At least I'm not alone in having bad spelling.

Hahaha! Well you will get used to computers and have a computer guru with you if you ever happen to wipe your drive.

Well, Gold and Silver version of Pokemon is great to learn from and they have a longer play time than the rest of the version so far. They can go into about two different lands so it takes a lot longer to beat the entire game throught out. It also has morning, day, and night times to make the game much more challenging to collect all the pokemon. Since, some only appear at different times of the day. So, Gold and Silver versions are great to play with.

We are getting a lot of rain and since this is April we get a lot of rain hitting the east coast. I realy don't like the rain when it starts pouring out like a couple of days of ago and also it was snowing in the morning. A little drizzle I can stand, but drench me from head to toe,
/(-_-)/~ emoticon ahhh run for your lives!

P(>_<) emoticon I couldn\'t spell if my life depended on it. I need to open another window with google on it to correct me. XD

I didn\'t get a new computer, I just wiped my drive so I can get rid of all the junk I didn\'t need in my computer. They just clutter up my coputer making it slower than it really is. Than I just added to some new software and updates and it feels like new again.
P(T_T) emoticon Aahhhh! The feel of sweet victory of overcoming those stupid clutters and worms.
My computer stills runs on Windows XP which is okay with me and I\'m also trying to put on another Operating System on my computer, so I can have two and work much more efficiently and get a new learning experince with dual OSs on my computer.

My Spring Break is over and now I\'m back in school typeing this in computer class. (9+_+) emoticon Curses...school and torture of long lectures. But weather is hitting the East Coast so I can\'t enyjoy fun in the sun yet. By the looks of it, are you having sunny weather where you are?

What sort of things am I doing? I\\\'m doing a lot of things. The moment I sent the PM post to you the feeling was short lived.p(T_T)q emoticon
My mom wanted me to type up her term paper for her Cardio Vascaluar Thearpy (sorry if I can not spell right XD) class and I just reinstalled my computer with new windows saofware and updates plus starting my computer with new everything for that matter. At least I can\\\'t complain now that I\\\'m bored, but I was sleeping in late for some of my break. (._.); emoticon

I love these new, cute, little icons, don\'t you? XD

If your cousin gets the game make sure he buys the Wi-Fi connector so I caould battle him over the internet. XD

HAHA!! I see what you mean. I know I get distracted when I want to get something done or need to study. Work piles up on me too. But for now I relaxing on Spring break. :)

How long it took to release Genesis? Well, I have to say that is probably took 3 years for any information what so ever that a new series of zoids was coming out. I didn't know anything until I did several searches on google and rumors started popping up. Then a couple of years later a new series was coming up on youtube.com and I watched it with japanese subtitles.

Which zoids best suits me? Hhmm...that's a toughy. I would say that the Mursame Liger would be my new favorite. The Mursame Liger can transform into the Hyate Liger and the Mugen Liger for more capabilities. Top that off it is sleek and stylish, especially when it transform in to Hyate with shades of red and yellow. But Liger Zero is also my favorite because like the Mursame Liger the Liger Zero can also transform into several other froms for more combat skills. So bascially, I think, both because they can transform into something simaliar for added capabilities.

I love church to me it feel relaxation from the week I have been through. Plus, I have friends who are right there. A very happy place for me. XD

Science does interest me, but it is not something I would emerse myself into. Interesting subjects, but nothing that would get me interested for long.

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl would be coming out this April 22nd. If your planning on buying anything wait to get the game the next day. Whatever they say is to do the release date it is always the shipping date. So for Pokemon it is coming out the 22nd is actually the shipping date. The real date is is basically the 23rd of April.

Crunchyroll.com is a great place to watch anime that have never been aired in the US or Canada for that matter. Most are in Japanese, but some have been aired in Australia and might get that in english. They have hundreds of shows to choose from, but sometimes if an anime is licensed they might not show it on crunchyroll.com anymore.

Zoids Geneis looks very promising by story and the look of the zoids. The creators have put a lot of effort on developing Genesis. My favorite zoids, I have quite a few, are Liger Zero, Blade Liger, Mersume Liger, Hyate Liger, Mugen Liger, Berserk Fury, Liger Zero Jager, Bio Volcano, and sevral others. I don't think that is a few, but I like them. ^_^

I have long Spring Break. Up to maybe the 16th of April that I have to go back to school. I did go to the services. Our church is not that big, but we had to have two services just to make room for more people that came. quite nice really how much people com, but that happens only about once a years.

Getting into that field, I think, is fun. You just need to learn how to get used to the programs they offer you.

Oh, I suppose I have been playing the Pokemon games since the original games came out in 97'. I have been playing them for now 10 years, but, to me, it is such a addictive game to play leveling and training.

I have seen all of the installments of Zoids. Cartoon Network once showed all the series, but they don't no more. The first season of Zoids is called Chaotic Century, than Guardian Force, which is a continuation from Chaotic Century. New
Century is like the third season that has no relation to the first two, and only consists of about 26 episodes I think. Fuzors is the fourth season, but that
season I have to tell you just sucks. Bad plot and bad graphics. Seeing that season made me want to cry, and only 13 episodes were ever aired in the US.
They took it off the aired before it even finished. Now Zoids Genesis is the
next season from what I saw in YouTube and CrunchyRoll.com. It is a step up from the failure of Fuzors. So basically I have seen all the installments and have yet to collect the Chaotic and Guardian Force Seasons on DVD.

Sorry, it took so long to write I was busy with school work and a few other assignments that took me away from the computer.

Making 3D looking animation is hard, but it's quite fun to look at. I love the continous flow of the charcters. It's smooth an refine. I love anything that have sharp flowing pictures.

The games are like a continous thin, but that was what made the franchise so popular. You can beat the main story of the game and like most other games there are side stories you can follow, and yes, you can only imporve with the game. After you have beaten the main story.

Thank you for the information about Ocean Group and the production of Zoids. I hope they start airing it. I love the show and the mechanized robots.
*_* I hope they air soon.

Possibly, I haven't yet figured out yet what I am going to do after I graduate high school.

I too have a challenge with algebra. Mostly I get confused with negatives and positives when you have to either add or subtract. Sometimes I couldn't tell the difference. XD

Yeah, I would go crazy too, if I had to do two projects so close to each other. I would go nuts on Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantsy.

The Crystal Version of pokemon is an older version. That and Silver and gold had day and night times. To me, it felt much more challenging. But there are nwer versions of pokemon like Ruby and Sapphire and FireRed and LeafGreen versions that are mostly are a remade versions of the originals that came out in like 97'. The pokemon series is fun when you get used to it.

Yes, that would be gladly appreciate. I really like to know since zoids was an anime from Ocean Group.

Well the whole program is seperated into 4 classes. Computers, graphic arts, printing, and photography. In each class there are four courses. I haven\'t been to all the courses yet so I wouldn\'t know what they had in photography since I didn\'t take that class. But the program takes about 2 years to complete or if your a post-secondary(people who gradurated highschool) to learn for another 2 years. Now when you first start your first year in the program you get to try which courses or classes you want to get a feel of it. So you would be mixed around the classes to get the special courses you picked at the beginning of the year. On your second year you use the experinces that you used from your first year to pick which courses and classes you want to stay in to get experince in the particular field. But you would not get a major. To get a major in what you want you have to stay for about 3 or 4 years. So even if you went into the program you would not get a certificate that you majored in this field if you attended for only 2 years. You have to be a post-secondary and pay(since your are not in highschool anymore)you classes to attended and get a major.
Courses
Art Courses cover the creation of computerized art for print production, video and electronic media. Includes: Art for Reproduction, Electronic Art and Design, Intro to Digital Video and Animation and Web Design.

Photography Courses cover the techniques of traditional and digital photography in advertising, portraiture and fine art. Includes: Digital Photography, Desktop Publishing, Wet Lab Photography and Studio Lighting.

Printing Courses emphasize the use of current technologies in printing and graphic reproduction. Includes: Graphic Techniques, Press Operation,
Screen Printing and Production Graphics.

Computer Technology Courses cover the techniques of visual communication technology, page design and employability skills. Includes: Introduction to Computer Technology, Related Technology Skills, Career and Employability Skills and Electronic Portfolio.
These are the classes that you can pick in this program. Again if you stay in one class or 2 classes for a total of 4 years you can get a major certificate for those classes, if you stay long enough. Plus if your a post-secondary you can stay for the whole 2 sessions to finish the courses a lot faster than just taking one morning or afternoon session.


For me at school I like english and geometry. For some reason I can understand geometry than I could with algebra XD. But it can get pretty boring for me. Ive learned most of the math and english courses that I fall asleep or just daydream cause it is just that boring or it could the problem I don\'t eat in the morning and my stomach grows, I don\'t know. But it can get really boring especially when my teacher rambles on about her day. Ugh.

I did any drawings in my sketch book lately. I\'ve been pretty busy to start anything and it is almost spring break so maybe I\'ll start during then.

Now I know why there wasn\'t any Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix in the US. It\'s because the US release version of Kingdom Hearts I was already a Final Mix. In the japanese release they didn\'t have certain bosses that was in the US version. To the US there was no point because they already had it on! They released the US version as Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix with japanese subtitles. Top that off Sauresoft is postponing their third installment to Kingdom Hearts 3 because they are working on Final Fantsy Versus 13. Even though they have a Kingdom Hearts team their works are unknown at this time. Now with Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+, you know, they would have Chain or Memoires, blah, blah and so forth. But now I now why there was no Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix in the US.

I can\'t wait to play the new Pokemon games. Even though it\'s for kids, I like the game play and the training and the leveling up. To it so much fun cause I\'m a battle freak. I also, like that they brought back the day and night back from the Gold, Silver, and Crystal version(which I like). But in Diamond and Pearl they have five different times of the day. Like morning, day, afternoon, evening, and night. So it is much more challenging for catch pokemon. The Wi-Fi connection is a great feature too. I can battle anybody over the net anywhere in the world. Which is so coool! I love that part.I don\'t like the show, I used to like it, but I don\'t now. Why? Because the pokemon show is a 30-min commercial that consists of nothing of Ash and friends on his journey and Team Rocket getting their butts kicked by Ash. Just see one episode and you\'ve seen them all.

Yep, I knew it! Does you cousin know anything about about knew anime that are coming? Like Zoids Genesis? O_O I love zoids.

The program is called the Graphic Arts Academy or just Graphic Arts. You can go into this program if your in a Vocational School. I\'m still in highschool, but half of my highschool time is cut short to support Vocational School. I just go to highschool for a few hours hen go home, but I love Vocational School cause I get to learn something more than I ever did in my home school. The Graphic Arts Program consists of Photography, Computers, Printing, Video Animation, Intro to Print, Web Design and more. There are about 16 programs in this one program. Can you learn all of it, no. Even for me its hard to keep up and it takes 2 years to complete. You can also stay in the program more than two years. Stay in for 4 years and you can get a major in the program that you were in the most. Which I think is very useful if you want to go to college and let that support you. It is a very good program who likes computers and a creative mind.

Yeah, I have to start practicing drawing more. Even though I can draw I can\'t draw out of my head yet. So, practice makes perfect.

Thanks for straighting that out. I didn\'t know that the special editions of Destiny came out with that many movie type DVDs. So they did what they made from the Seed series with exclusive add ons and what not.

Not surprising that it takes that long for the movies to get here.

I;m waiting for the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. They will keep me busy until Final Mix will come out. Plus it has Wi-Fi connetion so I can hook up to the internet with everybody online, of course this can\'t happen if I don\'t have USB Wi-Fi connector. My friend, who I told about Final Mix, is very excited that it\'s coming out. So maybe I\'ll get to play it over her house when it is released.

Does you cousin work for Ocean Group that is in Vancouver, Canada or something like that? I know there have been a lot of production site out there especially in British Columbia.

Actually yes, I can save my work on their Photoshop. It is part of the program I\'m in so you have to be proficient in Photoshop. I\'m not good at it yet, snice it is hard to draw with a mouse, with my right hand! i might add. But it\'s fun.

I have a tough time trying to make shaded drawings or for that matter anything that has color. The only thing I have color in our house is crayons and I don\'t think I want to do that to a drawing that took me about couple hours to do. I have several soft shading drawings that look good, but to me not good enough. Drawing anime looks easy, until you meet pencil with paper. It feels to easy to draw this until you try to draw it. When I see something I just try to draw it free hand so I can get the feel on what I am suppose to do. I\'m also going to practice on free drawing with pokemon. It\'s kiddy I know, but some pokemon art has soft shading, which to me, is easier to draw than cell shading.

Wait a minute here. Final Plus is the last episode re-done. Your talking about the movie that takes place a few months after the last episode. There were two types of episode 50, one that was running for 30 min and another that was running for about 45 min, give or take a few, and added some scenes that made it to a longer time. Most Gundam Seed fans didn\'t like how the last episode ended so the producers decided to make a re-make of it. I have just found that tread I saw a couple of months ago and they had this picture in the tread.

They say the movie is called Gundam SEED Destiny Special Edition 4. Probably there were other movies. But Final Plus was the re-make of the last episode of 50. The image is quite blurry, but if you look closely there is Kira and Athrun.

I love that idea where you can just watch to cut scenes. I like that a lot. More info to KH:2 and to KH3. Now I can tell my friends all this new extension for KH. I really want to play the game, but I\'m waiting for another game to release that is coming this Apirl.

Yeah, if you have ever seen Final Plus it is long a re-make epp. You how they change the opening and closings after about every 11 or 12 episodes. On Final Plus the song \"Vestige\" from T.M. Revolution that is not in the other episodes making Final Plus the only one and the closing is parts where Lacus is chairman of ZAFT. I shouldn\'t chairman, but women XD. Anyway, the Final Plus is like about 45 mintues long with added scenes that didn\'t show in to original episode 50.

I really like you new avatar. Do you make you avatars or did you find them in the net?

I have Photoshop but it is an weaker version that I had for free from the library it works okay with me and at school they have much more advanced Photoshop programs like CS1 & 2 I could fool around with ^_^.

I have several drawings in my sketch book that are good and some are not. I didn't know I could draw until I was bored in the house one day and started to draw. I was surprised I can do that. I'm with you, that I can't draw people properly, but I try. I can draw dragons really good and some mytical ceatures, but people to a big if for me. If you don't like your charcoal drawings to get smuged up or anything try to find a plastic like those you see from projectors and protect your drawing and the scanner glass. Much better that way. Yes, it is true that most scanners can't get all of the drawing but also maybe copy the drawing on a copier with a darker tint and copy it that way and then scan it. That might help.

I have to look around to find that Gundam Seed Destiny box sets. Most likely I would have to order it from Barnes & Noble. But I'll check around here for it.

Yes, I've heard about that. They say that the Gundam Seed Movie takes place a few months after the last war. A while ago someone on the forums had a image from the actual movie! Most of us couldn't tell if it was real, but in it you can clearly see Kira in a ZAFT uniform and Artrun in a ORB uniform!

I didn't know that there was a KH1: Final Mix. Most likely that they didn't bother selling it in the US since, if what you say, they probably thought it was not worth selling. You can see the preview like that by defeating the whole game and collecting all 101 dalmations or by playing the Hard Mode to unlock the sneak preview. Basiclly it's the same if you played KH1 and played KH2. When KH2 was getting ready for release no one knew what Roxas was or what his name was. Every forum I went too had information about KH2 and they were talking about Roxas because his picture clip was probably the first ones to be released on the internet, so everyone called hin BHK or Blond Haired Kid. It was funny XD. No matter where I went they called him that, but eventually they found out his name was Roxas. I just can't wait for KH2:Final Mix. I want to know more to the story line and more information. All this waiting it killing me >.<.

I wouldn't be surprised they edited most of Gundam SEED. They do that almost all the time when a anime is being aired. I know several anime that I know well and loved that I didn't know that there were deleted or edited secnes until someone on the internet showed clips of edited secnes. Not surprising they show an edited version on the air. Cartoon Network does it all the time they take most of the graphic secnes and edited them out which kinds of ruins us snice some of those secnes make sense to the rest of the story line. Gundam Seed DEstiny seems, to me, up to par with it translations and I've never noticed anything edited out of them, mostly stuff edited in from the like the Final Plus at the end.

Well the picture is not hand drawn, wish I could draw that good, but no it's not hand drawn. I thought I would give my Photoshop skills a try and minuplate the scan I had in my computer. It is really easy to make something like that. I had an idea and wanted to make it. Used an airbrush and fill tool to match the work.

Other extra scenes of Gundam Seed Destiny. I have to see this when they give out movie versions of Gundam Seed Destiny. It might take me a while to buy thought. Man, really need to get a real job. T_T

I don't know if there was any KH1: Final Mix. I didn't know it exsisted. If it did, it didn't make it to America. But I 'm really excited to play KH2: Final Mix. >_< I really wanted to play it. I was thinking of getting KH2, snince I rented it out, and buy that instead. I really like to play the Sora battleing Roxas. If we keep on talking about this we might go crazy in the next day or so. XD

Yes, that is true that they send out hardcovers out than the soft cover. I might hate it when they send hardcovers out first, but I can get first edition hardcovers books that way. I like it when they are in first edition. They are more priced later on in years. If you try to sell them.

I could find the box set maybe on Barnes & Noble. They show on there before it is released. But they looks of it when I bought a few of the Gundam Seed Destiny DVDs they almost looked the same as the subtitle versions I saw on Youtube. I don't think they change much in the American versions.

BC? What are the initials stand for? @~1@ Sorry if I don't realize in initials. I have poor geographical insight.

I couldn\'t remember if it was November or December. I might get the DVD. I might rent it out at first to see what it has. I know I shouldn\'t do that since I\'m an Eragon/Eldest fan, but the movie wasn\'t what it was cracked up to be. If I do get it I want to get the Limited Edition one. I really want to know if they added anything on to the DVDs.

Excitment is building, I really want it. I want it! I can\'t wait for KH2: Final Mix to come out. *fire in her eyes* Bring it on! I want to play it. I want to battle all the oppenents in the game. I\'m a battle freak, but I can\'t help it. I want to see the extra scenes the battle malee. More playing time. ohhh, I just can\'t wait.

Yes, I hate that when they bring out the hardcovers first, but when the thrid book for the Inheritance Trilogy comes out. I\'ll be the first one at the door on opening day. XD Can\'t wait.

I don\'t know about Gundam Seed over scoring Gundam Wing. It might be different depending wher you live. Over here it didn\'t get might attention. Gundam fans must of watched it to death, but the overall audenice didn\'t make the cut for the show. And cartoon network won\'t show Destiny because of the they say \"graphic content\", but they show stuff on Adult Swim that have more graphic content than Destiny. I also found out that on Comcast that they are showing Destiny on On Demand. They are showing the first five episodes but they are in japenese. I watched the first episode, but I have the first volume of the DVD so I didn\'t bother and top that off I watched just all eipsodes on youtube in japanese. But I guess rating hits matter in which area or country your in.

I live in New Jeresy.

Oh and I thought this would be fun to send.

I very much agree with you! ...The appeal was lost a while ago I think... I'd rather spend my money on Gundam Seed Astray or Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle Manga than go to a movie that I don't really want to see ^^" Well, it will come out in North America eventually... Though I do wish that the edited versions would have the same intensity and originality as the ones in Japan; ergo the Japanese versions are usually better ^^" In the meantime though, I suppose you can content yourself with Gundam Seed Destiny. It's airing on YTV Friday at 9:30pm and 1:30am Eastern and Pacific.
^ Didn't I post that? ^^"


Oops, I must of put it there when I was typing back. I copy and paste your response into what I'm about to type and I must of forgot to erase it. I do that when my mind races. My fingers can't type fast enough because my brain races faster than my hands. I'll just edit it. Sorry about that.

Speaking about the Eragon movie. I just found out that they are releasing the DVD by March 20th. I just saw the commerical yesterday. That was fast on reeasing the DVD. The movie just came out like November.

There's also a rumour that Riku's deck will have a new advantage to use. I have no clue what that could be, but I sure hope it means I can actually shuffle the deck a bit!

Are they putting the KH2: Final Mix like the Gameboy Advanced game? With battle cards and all?

Yeah I guess your right about the books. I like books but I try going for soft cover ones, cheaper.
I do the same when I go to the mall check out the book stores. But for me, most of the time, I have a Barnes & Noble store close by where I live. So, I just send in an order for any manga I want, if they don't have it, and just read it there in store XD. Doesn't take that long to read an manga and the price for most manga books are like $10 a pop. I like manga, but my budget just won't cut it if I want to buy a manga book ever other week.

Wiat, you live in Canada. That explains it. I heard that Gundam Seed Destiny was airing in Canada. Your lucky. They probably will never show in America for Gundam Seed Destiny because of more graphic secnes or it wasn't that popular with the audience. Gundam Wing was the only Gundam show that ever took off. Seed did show in America, but didn't have much fan fare with people watching it.
