I reading my diary, and the lady that made it put in little inserts that have really inspired me. I want to type out some of thing she has put in the diary.
"Oh no.
You know what this is, don't you?
Its a journal, flip over to the next page and tell me what you see.
Nothing right?
Just a bunch of blank pages waiting...
FOR YOU."
So basically, that started off the beginning of the journal/diary, as I got more into it, I came across a wonderful passage.
"I hope lifes been treating you fair, though it certainly doesn't have to. And if it hasn't, I hope you've been writing down those troubles travails. Becuase if you deny or hide or stuff al those sharp edges down inside, they're just going to keep cutting.
But if you deal(some might say duel)with them, and put them in their place, and tell them 'You are not going to haunt me,' they'll give up. Troubles are stubborn, but you must be a little stubborn too or else you wouldn't still be here.
Thats why I like you".

Awesome passage right?
Here's another one:
"Lets talk about mountains.
You start climbing one, you toil, you sweat, you finally reach the top, and what do you get? Well, along with the sense of accomplishment, of peace, of a job well done, along with the satisfaction of doing what you set out to do.
...You get a great view of the next mountain.
Looming. Challenging. Calling your name.
But wait! Don't feel like you have to take on that next mountain yet. Lets dwell on this one for awhile. Lay there with your hands stretched out behind your head. Watch the clouds running across the sky and telling yourself you're on the top of the world because in a sense, you are. Just be for now, for you. Then, when you're ready...pick yourself up, dust yourself off, put that pack on your back, and start climbing down. One foot in front of the other, that's all you can do. This walk never ends, you know.
There's always another mountain. That's what makes life thrilling and you breathless.

There are days, there are times, when you feel like you've walked so far, when the voice inside you is complaining is uphill, that it always will be. And then, after all that, way beyond your blue horizon, you see the biggest mountain you've ever seen, and you think, 'I can't do that.'
Well I hope you have somebody who always tells you you can.
Like I'm telling you now."
I LOVE THAT PART!
She's an amazing thinker :D
Thats all of the passages in the journal(except for the beginning one; which are the 'I hope you dance' lyrics).
This blog was also supposed to be some of my insight...but its getting kinda late, and the blog is already long enough.
So look forward to my own insight(you know you will! >:D)
Goodnight, and goodbye.

The Order of Animes I have seen and Finished. My feelings about them, and some advice for those of you out there wandering just why these animes are so good.

D.N.ANGEL
I hated it when it ended(of course I don't like when any of my fave animes end..). I loved the series though. It was great all in all, I just really wanted an 8th volume. And not to spoil any D.N.ANGEL manga fans; but the anime doesn't really stick to the Manga. Voice Actors that I know of in it: Kevin Corn, Vic Mignogna, Andy McAvin, Luci Christian, Hilary Haag, Kelly Manison, Greg Ayers, Jessica Boone, Monica Rial, Illich Guardolia, Sasha Paysinger, John Swasey, Kira-Vincent Davis, Christine Auten, John Gremillion, and Mariela Ortiz. David Williams who is also the director plays some additional voices, so does Rob Mungle, and Janice Williams. Mariela Ortiz is also the DVD producer(I think). Now don't expect the voice actor knowledge in the rest, lol.

Fruits Basket
This wasn't fair when it ended. Totally LOVED it though It definitely stayed true to the manga(although the chapters in the book came after the big scene in the anime--and in the anime, it was like the chapters in the book came before). Although it stops at volume 6. It definitely could have gone on. They had good voice actors. If you like romance, and fantasy, this is the 1st anime for you to check out! :D
Voice Actors I know of in it: Laura Bailey, Jerry Jewel, Justin Cook, and Eric Vale.
Justin Cook is also the Line Producer..and I think he does more..

CardCaptor Sakura
Um, I think I finished this after Fruits Basket. I really liked this series. Its by CLAMP, and they have many titles. I really like the Japanese version. Its a really cute series, and has fantasy, and some romance. Although there may be some odd scenes at first, just stick with it; because it is VERY good :D I couldn't believe the ending. If you end up checking out this series, make sure to watch the movie after you've seen(mostly)all of the episodes. The movie following the storyline is called, "CardCaptor Sakura The Movie 2". Watched in Japanese.

Loveless
URGH!!!!!!!!! This anime left me with SUCH a cliffhanger!! It mad me so sad .
I mean, when I was watching the last episode I thought, "No, no, it can't end like this!" But it did..*sniff* Though a good anime and a good story. I haven't read the manga, and I don't think I will. Only check it out if you can stand a ~little~ of Shounen Ai/Yaoi. Watched in Japanese.

Gravitation
Ahh what to say, what to say...this definitely wasn't one of my favorite animes. I liked it somewhat though. Shuichi was so cute !! The singing is quite good. And mostly all the guys in the band are cute. :D THE JAPANESE VERSION IS BETTER. I only watched a little of the dubbed, but you shuold watch the Japanese version first if you can stand some Shounen Ai/Yaoi.

INUYASHA
I don't exactly remember when I ended this...but I'm taking a lucky guess either between Gravitaion and Sukisyo, or before those 2...anyway, its very good. It has ALOT of action scenes, and little romance scenes. It makes up a great anime. I'm a fan of it, even though I don't have any INUYASHA stuff, . It ended with kind of a cliffhanger. *SPOILER* I was sitting on my bed watching the last episode, and as it neared the end, I told myself, "NO!!! Inuyahsa please don't end! This hasn't happened, and this needs to happen!..." *END OF SPOILER* It a good anime though. It can be cute in some ways. I watched it in English, and I really enjoyed it. There are DVDS of INUYASHA that are still coming out, but they don't follow what was happening before. Like the last volume is like Vol.55(I think), and I checked out Vol.56. I was sure it was a volume up from the last one. When I sat home so excited to watch it, I had looked at what the episode was supposed to be. It was something like, "Inuyasha, and the Invasion of Demon Rats". Thing is, that episode was issued for an episode way before Vol.55. I made sure the DVD was the same as the case showed and it was, and it was. So I don't know whats happening, but I think it actually has ended. Don't mistake me though, it was in all in all great anime :]

Sukisyo/Sukisho
I did not want this to end! This was such a good anime. It has some more Yaoi moments then Loveless or Gravitation. But Hashiba and Nao are cute~ So is Matsuri. Its a good story. Though it gets a little confusing near the end, its pretty nice. Only watch if you can stand Yaoi...Watched in Japanese.

Lucky Star
I don't think there is a flaw in this anime. I <3 the randomness. The only flaw it might have would be its randomness. Though it has no romance, its so funny. Its pretty good, but make sure you don't watch this as your first anime. Watch at least 1 or 2 others before this one :] Although, it is pretty great Watched in Japanese.

Petite Princess Yucie/Puchi Puri Yuushi
^_^ I loved this one so much...It has Romance, Fantasy Violence, and especially Comedy. Such a CUTE series. Anyone should watch this one(though its more directed to girls). It may not seem so interesting when you watch the first episode, but you can get attached to the characters easily. I cried my eyes out in this one..its pretty beautiful. Petite Princess Yucie is actually(-well, probably-)the anime I cried most about. I was sad because it ended, but it had a pretty good ending. Of course, all of us who have our favorite animes end want it to go on for longer I saw this one in Japanese.

Ouran High School Host Club
TWO WORDS: SECOND SEASON!!!! This anime was AMAZING. <33 I don't know what to say about it. One minute your laughing, and the next your either in love with the characters, or surprised about what may happen next. They haven't dubbed it in English yet, but the Japanese version is so GREAT. The voices fit the characters really good. I haven't read the manga, but you can get the feel from the anime that the voice is the kind of voice the character should have. This anime is probably even a good first starter anime ^_^

Angelic Layer
mmm..uh...waahhh!! I just ended that series today...I love(d)it so much...(I still love it though)it doesn't have very many Romance scenes, but it has Action scenes, and its Fantasy. I really wish they would make Angelic Layer exist in the real world. I was surprised in the end though. Not about the outcome of the fight, but about the outcome of something else. It all turns out well, and has a good story. Look into it. Its pretty good ;] Voice Actors I know of: Jessica Boone, Monica Rial, Kevin Corn, Kelly Manison, Tiffany Grant, Tiffany(Tarell I think..), Sasha Paysinger, Chris Patton, Christine Auten, and Mariela Ortiz. Additional Voices(that I know of at least, or that I remember)are: Hilary Haag, Chris Williams, Janice Williams(and I think David Williams plays an additional voice..).

Yay! This took me quite awhile...Thanks for reading! Kudos would REALLY be appreciated! ^_^ I wish you all happy anime watching!

So, my sister and I were walking the dogs, and it just so happens that we couldn't go to the YMCA to let my sister's dog Patch run. So we ended up going to a field that was not to far from there. Now, we were walking all 3 dogs, and we let 2 go. I was walking one dog(because we can't trust that dog well enough to let him go), and playing with another. So, I throw the ball for one of my dogs, and I ran with the one that was still on its leash. Well, at some point while I was running the mud started to sink...and it sunk and got you stuck in there good. I thought it would stop soon, but...I ended up getting a little stuck. I thought I could pull myself up. ..and I did, except for the fact, that my shoes didn't come with me!! My sister comes over where I am, and by this time, I'm out of the mud and on solid ground. She looks at me, and says, "Where are your shoes?" I replied,"I lost them in the mud!!" So, she says, "Well, go back in there and get them out." I paused.."I can't do that..I'll get even more stuck!" Lindsay(my sister) says, "Jillian, you need to get back in there because, we are not going to leave unless you find your shoe." I thought for a minute..'I really do like those shoes..and mom will be mad at me if I don't get them...' so, I ended up going back in there and searching for my shoes. I think I looked kind of like a savage down there. I was sinking ALOT more now, and I was stuck. My socks were all muddy, and the mud looked like all this water swirling about at the top..and it was liquidy too. Especially at the bottom. my socks were getting dirty and wet, and I was down there digging with me hands-there was a tiny hill with solid ground where my sister was watching and standing laughing at me.- I finally found ONE shoe. my sister just started cracking up because I was trying to get resituated, and I was grunting to get unstuck from the mud. next thing I know Lindsay is calling my brother(Preston) on her cell phone. He answers the phone, and she goes,"Preston you have to see this..its so funny!!" She told him where we were, and in like 7 mins. he was there. He saw me from across the street, and started laughing just like Lindsay had. He crosses the street, and by this point, I was very dirty on my legs. Now, I was wearing clothes that I didn't really want to get this dirty. I mean you don't really imagine looking for your shoes in the mud and getting stuck once in awhile when you walk the dogs. plus, the thing that made it hard to look for my shoes was because the mud like, covered, and sank over my shoes. i told Lindsay and Preston, "You guys help me!!!" Lindsay and Preston said, "We don't want to get dirty like that, and your already like that, you can find it." As I was looking for my shoe, Patch was wanting me to throw his ball while I was in the mud. Now, this was kinda funny, because Patch was almost sinking too. Although, definetly not as much as me. Just so you know, pulling your feet out of that mud was really hard. So as I was trying to get further to looked more for my shoe, it just kept getting harder to get my feet out of the mud. I told Lindsay-as she was still laughing..- to take a picture, cause it'll last longer. She flips out her phone, and DOES take a picture. after being stuck in there for like 10 mins., I finally find my shoe. So, I tried my best to get out of the mud, and when I got out and went up the tiny hill, where Lindsay and Preston were standing ; Preston said, "Hahaa..this was one of the greatest days of my life." I just stared at him with a cold stare(or evil glare). he's like, "Jillian, I'm going to hold this to you forever. Like I'll come up to you one time and be like,'Hey Jillian, stuck in mud lately??'" I just ignored him. Although, I was crying inside..haha Jk. But still wasn't that mean of him to say?? Well, it just so happens, I lost both of my socks in the mud. I was just like, you know what? I don't care. "Lets just go home." I said. Because by this time, I was getting annoyed by the whole 'getting stuck in mud, and pulling myself out..' So we all walked home together. Preston was walking Annie, Lindsay was walking Patch, and I was still walking Dodger. This walk hurt, and it felt like it took a long time. I think the worst part was when Lindsay wouldn't let me get out of the mud 'till Preston got there. That and the fact that I had to dig, and dig with my hands in that disgusting almost-sewer- smelling mud/liquid stuff. So, thanks for reading this, and God Bless. If any of you know my sister, and want to see a picture of me stuck in the mud; it should be on her cell phone. Alright, love ya guys!
