Kai's Procrastination

So, Topaz round is over... got my prediction correct that my queen would win... Amethyst round starts next week... all is well... in the virtual world at least. Real life is a different story.

Right now, I'm listening to Meltdown by Rin Kagamine, drinking a weird Sierra Mist with cranberry splash. It's masking the diet taste soooo well, it's pretty weird. And I have an ankle brace thing on my... well, ankle obviously. Messed it up pretty bad playing handball with my friends, but man that was a crazy save! If my ankle didn't get messed up I could have returned the ball but the pain was a bit unbearable at the time so I had to give up the shot. I have to say though, handball is quite the workout, especially if you play the way I do. Hard to explain, better if you watch me play.

Academics-wise, everything's okay I suppose. For my AP computer science class and AP calculus class, we're taking our final exams already. This pretty much makes up my grade, which really sucks. I bombed one part of my final exam in calculus, and if I don't make up for it with the multiple choice tomorrow, my grade's screwed in at a B+/B. Good bye A's in math for all four years. =[

Computer science is totally different. Our exam is what a lot of peoples' grades are riding on, because we have these awesome things called floors. If we get anything from 3.0 to 3.4 on any part of the exam, it will get floored at a 3.0, which is a B. We can only go higher from there, which is the awesome part! If we get a 3.5 to 3.9, we floor at a 3.5, which is I think an A-, but I don't see myself getting anything higher than a 3.4 on any part on my exam. But if I do floor some units, I can pull my grade up, which is going to be awesome. There's one more part that I may be overlooking, but hopefully doesn't mess me up too bad.

Phew that was a long post about my life, and that's only like... close to 3 hours worth of school time, haha. That's not even including what I've had to do for about the past month or so, and that in itself is draining. But I'll save that for another post. Why the hell does this soda not taste like usual diet sodas? Puzzling...

OH HOW I LOVE A GOOD PREDICTION. YES! I knew Mikoto wasn't going to get it. Never doubted Taiga for a second! She's so loveable! Why wouldn't you love her?!

So the image to the left is NOT mine. It's from the official site. But O-M-G it's sooooo pretty. Haha, sorry, totally fanboying right now, not very cool. But I'm just so happy that I was able to predict this and actually get it right! Now I can definitely see her come back next year. Who knows; maybe she'll get another necklace?

Congrats to my loverly winner~

As for the other matches...

Hinagiku vs Mikoto
HAH MIKOTO. IN YOUR FACE. Your undefeated streak ends here. Hinagiku barely edges Mikoto with around 200 vote lead, which is still pretty close, but not as close as...

Tomoyo vs Azusa
This match up was waaaay too close for comfort. Tomoyo barely won by... less than 20 votes! That's CRAZY CLOSE. Another close match was Rin vs Mafuyu, with Rin winning by about 100 votes.

Matches I'm sad about...

Saber vs Mio
Fate vs Yui
Mikuru vs Chizuru

Life stuff - I found out today that I got an A range grade on my anatomy test. All I have to do if hopefully get a good grade on the pamphlet project we just did, and if my grade is close enough to an A- or is in the A range, I don't have to take the anatomy final! Yeah! I can see me taking a final in american government though. I hate history with a passion, despite the fact that we need history or pretty much we're screwed.

Well that's it for now. I shouldn't really be posting because it is currently 3:07 AM as I finish up this post. I gotta salvage some sleep before I head off to more exams tomorrow. Joy. -_-

Seeyas~

Yep, I said it. It's a bit overhyped. I was going crazy because the girl I wanted to ask to the prom got asked by another dude before I could, and that was sort of my only option... Luckily I was able to ask my other friend who I am already taking to her prom.

But yeah, I was stressing so bad because I actually wanted to go with her... I was slow the draw I guess, pretty bad. I'd go with "I have horrible luck" (which I do), but I know if I asked her she would have said yes, so it's not horrible luck, just me taking too long. After I found out, I just started to panic, go crazy, got kind of sad because I didn't have a backup, so I went to talk to some friends. Most of them just comforted me, said some form of "I'm sorry," but there was one guy who said some very deep things to me that actually made me think of what prom actually was.

[00:34] Chensaw: Kyle
[00:35] Chensaw: im not sure of the reason why im telling you this
[00:35] Chensaw: but the point im trying to make is
[00:36] Chensaw: Prom doesnt really matter as far as who you go with
[00:36] Chensaw: what prom is
[00:36] Chensaw: is a celebration of your 4 years of high school

Yeah I chat late, so what. I normally stay up past midnight now, bad habit of mine. But yeah, his alias is Chensaw; I don't know his real name, I know he lives in Florida, but I trust him so far as to let him know my real name and to discuss things like these to him.

We guys stress out so much trying to figure out who to ask to prom and in what extravagant way we can ask out (hopefully) partner. Some ask very simply like asking the question straight up, others decide to try to do something and go all-out. Personally, I like the simple, but I digress. We stress out if the person we want to go with gets taken. But after this little conversation I had with Chen, it opened my eyes.

It really doesn't matter who we go with. When prom comes close, everyone asks "Who're you going to ask?" or "Who are you going with?" That's all people ask about prom, aside from "What dress are you going to wear?/What are you wearing to prom?" Prom was meant to be something special - it doesn't matter if you go to prom with someone or not, it doesn't matter if you got rejected when you asked, what matters is that you enjoy prom. You're going with someone? Great for you, hope you two have a fun time. Going alone? You're awesome for coming, even if it's not with anyone. Hell, go with your friends! Prom's about enjoying yourself, and as Chen said, it's "a celebration of your 4 years at high school." After reading that, I became well relaxed, start to stress less about who to ask because he was right.

That's my thoughts for this week. Going solo, going as a couple, going with friends, it doesn't matter as long as you celebrate. In the words of the famous Black Eyed Peas, "Just live it up."

As of now, the current undefeated candidates, and possible winners, of the Topaz round are as follows...

1. Misaka Mikoto
2. Katsura Hinagiku
3. Aisaka Taiga
4. Shana
5. Nagato Yuki
6. Saber
7. Akiyama Mio (Die, you already got the Aquamarine one... =_=

Undoubtedly, some of these fine ladies will be paired up against each other forcing them to receive a loss. In my opinion, Mio should go up against either Hinagiku or Shana to make it impossible for one of them to keep a spotless record so far in the regular season; I'd be happy if she went up against Mikoto for Pete's sake! Anything to prevent Mio from getting a second necklace. I'll be fine if she makes it into the final brackets, but blah, Mio for multiple necklaces should NOT happen.

My prediction? Aisaka Taiga. She can lunge for the necklace from third seed, so long as she doesn't go up against Hinagiku, Shana or Mikoto. If she does, then there's a second loss to add to her tallies. But hey, if not the necklace, I can see Taiga making the final bracket. That'll make me happy.

P.S.: Just realized I've only been posting the even rounds. Someone's gonna win next round, I predict either Mikoto, Shana, or Yuki.

Omg yay more votes. The exhibition match was oh so hard to pick, but I had to give it to miss tsundere. There were some match ups that I could see being kind of close, like Nadeko vs Mikoto and Shana vs Konata, and some that were going to be straight up massacre, like Saten vs Nagisa and all match ups against the Saki characters. For the matches I knew that were going to be massacre, I voted against the one who would win. Ooo the feeling of denying votes. It's exhilirating, no?

My votes, yay! Didn't really find any interesting match ups here. I did like the exhibition match though. One that I definitely had a vote for. D.N.Angel is AWESOME. =D

Match up of interest (in my opinion): Nadeko vs Kurimu. Too much moe for this contest to handle. Yeah I said it.

Sooo... Topaz Round 1 started today, and I totally forgot to post up my votes. Sadly, I lost the page and the code so I can't really post it up.

The Aquamarine necklace went to Mio. Ew. Straight up ew. Like "yucky ew I didn't want K-ON! to win" ew. The undefeated remaining are Mio (more ew), Shana, and Hinagiku, but I'm pretty sure that will change this round.

Shana vs Haruhi matchup seems to have a lot of history according to the featured match up on the ISML front page. Might this be where Shana may have her first loss of the regular season?

...I got nothing else to add for today. I'm lazy, this is my last day of spring break, I'm feeling lazy, I need to finish my homework... did I mention I'm lazy?

Yet moe laziness, and I'm kind of rush posting this because I want to get to looking for more Pandora Hearts wallpapers. (Alice and Echo ♥) Anyways, I'm on spring break, hooray! Luckily there is no voting from Wednesday to Saturday, and I'm out of town with some friends, so there's a win-win! Here's a few interesting match ups.

Yuki vs C.C.
Personally, I believe this is a no contest, with Yuki winning. There are, however, C.C. supporters, and I do like them both, but I didn't really have a hard time voting in this match up. I wouldn't be surprised for an upset though, because it COULD happen.

Nagisa vs Mikoto
Mikoto meets up with a veteran of the ISML, and this could be one of her toughest match ups yet. Nagisa is very popular, but Mikoto is UNDEFEATED in her first season, so this doesn't look so good for this frail young woman. Mikoto has kept her 1st seed place for around 3 rounds now; will Nagisa be the person to dethrone her from 1st place?

Fate vs Ryo
Ever since the first round with a savage loss to Shana, Fate has slowly been climbing the rankings with win after win, only losing to Haruhi in Round 4. Ryo, on the other hand, has been on a losing streak ever since her win in Round 1. Can Ryo make a possible comeback and stop Fate from taking a seat in the Core 16?

Taiga vs Chizuru
UGH. I had a hard time picking who to vote for. I love Taiga because she's cute, tsundere (which I find adorable), and compact (inside joke sorry ^_^'); I love Chizuru because she's kinda hot and I do love her cold attitude sometimes, and she feeds the little president (who makes cute noises when she chews)! This was just interesting because I had a hard time with who to vote for, but eh, gotta keep one of my favorite tsunderes in the Core 16. Plus, she's undefeated.

Nanoha vs Saber
The White Devil vs the Heroic Spirit. This was yet another one I had trouble voting with. Currently, Saber is undefeated as well, but this MAY be the match up in which she gets her first loss of the regular season. Nanoha has had a rough regular season, and it's just started, but this doesn't mean that either of these girls can't get the Heavenly Tiara.

Here are my votes:

ARENA 01: Saginomiya Isumi [Kushieda Minori]

ARENA 02: Katsura Hinagiku [Maria]

ARENA 03: [Nagato Yuki] C.C.
