I'll show you guys later what it is, I'm getting really tired right now and I only uploaded one photo, AND I didn't set a cool avvie yet. I'll do it later today, as well as upload more photos, and make a list of what's to be expected in the months to come...!

I just have to think of a name...

Well, well, this series just keeps getting better...

In the hype of Naruto, Death Note, and Bleach, it's easy to perhaps lose understanding that some of the lesser-known anime series' can be just as good as the most famous of all.

While watching the advert before the show, and then the introduction to episode two of this lavishly plotted series, the recurring thought of "just get on with the episode!" played repeatedly in my head.

As the video finally started showing the episode, I was immediately hooked once again. I could not pry my eyes away from the video, and I found myself wishing I had popcorn to nibble on during this brilliantly played out series...again. I also wish I had a projector, a huge white wall, and movie theatre seats as well as large buckets of popcorn and those huge paper cups to hold soda in...if I had all of that, and about ten different sodas and energy drinks (I need to stay up to watch more episodes!), I think I would be...well let's just say it would be like heaven on Earth for me (add a companion who shares the same passions of paranormal activity and anime to snuggle up with in a couple's theatre seat, and I would be particularly ecstatic!). During the middle, when the characters were having doubts of any actual ghostly figures, I was thinking it would be ironic if it turned out everything was just coincidence and imagination, but then that wouldn't make for much excitement, now would it?

Now I am eager to see what awaits in the episodes to be viewed later!

(Yes, finally, a SHORT journal entry! Praise Jebus!!)

I know I promised to create my new account this week, and everyone is awaiting this new account, but...

DO NOT PANIC, because I'll be creating it tomorrow (AKA later today; Friday)~!

That's right, I just remembered, and thankfully I remembered today rather than two weeks from now! I'll try for tomorrow, and if not, then sometime over the weekend. School's out, I just graduated on Wednesday evening, so it'll be much easier for me to find time to do this, so all of you (my watchers) won't have to wait much longer! The time is soon arriving! There is much more exciting material to be uploaded to my new account, including hundreds of photographs, a few poetic pieces, artisan crafts in the near future, and possibly even a beginning to a novel! I will have my own awesome new icon, and hopefully get a subscription so I can decorate my journal, so it won't be incredibly drab and as arid as it is now! >_>"

As well as not having homework to finish and tests to study for, being grounded (but with internet contracted into my punishment) for two weeks, until Wednesday, June 17th, will keep me even more motivated to make this new account and update more often, which is one good factor about being grounded!

As far as life outside of the web goes, I've had my ups and downs the past week or so. My best guy friend who likes me back told me he wasn't going to the 8th grade dance, but then he showed up, so I was uber excited! I told all my friends and they were girly-screaming out of enthusiasm for me! My friends and I went to the back of the dance floor, where I saw him, and I was so nervous I couldn't even go up to him to say hi, so my friends were shoving me towards him until I finally reached where he was sitting and greeted him. He got up and said it was good to see me, and that he was looking for me, and we hugged each other before, unfortunately, walking off in separate directions. Throughout the entire rest of the time, I felt ignored by him and rejected. I saw a few girls go up to him and drag him up to force him to dance, and grind on him, which saddened me, and jealousy took over. Later on, my friend came with me to ask him if he wanted to join my friends and I, and he rejected, so I gave up. I began to tear up afterwards, and my friend took me out into the hallway to get away from the loud noise and crowd of people. We went back in so I could drink my water, and my friends tried cheering me up until it ended, and I actually smiled and laughed as they did so, and was in a good mood until I was getting a ride home. When I talked to my guy friend later during the weekend, he had told me he would have joined my friends and I if he had heard us (WOW that really sucks that he didn't hear...), and he wanted me to sit by him so we could talk (sucks I didn't know that...), so everything was fine then.

Before I go into a novella-style journal, I'm going to end here and summarize the rest of my time since last update, and my future plans...basically, I asked out my friend, he rejected because he wants to get to know me more (was saying "idk" all the time when I brought it up before he rejected, because of my theories that he didn't wanna hurt me by saying no, didn't wanna hurt the friendship, and really just didn't know), and after much thought that him and I probably wouldn't happen, asked out my other friend only to get rejected by him, too. At least I still have that tiny bit of hope that maybe my first friend I asked out and I will work once we get to know each other a lot more, and they didn't turn me down rudely. My other friend felt really guilty about rejecting me, even told me not to think of it as a rejection, but that he just doesn't like me the way I like him, and to think of him as a brother (I wouldn't date a brother, so thinking of him as one should definitely help my lovesickness).

My future plan is to use my journal not only as a tool to update my watchers, but a reviewing system, for practice, and for useful recommendations or conversation starters. I already added my first review prior to this update, and maybe you guys can also use that as judgement for whether or not it is a good idea, and give me some constructive criticism if you would like to see more in the future. And if you would like to see more, please also let me know about things I could write reviews on. The idea to write reviews came to mind because I had been reading reviews earlier that gave me the desire to write my own, and had ideas for a review if I were to write one on the topic. It is also for practice for writing in general, and because I've been considering writing for the school newspaper when I'm in HS.

Another request: I have a question for anyone to answer...
Question: Do you guys think it would help much if I played hard to get slightly with my guy friend? It's been a while since he was the one to IM first, and I want him to start a conversation, so I'm thinking if I try ignoring him until he greets me instead of the other way around, it might assist me. What do you guys think?

As usual, I apologize if I got slightly off topic, and for stretching out the update. I know updates aren't supposed to be this long, wait...I have a good idea! Follow me on twitter! My ID is xxBiZarre4xx. But please don't let that stop you from reading, or at least just skimming, through my journals, that is, if you give a damn! xD

It is my pleasure to be reviewing this series' first episode as my first ever anime review.

Yes, that's right. Now, as well as using my journal as a way to update all of my watchers, I will use it as a review system. I might choose to review a book/book series, an anime series, a television series, a movie, a restaurant, a song, a product, or anything else. This is for my practice, and for recommendations to other users.

Now, to get on with the actual review, I'll begin by dubbing this series as interesting and tasteful. Since I have only watched the first episode, of course this is not how I believe the series is to be in its entirety, but rather how its first episode was. I first came across this series while watching a music video on YouTube, and seeing an anime button that read something along the lines of "Anime on YouTube!". Being an avid anime fanatic, I clicked on the button right away, and started looking through the collection of anime series'. Before being introduced to Ghost Hunt, I started to watch the first episode of Full Metal Alchemist, but got bored with the series (not because the series itself was boring, but because it didn't interest me enough to keep me focused on watching it all the way through, just to calm all of the FMA supporters out there!), so I went back to the list of animes, saw Ouran High School Host Club, and went to the list of episodes there, because I have been meaning to watch the series for a while now. Upon being disappointed to find out that the first episode was not available, and not wanting to be infuriatingly confused by watching the second episode of OHSHC before the first, I scrolled through the list of animes to the episodes, and saw Ghost Hunt at the bottom. Being a believer in paranormal activities and events (as well as getting excited over stories of such topics), I immediately went to the list of episodes, and clicked on the link for the first episode (looking back now, I wish I would have had some popcorn to munch on while watching this thrilling first episode of a series that's beginning to look amazing...). I propped up my pillow until it felt most comfortable, and nuzzled into my blanket as I patiently awaited through an advert, for the episode to start.

As it opened up with teenaged schoolgirls telling ghost stories, I had my eyes and ears open, intently focused on the video. Since it was subtitled, I had to focus on reading, as well as watching. Sometime during another advert that ran through the middle of the episode, I paused to respond to my friend on Gmail chat, signed off of Gmail, and went back to the YouTube tab to focus my attention solely on the video.

It's an absolutely splendid series, not only for the fact that it has to do with paranormal subjects, but for its ability to keep the viewers watching with suspense at every turn. However, like all things on this planet, it can't all be fine and dandy. Along with its perks, there are some downsides to the series. From what I have analyzed in episode one, this series has too much interaction between an overflow of characters. In time I will discover whether this negative will hold out as a negative, or turn out to be a positive, as it could either make for a confusing read, or prove to be good for the series because it adds interest.

I won't give much away about the entire episode, for people who would like to watch to find out, however, I do recommend this series to anyone who possesses the same passion for ghost thrillers as I.

As for my rating, I give this series a 5/5, aside from the negative characteristics it has, such as too much social interaction at some points (I had to pause and go back a couple of times to take in what everybody said), and too many characters, which can make for a confusing series to follow along to.

Can't wait to watch the next episode later today, once I'm well rested! ☺
