Ace and Four: IT BURNS!

Hiya!~
Wow, I can't believe it's been a month since I started this blog!

Well, this has been great!~

I like these ~ things. They are cool.

Okay, so you might've seen I added Favicons to my posts. They are just that cool.

You may think "but they're so low quality! It burns! IT BURNS!

IT BURNS

*Insert screaming here*

Okay, anyways.

Well, I hope you had a jolly Christmas! I know I did!

Okay, well, before I tell you what I got, let me tell you I have a higher middle class family (which is right below lower upper class if you didn't know), so I get a lot for Christmas in comparison to, say, Kess, who got $100 and a drawing tablet. So, here's a list of what I got for Christmas!

-Hatsune Miku, SNK, and No Game No Life posters

-$50 Pier 1 gift card

-$40

-Mastering Manga 1 and 2 by Mark Crilley

-The Sims 4 (Well, I will be when it comes out for Mac)

-A Snowman Nutcracker (as is tradition)

-A Big Amethyst (My favorite gem!)(From Jaywalker)

-A black beanie that says "Bad Hair, Don't Care" (which is totally me)

-Clay (Which I love)

-And an Amazon $25 gift card

I ended up using the Amazon gift card for my Winry cosplay.

I know Sushi already has her cosplay ready (it's awesome) and Kess is proKESStinating. Heh heh. But, I found a PERFECT vest for her Touka cosplay.

I also went to my Oma and Opa's house. Oma and Opa is German for Grandmother and Grandfather. My dad's mom is 100% German. Anyways, I got a $40 mall gift card which I used to buy Squidmas presents for Sushi and Kess from Hot Topic. Of course, while I was there, I also got myself 2 t-shirts and 2 wristbands. Currently all of the merch I have:

-SNK: 1 t-shirt, 1 poster, 1 wristband, 1 keychain

-Hetalia: 1 t-shirt, 1 wristband

-Vocaloid: 1 t-shirt, 1 poster

-Death Note: 1 t-shirt

-Sword Art Online: 1 t-shirt

-No Game No Life: 1 poster

-Fullmetal Alchemist: 1 t-shirt

Oh yeah! I also started learning German! Kess is too apparently! So, Kess and I are both being study buddies in Japanese and German, and I hope she'll teach me some Mandarin. I started learning German because, like I mentioned before, I am 25% German (My Oma is 100% German). Kess and I also want to learn French, but we probably won't get to it. Actually, there's a German exchange student at Tigress's school, and he knows like 5 languages. He was born in Russia and moved to Germany, so he knows Russian, German, English, Spanish, and something else which I forget. And he's fluent in all of these languages.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed me bragging about what I got for Christmas! Yes, remember to check out my friends blogs!

The First Fun Friday!~

Hello~!
Welcome to the First Fun Friday, December 26, 2014~

In this first one, we have many awesome things for you, including:
-Weekly Video
-Weekly Song
-Otaku Update
-Cool Youtube Channel
-A Hilarious Blog!

Well, here's an awesome video my piano teacher showed me about a 5-year-old piano prodigy!

Okay, for this week's song, we have an awesome Rin and Len (my favorite Vocaloids) duet that is actually kind of sad.

Otaku Update! So, this is not for actual otaku news (most of the time), rather it's a personal update and opinions relating to anime, manga, light novels, or pretty much anything otaku related.

Well, as I kept hearing about how the Tokyo Ghoul manga is so much better than the anime, and as tumblr was exploding with multiple hair color Kaneki, I decided to go ahead and read the manga. I am currently at chapter 46 and still reading. The manga is way better, I can verify. If you liked/loved the anime (like me), you will LOVE the manga. Trust me.

I also saw, of course on tumblr, about a manga about human-shaped holes that suddenly appeared in a mountain side called The Enigma of Amigara. I read it out of curiosity.
It fished me up, man.
If you don't want to read it, I'll summarize it for you.
***Spoilers***
A earthquake recently happened, and a bunch of human-shaped holes that go on for seemingly infinity appear in a fault line. A guy, out of curiosity, hikes to the spot, like many other people. There he meets a woman and a man, who claim they saw "their holes", holes that took their exact body shape. They are tempted to go in. The man goes in first, and is never seen again. The woman wants but is scared to go into her hole. One night, she goes into her hole, and is never seen again. On the second night of camping, the guy has a dream about an ancient tribe who carved holes for criminals, who were forced to walk in them. Slowly, bit by bit, the holes twisted a pulled the body into unimaginable, distorted figures. He then wakes up, screaming. Later, the other side of the fault is found, with weird holes that could not resemble anything. Though, one guy shouts "look over here!". In the last page, we see a "body" in the hole, distorted into horrible figures.
***End of Spoilers***

The Otaku update is going to be pretty long this time.

In other otaku news, Kess and I are working on a manga based on an old creepypasta (horror story) we wrote together a while ago. You can read the original version here.

Okay, since I am working on a manga, why not have a manga/art based channel, owned by a professional Amerimanga creator, with 2 manga art tip books, 2 book series finished and a new one on the way? This guy is Mark Crilley, an awesome artist and awesome guy.

And, here is a hilarious blog. Just to say, the owner of this blog is the creator of the "Clean All the Things!" meme. Yeah. You can visit her blog here.

Well, that's it for this week's Fun Friday! Thanks for reading!

Ace and Christmas

Hiya!~
Ace here for a Christmas post!
So, first Imma go over some updates, and then we'll talk about *gasp* Christmas

Well, my friend Kess has a blog of her own now. Now I just want you to click the link on my sight and see the differences in our blogs. Very different.
She also has a fan blog, which was her original blog, until I convinced her to not be a complete Koreaboo.
(Haha kidding love ya Kess)

So, in other news, I love eggnog *sips eggnog*.

In other other news, I tried to get a favicon (the little icon that appears next to a page tab's title (like the blogspot B)) but Blogspot is being stupid and won't work.

It even changed colors. The quality is really sucky because it's supposed to be REALLY small.
I might edit it a little more.

So, CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Well, I've scheduled this to upload on the very first second of Christmas, because it's that GLORIOUS.

I'VE SPENT THE LAST HALF AN HOUR WORKING ON A PONG FAVICON I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING.
HERE IT IS.

Don't judge the slowness.

Okay well now I'm working on a rainbow one. Don't judge.

OKAY IT'S BEEN FOREVER BUT I'M DONE
TAKE IT
260 FRAMES BABY

It's beautiful.

So um well I hope you guys have a good Christmas, I'll probably upload after Christmas too.

Merry Tumblr

Red Ornament

So yeah, I just spent the last day adding Favicons to my posts.

Okay, well now let's talk about Christmas Traditions!

We don't have very many traditions, but there are 2.

The first one is pretty new. Every Christmas Eve we go to The Habit. We started it last year kinda accidentally and this year, without even realizing it, we went again. The Habit is delicious.

The second one has been going on for about 5 years now. Each year, each kid gets their own nutcracker and sometimes we get a family one. How many do we have? 20?

No. We have 33 nutcrackers.

They are all lined up on our huge windowsill (our living room main wall is a window wall).

So yeah, those are our traditions. Also we get to open one present each on Christmas Eve, but I'm not sure if that would be considered a "tradition".

Okay, it's Christmas Eve, and I had to go last-minute Christmas shopping for my brother, who will be referred to as Jaywalker for absolutely no reason at all. His name isn't even Jay. Anyways, I got Jaywalker a Minecraft Cow plushie from Hot Topic. He already has a Creeper and Enderman plushie. While at Hot Topic, of course, I couldn't resist getting an AOT bracelet and AOT keychain.

Last time at Hot Topic I went with Kess and got a Vocaloid shirt (Kess got the same one), an AOT shirt (Kess also got one), a Fullmetal Alchemist shirt, and a Hetalia shirt. Kess also got a My Neighbor Totoro shirt and a Kiki's Delivery Service shirt. All in all, it only cost me about $10 because I had a $35 gift card and the whole store was Buy One Get One Half Off. Kess pretty much just used Kmom's money. Anyways, you get the fact that I love Hot Topic.

So, my sister, who will be referred to as Tigress from now on (she likes tigers?), was there also, and she saw a Fall Out Boy bracelet that she really liked, so I got it for her. I also got her some pretty Blue/Teal/Green earrings and a white simple set or earrings. I think she'll like them.

Kess also hasn't put together her cosplay yet. *Sigh*. You can see that at her blog.

I'm going to post later what I got for Christmas, so see you soon!~

Ace and Three: SQUIDMAS

Hello~!
Ace here back for my third post!

So, I've been out of school for 4 days now, and Christmas is in 3 days. I hope you all have been having a good time!

A red ornament

Well, I recently got addicted to Tumblr, like any good internet addict should. My account is currently an Armin Arlert (from Attack on Titan) roleplay, called Armin-Alpaca-Arlert. Because I wanted to be him but many names were taken. So, I decided just to make a headcanon that Armin likes alpacas. I guess he read about them in his book. If you are interested, you can check out my blog here.

Tumblr, Merry Tumblr

So, enough of that spam. Nothing much really happened this week. However, I still need something to write about! Hmmmm....

SQUIDMAS!

So, yeah. Squidmas. Squidmas is a holiday celebrated by the Jellysquids (my group of friends). It takes place January 1-12, and is celebrated by giving gifts. Sushi, Kess, and my gift this year to each other is SacAnime. Queen already gave me a notebook and card, Ice gave me a new manga pen (she previously broke my other one). So I got/am getting my gifts from everyone. But I'm sure you also don't care that much about that.

So, I was getting impatient about writing on my blog (I just love it so much!) so I was thinking about writing 2x a week. I will have my regular Monday post and I'm thinking of having a Fun Friday post. Those posts will be posted on Friday (obviously) and will include many cool, fun things, like new games, songs, and videos, and an Otaku segment. That way, after a long week of work or school (or both), you can come to my blog for a fun time. Don't make that sound wrong. Also, the Weekly Video will be moved to my Fun Friday posts.

I just realized I started 4 of my 6 paragraphs with "so".

Oh, yeah, one more thing. I started reading this sci-fi book called Ender's Game (which also has a movie now). It's awesome. I finished it in 3 days. And it's a fat book. I can't wait to get the next two books and watch the movie. So yeah, I highly recommend this book. Seriously.

So, thanks for reading my post, and Merry Christmas and a Happy Squidmas.

Ace and Two: But She's a Mom

Hello~
I am writing this on Saturday, but I'll publish it on Monday, as scheduled.
And I felt like you totally needed to know that.
Totally.

So, today we had musical rehearsal. On Saturdays those usually go from 9 to 4. 
Which if you're wondering, that's 7 hours, as long as a regular school day.
But I'm not complaining, I love acting.
Anyways, to the story, I have gotten the stomach flu about 5 times in the last school year, so I actually know more about it than my actual mom.
And she's a mom.
But, as we all know, moms are invincible when it comes to common illnesses, so my mom doesn't actually know how it feels.
Unless she got it a lot when she wasn't a mom.

The blue thing is a sickness.

Anyways, I know how the stomach flu works. So, when my eyes started to not work properly, basically I emotionally prepared myself for Hell until my parents came to pick me up.

But of course I couldn't just say "My eyes won't focus. I'm deathly sick and I need to go home now and get an ibuprofen and nap for four hours."
No. I needed to wait until it actually hurt and it was too late for an ibuprofen to solve the world's problems. 

Who do we appreciate?

So, I ate lunch. In case you're wondering, Kess and Sushi were there. Kess is in orffestra (yes, orffestra, not orchestra), and Sushi is in choir/drama with me. Queen has been there but she had to leave for a dance recital just as my eyes started hating me.

I told Kess and Sushi about how I was probably going to die in the next four hours. (of course they replied "Ebola". We aren't actually that immature. We just poke fun of people who actually do that.) They were understanding and tried to cheer me up but at that time my head wasn't hurting yet, so it really may not have seemed like a big deal to them.

Oh, did I mention I was an hour late that morning because I didn't wake up till quarter to 10? So, in a rush, I forgot to bring a jacket. Luckily for me, Sushi let me borrow her jacket (which was two sizes too big, I'm the smallest in my group of friends and Sushi is the biggest). Despite the size difference, I was really thankful.

In the middle of lunch, my head started to hurt. After about 5 minutes it seemed almost like the apocalypse to me. Of course, all these sayings of death and Hell and apocalypse are just over exaggerations, but I just wanted to tell you how much a phase 4 headache in the stomach flu hurts. The first time I got the stomach flu last year, I actually broke down it hurt so much. I'm more used to it now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. It just means I can hide the Hell in my forehead.

I decided that I didn't want to stay here any longer because I wouldn't be able to take ibuprofen(which, by now you can tell, solves the apocalypse of the stomach flu in addition to 4 hours of sleeping). 

The Holy Pill (Even though it's not actually pink)

So, I went to our conveniently-outside amphitheatre where rehearsals were taking place, and after finding the only one there was the orffestra teacher (who also teaches me piano as of a month ago). So I told him and he said he could tell I didn't look good (my skin was pale) which was no news. Every time I had a stomach flu and asked to leave school (which was 3/5 times last year) the teachers all told me that 'I didn't look good' so I knew he would reply the same way.

I used Sushi's phone to call my mom and dad, but they both didn't pick up. I learned later that they were at a church service, so they had their phones turned off. Then the orffestra teacher told me to lay down in his room (which is adjourning to the main stage, and the instruments had been taken out for rehearsals) so I grabbed a couple pillows from the instruments and lay down. Sushi and Kess were there, occasionally laying their heads next to mine and joking about how we could all be "Ebola buddies"(which Sushi later titled our G+ chat)  and then the rest of the time playing games on their phones (if they got caught they would just use the excuse that they were comforting me). Despite their uselessness, they actually did comfort me just to know they would stay by my side (that is, until lunch break was over and they had to rehearse more).

About an hour later, me not being able to nap with all the noise of rehearsal, the orffestra teacher let me call again. Luckily, this time my mom picked up, and even more luckily, they were only five minutes away.

After being picked up, I took a couple ibuprofen and napped. If you're a light sleeper like me, usually it will take a couple naps before you feel completely recovered.

So, I left at about 1 and woke up around 4:30.

Immediately after I got Skittles (my favorite candy) and started to write this.
Thank you guys for listening to me complain about how I'm a sickly child. Now, onto other news...

This week was surprisingly great other than today. I'm pretty sure I ACEd my two science tests and I know I ACEd my social studies test. As of now there are only 4 more days of school and 1 rehearsal until a 2-week winter break. On the second week of break Kess, Sushi, Kess's neighbor and I are going to our first anime convention, SacAnime (well, except Kess's neighbor, but she's a couple years older so she's been to I think 3 or 4 anime conventions). Even though I may have watched 21 anime as of now and read some manga and light novels, I actually only got into anime last July, so I didn't really go to any conventions yet.

In case you're wondering, I'm going to roleplay as Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist in her casual outfit. We actually only began to think about last month, so I didn't have much time to put together an outfit, and my parents had to pay 15,000 dollars for something about our other house up even more north California, so my siblings and I won't get as much stuff for Christmas this year. I have about the same hair color and length as Winry, and her casual outfit is pretty basic, so I thought why not go as her? I originally was going to go as Christa, but I wouldn't be able to get the SNK outfit in time. So that's how I ended up going to go as Winry to SacAnime.

Eye of Winry

Oh, let me tell you, I don't live in Sacramento, but it was the closest good anime convention near me (I live in northern California) so I used what I could. I also can't drive yet and my parents would never take me to an anime convention so I let Kess convince her parents to take me, and then after we got Sushi into anime she decided to come along too. Kess can be pretty persuasive, so I can imagine it wasn't hard to get her parents to take us, especially since her mom (who shall be referred to as Kmom from now on) watched anime in her high school and college years. Kess is 100% Taiwanese, and born and raised mostly in Taiwan, so her parents like to embrace Asian culture (even though they're not Japanese). Sometimes, after Kess or I discover a cool anime or kdrama, Kmom will stay up all night and binge-watch the whole show.

I'm not kidding.

Well, back to the subject of SacAnime, Kess is going as Touka-chan from Tokyo Ghoul. (which she adores as much as I do), and Sushi is going as Hanji from Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin (Sushi is like Kmom, a binge-watcher, so she finished the whole Attack on Titan season in about 3 days). Hanji is perfect for Sushi. They have similar hair colors, they both wear glasses, and they are both nearly insane, so I find that Sushi won't have a hard time going as Hanji.

Eye of Touka

Well, thank you guys so much for reading this. If anything happens between now and after school Monday, I'll update this. Once again, thanks!

~Ace loves chu!~


Oh, and new thing: Video for the Week!

Since I just re-watched the entire season of Tokyo Ghoul and started the manga, and since this song makes you cry even over the burning of an ancient library that people on tumblr say humanity could be really advanced if they hadn't burned it, here is the Tokyo Ghoul theme, "Unravel", music box version!

Ace and One: TIS I

Hello~

*cough cough* Let me restate that...


TIS I, ACE. TIS TRUE, TIS I, ACE. TWAS BUT A- sorry. Got a little carried away there.

Anyways. I'm Ace, and this is my blog, Ace and Numbers.

Basically I'm gonna try and us e proper grammarz and also I'm going to attempt to post once a week, preferably on Mondays, around 2 or 4. Depends on whether I have musical rehearsal.

Oh yeah, musical. I am really into acting, ever since 2nd grade since I got the main part of "puppy" in a [lame] musical called "It's Raining Cats and Dogs."

Have you ever noticed how actually weird quotation marks ending a sentence are? I mean, it's like the ending quotation mark is the beginning of the next sentence.
[Edit: by this I meant from "It's Raining Cats and Dogs.", the quotation marks come after the period.]

Should that mean the first letter shouldn't be capitalized because the quotation mark is the first?

Well, it's not a letter, but- oh gosh sorry got off topic there.

Anyways, I'm going to just post on this blog usually about once a week. Maybe more, maybe less.

Less would be 0. Great math Ace.

So, before we start, I need to introduce you to some people...and creatures. Some are real, some aren't, because I'm just so weird that I make up fake people with weird names and junk.



So, let's begin with the nonexistent people:

William- He's my butler. He's just a nice butler.

Myryn- Myryn is the latest addition to my mansion. She is a very clumsy maid. She is a little like Sugu.

Mogo- Mogo's full name is Mogonian. He's a regular demon originally from the Fourth Dimension of the Nether, until he committed the terrible crime and his family got demoted to the Third Dimension. After that, he returned to his real father, a Vionence demon who was stationed in the Second Dimension. Crushed by depression, he returned to the human dimension, where he was taken in my Ace, where he lived in her [nonexistent] mansion as her assistant. Secretly wanting to be like his father, he often claims to be Ace's war assistant, though in reality the worst thing to happen in Ace's mansion was Myryn spilling milk on her first day, so war is out of the question. Mogo is very hot-headed and a perfectionist. He often scolds Mam (most of the time for being an idiot).

Mam- Mam is Ace's other assistant. He is a Destrin demon from the Fourth Dimension of the Nether. One day, after Mogo had found Ace's mansion, Mam saw a bunny and followed it to a portal to the human dimension (which are very illegal in the Nether). Curious, he went in. Since then, he has lived in Ace's mansion as her assistant. He also now loves bunnies and the bunny that led him to the mansion he keeps as a pet. He is very oblivious and, to be honest, stupid.

Pasta- Mam's pet bunny.

Mavis- Mavis is a frequent guest at the Mansion. She is a Contagion demon. She is very close friends with Mogo, she was his neighbor when he lived in the Fourth Dimension. So far, without any family to worry about her, Mavis has frequently traveled between the Nether and the human dimension. Mavis is very realistic and caring.

Lobster- Lobster is a tiny reindeer. He is also Ace's lawyer, even though he is truly horrible at it. Lobster has a huge conscience and so every case he cannot lie like most lawyers.

Sugu- Sugu is the spirit of the Book of Ace. She is also very clumsy and constantly apologizes. However, she is also very caring and optimistic.

Atari- Atari is the spirit of the Rules of Ace. He is very friendly but also strict. He often scolds Sugu.

So yeah, those are my non-existent characters.


It's normal.


Now, my actual friends (using their alibis):

Kess- She is my VEWY BEWST FWEND. She loves anime (like me) and loves kpop and Kdramas too. She is actually a lot like me, except she's a little more mature and more pessimistic. Because that information is important.

Sushi- Sushi is less mature than both me and Kess. She also is getting into anime. She may seem very outgoing, but in reality she's a little self-aware. She also may be insane, and she enjoys laughing with food in her mouth. She also has seen one or two Kdramas as of this post.

Ice- Ice is one of my newer friends, she was a new student at my school this year. She is very quiet and sometimes I may seem like I hate her. But I assure you, I don't. She watched Attack on Titan but didn't like it, but she's seen a couple of Kdramas. Also may be referred to as Sprinka. Don't ask.

Queen- Queen was also a new student this year, though she is pretty much the opposite of Ice. Maybe I should call her Fire or whatever. Queen seems pretty much like she doesn't know what anime or kdramas are. She is very aggressive (don't make it that way) and she's mean to me. I don't wanna be her friend anymore WAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH- I mean sorry what.

More people may come up as we go along.

Also, despite how this post may sound, I don't have ADHD and I'm actually the whitest person in my group of friends. I have like 14% "colored" race and the rest is pretty much English, German, and other white ethnicities.

So, I have a whole list of my favorite anime, all anime I finished and all anime I'm watching, my favorite characters, and my ships on my Google+ profile, so if you're interested be sure to check that out!

~Ace loves Chu!~
