Within the Interim Between My Last Post and This Post...

     I donated my hair. Okay, I realise I haven't really told you about that. I've been growing my hair out for five years straight; didn't even trim my ends. Before Friday, my hair was about an inch below my...sitting area (<---- lulz). Now, it's not even below my chest. So, that kind of sucks. I mean, five years with mystical mermaid hair. I was really attached to it! I miss it quite a lot, but I'm sure I'll manage. Besides, it will grow throughout the summer. Oh, and I have bangs (first time since I was five years old!). I'm still in the can't-figure-out-how-to-style-them phase, though. Sigh. You know, I cried when my hairdresser started cutting it. At least it was all for a good cause. Alright, so that's it.

     Another lovely experience is....Comic-Con! Comic-Con was AMAZING! I didn't buy many things (just the actual ticket to go in and a 2-pack of Pocky sticks), but OH, THE EXPERIENCE WAS PRICELESS!!!! "But, Laura, Pocky sticks are just Pocky sticks. They're nothing out of the ordinary. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah--" See, that's where you're WRONG, because at Comic-Con, I had the absolute pleasure to meet *drum-roll* Johnny Yong Bosh!!!! :D You may or may not know him as Adam on the "Power Rangers" (the black one) or Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo on "Bleach". Speaking of which, I keep getting bugged about saying I'm not into "Bleach", so I will start watching it, you little buggers. Anyway, back to Johnny. At around 11:30-ish am, he signed my GameBoy COLOR (Yeah, I asked him to sign that puppy, because I didn't have a spare bit of parchment... What do you want me to do? I had NO IDEA he was coming!) and my arm. Yes, you read that correctly. Johnny Yong Bosch signed my freaking arm. As in, he made physical contact with me for a few seconds and the ink of the marker he used is now seeping through my skin. I feel as though I should mention the fact that when I take a shower, I cover that arm in a plastic bag to preserve the autograph. Yes, I am weird. Speaking of weird, he said I was weird! Y'know, jokingly...I hope. :D It's not because of me, actually. My friend urged him to call me weird, so...yeah.

Ah, let's not forget the hour-long conference with Johnny himself. I was in the third row. 'Twas very magical. He did the Hollow Ichigo laugh without realising that his daughter was asleep. Lulz. It was just... AHHHHHHHHH!!!! He was so funny, too. He talked about some lines on Power Rangers that he just thought were terrible, i.e., "I'm a frog." and "MORPHENOMENAL!". LOLOL "Morphenomenal". I'm going to have to use that from time to time. Well, since I can't really write everything that was spoken about during the conference and things the fans asked him, I'll have to end the adventurous story here. Until my next post, DFTBA (threw that one in for my fellow Nerdfighters) and I hope y'all have a MORPHENOMENAL (!) day. :) Byeeeeeee!

Hiya.

                                        Allow me to introduce myself.

     Hi there. My name is Laura. I am a fifteen-year-old female who quite enjoys the Internet. Other things I like include writing, astronomy, algebra, cooking/baking (or at least the consumption of the end result. :D), reading, photography (if only I were good at taking the pictures myself...), video blogs, and philosophical debates...well, as long as the other person isn't pretentious and all "high and mighty" because they can come up with clever, on-the-spot counterarguments. Nope. Nope, nope, nope. I really don't like that.

    Naturally, since I am Puerto Rican, being loud is to be expected. In fact, whenever my family gets together, a foreigner would swear we're all fighting, when we're all really just getting along in the nice, dandy, familiar atmosphere of a relative's home. So...if you ever plan on visiting Puerto Rico, feel free to anticipate loud music being played during the night, fried food being sold on the street, artisans selling their crafts under white tents, awesome food that'll give you the tasty equivalent of being high (lol), and cool architecture.

     Anyway, BACK TO MEHHHHH. I find it impossible to describe anything using a minimal amount of words, because....well... IT'S JUST TOO DARN HARD. I mean, I'm freaking fifteen, for crying out loud. Aren't I supposed to have more words in my vocabulary? Jeez. It just really sucks when people assume I'm a snob because of the way I express myself. :( I really am not. I'm fun. I'M FUNNY. D: I mean, I hope I don't sound like some old lady when I'm having a grand ol' time communicating with others. I'm still a teenager. I want friends my age, like the ones I have now. Well, I guess I'd be lying if I told you I speak the way I write. I hope that makes sense to all of y'all. I still talk like a teenager; all hip and happening and whatnot (despite that phrase I just used).

     So, yeah. I'm guessing now's the time for me to step up to the plate and share some teenager-y qualities I have about me. :D I LOVE science fiction and think anime is okay (not obsessed with it, but I don't hate it). No, I don't like Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, or Bleach. Granted, I haven't watched much of either of those shows, but I'm...just...not...interested? DON'T HURT ME, NOW! I like romance-comedy and the occasional magical girl anime, like "Sailor Moon" (BECAUSE I'M A GIRL!. LOLOL). I loooooove watching Japanese dramas. OH, MY GOD! I LOVE 'EM! SO MUCH! For my fellow drama-lovers, there's going to be a new version of "Hana Kimi" coming out soon. The star of the show will be a girl from AKB48. HECK, YES! But, yes. I hope that piece of information was teenager-y enough. :) OH, and I like nail varnish. I've become OBSESSED with the stuff lately. I think that's pretty much it. If you guys have any questions at all, feel free to ask away on YouTube. I'll just leave the link right here.

                                                                                                         Bye. :) *waves*
