woah 21! Can you believe it?! Yay, neffie was nice enough to do this pic for me today! whoo! Thanks Neffie! ^.^

Let's see... there were a few things I was going to mention in the past few rants but didn't... First off... i got to see Spiderman 2!! If you haven't seen it already, it's wicked-awesome! The only bad part was that the fire alarm at our theater went off like... 3 times! and we missed key parts of the movie... >_< Grrr... I need to go see it again... but it was still a really cool movie. I liked it a lot. Gah... I read one of the rants on MegaTokyo the other day though and one of them said they didn't like it because it relied too heavily on CG stuff... what the crap? That was what helped make it awesome! It was a really cool movie already, but the effects just enhanced it. I don't get the reasoning of saying too much CG makes it a bad movie. (okay, maybe the Final Fantasy:Spirits Within wasn't so great, but that was because of the script, not because of the CG stuff...)

NEXT! Any Beatles fans out there? Yeah, The Beatles totally rock. I got to go see a concert done by a band called "Imagine" that impersonate the Beatles. It was freaking awesome. They were so cool and even dressed like them! I loved it! We had to get there a couple hours early so we could get good seats.(we put out a blanket like, right in front of the stage! that's how close we were!) BUT... y'know... some people have NO manners. While we were sitting on our blankets(we had like 1/2 a blanket of extra space) These teenage kids just come and sit on our blanket like it's nothing! Hello! I think they thought it was part of their friend's blanket, but still! At the intermission I would think they would have moved on or moved over or something, but did they? NO! They called up their friends and even MORE people came and invaded our space! Talk about rude! My sister and I made sure to scream really loud(for the band of course...) right in their ears... ^.^ After which they moved quite quickly... but honestly! no manners! sheesh! Anyway, the band was awesome! They dressed as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for the 2nd half! I was (as Ty-chou would say) totally stoked! It made me wanna go home and watch some of our old Beatles movies... Anyone aside from our family seen the movie "Help!"? SO funny. I love it. and of course Yellow Submarine... ^-^

Finally... I wanted to ask if anyone knows what the bloody point of Fanlistings are? I was searching for pics of various characters and I would think I'd found a site with a gallery or something, but it would just end up being a fanlisting! It's just like... a list... of people saying "Hey! I like this character or this series!"... Why? What is up with these things? Someone please explain? They seem like a waste of space to me personally... O.o I mean... I can see maybe having a website shrine dedicated to said character or series and have a place where fans can sign up and say, "hey! I love this character!" etc... but having a whole site that is just a list? Why??? *shakes head* I just don't get it...

Anyway! There's my super-long birthday rant! Now, off to the bar to get drunk and check out the male strippers! ... Kidding!! KIDDING!!! o_o lol... Thanks everyone who has sent emails and such wishing a happy b-day! ^-^ You guys rock! See you next update!
