2012 is here! (Part I)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, 2012 is here.

I guess I'll talk a little about my 2011. Posts under the tag "2011" usually cover interesting events. Too many things would take too long to talk about completely, or I can just make every subject concise. I can try right? Even more frustrating when one or two of my keys are getting stuck under my fingers.

Suicide/Homosexuality/Bullying/Videos
It felt like that, in 2011, the tone of bullying really gotten strong. Especially suicide from bullying. I could probably say that I had a not-so-pleasant social life (or maybe not as how I liked it to be. Or maybe I was envious) because of bullying. Even at a young age, I just knew not to be with people like that.

GUNDAM
Was it 2011 or 2010 when I started to really focus on the gundam series? Anyways, one time, I told myself I wanted to get into the gundam series more because it's such a long-lasting and popular robot franchise. In America, there was like Starship Troopers, ExoSquad, Transformers, etc. Transformers is still going ;) Throughout 2011, I watch Gundam Unicorn and the "preferred for children" Gundam AGE.

The protagonists Banagher (Unicorn) and Flit (AGE) are ordinary. Banagher's alliances, or maybe his positions in where and when to use the Unicorn gundam, seem to get switched too much. It first started that he was protecting the colony from the Sleeves, but now it's all about family ties, political corruption, and the L+ Box.

Martha is totally mean ;)

Spring weather (rainstorm, tornados)
Weird weather. Incredibly hot in the Summer and some of the worse rainstorms and tornado ever witnessed. It's even a little warm now, right here in Michigan. The snow is lacking as well. There was also the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the quake in Turkey, etc. I felt that the world was going nuts. Apparently, there was a small quake in Michigan? o-O Never felt it.

Thundercats
Of couuuuuuuuurse! I was like a little girl, got excited about sitting in front of the TV. It's fun and weird at the same time. I can't explain the latter too well. Like there is some inconsistency in the character personalities? Maybe it's just me. Does Lion-O still want revenge? And I really want better fights with Mumm-Ra. "Legacy" was a cool episode!

Cedar Point
I only stayed there for a day, but it was worth it. Finally rode the Raptor after wanting to for years. Maybe I do have tolerance to coasters.

Babysitting
If I don't say this, I don't think I'll feel better. Maybe I like to reveal that I'm a jerk about this. I get really pissed at teen parents. I'm still a bit prejudice about it, despite reading a nice story about a young teen parent on someone's blog (name escapes me). I was relieved a little, but my sister is not making my bitterness better. I'd go on but I'll leave it.

People say "leave the past". Can't be done if you keep acting what you're trying to put away. If that makes sense.

So I ended up babysitting and mommy-sitting a lot. Parents are sickly, and omg, the baby is crazy active. ><; Wasn't any better after mom's surgery. Fortunately, the niece and I have a good relationship ^^; Matter of fact, I haven't picked her up in a while and don't think she liked that. She's a beggar, she's spoiled, etc.

Family
So, mom went through a crazy year. Fainting, pneumonia, bronchitis (I think), amazing healing, etc. It's strange since it's usually my dad who is sick. I was annoyed that she couldn't go to the doctor quicker and there were some days that I had trouble sleeping. Even worse when I got sick. She had to go through emergency surgery and such. Almost didn't make it because of blood buildup. Apparently she had clinical death.

xD I'm still thinking about her morphine (?) story. She thought she saw ants crawling from the wall when they were just holes.

Kamen Rider
Fourze will be the first Kamen Rider that I watch through fully. Or so I hope, I am enjoying it so far. I feel that I have a lot to learn. If I'm lucky, maybe the series will end up like gundam, and I'll get interested in the other older shows?

Cyber Formula
Definitely the year of Cyber Formula. I glad that I finally got into it as I really wanted to watch a motorsports show.

PS2 Memories: Breath of Fire 3 and 4. =D
Nostalgia. After keeping my PS CDs of BOFIII and IV intact, I finally play them after so many years. Oh, it feels so good. Not sure on how to talk about it.

The GodFather
So...

There's this flash game, which I kept seeing advertised. Since I'm into reading about crime organization, I checked it out. I joined it and well, a little addicting. Addicting, SOMEHOW!
