The blog of a crazed otaku begins!

Well. Here I am, starting the second blog of my life. The first one died a slow and neglected death, but I'm hoping that this one will fare better. I mean, it does have ninjas in the title, and ninjas are very good at survival.
Now, you may be wondering why it has ninjas in the title, so I will tell you that there are actually two very good reasons. The first one is that ninjas are made of pure awesome dressed in black and carrying lots of sharp objects. The second reason is that I intend to become one. No, this is not a silly, pop-culture induced notion. I am, in all seriousness, going to train in the art of ninjutsu, just as soon as I turn sixteen and am eligible to attend my local dojo. Until then, I will satisfy myself with much ninja-oriented manga, anime, slogans, bumper stickers and suchlike, including the title of this blog.
Moving on! Considering that I put virtually nothing in my 'about me' section, I suppose I should introduce myself. The reason for leaving it all but blank was because I'm notoriously terrible at trying to write anything about myself, so bear with me through this semblance of an introduction. I don't have many goals, really, besides becoming a ninja, as goals seem like very large, commanding, hard to invent things in my opinion. I suppose, though, another goal of mine would be to get in better shape. Not that I'm fat, or lose my breath climbing the stairs or anything, but I'm not personally happy with my body at the moment, so I want to change that. I am, however, a specialsit in the art of procrastination, so this goal might take a long time to achieve. I also want, someday, to successfully complete NaNoWriMo, a tortorous task which, at times, I have no comprehension of why I want to accomplish. (Most of my friends have no idea either, but that's just because they think prizes are the only valid reason to ever attempt writing 50,000 words). I already failed this year, but hey, it was my first try, and I've learned some important things for next year's attempt. On other matters, I am unschooled, I have two dogs, two cats, two parents, and a sister. I love to write, mostly in the form of roleplaying. I find it much easier to write a wonderful story when someone else does half the work, it stops me from getting bored and simply scrapping all my progress, and best of all, my wonderful RP buddies help keep up my confidence in the fact that I'm not just spewing crap every time I start typing. I play highland snare drum as well; this is my second year learning, and although I often find practicing a bother and a chore, I do love to play. As for other hobbies, I don't really have any, unless adding monumentous amounts of flair to my Facebook profile or spending an entire six hours on Kongregate counts. I am a member of the air cadets, but I intend to change that by the end of this year, so I don't really include it in the 'hobbies' section. Maybe the 'ocassionally enjoyable often stressful maniacally time-eating activities', but I don't intend to ever have enough of those to warrant their own section.
Despite what you might be thinking by now, I am not an obsessive video gamer, (only an occasional over excited video game player), and I do have a social life beyond my computer screen. I have a collection of bizarre friends, all bringing much amusement, fun, and pointless drama to my life, and I wouldn't trade them for all the gaming platforms (or even manga) in the world. Well, I guess that pretty much sums things up. Besides that, the only thing there really is to say about me is that, well, I'm me. Maybe if you stick around and read the pointless ramblings of a soon-to-be-ninja, you'll get to know me better. ^__^

Me, on one of the rare occasions that I attempt cooking, getting some help from Kumagoro.

My sister, the one who pestered me into getting a blog. She blogs at http://yes-i-can-write.blogspot.com/


My mom, in the pantry she finished building. She blogs at http://garden-of-days.blogspot.com/
(Maybe I was just feeling left out of the family blogging XP).


My dad. He does not blog.
My big-nosed silly dog, Winston. He does not blog either.


My crazy old dog, Flora. (Isn't she cute? ^__^)

The fat cat, Minni. (My sister spazzed out when I tried to write 'my' XP).

My awesome cat, Henry.
