Politics. Was boring, but the sub we had for class had some nice stories to tell. (anatomy) Worked on different types of movements caused by muscles like flexion and insertion. (d.c. english) Answered/ presented some questions to the class about a poem that was on the subject of death.
________________________________________________
Teh Job (status: on teh hunt): Yup, looking for a job. Mainly to earn money for AWA. I currently have applications at Dairy Queen, Waterburger and Wallgreens. Wallgreens is not currently hiring, but I do have an online application which will be up for 6 months (I originally put in the application because one of the employees at the Walgreens close to me said that they were hiring). I'm going to submit a new Hollywood Video application online. Um... and I think my Gamestop application is still at Gamestop since I haven't seen any new people working at Gamestop. Looking for a job sucks =[

[Life Post] An Akia Update [#8]

*whispers to self* does anyone even read my blog??
Been a while, ne?
Well, life gets in the way of... internet life. Basically, school kicks peoples butts.
[I'm no exception.]
Akia Updates!!
1] Watched Babylon A.D. with my dad and sis about 10 minuets ago. It is sooo amazing!! ((of course, my dad did not like it because it was a bit hard to understand)) I'll be posting a review of this movie veryy soon; and I mean it this time. No long wait for this review because the movie is that amazing. So worth taking an hour or so to review. Go watch it now, though, because it is out on DVD at your local Blockbuster =D
2] Got a new schedule... blah. I like it.
3] Trying to get a j-o-b... again. I applied at Dairy Queen this past tuesday. My mom worked at Dairy Queen as her first job, so if I get it, that will be pretty funny. "like mother, like daughter"
4] Saw that I have an 81 in Anatomy for my semester grade!!! Sooo, happy-exstaticl-y about that because it means I can breath for a while (this three day weekend) because I know I won't end up grounded from the computer. I will definantly be studying from the next time I learn something so I don't end up with a 43 ever again. Sheesh, no need to stress myself.
5] Went back to being a Cubbie leader this week, but do to I-studio's business, I'm going to have to give up being a Cubbie leader in order to have monday as the day I don't go into work when I have an interview to discuss when I'm available (and monday's going to be a 'catch up' day for homework and room cleaning). Also, I'm trying to get it to where I can work at 1pm on Sunday's so I can go to youth or adult service. Adult servicce is in the morning and high school youth is at 11pm. Sooo, I'll probably end up going to adult (aka main) service untill I go off to UTEP or EPCC.
6] I want to see Mirror Mask really bad right now =(
7] I'm now part of the 50 books in a year challenge (reading Skinned and a bunch of other books), but I can't seem to sit down with a book(or lay on my bed) like I used to! Nor can I read at school because I'm usually busy... and if it's taking me this long to read a book that would normally take me 5 straight hours, I have no idea how this challenge will fair with my schedule. *sigh* The life of a bookworm. 0_0 there's still tons of manga in my room to be read. That is a first, I usually read my manga within a month of getting them, but there's about 10 volumes that have not been read about a month and a half later. The world just might end... and for real this time. ok, not.
8] Have a new series on my Deviantart called aneXdemi-Human: The Delusion of Fantasy
9] Eureka 7 and Figure 17 are anime I want to watch NOW. I don't care about the winter '09 anime if I can watch these right now =( they amazing, daddy. they really are!!
10] Someone needs to send Akia the first season fo TruBlood, because you know you want to =) *bats eyelashes*
I have a new schedule... and I just found out yesterday that my schedule may get messed up!!
My poor, perfect, schedule =[
I finally get a spring schedule that is RIGHT and this is what happens:
my new first period is either...
-A pre-AP class (I don't mind this)
-or nonexistant (this happened last year with my "self marketing" class)
Here's my new schedule (minus teachers/ room numbers):
1st- precal
2nd- drawing II
3rd- dual credit government (texas gov)
4th- Anatomy/Physiology
5th- dual credit government
Ok, I'll stop before I start ranting about have freakin' messed up my schools system is =)
0__0 what kind of STUPID update was that!? how (un)informative that was....
or was it?
I dunno!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure no one does... or is. =(
