			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I posted this status before:<br /><br />"Welp it appears as though I&#039;m not really a Sailor Moon fan anymore. There are numerous reasons why. Before anybody glares at me, I&#039;d like to let everyone know that this has by far been the best community I&#039;ve been a part of and I will still visit this site as much as I can."<br /><br />Yep, I&#039;ve felt like it&#039;s not a part of me anymore. Getting into a lot of bigger animes lately that have been defining me a lot more, but that&#039;s only a little bit of it. While I still credit it for being my first anime, it&#039;s just not what I find a delight anymore. It&#039;s died in me, sadly, although I&#039;ve been trying to keep it alive. There really isn&#039;t even a trace of it in my heart anymore. Yet, there is another reason - a big reason - that I just can&#039;t share. I don&#039;t want to share the reason for my own reasons. By no means, though, do I dislike the show. I feel like it&#039;s just time to give it up and start over.<br /><br />Here&#039;s hoping you&#039;ll all understand that I just had to confess this. Am also hoping none of you lose respect for me being on a Sailor Moon forum and not even liking it as much. I really hope you all will allow me to continue to post here, as I&#039;ve really come to like almost everyone on PS.net.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Life is full of disappointments, I perfectly acknowledge that. But if you ask me, there are people out there with more of them that outweigh that of the normal human being. With I being one of them, it&#039;s not a good feeling at all.<br /><br />Ultimately, though, I still realize that I&#039;m very blessed. With the 7,000 happy souls and 14,000 broken hearts, all of them are living glorious lives that another soul doesn&#039;t have at this very moment. How many children in Haiti would beg for another bite on their table, or some clean wear in the morning. Why should one really complain that he didn&#039;t get into an amazing school? Because I didn&#039;t get into my dream school doesn&#039;t mean the end of the world, and in the end, I am thankful. Life isn&#039;t over just yet. Although now I find my soul crushed under heavy rubble, I&#039;ve yet to await what God has in store for me in the future, and that&#039;s all the more reason to keep living life as it is. <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/2_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" />]]></content:encoded>

I was sick in bed but I got a lot of cool presents, my favorite present this year was this Super Street Fighter IV Chun-Li action figure (I attached a pic of her) she&#039;s so cool and super possible, the detail on her is unbelievable and beautifully done! I&#039;m a huge Street Fighter fan, even though Chun-Li isn&#039;t my favorite character I really wanted her figurine because she&#039;s my second favorite, my first being Cammy, who I&#039;m hoping to get for my birthday in a few weeks. <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/icon5.gif" alt="AnimeSmile1" title="AnimeSmile1" title="v_middle" /><br />I got a whole bunch of other things for X-mas... a lot of Hello Kitty paraphernalia (which I love!) but no Sailor Moon stuff <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> but again my b-day is less then a month away and I&#039;m wishing to get some cool SM stuff to add to my collection <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" title="v_middle" /><br />Well, that&#039;s about it moonies,I&#039;ve missed you all and I hope all your Christmases were great, tell me about them and lmk what you all got from Santa-san and what your favorite gift this year was <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/13_grin.gif" alt="Happy" title="Happy" title="v_middle" />  <br /><br /><br />&#12354;&#12394;&#12383;&#12398;&#21451;&#20154;,<br />Aino Minako&#9829; <br /><br />P.S.<br />I have a message from Usagi&#9829; for you all, she sends her love and hopes you all had an awesome Christmas. She&#039;s up in Maine, she went up there to spend Christmas and the New Year with her family. She gets no cellphone signal or internet access up where she is... she actually called me from a payphone to say Hi and wish me a Merry Christmas <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/2_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" /><br />She apologizes for not writing her RP post and promises she will as soon as she gets back to the world of the living LOL.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Wednesday, 19th December 2012<br />04:00 AM<br /><br />&#12495;&#12525;&#12540;&#12461;&#12486;&#12451;&#9829;<br /><br />So I know it&#039;s the second time this week that I&#039;ve written to you... but last night something happened that I couldn&#039;t pass on the opportunity of blogging about. Okay, here it goes:<br />Usagi-chan asked me if I wanted to do karaoke with her last night (Tuesday night)... it&#039;s been awhile since I have gone out and I haven&#039;t seen Usagi-chan lately due to her crazy busy schedule at school and her trying to buckle down and study for her exams (LOL, I know Usagi-chan focusing on school-work... it really must be the end of the world <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/6_tongue.gif" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" title="v_middle" />) so agreed to go to karaoke with her. She picked me up at my house around seven PM and the second I sat in her car she turned to me and said: "Minako-chan, you better go back in and change into something more formal... what you&#039;re wearing is too casual." So I replied with: "Usagi-chan, it&#039;s karaoke at a downtown bar... how formal do I need to dress?" Well she then decided to fill me in on the fact that she has a company Christmas party that she needs to attend and she doesn&#039;t want to go alone so she wants me to go with her as her plus one. I was a little aggravated that this was being dumped on me at the very last minute but I felt bad for Usagi-chan so I went back into the house and slipped on a cocktail dress. <br />We got to the Christmas party which was at a restaurant in the heart of downtown Providence called Jacky&#039;s Waterplace... it was a nice restaurant and I was super delighted when I found out it was open bar, hehe! Anyways, we all sat that this huge table (Usagi-chan, myself and her co-workers plus their plus ones; which consisted of employee&#039;s husbands, wives, boyfriends or girlfriends) Usagi-chan and I were sitting directly in front of a co-worker of Usagi&#039;s (who we&#039;ll call Rhonda and her husband who we&#039;ll call Donald) Rhonda and Donald were extremely loud and somewhat uneducated, especially Donald who&#039;s favorite words out of his limited vocabulary were f&#42;ck, sh&#42;t and assh&#42;ole... I quickly became extremely uncomfortable because I hate to be around people who swear a lot, it just bothers me. I kept shooting looks of discomfort at Usagi who honestly was becoming just as irritated of this guys foul mouth, but we kept our cool and just tried to ignore him and enjoy our dinner. <br />A few hours later, Rhonda stated that she was stepping outside to have a cigarette and asked her husband, Donald (aka potty mouth) if he could take her clutch (a small handbag, for those of you who may not know what a clutch is) and watch after it while she stepped out for a cigarette. Donald replied: "F&#42;ck no, I ain&#039;t holding that sh&#42;t... I ain&#039;t no f&#42;cking faggot!" The table went silent...<br />For those of you who may not know this, Usagi-chan (also known as Usagi&#9829; here on PS.net) is a boy... a gay boy, he&#039;s one of my dearest friends, I&#039;ve known him, well Usagi-chan since I was in grammar school. I love him... her dearly and I don&#039;t tolerate anyone making her feel uncomfortable or discriminated in any way shape or form. I looked at Usagi-chan and noticed that she was totally upset... I knew that she wasn&#039;t going to say anything (because Usagi isn&#039;t the confrontational type of person) but what this dumb-ass said really made my blood boil and I honestly couldn&#039;t bite my tongue any longer. I turned to this douche-bag and asked: "Excuse me sir, are you not aware that you are in mixed company and that someone who is gay is sitting right across from you and you using that term is extremely offensive to him?" The scum-bag had the nerve to look at me and say: "F&#42;ck off bi&#42;ch, what are you his F&#42;ckin mother!?... If the little faggot has anything to say he can say it to my face, he doesn&#039;t need to be havin you fight his battles for him!"<br />Well, let&#039;s just say that my glass of gray goose vodka cosmopolitan was delicately thrown at this pig&#039;s face and Usagi-chan and I left the Christmas party table with everyone standing and applauding... we later found out that he and his wife Rhonda were kicked out of the party for being belligerently drunk, I hope Rhonda still has her job in the morning and if by whatever miracle she does I&#039;m sure she won&#039;t be seeing a Christmas bonus this year.<br />Usagi-chan and I ended up at The Dark Lady (our favorite club) and sang karaoke until it closed. On the way home Usagi expressed to me how grateful she is for having me as a friend but in all actuality I&#039;m the lucky one to be able to call her my best friend, I love you Usagi-chan&#9829;               <br /><br /><br />&#12354;&#12394;&#12383;&#12398;&#21451;&#20154;,<br />Aino Minako&#9829;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Monday, 17th December 2012<br />12:05 PM<br /><br />&#12495;&#12525;&#12540;&#12461;&#12486;&#12451;&#9829;<br /><br />This weekend was a really depressing and aggravating past few days for me... my best friend and I got into a huge fight, so huge that we&#039;re no longer speaking.<br />It all started on Saturday, when he was suppose to hang out with me, we don&#039;t see each other very often due to the fact that he lives in Massachusetts and I in Rhode Island so when we make plans to hang out I look forward to it a great deal. He was suppose to be at my house by noon on Saturday and when eleven o&#039;clock rolled along and I still hadn&#039;t heard from him, I texted him to see what was up... he replied thirty minutes later saying that he had just woken up and that he got home at three AM cause he went out with a few friends to some bar and he now has a killer hangover and doesn&#039;t know if he&#039;ll be able to make it down to hang out.<br />This set me off so bad, I based my entire day around the notion that we&#039;d be hanging out... I canceled other important obligations, put off errands I had to do (like X-mas shopping) to spend the day with him and he totally blows me off at the last minute!? I was beyond mad... so I basically told him that I was done with our friendship, the thing is that this situation wasn&#039;t the only cause to me reacting this way, for awhile now he had been acting different towards me and our friendship. We would make it a priority to hang out and see one another a few times a month but now months and months go by without us seeing each other... he would call me every night and we&#039;d text all day long and now I&#039;m lucky if we speak at least once a week. <br />This all started when he became friends with a certain group of people, it&#039;s like I no longer am a priority to him... I try to include him in everything I do but when it comes to him, he forgets about me and I&#039;m sick and tired of being on the sideline when it pertains to his life!<br />I don&#039;t know... maybe I&#039;m over reacting... I just want my best friend back.      <br /><br /><br />&#12354;&#12394;&#12383;&#12398;&#21451;&#20154;,<br />Aino Minako&#9829;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Saturday, 01st December 2012<br />7:20 PM<br /><br />Dear Kitty-Chan&#9829;<br /><br />It&#039;s the first day of December, X-mas is only 24 days away, that&#039;s only three weeks and three days from now to be exact. Honestly I can&#039;t wait for it to be over... I hate this time of year, it&#039;s always been so depressing for me <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> <br />But anyways, on a lesser serious note, I&#039;ve started a group here on PS.net... I guess you could say it&#039;s a role-playing group, I want to get people to role-play as their favorite SM character here on the site. There&#039;s five of us so far, here&#039;s the links to our profiles, if you are not yet our friend request us please <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/2_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" /><br /><br />Usagi&#9829;<br />http://www.princessserenity.net/profile-3496/<br /><br />Ami&#9829;<br />http://www.princessserenity.net/profile-3523/<br /><br />Rei&#9829;<br />http://www.princessserenity.net/profile-3532/<br /><br />Makoto&#9829;<br />http://www.princessserenity.net/profile-3435/<br /><br />(and myself) Minako&#9829;<br />http://www.princessserenity.net/minakoX3/<br /><br />So basically it&#039;s simple, if you&#039;d like to join and role-play as your favorite SM character just inbox either me or Usagi-chan and we&#039;ll add you on board.<br />So I&#039;m attaching a picture of my SM collection, I posted this picture as my status but I&#039;m not sure if everyone got to see it due to the statuses needing to be approved and then once they are they become lost in the news feeds. But yeah, here&#039;s my pride and joy ^-^ I started collecting SM paraphernalia when I was eleven or so, through all the moving I&#039;ve done it&#039;s always gone with me. I did have the complete SM manga series, but I let a friend borrow it and he ended up moving to California and I never got them back <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> some good advise, if you&#039;re letting a friend borrow your manga DON&#039;T give them all of them at once! Give them one book at a time, when they return a book give them the next one, I learned that the hard way. I&#039;m starting to collect the manga all over again though, I just ordered Super S vol. 1-3 and StarS vol. 1-4 online, they should be coming in on Monday, YAY! I wanna go check out Barns & Noble and see if they still carry SM manga, if so I&#039;ll pick up a few issues. Well, that&#039;s it for now... I&#039;ll write again soon!  <br /><br />Love,<br />Minako-chan&#9829;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Welp, thus begins the first day of December tomorrow. It has been a good concluding week of November, I must say. God has been gracious to us, and He has blessed every one of us with many great things this week. However, I felt His love strongly for this week, as I realized I&#039;ve just made the most successful week of my high school life ever. It may have been a miracle, or maybe not, but Our Heavenly Father has gifted me this week a 100 in AP statistics, a 97 in AP Calculus, an 88 in AP Chemistry, and a 100 in AP Government - some of the highest grades in AP classes I&#039;ve ever received in my high school years.<br /><br />However, this blog mainly refers to what&#039;s about to come. Two of my friends got accepted into The College of William & Mary, one of the best schools in the nation that I&#039;m also applying to. I feel really happy for them, of course, but then again those moments of excitement and fear pile-drive into me.<br /><br />It&#039;s one of those moments where I just look upon myself and ask, "Am I good enough?" Sometimes I feel I do, sometimes I don&#039;t. My application was only 99% flawless, looking back upon it. There could&#039;ve been much more I could do - better SAT test scores, bringing the grades up from earlier high school years, and possibly doing much more than I already am for my community. I think of myself as Oskar Schindler right now when he says, <i>"I could have got more out. I could have got more. I don&#039;t know. If I&#039;d just... I could have got more...I could have gotten one more person... and I didn&#039;t! And I... I didn&#039;t!"</i><br /><br />Sounds a bit extreme? Yeah, it really seems quite melodramatic for me. I have a busy weekend coming up and yet I can&#039;t sleep once again. I could go on and continue to talk about how I feel right now, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s necessary. I will leave you with this:<br /><br /><i>Take the first step in faith. You don&#039;t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.</i><br /><br />Never give up, everyone, and don&#039;t doubt yourself. Wherever my future in college takes me, it&#039;s all in His hands now.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Thursday, 29th November 2012<br />3:50 AM<br /><br />Dear Kitty-Chan&#9829;<br /><br />So here I am, it&#039;s almost four in the morning and I can&#039;t sleep... ugh! On a brighter note, I had a pretty good day today. Well, my morning was quite boring but then I hung out with Usagi&#9829; and her friend Nam, who I got to meet tonight for the very first time. Nam is visiting from Korea, he returns tomorrow so I&#039;m glad we finally got to meet. He&#039;s a really nice guy and super polite and sweet! So Usagi-chan picked me up after she got out of work and we headed to her house. Usagi-chan cooked us dinner, yummy tacos and we played Lips (a karaoke game) on Usagi-chan&#039;s Xbox, if you haven&#039;t already figured it out, Usagi-chan and I love singing and playing karaoke is like our number one pass-time, hehe. After playing karaoke for a few hours, Usagi-chan, Nam-san and I decided to head to downtown Providence and check out a new nightclub that opened tonight, the Mirabar. It took us forever and a day to find the club but we finally did... the funny thing was that as soon as we made it into the place, the club&#039;s fire-alarm started going off, so we had to go back outside an stand in the freezing cold until the fire department went in and checked the place out. Luckily it was nothing serious, something about the fog-machine setting them off :shrugs: We only stayed at the club for like fifteen minutes, which I was more the happy to leave because I wasn&#039;t in a nightclub kinda mood. Usagi-chan dropped me off at home and here I am <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/2_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" /> Oh, I want to share something with you... I got a message from a PS.net friend, Minartemis, she sent me this really cute link of some website where you can create your own Sailor Senshi... here&#039;s the link:<br /><br />www.dolldivine.com/sailor-senshi-maker.php<br /><br />I created my own Sailor Senshi, her name is Sailor Sun, here&#039;s the pic ^-^<br /><br />Love,<br />Minako-chan&#9829;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Friday, 23th November 2012<br />11:15 AM<br /><br />Dear Kitty-Chan&#9829;<br /><br />So, it&#039;s the morning after Thanksgiving... I&#039;m bored, have nothing to do, so I guess I can tell you how my Thanksgiving turned out. I ended up having Thanksgiving here at my new home, with my boyfriend Tommy and my housemate Michael. Michael is a vegetarian, so we had to have a meatless Thanksgiving feast... which meant no turkey <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> instead we had a lot of veggies like; baked squash, sweet potatoes, string peas, fresh homemade cranberry sauce, homemade mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy made from scratch, vegetarian stuffing and the substitute for the turkey was this soy-based pot roast thingy. Michael and I slaved all day in the kitchen preparing the feast, Tommy arrived at the house around one, with a few bottles of wine... which I was more then ready to have a few glasses of due to the nerves of cooking. We ate around 3 PM, I said grace... which was a little awkward but I kept it short and sweet. After dinner we sat in the living room, listened to the radio and played Sequence, the card game. I won both times we played, hehe. We then just relaxed, polished off two bottles of red wine and chit-chatted for a few hours. Tommy then went to his parents house to have a late dinner there. Michael and I hung out and watched his favorite movie "Victor Victoria" ( if you haven&#039;t caught on yet, Michael is gay ) LOL. Tommy would never allow me to live with a straight male, LOL. The movie wrapped up a little after eleven and we basically called it a night and went to bed. No one for my family called me to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving... not that I was expecting any of them to. But all in all I had a great Thanksgiving with the love of my life and my lovely friend and housemate, Michael.      <br /><br />Love,<br />Minako-chan&#9829;]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<i>Tuesday, 20th November 2012<br />6:45 PM</i><br /><br /><b>Dear Kitty-Chan&#9829;</b><br /><br />  <i> Today was a pretty depressing day for me, my mother called me... my mother rarely ever calls me. I&#039;ve spoken to my mother once in the period of two months and the last time I saw her was this past June, I think it&#039;s quite fair to say that my mother never really cared for me all that much. She asked me if I was still planning on going to see my family in Massachusetts for Thanksgiving... I told her that I wouldn&#039;t be. She asked me why and I told her that it would be awkward seeing my father since we haven&#039;t spoken or seen one another in almost thirteen years. My father kicked me out when I was sixteen... I was expelled from Catholic school for writing my final English paper on the theory that Virgin Mary wasn&#039;t a virgin after all, I stated on the paper that she was raped by Roman soldiers and shortly after found out she was pregnant. Fearing the possibility of being banished from her village or stoned to death for bearing a child out of wedlock, she invented the whole story of carrying the son of the one true God. My final paper was brought to the bishop of the church&#039;s diocese and he decided to expel me from the school and told my parents that we were no longer allowed to be members of the church. This destroyed my father, who till this day is a strict Catholic and enraged him beyond belief because of all the money he paid for my schooling. And this is why I was kicked out of my home at sixteen and why my father till this day refuses to have anything to do with me... the last thing my father said to me as he flung garbage bags of my clothes onto the street was, "You are no longer my daughter... you&#039;ve shamed me and this family&#039;s name. You are dead to me and I shall never speak of your name." I hate the holidays, I always get super depressed around this time of year... I guess I&#039;ll be sending another Thanksgiving and Christmas alone.<br /><br />                                                                            Love,</i><br />                                                                        <b>Minako-chan&#9829;</b>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I know this will be really basic for a lot of you, but recently, I&#8217;ve noticed a lot of people having trouble with which honorific to put on the end of a name. Not only have I gotten several emails specifically asking what the difference between them is, let&#8217;s go down the list of name honorifics and review each one separately. It&#8217;s really good to know how to use each of these (if you don&#8217;t), since you can come across as pretty rude when you make a mistake!<br /><br /><b>San:</b><br /> This is the most common. It can be used on boys or girls. It can be used in formal and (somewhat) informal situations. Pretty much, san is your fail safe when you don&#8217;t know which one to use. You probably won&#8217;t get in trouble if you use this one, so it&#8217;s good to use with frequency. <b>-DO NOT-</b> refer to yourself as [your name]-san. This is very rude. You might as well start asking people to get on their knees and bow down to you. Only use this on other people!<br /><br /><b>Sama:</b><br />Most likely, you&#8217;ll never run into an appropriate situation to use sama, unless of course you want to be a little sarcastic. The only time you&#8217;ll be using sama is if 1) you&#8217;re working for a company and you&#8217;re talking to a customre, or 2) you want to be sarcastic about someone who thinks really highly about themselves. <b>-DO NOT EVER-</b>  refer to yourself as sama&#8230;well, that is, unless you&#8217;re making fun of yourself. Otherwise, there&#8217;s no reason to do it, and if you do it with a serious face, people will think you&#8217;re a big stuck up snob.<br /><br /><b>Kun:</b><br />This is where you start getting more casual. Kun is primarily used when refering to other males, usually by someone of high status to someone younger / lower status than them. A good example would be a teacher talking to a (usually male) student. Some (masculine) females get called (name)-kun, though this is less common. <b>-DO NOT-</b> use this on someone of higher status than you. That means teachers, people that are older than you, parents, etc. You get the picture. If you aren&#8217;t sure, then just use san &#8211; at least you&#8217;ll be safe that way.<br /><br /><b>Chan:</b><br />Now we&#8217;re in deep waters. Chan is primarily used on children, female family members, lovers, and close friends. Really, it&#8217;s a term of indearment. Often times, one&#8217;s name will be shortened to add chan to it. For example, when I refer to my friend <b>Orion</b>, I would shorten it to Ori-chan or my friend <b>RainStorm</b> would be shortened to Rai-chan. Using RainStorm-chan or Orion-chan would just sound awkward. <b>-DO NOT-</b>  (<i>once again</i>), use it on anyone of higher status than you. If you are using chan, the person should be much younger, or you better know that person really well.<br /><br />Anyways&#8230; if you were confused by that, then just know this is barely touching the surface. Knowing what name honorific to use in what situation is one of the easiest things to learn in terms of the whole hierarchy in Japanese speech. It gets so much worse. Anime, I think, will often give people the wrong idea when it comes to how to use san, kun, sama, & chan.<br /><br /><b>So, here&#8217;s a test. If you were to email me, what honorific would you use?</b><br /><br /><i>If I were to email our site-creator <b>Bunny Tracy</b>, which one would I use?<br /><br />If I were to email our site administer <b>Rydell Pendragon</b>, which one would I use?<br /><br />Lastly, here&#8217;s a trick question, what about <b>Santa Claus?</b></i>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So I can&#039;t sleep right now after submitting my UVA application. Why is this, though? I feel like there are some parts where it looks either awesome or awful, but nevertheless, I should get this off my shoulders...<br /><br />Really, whatever college you apply to, I believe somehow that destiny will bring you to where you belong. Our Heavenly Lord God has a plan for me, and a plan for all of us, and I promise Him to go by His plan no matter what school he sets me towards. Perhaps I&#039;m meant to go to UVA, or perhaps not. Nevertheless, we should all accept whatever failure that comes our way this December. Life is full of disappointments, but it&#039;s also filled with moments of joy and happiness that will hit you when you least expect them. All the more reason to keep living life to await whatever goodness comes your way.<br /><br />And it doesn&#039;t matter what faith you root from, either. Somehow, the world has much goodness in store for you and it&#039;s just waiting for you to make the right decisions to get there. Failure is the only opportunity to begin again, Henry Ford once said.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So Comic-Con came to Providence Rhode Island this weekend, I found out through a friend of mine who is a huge Batman fanatic, he texted me a photo of him and one of the Dark Knight (the comic) illustrators saying he was at Comic-Con. I thought he was somewhere out of state, like NYC or something, but when he replied back saying that it was at the convention center in downtown Providence, I immediately called my boyfriend begging him to take me. Tommy ( my bf ) was convinced that there was no way we could get in, "It&#039;s probably sold out." he tried telling me, but I was determined to go and experience what it feels like to be at Comic-Con, so we went not knowing if it would be a waste of time and effort. We got to the Providence convention center around 1:30 PM and to my surprise they were still selling tickets... 50 bucks for adults, I looked at Tommy and he had a look on his face of -Hell no I ain&#039;t paying a hundred bucks to walk around with a punch of nerds dressed in Star Wars costumes!- so we headed back to the main gates to think of a different plan. I noticed that there was a handicapped line that barely no one was using to go through to get into the main room where the convention was being taken place in and on top of that the kid who was checking for admission bracelets wasn&#039;t even at his post and was busy flirting with some girl checking for bracelets in some other line. "I&#039;m sneaking in." I whispered to Tommy, "follow my lead." Surely enough we managed to sneak in, but within matter of minutes two security guards tracked us down and kicked us out <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> Tommy bit the bullet and ended up paying the hundred bucks to get us in, so we waited in line for like an hour and a half to get into the convention. When we finally made it in we were so disappointed... it felt like we were at a flea-market or something. The place was full of vendors selling action figures, comics, video games, etc. And it was all so over priced! I found this anniversary edition Street Fighter PlayStation 2 video game and the guy wanted 30 bucks for it! "I&#039;ll buy it for you from Game-Stop for half that price." Tommy told me and loud enough so the guy trying to sell me it could hear. The convention was set up into three large isles, the two on the ends were only vendors selling junk you could find at yard-sales and the middle isle was were they had all the celebrities ( or lack there of ) signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. There were two or three wrestlers from the 80&#039;s, the lady that played Catwoman in the Batman TV show back in the 70&#039;s, some lady that was on one episode of Baywatch, Billy and Zack the original blue and black Power Rangers from the 90&#039;s, a few actors from the Star Wars movies... didn&#039;t really know or care to know who they were cause I&#039;m not a huge Star Wars fan, but I do know that the guy who played as Chewbacca from the 70&#039;s movies was there... in a wheel-chair. And the coolest celebrity in my opinion who was there was Nicholas Brendon, the guy who played Xander Harris from the popular TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I&#039;m a huuuuuuge Buffy buff and I gotta say I almost died when I saw Xander, LOL, but he wanted 50 bucks for a picture and 75 dollars for a picture and an autographed head-shot! I had to pass, but I did get to tell him that I am a huge fan of the show and his character AND I even got to give him a kiss on the cheek &lt;3 hehe. So that was basically it. Oh, the pic I&#039;ve attached is of me and the only cool looking cosplay character in the place... all the others were so lame! This had to have been the shortest Stormtrooper on the face of the planet! LOL, the costume was pretty awesome though <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/13_grin.gif" alt="Happy" title="Happy" title="v_middle" />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So, I&#039;ve been super busy lately... getting my article done by it&#039;s deadline, packing to move to another city and simply just finding time to continue writing my Sailor Moon fan-fiction ( Oh BTW I&#039;m creating a site just for my fan-fic, I hope once it&#039;s published you all will check it out ^-^ ) my BFF-4-life Sydney, he&#039;s like my Usagi-Chan, called me today and asked if I wanted to go to karaoke with him and a few of his co-workers... living like a hermit for the past few days, I totally jumped to the opportunity to get out of the house. Sydney, (Usagi-Chan) picked me up around 8ish... we had dinner with a mutual friend of ours, Will, at BRAVO Brasserie... this adorable little french-styled restaurant in the heart of Providence. If any of you are ever in the Providence RI area and looking for a place to dine, I highly recommend this place, here&#039;s the address ( 123 Empire Street  Providence, RI 02903 ) Tell your waiter that Parrys recommended you to the place and you&#039;ll receive, a dinner for two and a bottle of wine for 30 bucks! I know the owner Fred, great guy and the service and the ambiance is lovely... perfect for a first date or the five thousandth date <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/2_smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" title="v_middle" /> Anyways... after dinner with headed to the "Dark Lady" a local club here in Providence, LOL I know Dark Lady... Black Lady... Wicked Lady... strange association to Sailor Moon huh? Well, Dark Lady has the BEST karaoke night on Tuesdays and that&#039;s where we headed. Usagi-Chan loves to sing and as do I, but unlike Usagi-Chan, I need some serious liquid courage LOL! I&#039;ll be honest, my first song "Telephone" by: Lady GaGa was well... somewhat of a disaster, Usagi-Chan and I sang it as a duet, I was GaGa and he was Honey Bee. By the time it was time for my next song I had a nice buzz going LOL... I was so nervous, but I took that mic, closed my eyes and told myself: "Self, here is your chance to be the international pop-star you have always dreamed of becoming!" So I sang Lady GaGa&#039;s "You and I" and the crowd went wild! At the end of the song I even got a standing ovation! How cool is that!??! Well, that&#039;s pretty much how my night went... got home an hour ago... took a shower and am now writing this stupid blog about how my stupid night went LOL like any of you really give a crud... well, I hope you do <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/unhappy.png" alt="Unhappy" title="Unhappy" title="v_middle" /> I love this site, I&#039;ve really gotten to know some pretty awesome people, like, the first person to give me the time of day on here... Heero, what a great kid, friendly, kind and so intelligent! Rydell, the first administrator of the site that I grew to know... very sweet and I can tell she&#039;s truly dedicated to this site and for that I thank her &lt;3 And Orion, who took the time out of his day to visit my Facebook and &lt;LIKE&gt; my cause. I hope to make more friends on PS.net... I&#039;ve told a few of my Sailor Moon fanatic friends about it, like Usagi-Chan, hopefully more people will join. This site is truly like a community... no like a family, and I&#039;m proud to be apart of it <img src="http://www.princessserenity.net/file/pic/emoticon/default/13_grin.gif" alt="Happy" title="Happy" title="v_middle" />]]></content:encoded>
