Death Note ... (possible spoilers)

It's an intense story, in some ways. Then again, so are most cop-robber TV shows we see nowadays. But what I'm trying to say is that even thouh Death Note is not the best story, afterall, it's about dark elements that live in all of us. It speaks of murder, "death gods", betrayal, cheating, and lies, fear-- think negative stuff and you'll see it somewhere there.

Yet me being me, I was fascinated by the characters and plot. And even though the protagonist is someone who in real life we'd fear and hate, just like in a movie-- you come to grow close to even the most rotten characters. You become attached, rooting for their happiness somewhere, even though you know that they'll meet their fall eventually, like they should, at least.

I guess one of the reasons why I continued to watch Death Note despite the sometimes intense/brutal parts, is that it remains a piece of art. If this was made into a big production movie with realistic people playing the roles, maybe it would be a bit more effective, as far as rousing any disgust to the violence. (Yeah, so what if there's already a movie. It looks silly.) But then again... there are loads of horror movies and others that manage to bring out loads of heavy violence, which makes Death Note pale in comparison.

Regardless, the concept, although a tad simple if you really think about it deeply, it captures who ever is watching or reading by the characters and mostly the characters alone. I admire any writer who can make their characters come to life and be made relatable, even if the surroundings may not be.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is... I'm sad the story ended. But strangley enough, I'm satisfied by how it ended. And even comparing the slightly different way it ends in the manga to how it ends in the anime, I am much happier with how it ends in the anime. Which is very strange, since normally the manga, being the original story, is what I tend to prefer. But I find the ending of the anime more appropriate. The manga's ending probably has its reasons for ending the way it did, but for some reason... I can't warm up to it.

This is also the first time I'm happy with an ending, in regards to series that I really come to love. It leaves you sad that it ended, but kind of happy and satisfied. Those are my feelings anyway.

(Gosh, i never realized how much I could ramble.)

KUDOS TO AN AWESOME STORY AND GREAT ARTWORK AND ANIMATION! <3 <3<3<3 Many hugs to the creator. I shall keep this one in my treasured collection.

Those fun little things

What Your Dreams Mean...

Your dreams seem to show that you're a bit disturbed... but nothing serious. You may have a problem you're trying to work out in your sleep. Overall, you are very content in your life. Your dreams indicate that you have very conflicted feelings. You have a very vivid imagination and a rich creative mind. You secretly want to hide your dreams from your waking mind.

What Do Your Dreams Mean?

You Are 56% Shy

Although you live a pretty normal life, you tend to be a fairly shy person. Many situations make you feel uncomfortable, and you sometimes find your shyness hindering your life.

How Shy Are You?

Nothing new about that.

You Are A Romantic Realist

You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

Your Sensitivity Score: 71%

You are a highly sensitive person. Pretty much everything effects you. You are tuned into the vibe around you, and someone's bad mood can bring you down. But you also easily share in someone's joy - whether you know them or not.

Are You Extremely Sensitive?

You Are an Okay Student

You know how to get by school, but your heart isn't always in it. Motivation is a problem for you. Maybe you need to study something more exciting!

Are You a Good Student?

You Are 20% Spoiled

You are definitely not spoiled. You've worked hard for what you have. Down to earth and grounded, you don't need a lot to make you happy.

Are You Spoiled?

I am not down to earth at all. But I don't need a whole lot to make me happy, yes. Sometimes, maybe, lol-- but most of the time I'm fine with just myself as entertainment.

You Are 19% Borderline

Your personality isn't borderline anything. You're happy, stable, content, together... ever consider being a therapist?

Do You Have a Borderline Personality?

People have suggested that to me, lol.

How You Life Your Life

You have a good sense of self control and hate to show weakness. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You tend to have one best friend you hang with, as opposed to many aquaintences. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

Somewhat true.

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait.. With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

What Artist Should Paint Your Portrait?

A break?

I'll be frank. My final tests are done. But I'll only get the official grades on Saturday. So until then, I'm not sure if I'll have extra classes next week, and then a test in the end of July-- all depends on my grades on certain subjects. But then again, why bother talking about that? After all, it's done! History.

Either way, during this time of vacation, I want to set some goals. Just so I don't dwadle and stare while doing nothing productive. So here they are:

1. I shall at least once a week try to cook a meal.
2. Do 1 sketch a day.
3. Progress in writing ( the Katherine story, lol.)
4. Maybe cut my hair? :D
5. When I wake up, instead of going to the computer, take a shower.

And... anything else shall manifest itself soon. In the end, these goals are just to keep me busy. Silly as they may be, they're something to focused on, plus something to post about since I really miss blogging! And now it's 11 o'clock (almost) and I should really go to bed now... So, see you!

Hopefully I can conjure something more interesting to talk about some time soon, maybe tomorrow who knows! ;P

DREAM

You got to wonder sometimes. What are dreams? What is their use? Those endless amount of images that fly through our minds while we "sleep". What is the point of their existance?

I've heard lots of differents opinions. I've heard on the TV that some scientists believe, based on experiments, that without dreams, we cannot sleep. That some experiences have proven that if you disturb the person just when he's about to start dreaming, countless times, not only do they become completely deprived of sleep, they go sort of crazy.

Other opinions say that dreams solve problems. Not math problems, mind you, just... problems and dilemas in our life. Others believe that they have a meaning, and are a sign that either something is wrong, or something significant is happening, etc.

Or we could just say they're a bunch of image slides displaying themselves based on our last thoughts before we go to bed, or something we experienced recently, or just something we saw on TV.

OR simply our imagination going a little wild. Afterall, what's wrong with creativity?

In the end, I guess I should explain the sudden question about dreams. I had a dream last night. Nothing special. Nothing exceptionally weird (as most of my dreams are). But it had a strange sensation to it, as most dreams do. But this dream made me happy. I dreamt of a friend, among others, that used to be my classmate last year. Now that all my friends have changed schools, it's become a bit more difficult to see eachother or keep in touch. Especially since, not only does he go to a different school, but he lives quite far out of the city. Nonetheless, there have been times where I have come across him at the mall after school. We say hello, ask how our lives have been treating us (mostly school related), and that's pretty much it, because it normally ends by the fact that one of the other has to go back to a group of friends, or in my case, back to my dad-- to go back home.

And it's normal to have short conversations, I guess, now that we're not classmates and seeing eachother everyday, but even so. I can't help but ask why it can't be as casual. As "friendly." I just can't help but miss the guy, I suppose, probably because he made my days at school hectic with his pranks and jokes, but it was fun in the end. He was labled annoying sometimes, but the kind of annoying guy you liked to have around anyway, since he made the atmosphere so much more less serious.

What makes me really wonder, though, is why all these thoughts, if despite being my "friend", I never really knew him as well as some others. He was a... friendly aquaintance, that I was able to consider a friend because of the fact that he was so friendly.

But I guess there's no point making it a big deal. I just miss the past, what I'd cheesily call the "old times" where things were less stressful, a bit more carefree, and much more silly, especially when he was there to make a mess.

And I bet anybody reading this would immadiately conclude that I have a crush on this guy. But that is hard to prove, seeing as I don't have the symptoms, aside from missing him. Besides, there shouldn't be anything stange about liking a guy without actually having feelings for him. But then again, who knows. I just find that possibility far-fetched, and cruel, since I can't possibly "like" him right after he stopped "liking" me. Haha.

I guess I didn't come here to talk about dreams, but rather the people in it, although normally my dreams are full of fiction people, and if any people I know are present, they act out of character, which makes them weird too.

Alas, I am rambling, and I can't seem to get to the point, since I don't know what point I'm trying to make! Oh dilema. I'll leave it at this.

P.S. How ironic that I post something about a guy friend just a day after I read Chai's post about her old friend. Maybe that triggered this whole thing?
