• You never added me back to your Friends List or replied to my entries or comments.


• You took me off your Friends List.


• You've offended or put me down, but refused to admit it, or you've repeatedly put me down.

Once offended, put down, deceived, or ignored, I do not forgive quickly or easily.  I also do not take well to false accusations.  Sorry for being so mean, rude, and arrogant, but I don't want to take chances.

I'm busy, so it usually takes a long time before I could reply or read and comment on your entries.  However, I like reading what everyone has to say, even if we have different interests.  That means if you have entries that you want or need me to read, please let me know.  I don't mind when you complain about your lives in entries, because I like to read those, too.  Actually, I prefer reading those over fandom entries.

I might not post as often as some people, but it will not bother me if you post multiple times a day.  That doesn't flood my Friends Pages, and is not spamming.  After all, it's your journal, so you should be free to express yourself.  If I want to read older entries, I'll just go to your LJ account and archives.

If any of you feel insulted or offended by any content in my entries, I apologize in advance.  I tell the truth of what I think and feel, and try not to offend anyone.

I don't do favorites on people or characters, so I just tried to stick with the main characters: World 8, G8, and HetaOni.  I wrote each character's name on a paper, put them in a cup, and drew each one out randomly.  Then I listed the characters in the order they were drawn.

Choose 10 characters:
1. France
2. China
3. Germany
4. North Italy
5. Japan
6. Canada
7. England
8. Russia
9. America
10. Prussia

I enjoy aoryutochanz' electone performance of two of my favorite HetaOni songs, Break of Dawn and Saying Goodbye (popularly known as This is Where I Fall) and Going Home and Seasons End (popularly known as Friendship), so I decided to upload abridged versions my videos or slideshows of those songs, using the electone version.  I think the songs were shorter because the performance tempo was faster, so I had to take out some pictures to fit the timeframe of the songs.

Going Home and Seasons End (Electone Version)

Please check out aoryutochanz' electone performances here.

I recently found some mistakes on the videos or slideshows of some of my favorite HetaOni songs I uploaded two years ago.  At the same time, I had some new ideas and found pictures I liked better.  That's why I revised the videos.  Unfortunately, YouTube does not let me just replace the videos, so I had to take them down and upload them again.  Here are the new links.

I hadn't planned on participating in the scavenger hunt for Harry Potter Day at Disneyland on November 4, 2012, but got talked into it.  They had a plot focused on Yensids School of Sorcery and Necromancy, a wizarding school in America.

I was randomly sorted into Rickett House, and we met in the same location as Dashwood.  The other two Houses, Willowdell and Grizcom, met at a different location.  We had to find staff members who were dressed as Harry Potter characters and answer two questions from them.  The correct answer on the first question earned us a clue to the solution of the problem.  The second questions were hard, and the prize was a galleon.  Locating the staff members themselves were difficult, and the clues were vague.

I think another purpose of the game was to have us explore the theme park.  I also met Farquetto and her friends.  We had to turn in our materials by 6:30 P.M., but I didn't stay until 8:00 P.M. when they reveled the answers to the riddles.

I picked up Thehappycat, her daughter, and some other friends before we headed for Anthony C. Beilenson Park in Van Nuys.  Beginning in 2009, Hetalia fans made United Nations Day  Hetalia Day, but due to October 24 being a weekday in 2012, we had it on Saturday, October 20.  It sprinkled on and off, and the sun refused to shine.  Fortunately, the drive was quick.

Hetalia Day was fun again like last year, and we met many new people.  We had potluck, games, and photo shoots.  Someone even brought her cute dog who cosplayed Italy.  I just wore my usual casual makeshift Taiwan costume.  They also held a costume contest with prizes.  As for food, we ended up with too much leftovers.

The sun did try to peek at times, but failed.  We hit some traffic in downtown LA on the way back, and I dropped everyone off before returning to my apartment.

I never thought I would be interested in an anime based on history, but to my surprise I got into Hetalia in July 2011.  Now after over an year, I find myself still obsessed with it, which is bad because it has distracted me from important things.  Well, I can't say that because before watching Hetalia, I was also obsessed and distracted by other anime, game, and fictional series.  Many people said that Hetalia got them interested in history, which led to good grades, which is a good thing.  Unfortunately, I'm still not interested in history though I've looked up some historical topics and learned more general history than I did in school.  Well, one good thing did happen for me: it helped me appreciate other countries more.

I couldn't sleep so I got up and got on the computer for awhile before putting on my Taiwan costume and heading for Little Tokyo at downtown Los Angeles.  Our group, Hetalians United,  was holding a gathering there on Saturday, September 8, 2012.

Anime Expo (AX) 2012 began at the end of June this year instead of July probably due to the calendar, so the 4th of July wasn't included in any of the days.  This year, they also held the X-Games in the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC) area, so it was chaos.

I didn't hear about Anime, Manga, and Music to a Higher Power (AM²) at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) in 2011 until it was too late.  What's worse was that it conflicted with Anime Expo (AX).  Fortunately, AM² 2012 took place in the middle of June instead of the end or in July.  For all three days, I picked up a friend on my way there and back.

NOTE: I know this is way too overdue, but I've been busy and unable to write about it.

Since WonderCon 2012 was held at the Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) instead of Northern CA, I decided to check it out.  Due to it being run by the same company as Comic-Con International, I was a little anxious about attending.  Fortunately, WonderCon wasn't as big or crowded, and the people weren't as rude.

In September 2012, I had to take my cream and white male hamster, Tortion, in for sudden hair loss.  The vet gave him shots for mites, and his fur gradually grew back.

On Sunday, November 4, 2012, I noticed the hamster with a swollen face, so I took him to the vet along with Sassy.  He had also been drinking and losing much water for awhile.  At the vet, we eventually saw that Tortion's whole body was swollen.  The vet gave him a shot and prescribed medicine for his eyes.  He also said the hamster probably had kidney problems.

Tortion's swelling went down, and I applied the medicine everyday as instructed.  On Thanksgiving Day, I realized that Tortion had lost much heat and was barely moving, so I knew he was near his end, which happened the next day.  He had been with me for about 21 months.

On Sunday, November 4, 2012, I noticed my cream female hamster, Sassy breathing rapidly.  Recalling the same symptom in past hamsters, I suspected pneumonia, and that is what the vet diagnosed, too.  I've been giving her antibiotics everyday as instructed, but today, I found her still and not breathing, which meant death.  I had her for about 18 months.
