One Week Left
The past week has been blissfully wonderful for me, and it's gone along so slowly (which I might add, is a really good thing). The remainder of the break will most likely be quieter days, but I don't mind that. While I do love the break, I also want to go back to school and get to be with everybody as per usual. Christmas passed without too much happening (hooray for me ^^) and I'm going to make the safe assumption that New Year's will as well.
The Day I Left Home (#4)
I'm only 15, therefore I have not left home yet. However I can tell you a tiny story about how I temporarily left home.
For one reason or another, I had gotten into another fight with my parents. Upset, I stormed out of the house and started walking. This happened fairly often and most of the time I would just walk down to Gilmore Elementary and then back, but this time I decided to go back to Begbie. A little into my walk it started to rain and I had second thoughts about it, but continued.
Eventually I made it.
I sat down at the stone steps leading down to the grassfield and started talking to myself. After a bit I had finally summarized all the events in my life and a few thoughts I had flying around. In the end it was very beneficial to me.
But yeah this is kinda dumb.
Loneliness and Sickness
Largely due to the lack of school, I have become a lonely person. Along with that I also wake up every morning with a really sore throat, but it subsides by lunch. I've now started keeping water at my bedside drawer.
Nothing to worry about though. I'm an 8 tonight. Seeya in the next post? >.<
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Trevor, Gordon, Philman, Emma and anybody else who reads but is hiding it from me.

M-Merry Christmas!
Quick Post and I'm Off
So far today has been nice to me. Right now I'm in champ select, listening to an album somebody sent me (which I'm loving so far) and writing this post >.< On another note I went out to eat earlier today and I haven't felt like eating anything else since then.
Merry Christmas to all of you guys c: I'm not the best at words so I'll just leave it at that.
Tonight I've gotta be an obligatory 9 outta 10 (cause you're the 1 I need). I'll try to make sure that it isn't the last post of the year and write something in the next few days. Until later you party hooligans.

Winter Break ^^
My Favourite Recipe (#3)
Uhhh, I really don't do too much cooking or baking or anything of the sort, which means that there aren't a lot of recipes under my "repertoire". However there is this one recipe that makes Brown Sugar Cookies. It holds a lot of sentimental value to me.

Before you ask, this isn't my writing (you could probably tell since mine looks much less refined). So I pass this on to you. Whether you decide to use it or not, it's up to you. But for those who do call upon the great recipe, I hope that you'll create some amazing memories with it.
Brrrrrrrrrr-eak
Two weeks off of school ^^ There are some ups and downs, but overall I feel pretty good about the break. It provides a nice change of pace. Errrrmm... stay safe? I suppose it's too early to wish you happy holidays /:
I don't know what to say?
Hi Emma ^^
Is that you Trevor?
Philman?!
Hmmm... who else frequents my blog?
Goodnight to you all (for a second there I considered writing "y'all" but that doesn't seem very me), and have a nice rest of the evening. Kevin's an 8 today. Fortunately his sore throat got considerably better a few hours after morning and now it's gone. Until our paths cross again~

Hi Emma and Trevor ^^
Thanks c:
Since you guys openly claim to read this blog, I suppose this is kind of an "official acknowledgement" from me. There isn't much here but I hope that YOU DON'T PRY AROUND HERE TOO MUCH HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND THIS.
Uhm. Shall we continue on with the post?
The Worst "Movie" I Have Seen
Continuing on from this list we are currently at item number 2. I don't watch a lot of movies, nor do I retain much from the bad movies, so this is kind of a bad thing to talk about. Due to this I've decided to tweak this a bit and instead write about the worst anime I have ever seen.
Pupa. I think it had a lot of... potential? When the PVs came out there was some good hype, but then once the first episode came out it kind of shriveled up and died. Everything about it was just weird. The gore wasn't any good, the direction the show was taking in us was vague. In the ending I felt like I wasted a small part of my life for no good reason.
But I don't know, maybe it's just me?
Bye Bye~
That's it for this post >.<
Until next time. I'm an 8. Only two more days of school before the break.

It Feels like a Bad Time to Post...
BUT as you can tell, that doesn't matter
I'm going to be straightforward with you in saying that I somewhat don't want to post tonight, but seeing as I've finally hit the 40K mark I decided that I may as well write something up (this one's for you <3).
As a consequence this post might feel kinda dreary (when does it not feel that way though...), but I hope that you will try your best to enjoy yourself as much as you can. I'll end this little intro off with a cute picture of Amane Suou (from Grisaia no Kajitsu) that all my friends have seen.
What Changed my Life (in Highschool)
I think the real "turning point" for me was sometime during grade nine. Don't get me wrong, I personally have no idea when it actually happened. All I know is that grade nine was the year that changed me. I had left most (if not all) of my friends in my grade and remained in contact with the few that I could. That's not to say that it was a bad year for me.
I made a lot of new friends and became much more known among the grade 10s (this year grade 11s). There was some minor hardships and I felt lonely at times, but I think overall the benefits outweighed the negative aspects.
You may be wondering why I'm talking about such a... weird subject on this blog. I've decided to follow this list for the next 50 posts (including this one) so that there will always be something to be found here. This will make the blog a bit more interesting for you and I, and that should be a good thing.
That Brings this Post to an End
Yesterday I was a 9 (something pretty good happened) and that's kinda gone over to today (I'm a 9 in other words). I'm super happy that this blog somehow managed to hit 40K and this is the part where I'd typically say something worthy of /r/cringe, but I'm gonna skip that. Until the next post ^^

Satisfying Day ^^
Volunteering and Concert
My day started off with me waking up at 6:30 a.m., falling asleep, and then somehow getting myself up at 6:50 a.m. to get myself started. I had a pretty standard band rehearsal and I went along with my day. Foods class was very nice and organized, and I felt like I had done things right. French class came along and it was (as usual) a laid back class. There wasn't too much work to do in Math class, and I spent the last 40 minutes of it writing a story among my friends. Bio involved setting up a lab and just talking with friends.
It was kind of set up to be a hectic day, with the concert happening and volunteering. Somehow I managed to power through laundry and then made it home in time to change and eat a bit for the concert. Getting to SFU was a bit of a challenge, but somehow we ended up finding our way. Once at the venue I found some energy to man the ticket booth (hopefully I was cheerful enough) and we had a pretty nice concert.
Yeah. I just feel good about this day.
tl;dr: Overcame some obstacles today and had a pretty easy/fun time.
Short Post
I've essentially explained my whole day, so asides from any thoughts I have floating around, there's nothing to blog about. Hope that you enjoyed the concert if you attended ^^ I'm exhausted from today so I'm gonna try to get some sleep soon. Kevin's a 9, and thanks for reading.

DECEMBER IS HERE
EVERYBODY LISTEN UP BECAUSE I'M ONLY GOING TO SAY THIS ONCE A YEAR.
I don't like Christmas that much. Any thoughts that I have on Christmas include feeling like you can't eat anymore and being full of fat. Gift receiving/giving isn't really my jam, but despite this I don't ignore the fact that it is a holiday in the end.
There are a lot of aspects of Christmas that I like, but just not enough to balance out the things that I don't like. For example, I love hot chocolate and snow (not the "snow" that we have right now though). I really like the cold weather and enjoy it even more if it's not raining. So I'm not a party pooper when it comes to it.
Here's a generic picture for you plebs (joking joking, I love you guys/gals).
tl;dr I don't hate Christmas, but I don't love it to the extent that other people do.
I'm Pretty Sad Actually
When I wake up I want to punch something, because I feel like there's nothing to look forward to. By the time that I'm doing getting ready for breakfast and school, I'm in a better mood, but things really start to come together when I'm interacting with others. In short, school is a nice place for me, where I can just be with friends.
I think that I'm looking at things in a bad light. Maybe I should look forward to the French project that I have, or the biology test tomorrow. Of course it's kind of a stretch to change so much, but it's one of my goals to have done by the end of the year ^^
What I really want is to look ahead and always be prepared for anything that comes my way. It'll take work, but it seems like such a valuable thing to have.
By the way, don't take this as an "I'm depressed" signal. I'm far from being depressed, I meant "sad" as in a pathetic way.
Shoutout to Jenn Before I Go
Let's all give a warm applause to Jenn who picked up the French textbook and workbook of yours truly. I really can't express my gratitude for her looking after me not only this time, but all the other times she probably has. Thanks ^^ You really picked up my day.
That's it then. Phew. I'm pretty happy with the state of this post. Now I'm off to go study bio and hopefully do well on the test tomorrow. Glad that you're still here to finish reading the post. Merci beaucoup. I'm an 8 today, and I'll see you next time.

Report Cards and Such
TODAY WE GOT REPORT CARDS
And it just goes to show that what you think is something that you're happy with is something that somebody else will be disappointed with. I'm pretty much fine with all my marks, but no matter how "sad" or "depressing" it may sound, it's ultimately not my opinion.
Yeah I wonder where I'll end up a few years from now. Maybe it'll all be fine. I don't know.
Enough with Sulking ^^
Uhm. Hi.
I don't know what to write about anymore.
You're very cute, you know that?
Feel good about yourself.
I'm an 8 tonight. Seeya in the next post.

Eyyyyyy ^^
Thanks c:
A huge thanks to everybody who made my day great. I absolutely love everything that I received and the people behind the gifts and birthday wishes. Sorry for the somewhat belated post. You may know already but I don't enjoy talking about my own birthday on the actual day that it takes place.
Really can't stress how much I appreciate everything. It was something that I really needed.
Done with the Cringe
There's a bad habit that I have with this blog: capitalizing each word in a post title or subheader. So starting now I'll strive towards an appropriately-punctuated-blog.
Subheader actually has dual meaning. It means done with a) birthday cringe, and b) capitalization cringe. Maybe this is another cringe worthy thing. Ew cringe.
I'll Leave You with This
Wow I love Hyouka so much.
Anyhoo that's it for this poorly written post. Tonight I'm a 9 and I'll hopefully post soon? ^^

Only 1K More To Go c:
Just Shy Of 40K
Wow everything's gone by so quickly and now I'm already done Term 1 and heading into the second term. I haven't been giving my blog enough affection and while I was being ignorant it somehow racked up 39K views. It's a small number, but it's something that Phil can still laugh at me about.
Hoping that we'll hit at least 40K by early or mid December, just in time to do something like a Christmas themed post. I actually don't really know what to do for themed posts. Maybe I'll tweak up the blog to fit the holiday spirit. I should get started on that now, because if I do something like that I want it to be really nice.
Gah This Is Boring
Famous words of Emma, "You're boring."
But yeeeeeaaah. I don't know what to type about... there isn't anything that's especially meaningful.
Q: SO KEVIN HOW'S YOUR LUB LIFE?
A: It's dead.
Q: AND HOW BOUT THAT ANEEM?
A: Can't find will to power through last week's Log Horizon episode. I'm a few episodes short of completing Special A. Today Trinity Seven comes out and I want to find some time later to watch that.
Q: WHY AM I ASKING MESELF QUESTIONS (AND IN SUCH BAD GRAMMER TOO)?
A: Largely because the blog is terrid and I don't get any questions on my ask.fm anyways. Your "grammer" is bad due to the fact that you're just another doofus personality stuck inside me waiting to burst out.

I'm gonna go cry and look for some food. Sorry for the upsetting post.

Palms Sweaty, Knees Weak, Arms Are Heavy
Title Is Accurate Representation Of Me Right Now
Just finished a three hour long session of reffing for Bantam Girls Volleyball. My lips are burning and the aching feeling in my ears is accompanied by a throbbing headache. To be honest I was really glad when it all ended (Alpha did end up making it to the next round, so there's something), and was ready to get home and just relax...
THEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD A BIOLOGY RETEST TOMORROW AND I CAN'T WASTE ANY TIME WHAT AM I DOING BLOGGING?
I haven't uploaded any pictures in the last few posts... hmmm...
Ketchup Time
I. Alpha League of Legends Tournament is go. Met with Caucus yesterday and we got everything settled. Hope to start getting posters up by next week and having a meeting sometime soon after that.
II. I'm pretty okay with my marks right now. 93% in Pre-Calc 11, not sure for French, not sure for Foods, and 85% in Bio (maybe I should be studying to try to bump myself up to an A right now...), which in reality is something I can live with.
III. Didn't even hit Gold for the end of the season :c
IV. Not enough time to watch anime on a daily basis; I've been reduced to watching everything that I've missed in one night when I'm free. I'm still terribly behind on The Walking Dead.
Mustard Time
Actually I don't like mustard that much.
Relish Time
That's really all the time that I'm going to give this blog tonight. I am happy, however, that I got around to giving some love to it, seeing as I've been kinda neglecting the blog. Hope this time the post was bearable and that you didn't end up puking a few times while reading.
End of Term 1 is nearing. Brace yourselves. I'm an 8 this cold cold night, and you can catch me on this blog sometime in the next few days. Later then ^^

If you didn't get it when you read the title ^^
Overall Really Happy With The Way This Blog Is Growing
Even though the amount of views fluctuates every month, it looks like this blog is slowly growing. I'm so happy that Kevin's Blog turned out to be something worth the time that I have put into it. Looks like the past two years have somewhat payed off.
In the end (it doesn't even maaatteeeeerrrrrr) I just want you guys to keep visiting because otherwise this blog becomes a sad wasteland of disappointment and empty dreams. So uhm, thanks c:
Nothing To Write About
Sorry this post is kinda small. I'm having a hard time finding things to write about. Not sure if it's the lack of things in my life or just because I'm dumb. And when I get stuck in this kind of situation I usually just turn to you.
How was your day? Hope it was good ^^ I myself had an alright day. I just 8 and typically I like to relax right after, so that's what I'm doing (to be brutally honest I'm one of the 42K viewers of the 24 hour Vayne stream by gosu). Well then, this is the end. I'll see you (or maybe not :c) next time.

November's Here ^^
I Like November
For various reasons. It just feels like a good month. It's almost the end of the year, but not quite there yet. September and October are too orientated on school and they're the two months that you use to get accustomed. December is Christmas and to be frank with you I'm not that much of a Christmas type of person. Very little aspects appeal to me and I find the holiday to be a bit... awry?
It also hosts a few things, such as Movember and NaNoWriMo, however both of them probably don't mean much to me since a) I don't really shave anyways, and b) I've never actually finished NaNoWriMo.
Actually Doing Alright In Bio
TODAY MARKS WERE UPDATED AND I'M AT 86% WOW HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.
Through a combination of assignments, lab work, and a really good and really bad test mark I somehow managed to scrap together an A. There's a genetics test coming up and I want to score well on it to give me a nice cushion. I'm also planning to use my single retest for the cell test (aka the one I majorly screwed up on), so as long as I dedicate these last few weeks of Term 1 to Bio, I should be able to pull through.
Best of luck to you, if you are going through the same type of thing.
ROAD TO GOLD
I AM CURRENTLY SILVER I AND I HAVE 0 LP WOOOOOOOO. SOMEHOW HAVE TO JUGGLE BIO AND LEAGUE BECAUSE IT'D BE COOL IF I COULD MAKE IT TO GOLD BEFORE THE END OF THE SEASON, WHICH IS ON NOVEMBER 11.
Speaking of November, I should probably start thinking about what kind of present I want to give my mom.
Later Later Potato Tater
Nope that did not work.
Thanks for reading tonight. I'm an 8 and hopefully you'll be here in the next post.

Originally I intended to put a GIF of some spooky skeletons dancing around but then I realized that I didn't want anybody with a phobia of skeletons to stumble across my blog and then get nightmares (especially since I still have chills from last night). I also considered putting it down further in the blog to stop anybody, but then I realized (wow again) that temptation is extremely strong.
Explanation: I was on the LoL subreddit and came across this Creepypasta-esque story about Shaco. Near the end the Original Poster (OP) put up a link to a sound clip of the Shaco's laughter mentioned in the story.
In my heart I knew I shouldn't have clicked it.
But I did.
End of the story, I became a bit more sensitive.
Pumpkins And The End
Carved a pumpkin on Thursday and handed out candy with some friends yesterday. A pretty fun party was held and all in all a really fun night. Thanks to all the people who helped out with everything the past few days.
I actually had typed out this post last night but ended up forgetting to publish it, so I changed a few words and that was that. Anyhow, Happy Late Halloween. Hope you had a good one. I'm a 9 today and I'll see you in the next post.

There's A Cup On My Desk
It's A Christmas Themed One
I lifted it to take a sip of what I hoped was moderately warm water.
The water wasn't cold.
There was no water.
Like if you cry every time.
Anime Blog?
No.
I have to dedicate time to Biology. Besides that point I don't really feel any motivation to start something like that. I mean I would, but there's a high chance that it would just stay on the ground. Assuming that I did start the blog, I probably wouldn't be able to put as much effort into it as I would like to.
Actually, change that "no" to "a very low chance".
More Next Time, On Kevin's Blog
There's so much that I am supposed to do, I just keep forgetting. Maybe I should get somebody to personally remind me to do something.
Or you could just help out every now and then with that ^^ Anyhow I'm an 8. Until the next post (who knows when?).

Fall 2014 Thoughts
So I Thought "Ah, Screw It" (Spoilers <3)
I do realize that it's been a pretty extended period of time since the last post, so I decided that it was finally time to post. However I still wanted to make it an anime centered one. Throughout many executive decisions I finally came to the conclusion that I would just write a post on the anime that I have already started.
Here's my MAL for reference, so let's start with the list of what I'm watching right now (nothing's changed, but if you weren't here for the last post then this will be helpful):
Akame ga Kill!
Amagi Brilliant Park
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
Grisaia no Kajitsu
Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
Kiseijuu
Log Horizon 2
Orenchi no Furo Jijo
Sword Art Online II
Trinity Seven
Akame ga Kill!
I'm on and off with this anime. Sometimes it's incredibly good and I find myself just dying until the next episode, and sometimes the episode leaves a pretty bitter taste in my mouth. The second half of the season has started and the story is being driven somewhere, so I'm expecting grand things.
Characters... I'd like to say that they're getting somewhere (maybe they are, I have no clue), and hopefully that'll help improve the quality of the show. But as of now I think Akame ga Kill! will be another anime that I will eventually forget.
Best Girl: Chelsea
Amagi Brilliant Park
My favourite this season by a long shot. Episodes are well done and leave me longing for more each time. The comedy is great and well executed, but the anime still retains a serious-ish feel to it (at least to me, for others it might just be plain laughs).
Amagi Brilliant Park is an anime that focuses on an amusement park on the verge of being shut down and how the MC (Seiya Kanie) becomes the manager of the park in an attempt to save it. There's a lot more to it, but that's what I'll say without giving away too much.
Characters are pretty much great right now. Tons of room for growth and development. Amagi Brilliant Park is doing a spectacular job this season, and I sincerely hope that it will continue to do so.
Best Girl: Isuzu Sento
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai
"Oh hey it's a VN adaption, so it's gonna be bad."
MC is a boy who likes books, put plainly. He likes them because each book he reads sheds light on otherwise dark parts of the world. I'm assuming this, but he gains an intuition from some sort of childhood encounter with one named the Shepherd and thus saves a random girl from a train.
Art looks somewhat different, but the show itself isn't bad at all. It's mildly entertaining at times and it's a good way to spend the season, as long as you enter without expecting something amazing from Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai.
Best Girl: Tsugumi Shirasaki
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
The reason why I picked up Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken was simply because it was airing and was a short (each episode is roughly four minutes long). It makes me smile from time to time and is a great show to pick up this season. It's basically the story of a recently-wed wife and otaku husband and the comedic parts of their life together.
Best Girl: Kaoru Tsunashi
Grisaia no Kajitsu
When I watch Grisaia it feels like Shaft when I actually liked it. The style is clean and nice, and while I have never played the VN it feels like a good adaption (although it's most likely the common route right now). The funny bits are funny, but something that hasn't been touched on much is the darker side of the anime (that was highly emphasized in PVs).
All the characters are likable and the series is quite entertaining for me this season. Definitely one of the better anime for fall, so I can't wait to see how it goes on.
Best Girl: Ama-nee
Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
Silly anime about the Literature Club gaining super powers (some powerful and some not so much) that tries to be serious at times. Comedy ranges from decent to good, but the more "serious" scenes are not so likable. There seems to be a underlying plot that's being hidden for the time being, but I don't care much for those.
All in all, pretty nice stuff.
Best Girl: Tomoyo Kanzaki
Kiseijuu
For two episodes aired Kiseijuu (also known as Parasyte) has been extremely interesting. It's an anime that follows the life of a MC who has his right hand replaced by an alien sort of thing. The show has set itself up for greatness, and we'll just have to see how well it executes the events leading up to greatness.
Characters are fresh and I'm enjoying the overall feel of the anime. This one will probably end up being one of the better bunch.
Best Girl: Satomi Murano
Log Horizon 2
Weeeeeee, here we go with the second season of Log Horizon. So far the episodes have been pretty good, and the way they're set up are great (as usual). I don't really notice anything too different, even with the studio change, but nevertheless I'm enjoying the second installment. New people have been introduced to kind of freshen up the series and it still remains interesting.
Best Girl: Akatsuki
Orenchi no Furo Jijo
No it's not yaoi.
Best Girl: waht
Sword Art Online II
Now that the Death Gun arc is finally over we can get to the good stuff. Supposedly the next arc is a really good one, and with the way last episode ended it looks like it. I finally get to see more Asuna and also Shino with ANIMAL EARS AND TAIL WOOOOOOOOOOO.
But yeah, the added Asuna is nice. Don't much care for the other girls besides Asuna and Shino.
Best Girl: Shino
Trinity Seven
Here's a little poem that I've come up with on the spot:
MC looks like a monkey
He watches girls hold in pee
He rips off your clothes to see
All for this girl named Hijiri
This anime is straight-up great if it fits your tastes. To other people it may just seem "meh", but to others it's just a really fun anime. Thanks Trinity Seven, for being that really fun anime this season. And also thanks for the huge harem, loaded with girls with varying stereotypes.
Best Girl: Lilith-sensei
Time To Sleep
Nighty night beautiful baby girl (no I'm kidding I know you're a guy).
I'm an 8 for tonight.

Don't Know When The Next Post Will Be, So Here You Go
Not According To Plan
Originally I intended to make this post the whole "[Anime] Fall 2014 Thoughts" one, but I've have not been keeping up with everything. A large factor to this is because of just how much anime I want to watch. To give you an idea here's the list of everything that I'm watching right now:
Akame ga Kill!
Amagi Brilliant Park
Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai
Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken
Grisaia no Kajitsu
Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
Kiseijuu
Log Horizon 2
Orenchi no Furo Jijo
Sword Art Online II
Trinity Seven
But then there's also everything that I want to watch...
Akatsuki no Yona
Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo
Denkai-Gai no Honya-san
Girlfriend (Kari)
Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji
Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
Shirobako
Sora no Method
Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete
Yeah /: Assuming that I do indeed watch everything in the second list I'll have effectively doubled the amount of anime. So the first problem that this poses is if I even have enough time or will to watch all of these. I might just set aside the second list (excluding a few that I've been looking forward to) and watch those at my own pace. This would in turn also fix my second problem, which is fitting all (if I do watch all the listed anime) of my thoughts into a post.
Alternatively I can just make parts, but that sounds like a lot of work (honestly I wouldn't mind doing, but I would prefer to put that kind of stuff on the anime blog, which I am currently trying to get the domain set up for).
Random picture from Amagi Brilliant Park to fill up space. Right now it's my favourite fall anime.
Off To Do Bio
This wasn't really too much of a post for you (sorry about that). I have a unit test coming up this week so I'm off to get some work done. My plan for the night is to study and then near midnight just try to catch up on a series or two.
Uhhh... tonight I'm an 8? The usual. I'd like to make the next post the anime one but if it's apparent that I won't be able to start it in the next few days I'll just give you a "regular" one. Thanks for your dedication tonight, and I'll see you in the next post ^^

Being Sick And Page Updates
What's Different?
After a bit of thinking and planning (and by that I mean about five seconds worth) I decided to remove the "Accomplishments" page. I felt like it didn't really have a spot on this blog and I could see that it wasn't getting frequented as much as the other pages. So there you have it, it's gone. Poof. Instead I've moved the contents of that page over to "About Me".
Up until now I had 100% forgotten that I was supposed to roll out a new design. Sorry about that. School has been keeping me busy for the most part, and when I don't have homework I'm savouring the time doing something else (anime or gaming most likely). However if I do have that much time I might as well start up that project that I've been talking about.
Things About Me
There's gonna be a lot of text coming up, so here's my cat tax (an Imgur thing). Credits go to the author right here.
I am sick. For the past few days I've had an extremely runny nose and horrid throat. Today I have a dry cough, but the other symptoms have subsided. I'm expecting to make a complete recovery by tomorrow.
While I've been gone from this blog I have joined E-Club and FPAC. I am working as an official member of E-Club whereas things are bit more complicated with FPAC. E-Club meetings cross over with the FPAC ones and I've made it clear that I'll mostly be going to E-Club. So because of that I'll be working behind the scenes with FPAC, helping design logos and such.
Okay so here's one of the bigger things that I have been putting off. The anime blog. I'm gonna try to get the URL set up by today or tomorrow (I'm actually asking a friend to set it up) and then find and tweak a template for it. Don't tell anybody, but I still don't have a name set up for it yet.
Might try to get myself back into HTML/CSS, along with graphic designing. Holding off on the desktop publishing for a bit. I don't think I put enough effort into it before and I should give it a second chance before putting it away for good. Taking up graphic designing will really help out my submissions to FPAC and will just prove to be a useful skill.
I'm behind on anime. I've been watching Special A for the longest time now and sometime in the past three days I have picked up Aldnoah.Zero (enjoying it even if it is mecha). So far the only fall anime that I have watched are the second season of Log Horizon and some random short called I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (which is surprisingly something that I enjoyed).
Kept You Here For Tooooooooooooooo Looooooooooooooong
Fun fact: The number of "o"s in "Tooooooooooooooo Looooooooooooooong" are the same.
Sorry if you stayed longer than you had intended. Or maybe you just skipped through the whole post just to find out what number I was today so you could add it to that Excel spreadsheet that you have been keeping ever since I started the number thing. I'm an 8 (wow so surprising!) dude.
I wonder if I have ever seen a "stranger" more than once.

Summer 2014 Conclusion
Welcome (And Obligatory SPOILER ALERT)
Hanayamata
Here we are with yet another review-esque post. Below this I'll list off all the summer anime that I have completed (in alphabetical order), with the exception of a few that are ongoing into fall. The ones bolded I will go more in-depth on whereas the others I'll briefly write about. Hope that you've enjoyed your summer season of anime, and without further ado I'll hop right into it.
Watched:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
Glasslip
Haikyuu!!
Hanayamata
Locodol
Mahouka
Rail Wars!
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?
Tokyo Ghoul
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories 2
Ongoing:
Akame ga Kill!
Serei Tsukai no Blade Dance
Sword Art Online II
Akame ga Kill!
I think that there are a lot of varying opinions of Akame ga Kill! Many people seem to like it because of how "brutal and dark" it is. Then there are people who dislike the way that comedy is added in at times and it gets in the way of what could be a good anime.
What I think is that Akame ga Kill! is fine the way it is. I don't hold anything against the comedy that is included and I am relatively engaged in the story. The funny thing is that I actually didn't think too highly of this anime when the first few episodes came out, but it's grown on me.
OP is nice, and ED is fantastic. Besides that nothing else stands out for me.
24 episodes. I'm actually quite glad for this because it gives a chance for the anime to become a lot better. Like many others I'm hoping that this will be something that I can remember and come to really like.
As of now the story is going somewhere, and I hope it stays that way. The episode preview for today looked pretty interesting, as if seems that Tatsumi and Esdeath end up some random place and have to get to work together.
Best Girl: Chelsea/Esdeath
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
This was actually the best anime of the season (for me at least). Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is a great comedy/romance anime and I just can't get enough of it. It's a huge shame that it's ended, as I really liked it.
It had amazing comedy and timing, along with fun, lovable and engaging characters. The OP was upbeat and catchy, with a pretty decent ED. Everybody's pushing for the actual romantic ending, but instead we get what Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun has delivered this whole time. Laughs.
This anime does not disappoint. It left me playing the ending (the very very very ending, after the credits) over and over again, laughing my head off. I can only wish that everything was like Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun.
Best Girl: Sakura Chiyo
Glasslip
I had a tough time getting through Glasslip. While it got a little bit better with each episode, that isn't saying much since I was pretty close to dropping it. In the ending everything comes together and I felt that Glasslip didn't really deserve a 5 on my MAL. If something had changed, and I mean like a huge change, then maybe, just maybe I could have enjoyed it. But the way it is right now, well, I just didn't feel like watching episodes as they came out. On a positive note, the OP was nice.
Best Girl: Touko Fukami (she doesn't really deserve Best Girl, but out of all them I'd chose her)
Haikyuu!!
Volleyball anime. I play volleyball, so it was apparent that I was going to enjoy Haikyuu!! And I wasn't left hanging. It was a good watch, and I'm really hoping for a season two. There isn't really much else for me to say here. If you liked stuff like Kuroko, then maybe you'd be into Haikyuu!!
Best Girl: Shimizu Kiyoko (Manager-san)
Uhm. Kawaii girls doing kawaii things (like dancing yosakoi) is how I would sum up Hanayamata. The anime is hard to get into in the beginning but eventually the pace picks up. There wasn't anything I particularly liked or disliked about this anime. Overall just your typical kawaii anime.
Best Girl: Tami Nishimikado
Locodol
Locodol is more or less on the same wavelength as Hanaymata. It's about two girls from a small town who become these sort of local idols (hence the name). If there was another anime I had to say that I didn't look forward to, it was probably Locodol. A pretty average watch, something not needed for this season.
Best Girl: Yukari Kohinata
Mahouka
Started as a "oh what the hell" type of thing because of incest. Slowly grew to dislike and hate the anime. Then for some reason the last episode really got me. Maybe it was the hint of a second season. Maybe it was because of the new aunt character. Hell, maybe it was just because I wanted something silly to watch. But for whatever reason Mahouka didn't leave as bitter a taste in my mouth as what I had initially expected.
Best Girl: Mayumi Saegusa
Rail Wars!
Mindless ecchi with some action scenes. I think I learned a bit about trains from this, but not much. OP and ED were painful for me to listen to, but that's just me.
Best Girl: Holy god do I actually have to pick; Haruka Koumi
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!?
Before I say anything more about Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? let me tell you that I actually enjoyed it, because what I'm about to say next may sound like I'm bashing it.
I thought that this anime definitely could have been a lot better (fingers crossed for a season two). Because of the sheer amount of characters I think there just wasn't enough air time to go around for everybody. This is why I'm really just hanging in there for the second season. The comedy is somewhat bland at times, but I mean, it really just is a harem at the end of the day.
OP and ED both good stuff.
Best Girl: Harumi Sakuraba
Serei Tsukai no Blade Dance
WATCH FOR LOLIS OBTAIN BLUSHES AND CUTE SOUNDS IGNORE FIGHT SCENES.
Best Girl: Fianna Ray Ordesia
Sword Art Online II
Hell of a lot better than season one (at least the latter half of season one) is what I can say. With the latest episode I can actually say that it's getting interesting and I'm looking forward to episodes. Hoping that the whole Death Gun arc will end sometime soon and usher in a new arc, because they could do something nice with it.
OP is meh, ED is pretty good.
I think there's a bit too much emphasis on Sinon's bottom, butt I mean what can you do about it?
Best Girl: Shino Asada
Tokyo Ghoul
To explain the ride I went on with Tokyo Ghoul, let's use a few words. Ehhhhhhhhh, then ahhhhh, then ohhhhh, then this-is-actually-good, then ehhhhh, then ehhh, and then stop-the-pain-2015. The ending made the anime fall flat on its face (in another words, a big no no). There should definitely be a season two or at least some sort of OVA to give proper closure. The whole last episode ordeal with Taneki fighting inside his head was really just a pain to watch. I mean, for another episode, sure, but NOT THE LAST EPISODE GOD ANYTHING BUT THAT.
There was definitely an interesting setup, with all the ghouls and what-not, but I think the opportunity that was given was wasted. I'm not saying Tokyo Ghoul is dreadful, but the gore and whole dark side of this anime just failed to really get to me.
Tokyo Ghoul will have a hard time becoming an anime that I will regard as "good". I've heard the manga is nice reading though. A good thing is that the OP and ED aren't half bad.
Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories 2
I think what most people think. The second season is nothing compared to the first. Not even spooky anymore. That's a shame.
Gah This Was A Big Post
Really tired now. I spent quite a bit on this.
I'm an 8 for today. School tomorrow. See you in the next post.

Started as a "oh what the hell" type of thing because of incest. Slowly grew to dislike and hate the anime. Then for some reason the last episode really got me. Maybe it was the hint of a second season. Maybe it was because of the new aunt character. Hell, maybe it was just because I wanted something silly to watch. But for whatever reason Mahouka didn't leave as bitter a taste in my mouth as what I had initially expected.

Felt Like Writing
Really Needed To Write
I dunno. I've been chatting away with some friends this evening and all of the sudden I really wanted to write up a post. Earlier today I had this urge but pushed it aside because I wanted to make my next post an anime centered one (and I just wanted to finish off Rokujouma's last episode tomorrow). This will most likely be a post that's all over the place and messy in general, but hopefully you'll stick along today.
School
Settling into my classes. Falling right back into step with friends. Everything has been going swimmingly these past few days. I'm glad to be able to be around my friends again, although I do feel a bit sad that my days of staying home all day are gone.
There are things that are weird. Sometimes I don't know whether I should say hello or wave or do something when I pass by somebody in the halls. I also feel disconnected from a lot of people, and it makes me kind of sad, considering that I'm the grade rep and all. However there isn't much that I do as a rep anyhow.
Naming And Domain
Figuring out a name for the anime site. Probably gonna work off a sub-domain provided by my friend. It'll be weird for the first while but we can always change things up if we get anywhere. Work being done I suppose. Kind of scared as to how much time I can put into this because Bio has proven itself to be an intensive course so far.
Planning To Run
I want to run and increase my stamina along with overall health. It's been pretty bad weather these past few days though so I'm hoping that it'll clear up eventually.
And now I don't want to write anymore about myself. Uhhh, sorry for the suddenness of it all. There might be a post tomorrow. Maybe on Saturday. It'd be nice to have some space between this post and the next. I'm an 8 tonight.

Another First Day
It's Done
Had a good time at school today. It was a really short day, but I think that's for the best because it would've felt weird to simply jump into the regular schedule all of the sudden. It doesn't seem like anybody has really changed, but I'm really looking forward to this school year. For courses I'm actually extremely happy that I a) got all of the courses that I wanted and b) my teachers sound great. So all in all a fun day. Helped out some grade eights for the majority of the day. Funny thing: this year I ended up getting the same locker that I had in grade eight.
Anime Post Coming Up Soon-ish
Brace yourselves (random picture from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun for the purpose of filling up space).
/: That's All From Me Today
School should be back in full swing tomorrow. Excited to get to my classes.
I'm an 8 tonight. See you in the next post ^^

New Post *Much Wow*
School's Coming Back
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey welcome back to my life school. How was your vacation? Mine? Bleck. Sure it had some nice points to it but mostly it was terrible without you. Aww, I love you too.
So on a more serious note (how serious can this blog actually be?) school is actually resuming next Monday for me. After seeing some friends this afternoon I found out that everybody hasn't changed at all and that I shouldn't be as awkward as I was at the beginning of grade nine.
I'm excited, yet terrified of the upcoming school year.
NEW FITNESS REGIMEN
Decided that I would go running every few days to try to improve my stamina (and because I probably won't be doing too much of that in weight training anyways) and to supplement my other activities. I think it'll overall be a really nice benefit for me because I tend to eat a lot and not do anything (or at least that's the pattern that's been happening this summer).
Speaking of something related to health, I'm kinda sick. Hopefully I'll get better by tomorrow morning (I should be asleep by now though).
Short Post, You Can Leave Now ^^
Thanks for reading this time around, hope to see your beautiful face next time I decide to post (probably on Monday or something?).
Kevin for today is an 8. Feeling under the weather but besides that everything else is doing decently.

Life Updates And More Rambling
Volunteering Stuff
A few nights ago I was told that the community center around here needed some help with volunteers so I ended up sending an email to the coordinator (or something, I'm not quite too sure on what position it is) last night. I got a reply this morning and now I'm set for an interview type of thing tomorrow afternoon. I'm looking forward to this because it'll give me a chance for something to this summer.
Just wanted to let you know what's been going on lately.
Mind Reader Kevin
Does it sound possible?
No?
Poop.
For anybody who has read this blog for a long time, you may recall one or two posts where I wrote that I wanted the ability to be able to read minds. I mean, wouldn't it be just the greatest thing to know what people were thinking? You'd be able to use your own judgement and come up with the best possible thing to say or do in your particular scenario.
Erm... Goodbye For Now *Sparkles*
That's it for this post (gosh how many times have I said that over the past three years or so?). Until next time my wonderful reader.

Welcome Ayase To The Wall Of Best Girls
Yes, the original best girl, straight out of OreImo. I have finally added her to my famed Wall of Best Girls, along with Shiina and Chitoge. So I'd just like everybody to give her a warm welcome to the blog of Kevin Zou and to make her feel at home. I know it will be a rough first few days for Ayase, but I'm confident that she'll fit in fine.
And for anybody who has no idea of what the heck I'm talking about, I added a new GIF to the right sidebar (it's the same one that you see right now).
School Please Come Back
Life is boring. That is all.
But seriously. Out of all things that could have been made a big deal about, school was chosen. I might have said this before, but I don't really have a voice on the whole ordeal. I don't know enough about it and I think picking sides is the last thing that I should do (not that it would have a profound effect on anything).
I'll take it all back. The stressful days. The homework.
tl;dr school ily bb don't do this to me
Well, That's It For Tonight People
That's a wrap. Cut.
Critics are raving about "Welcome Ayase To The Wall Of Best Girls".

The Last Minute Push For Gold
League Related
STEP ASIDE IF YOU DO NOT PARTICULARLY CARE ABOUT THE GAME KNOWN AS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS BECAUSE HOLY MOLY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET AN ASS WHOOPING OF IT.
Ah what a nice CAPS LOCK ridden start to yet another post on this horrendous blog (jokes on me, because it still looks more fab than me). I managed to drop from a comfortable Silver II position to rock bottom in Silver V, to the point where I was nearly demoted to league-that-shall-not-be-named, but thanks to a bunch of duo queue and the solo queue gods smiling down on me I clawed my way back up to my Silver IV promos.
Going for Gold before season ends. Go hard or go home.
Thresh is life. Thresh is love.
Spud Patrol
I went to Spud Patrol today. It was fun (just like the other handful of times I went), albeit short. Forgot how much I liked being a part of Spud Patrol, but I'll definitely be looking forward to participating in the rest of them.
Alright that's all that I've got for this little post. I'm an 8 tonight. I haven't asked in a while, but how are you?

Feeling Much Better
It's Been... Four Days?
Fun fact: I usually don't remember what I've done in the past few days. It's a big reason towards my tendency of using the term "in the past few days" as opposed to more specific things such as "yesterday" or "three days ago".
But yeah. It's been... a few days since I had my wisdom teeth extracted. The little pain is negligible, but I'm still hesitant to chew foods with the back of my mouth and talk at full volume. I'm expecting a full recovery by tomorrow or at least Saturday (going to Spud Patrol this Saturday in fact).
For anybody who was wondering the details to my whole wisdom-teeth-ordeal, well here it is. After an x-ray it was determined that I had two wisdom teeth on the bottom half of my mouth that were crooked. Supposedly this would've majorly messed up the rest of my teeth so my dentist said that I should get them removed. I don't know too much about wisdom teeth, but I've heard that it's unusual for a person my age to take them out.
New Revamp On The Blog Coming Up
Even though I really love the current banner, I feel like this blog needs a little change on the design. I might incorporate some old themes of the banner into the new one (most likely a better version of the Chitoge GIF), but besides that I'm looking to go all out on the new design.
Don't expect this "update" to come anytime soon. It's kind of like the anime blog (which I'll be noting shortly after this): very much up in the air.
*Sigh* The Anime Blog
No work done on it so far. The vision and planning looks nice, but to be realistic I have done nothing. I'm going to say I feel that I don't want to start this because I'm not sure on my ability to follow through with it completely. So in that case, I will make a promise (to any few people who were relatively looking forward to this anime blog).
I will put up an official yes or no by the time the school year resumes. Once I get a better idea of how much work I will be doing and how much time I can put into the blog I'll be able to say something. But for now... you really shouldn't look for anything.
Anime Season Ending Soon
Yeah wow I still wish school was in right now. Anyhow, the summer season is ending in a few weeks so you'll probably see something along the likes of this rolling out when that time comes.
I've been kinda cold lately. Slight fever. My hands and feet get really cold in the morning so I've taken up the habit of wearing socks and long sleeves. Besides that everything is alright on my side. I'm an 8 for today. Stomach's been kinda funny, but nothing too serious.

Got Wisdom Teeth Pulled And Other Things
I Feel Really Bad
So the past two days have been really just hell for me (even though today the pain has subsided to my greatest relief). The first day I had trouble swallowing and eating anything, but I felt (for the most part) okay. That brings us to day two, where my mouth and throat are horrid, but swallowing and eating is not too much of a hassle to attempt at regular intervals.
Ah the joys of having your wisdom teeth pulled.
School Officially Not Coming Back
For once I was looking forward to the upcoming school year and now... it's kind of going to be late. School definitely won't start on the planned September 2nd, and who knows how long it will be delayed.
So uhm. Yeah. That is all I have to say on the subject. I don't really have an opinion on this whole teacher strike thing. I'd love to see a resolution (just because people arguing isn't pretty and/or pleasant) sometime soon, but until then the only learning I'll be doing is off Imgur and occasionally reddit.
Gosh Kevin When Are You Starting That Anime Thingy?
WAIT GOOD NEWS. Started brainstorming name ideas (round of applause ensues). None of them have really caught my eye yet, but maybe something will come along. I looked up some stories about people who started anime blogs and most of them actually quit blogging or something just didn't work out.
Worth giving it a try though.
Ending It Off With A Recommendation
I finished this book called Winger by Andrew Smith a while ago and planned to write up a bit about it on this blog. Essentially it's a look into the life of 14 year old Ryan Dean "Winger" West. For me it was a great read (not sure if that's just because it was the first book I read this summer or what). If you guys are interested you should definitely look more into it. Winger is part comedy, drama, and sob-story, and such is also the life of the main character. I don't want to hype it up anymore than I already may have (just in case if it fails to meet your expectations), so I'll start concluding this post.
Glad you stuck around another post. I'm a 7 today (largely thanks to the wisdom teeth extraction).

Little Things (Updates Basically)
Nope, I have not started the anime blog project yet (essentially a review site for anime, manga, and possibly VNs that I had planned to start up with two friends). It somehow slipped my mind. I guess when you do crazy things with crazy people you end up forgetting the other things you set out to do. But there IS HOPE.
I'm actually in a Skype call with one of the aforementioned friends and in a Facebook chat with the other one. So hopefully something gets figured out by the end of the night? I'm kind of bad at these things, but hey, you never get good at the things that you don't try.
I slipped in a picture of Ayase (from OreImo) because I felt that this was too empty.
Arguments
Little bit of back story before I delve into this topic.
Maybe an hour-ish ago I was in a heated fight (verbal fight mind you) with my brother. I won't go into details, but we just had different mindsets. There are two main things that I'm going to touch on: a) the fact that I haven't had a fight this bad with my brother in a while, and b) arguments are ugly in their own way.
I always assumed that siblings got along better as they aged. There were also plain examples in front of me. That's not to say that my brother and I don't get along. Actually, if anything we get along really well. So it kind of came as a shock that he would argue on something like this. To me, it was weird because he has never said anything about anything else before.
Arguments are ugly because they feature two conflicting opinions. The problem is that you usually do not understand the opposition's point of view. You get blinded so much from the right of your argument that you don't really see anything right in the other argument.
However these are just my thoughts and they may be (probably are) just that.
That's It For August 29, 2014
Eyes are getting tired. I've been on the computer all day. Probably not the best for me. I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow (>.< oh no) and I am super anxious. Not sure what to expect at all. Wish me luck.
Thanks for reading buddy. Here's my godly number of the day and a little quote.
Today I'm an 8. Same old stuff.

Big Ol' #400
How Do I Write This Post?
It's almost been two years since I started this blog, and there have definitely been
ups
and
downs.
At one time I thought about shutting down the blog for my own selfish reasons, but I deterred myself from doing so and ended up with... this. Over the years there have been significant changes to the blog, but I think that only reflects in how much the writer has changed. To me my writing style opened up and I changed the blog design numerous times. So I wanted to take the opportunity of this 400th post to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
Just kidding. Let's get started shall we?
TOPIC NUMBER ONE
To be the very most brutally honest with you, I wanted to do one of those Q&A things where you can learn a bit more about myself, but then I realized something.
My "fanbase" isn't big enough to do that. At best there would be one or two of you guys willing to submit any questions. Of course there are my other friends who would ask me "inappropriate" stuff that I would never put on my blog (and those friends are awesome), but hey, there's a reason why ***** is censored here.
So I decided to do the next best thing that there was to a Q&A session: STORY TIME WITH KEVIN.
The Toilet Change
If you've known me for a while, you probably know the infamous story of the toilet change.
Flash back to grade seven. I'm a social prepubescent pre-teen packing up for the end of the day. My friend (let's call him Jonathan) walks up to me with his intense swagger and says, "Hey Kevin, can you help me with something? I'm too tall for it." I stand up next to him and at best he's probably an inch or less taller me. Actually, I might have been taller.
Extremely confused, he leads me down the boys washroom (you're thinking the wrong thing) and does his business in one of the urinals. He instructs me to walk into one of the stalls and tells me to look inside the toiler.
Now, at this point, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe it was going to be some intense BL. Maybe it was going to be a turd floating in the bowl. Maybe it would be the cool ass blue toilet water as seen on iCarly. Maybe it would be... change?
Yes. The toilet was filled with coins. Quarters, a few loonies, dimes everywhere. I didn't believe it. I walk out of the stall and confront my friend with a slight grin on my face, "What is this?" Jonathan tells me that it's exactly what it is: money in a toilet. He then asked me to pick it up out of the toilet.
I abruptly declined and said that we should just bring gloves the next day. Then I realized: it was Friday. It was either now or never. After some haggling and another few friends coming along (one of whom had brought along a tablet to record) we decided to volunteer me to get the money out.
Yes grade seven Kevin was not exactly the brightest.
I happened to have a cut on my thumb at the time as well, and looking back at it, the call I made was extremely stupid. But hey, I did it. After taking a few deep breaths I mustered up the courage and dipped my hand in. I tried to gather as many coins as I could in one go, but I ended up feeling even more and more gross as I fished around the bowl.
After many hand dips and laughter, I managed to collect our loot. We had clogged up a nearby sink with paper towels and washed the coins there. Once we had finished that we walked out of the washroom and counted up exactly how much the coins amounted to.
A glorious $8.00.
Something around that.
However that's not all. I ended up splitting the money between the four of us that were present at the time. Because of the change not splitting evenly I ended up getting a few more cents (for being the one WHO ACTUALLY GOT THE MONEY OUT).
To this day, I wonder why.
I wonder WHY THE HELL I SPLIT THE MONEY.
This is my go to story when I need to get close to somebody new. It's humiliating and opens myself up. I hope that you've enjoyed the (re)telling of this story.
You Probably Know This Already, But I'm Stupid
I have new motivation to work more on the anime blog that I've been talking about lately. And while we're still in the realms of Japanese culture I may as well state the fact that I ACTUALLY FINISHED A ROUTE IN REWRITE. Rewrite is a visual novel developed by Key and it was recommended by a friend. I started it sometime in the winter and never finished. BUT TODAY, TODAY I DID SOMETHING. I FINISHED KOTORI'S ROUTE. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE.
That's about it for any possible projects that I have going on. Then anime blog is a bit more doable (TO ALL THOSE SCIMATICS HONOUR KIDS AT ALPHA, YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP) since I have the resources and friends to help me out. I have stopped work on the AMV because... I saw some other ones and decided that if I was really going to invest the time into an AMV I might as well do a really good one.
Lights Out
I feel like this was a really bad milestone post, and it is. I didn't plan it well enough and I doubt that you guys even care much that it is. But the one good thing I can take out from this is that I now know to start planning around 15ish posts beforehand. My apologies for the lack of any good stuff here.
Only 100 more posts until #500. I can be a 9 for you tonight, and I've got nice reason to be a 9. Yes, it has been a pretty standard day, but looking at my future, Skyping with friends, just completely relaxing, and writing up this post has deserved a 9. Goodnight to you.
And for anybody who's been reading this blog for a while: a fan favourite.

Thanks to everybody who's been there from me since Day 1.
Just kidding. Let's get started shall we?
TOPIC NUMBER ONE
To be the very most brutally honest with you, I wanted to do one of those Q&A things where you can learn a bit more about myself, but then I realized something.
My "fanbase" isn't big enough to do that. At best there would be one or two of you guys willing to submit any questions. Of course there are my other friends who would ask me "inappropriate" stuff that I would never put on my blog (and those friends are awesome), but hey, there's a reason why ***** is censored here.
So I decided to do the next best thing that there was to a Q&A session: STORY TIME WITH KEVIN.
The Toilet Change
If you've known me for a while, you probably know the infamous story of the toilet change.
Flash back to grade seven. I'm a social prepubescent pre-teen packing up for the end of the day. My friend (let's call him Jonathan) walks up to me with his intense swagger and says, "Hey Kevin, can you help me with something? I'm too tall for it." I stand up next to him and at best he's probably an inch or less taller me. Actually, I might have been taller.
Extremely confused, he leads me down the boys washroom (you're thinking the wrong thing) and does his business in one of the urinals. He instructs me to walk into one of the stalls and tells me to look inside the toiler.
Now, at this point, I didn't know what to expect. Maybe it was going to be some intense BL. Maybe it was going to be a turd floating in the bowl. Maybe it would be the cool ass blue toilet water as seen on iCarly. Maybe it would be... change?
Yes. The toilet was filled with coins. Quarters, a few loonies, dimes everywhere. I didn't believe it. I walk out of the stall and confront my friend with a slight grin on my face, "What is this?" Jonathan tells me that it's exactly what it is: money in a toilet. He then asked me to pick it up out of the toilet.
I abruptly declined and said that we should just bring gloves the next day. Then I realized: it was Friday. It was either now or never. After some haggling and another few friends coming along (one of whom had brought along a tablet to record) we decided to volunteer me to get the money out.
Yes grade seven Kevin was not exactly the brightest.
I happened to have a cut on my thumb at the time as well, and looking back at it, the call I made was extremely stupid. But hey, I did it. After taking a few deep breaths I mustered up the courage and dipped my hand in. I tried to gather as many coins as I could in one go, but I ended up feeling even more and more gross as I fished around the bowl.
After many hand dips and laughter, I managed to collect our loot. We had clogged up a nearby sink with paper towels and washed the coins there. Once we had finished that we walked out of the washroom and counted up exactly how much the coins amounted to.
A glorious $8.00.
Something around that.
However that's not all. I ended up splitting the money between the four of us that were present at the time. Because of the change not splitting evenly I ended up getting a few more cents (for being the one WHO ACTUALLY GOT THE MONEY OUT).
To this day, I wonder why.
I wonder WHY THE HELL I SPLIT THE MONEY.
This is my go to story when I need to get close to somebody new. It's humiliating and opens myself up. I hope that you've enjoyed the (re)telling of this story.
You Probably Know This Already, But I'm Stupid
I have new motivation to work more on the anime blog that I've been talking about lately. And while we're still in the realms of Japanese culture I may as well state the fact that I ACTUALLY FINISHED A ROUTE IN REWRITE. Rewrite is a visual novel developed by Key and it was recommended by a friend. I started it sometime in the winter and never finished. BUT TODAY, TODAY I DID SOMETHING. I FINISHED KOTORI'S ROUTE. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE.
That's about it for any possible projects that I have going on. Then anime blog is a bit more doable (TO ALL THOSE SCIMATICS HONOUR KIDS AT ALPHA, YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP) since I have the resources and friends to help me out. I have stopped work on the AMV because... I saw some other ones and decided that if I was really going to invest the time into an AMV I might as well do a really good one.
Lights Out

A Few Things
School
I had a hard time deciding whether I really wanted to write a fleshed out post with little paragraphs about each thing or if I wanted to focus on the one big topic I had in hand and throw all the other bits together into the end.
Yeah, I ended up deciding to write the full post.
School is coming back. Unlike other summers, this one didn't pass by quick. It was slow and "tortured" me. You see, without school I have nothing. I actually don't hang out with friends as much as you may or may not think. Now with school arriving soon my interactions with others with increase exponentially and with that also my overall happiness.
tl:dr school makes me happy in a roundabout way
Wisdom Teeth
Apparently I'm getting them removed next month. I don't know how I should feel about this (wow I've been saying that lot lately).
Touchy Topic
Not touchy... more like... "thoughtful"? Hell, it's probably not even a topic. It's just me musing about things that I'll never be satisfied with. Not even that. It's just a childish thought:
I've always wanted to know what people are thinking.
Have you ever been in a situation where you're talking to somebody, and hell yeah you really want to talk to that person, but then you're not sure if he/she wants to talk to you?
It happens a lot to me, with various people. Emotions are hard for me to read in person, let alone talking online. So that's the reason why I very often ask the question: "Do you want to talk?" I feel like while it is really awkward and can end extremely badly (a.k.a "No."), it helps a lot.
I'm thinking too much into this.
Erm, later then ^^
I'm an 8 tonight. SAO was okay, nothing really happens besides (so I'm just gonna go ahead and call SPOILERS right here because some people consider even the tiniest things to be spoilers) some incest, a absurdly small amount of screentime for Asuna (finally), and hype for the huge BoB tournament that will undoubtedly take up a few episodes. Looking forward to watching Rail Wars (although last week's episode was just cringe worthy the whole way) after I finish this post. Maybe I'll muster the will to drag myself through Mahouka as well. Who knows? Miracles happen. Anyhow that's what I have for you today. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
tl:dr: school stuff, wisdom teeth getting yanked soon, and Kevin being Kevin

Lately These Have Been My Thoughts
Novel? (Here We Go Again, Sorry Guys)
This notion will probably blow away sometime in the next bit. Occasionally I accidentally say something deep and meaningful and then I'm suggested to write a novel. When this happens I usually put a little blog bit on it just to let you know what's going on with the novel. Not once have I actually started any of those novels. I believe that I'm too inexperienced and naive to write something like a serious novel. That never really stopped anybody though, so who knows?
I have the feeling that I've contradicted myself several times in the span of one paragraph.
Anime Blog Thingy
"Wow Kevin actually remembered about this!"
Hell yeah I have. Of course that doesn't mean that I have started working on the site or anything, but I'm trying to get some foundations up. I've found a partner-in-crime who has agreed to take on this project with me and I'll try to sketch up some fundamentals during the next few days. Might release a preview of logos and such on this site, but probably not (it'd be cool to keep it a secret).
Still need to think of a name...

Alright, I'm gonna close off this post here. Kind of a skimpy post, but I'm honestly tired of typing from the last two posts and Planing 10 (which thank god is finally over). How's your day been? It's been mostly the same for me. Decided to catch up with Hanayamata (friend recommended it), so I've been watching that throughout the day. Still gotta watch a handful of random OVAs.
Robin Williams passed away yesterday. O Captain! My Captain! Goodbye.
I'm an 8 this entry. Until the next time you hear from me.
