Something I've never been able to turn off in regards to comics/fic/shows I'm interested in is theorizing what's going to happen next. If something is shown to be a mystery, I scour my canon knowledge to see what hints have been made and how they can tie together.

So I've made a great deal many theories on the MNT: Gaiden (which was recently updated again) plot before. I'm really starting to think that my ashes theory may be be true after all. But since then I've had a few more, all of which I've discussed over at TT and will cut and paste here:

( On the curse, Don's 'reality', and Renoir and his origin )</div></div>After that I went off and theorized a little more. You'll notice how originally I was seeing hints but couldn't make the connection in those theories. Yeah, well I just thought of something. Mind you, it continues to be far-fetched, but at least now it's a bit more concrete.

( Gimme some newpaper clippings and string, 'cause it's all connected )

My futon is lovely. I can lay down and watch television at the same time now. Hooray!

Funimation dub for One Piece continues to pwn. Got the fourth DVD set yesterday and have already watched half of it. The 4kids dub is slowly but surely being erased from memory.

I have officially become a Deadpool fan. After reading The Top 70 Deadpool Moments (Comic Version), I decided there was just no way I could continue casual interest in his character. There just so much to it! And the supporting characters- it's all so amazing.

I decided that I simply had to collect all of his comics. Unfortunately, however, I'm already hitting some road blocks. The ones from his first solo run are really hard to find and the ones I have found (which is only half, mind you), run anywhere from five to thirty dollars an issue.

I've found two TPB's that were released collecting some of the first few, which thankfully saves some time and money. But these were released within a year from one another, so I don't know how fast-moving they'll collect the other issues.... However I do this, it will be slow going collecting them.

Though maybe the new Deadpool movie will get the ball going on that one. If not, than I can still squee over the fact that there's going to be a Deadpool movie XD. Also? Marvel Studios is going to produce this one. Thank you God- if anyone can bring some canon back into his storyline, it's them.

Probably gonna be a while though. I mean, there's a whole slew of movies that were first in line. Deadpool's gonna have to get in line behind Magneto... and the second Iron Man movie... and Nick Fury (Wow, really?)... and Ant-man... and Thor... and Captain America... and the Avengers movie.

...This movie will come out in 2012, if I'm lucky.

Then again, movies have a weird way of development. Example being that I'd heard of the Magneto movie a while back, but I just recently found that hwile the script is done, it hasn't been greenlighted. On the other hand, the new Iron Man movie is already filimg. (shrugs) Who knows.

In the meantime, I shall satisfy myself with comics. (waits on the mail)

...Not to switch topics again, but speaking of comics! There's been an update on MNT: Gaiden!

( Mad world... just got even madder... )

And again I fall behind. Man, I used to write an entry like everyday now. Seems I've become too much of a Youtube junkie to remember it anymore. ^_^;

Can't even recall half the stuff I wanted to mention anymore either. Ah well. Nothing too exciting, I suppose.

Well, I'll take that back. The first fourteen pages of Chapter 17 of MNT: Gaiden are up. Updates for that are always squee worthy. :D Seems like this one's Don-centric, which is really making me anxious. Here's hoping he doesn't kill Leo.

On a side note, I had a weird random thought the other day regarding this comic. As it was made evident in the last chapter, the curse is still hanging around. And for some reason that made me flashback to the prologue. You know- the part where Splinter takes it into himself and Leo has to kill him (;_;).

Here's where the random thought popped up- though Splinter was killed, wouldn't the curse still be in him? I mean, he wasn't completely destroyed- his ashes were there, after all. What if it stayed in those? And then Donatello comes along and gathers them up...

I dunno. Just found that really interesting. :)

Anyways. that aside. Went driving again today. I'm pretty damn sure this was my worst drive to date. It was in town once again, but not in the little subdivisions or anything. Nope- this time I was driving in the busiest intersections in town in rush hour traffic.

Holy shit, I was scared to death. O_O

Worse yet, this was the first time I had to practive changing lanes. I was pretty awful at that, but I think I improved a little towards the end. Nevertheless, it was pretty bad. I was about ready to declare I'd never drive anywhere but to work after that. Hopefully next week will be better.

As for now, I'm kinda just sitting around. My friend is back from the Dominican Republic, and we were thinking about doing something, but she kinda forgot me. I just got a call from her a little while ago, but by now it's a bit too late to do anything. We're thinking about watching a movie in a couple of days though, before I go to work.

Either way, it's left me wondering about myself. I'm beginning to think I'm just a very forgettable person. In real life, friends and family are constantly forgetting about me. Online... well, only a few people I was talking to last year still talk to me regularly. I know they're all much busier now, as am I, but nothing is like how it used to be.

I can recall how last year, even when barely anything would happen that day, I'd still talk to several people. Now it's like even when people come online, few of them are talking to me. Others disappear before I have the chance to say a hello. When I myself initiate the conversation with someone I haven't talked to in a while, it always seems to die fast.

It all just makes me... very confused. I realize people have a lot of other stuff going on in their lives, but it just seems so odd that the majority of them would all so suddenly avoid me like the plague. Thus the current train of thought... there really must be next to nothing worth remembering about me.

I'm attempting to get used to it. Distractions are helpful.

ZOMFG GUYS, MNT GAIDEN HAS BEEN UPDATED AND LEO'S THERE AGAIN AND IT WAS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL AND LASTED A WHOLE 31 PAGES!!!!!!!!!!

[capslock squeeing mode has been turned off]

I better stop myself there before I give away any spoilers. XD But yes, the entire sixteenth chapter of Gaiden has appeared! Yay! And in case you didn't catch that small bit as I was foaming at the mouth, Leo made another appearance! Actually- several. This chapter had a lot to do with him. (little hearts)

And now, of course, I'm totally psyched for the next chapter, which I'm sure we'll have to wait awhile for. >.<; Things are going to get interesting!

Chapter 16 of Gaiden

I just realized something. I think when MNT: Gaiden was last updated, I only got half the pages. O.O Because I waschecking out today's update, and there were a whole bunch of pages before it I hadn't seen!

The last one I had seen was the second chibi page, where Raph stomped on Splinter's tail. There were several in between, I found.

So you guys were all squeeing over that shot of Leo? It all makes sense now! Bwahahaha! 

Oh- and that shot was awesome. Oh yeah- I'm so framing it. XD

All right, so this will be my last post for a little while until I get my computer back. :( It's almost noon now, so I better pack it up.

I keep on making excuses to keep it a little longer. Like 'Once you get used to it, it's not that hard to use a laptop without a functioning monitor'.

...Yeah. It's about at that point that earth!logic sets in. XD

Anyways, I'll try to get down to Wal*Mart every now and then and borrow their bank's computer. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the place where I'm doing my job training at has some computers. If they do, I'll only use them sparingly. If any of you knew me when I was still going to public high school, then you know how bad of an idea it'd be for me to even think about using them as much as I did then. I assume we'll be getting lunch breaks. If they have computers, and if we get said breaks, I may borrow a computer for a few minutes or something. 

But really, I'm going to try and be the good employee and be focused on the job. :D I can do it. I know I can. and when I get my computer back, all will be well again.

Heh... I can already imagine what's going to happen while I'm gone. Let's make a checklist! See how much of these things will actually happen when I get back.

1. At least six of my favorite stories will be updated.
2. MNT: Gaiden will be updated (and Leo will have a speaking part XD).
3. One of my other favorite comics, which is over on dA, will be updated.
4. My favorite RP over at TT will develop further then the point I'd last read.

I really don't mind if any or all of these things happen. Gives me something to look forward to, actually! :) I just will find it so ironic if all of the things I have been waiting for actually do happen.

Now for a checklist of things I'm going to do while I'm gone!

1. Weep over lack of net access.
2. Complete three days of job training.
3. Talk/see my dad (he doesn't live far from the training site- I may as well)
4. Start work.
5. Finish my casey audition for the TT RP.
6. Work on and/or finish my Fifty Sentence Prompt.
7. Work on and/or finish the next chapter of Cork.
8. Work on and/or finish one of the Round Robins I'm overdue to post on.
9. Send a present off to someone. ;)
10. Talk on the phone longer in these next two weeks than I have in the last two months. XD

Heheh... considering I spend maybe, three to five minutes on the phone a day, usually when family calls, I think that last one will be a guarantee. ...As will the first one. >.> 

....Can you tell I'm stalling? I don't want to gooooooo! ;_; (weeps)

Alas- but I must. Fairwell!

Okay. I was going to leave a nice post regarding how weird it is that I choose to listen to Baby Got Back on my way to a funeral. Or talk about some ideas for my graduation party.

But all of this is meaningless. All of it. Is this fact made clear? It's so worthless at the moment, because the news which I bear is so powerful that I can't even think to write of the other stuff.

Any of you fans of MNT: Gaiden?

Prepare yourself. Deep breaths now (I certainly needed one earlier XD).

Leo's back!  

XD SQUEEEE!

This was my reaction to it. I was IM'ing with  angrychihuahuawhen I heard the news.
