                <description><![CDATA[ So I just recently bought a movie, "Howl's Moving Castle". It was such a good movie!! I loved it! I think it's just amazing; the art and animation. Hayao Miyazaki puts so much detail, even adding in the small stuff like how cloth moves when you pull a needle and thread through it... I know some people who read this probably think, "Wow, what a dork!! Just watch the movie for crying out loud!" XD Okie, maybe not those specific words, but along those lines. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> But it fascinates me how specific and detailed he can get. He's a genious!! I've watched "Kiki's Delivery Service", "Princess Mononoke", "Spirited Away", and now "Howl's Moving Castle". I loved each one and I've watched each at least twice. But I also want to see his other works, like "The Castle of Caliostro" which is based on Lupin III!! I loved that anime! He worked on that movie with Isao Takahata. Then there's also "Castle in the Sky", "Nausicä of the Valley of the Wind", and "My Neighbor Totoro". I've heard of those being really good too, so I'd like to find them! What really amazes me is how different the storylines are from most other movies. Sometimes, it doesn't turn out the way you expected it to... I love that. lol Anyway, Miyazaki has really gotten my attention and admiration! *claps for Miyazaki* lol ]]></description>

                <title>Newsflash: Plague of Stupidity Hits Boys! o.o</title>
                <link>http://AnimericanGurl.deviantart.com/journal/8637294/</link>

                <description><![CDATA[ I really don't understand why boys do the things they do, or say the things they say... It's frustrating at times too! Because I'm just sitting here thinking, "Hm.. I wonder what's running through this boy's mind while he's spouting this nonsense." >.> And it's not just one boy... Nooo... It's like a plague got ahold of my friends and just made them into a big blob of stupidness. o.o Alright... *sighs* I'll explain:<br />
<br />
1) There are times when all my guy friends are in their right minds and we all have fun and joke around without any drama... then there are times (like now) when they start doing dumb things and saying things like, "...I like you." or "Would you be interested in going out with me?" >.> WHY?! They know for a fact I only see them as a friend, why ask me? Sometimes, I wish I were a boy, just so my guy friends would just talk to me like they do their other friends. (But then again, I like being a girl too much ^_^). But yea... I'm a tom-boy though. So most of my guy friends say "Oh you're just one of the guys!" ....Then ask yourself this, "Why would I ask 'one of the guys' if they liked me?" o.O *wonders if she's making any sense* .... >.><br />
<br />
2) Then there are boys that I meet online... o.o Yes that's right... I'm a nerd. I meet people that roleplay, then we roleplay together... ^_^ in our own little happy-go-lucky anime roleplay sites. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ........ *cough* Anyway... These boys somehow get it into their minds that I'm looking for a relationship... o.O; And after the first couple of minutes (or maybe they can hold off for an hour) of talking to them, they decide "I LOVE YOU!!" >.> *sighs* And the same thought occurs, "What is going through this boy's mind while he spouts his impulsive nonsense to me?" But I've had quite a few of these boys recently... It's like seasons. One season, I meet cool guys that we just talk and laugh with each other and roleplay... Then the next season, I meet a whole bunch of guys who confess their love to me. And I know that each girl probably goes through this, or maybe you don't... lucky you!!! Or maybe some of you girls like this stuff... but I'm no normal girl. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /> Anyway... it's annoying. <br />
<br />
3) Perverts..... That about sums up this. I just got a webcam recently... and I like playing on it. Showing it to friends and saying, "Yea, this is my dog." and "This is my room." and I take people on tours through my room and show them my pets... XD I love the webcam... Except, there was one guy who was watching my webcam... I was just sitting there watching my TV though lol... and this guy knows I hate perverts... and I have high morals. And he dared to ask... THE question, "Is there a chance I'll see anything?" And it took me a while to understand what he meant because I KNOW he wouldn't ask for... that... but I was wrong... and I chewed his ass out for it. >.><br />
<br />
Soooo... in conclusion, boys out there... Please, please, please... Read the signs girls give you! Listen to the brain in your head and not the brain in your... yea... Self-control boys! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> ...I'm not even sure if any of this stuff was related to each other, but uh... It's 5:21 in the morning.. I'm tired, but I can't sleep... soooo it's been a rant from an insomniac! XD Well, good night folks! ]]></description>
