Transcendence

  Hi there! Yay, another eager staff member. <3

Welcome to Transcendence! : )

Ah, I just remembered another event I regret.

Back when I was in middle school, I would always help my friends with their "relationship" problems. I would stay on Aim/Yahoo IM for hours just to give out suggestions on what they could do, or console them, telling them that nothing was wrong with them, that it was always the boys' fault for not noticing their "efforts".

It got to the point where me and my friends would stay up chatting until midnight or past then. I was so involved with their social lives that I messed up my priorities and put them first over my school work/academics. My grades started slipping, especially in Geometry, dear god, math always goes down first, and I was confused as hell. I didn't want to blame my friends for their problems, but I hated the fact that I was so wrapped up and that I couldn't just tell them good luck and cut them out of my life.

Later on that year, I had to take a test so I could go to a better highschool, with some sort of special IB program. Obviously, I failed and wasn't accepted, and I was pretty mad at myself for quite a while.  A looong while.  x_x My parents were disappointed too, and that killed me.

So, cheesy life lesson - friends are important, but you have to know your limit when it becomes really obvious that they're influencing you in a bad way.

LOL. It depends if I still remember any of it.

I took French 1 and 2 wayy back in 7th and 8th grade. I'm not sure I even remember the conjugation forms. 

  Hi Lotti!

Lol, I wish our club had done Japanese lessons too. That sounds pretty awesome. We have a japanese member who'se fluent in the language but she refuses to teach the club the language firsthand. Right now, my school's anime club leaders are currently trying to research on different Japanese cultures to teach to the club to make it a more "educational" environment.

Blech. 

Love the manga idea, btw.  : )

Aw, Shiki. <3 That sounds so..tragic.

&& your moral reminds me of something pretty similar that happened to me too.

I remember back in 3rd grade, there was a girl my class used to tease. She was basically always isolated and people would often give her rude remarks on whatever she did. There was a lot of degrading going on - it was pretty cruel, now that I think back on it.
She passed away 2 summers ago. Of course, I regret what I did before she died, but I never brought it up since I was pretty ashamed. I even tried to forget it even happened as I got to know her better. .___. 

:/ It's hard to live life with no regrets. But I totally agree - you never know when it's too late.

^^ If it goes great, you can even sell the calenders, since they're the product of the students themselves.

You just need to find a sponsor willing to host the club who can help you with that.

Best of luck!

Lol, speaking about country songs, what about Taylor Swift?

She's a big hit nowadays.

Ah, and you can't forget Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA". 

Lol. American Songs.

:) Beyonce/Mariah Carey/Owl City/Paramore?

  I just sent in my practice sheets to Xye too.

Rather nervous.

:] Thanks Iteza.

Ummm. Classes? Lol, my classes are booked up with academic classes. No slot for art.
I taught myself by doodling in class. 

Glad you like my art.

  Oh, no no. There's nothing to feel weird about - we all have different tastes. ^^

I feel like I'm the old one liking classical music and whatnot. 

Besides J-rock, what else do you like listening to?

Ehh. I'm not really knowledgable when it comes to music that isn't classical. /shot

But I do recommend Taeyang's Wedding Dress/ Big Bang's Haru Haru/ Yuna Ito/ ...BoA? Lol, I feel so out of date with the last two.

^^ The piano portions of the first two are amazing; just saying. 

Okay, now this one is just silly.
I've noticed the weird proportions this artist does too; I just never actually put that much thought into it.
It really is just the plot that keeps me going. I remember being irritated by the side/profile views she's done lately in the series.
Maybe it's just me.

:D Ahh. I'm glad Transcendence picked this up too.

ChibiHeaven's right. It's one of those light/fluff shojos. I'd recommend Hug/Kiss (since it's also adorable and the guy's a bishie) and it's complete (if you hate waiting for chapters like I do).
I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Awww. That's so..funky!

Haha, did the author do this for humor purposes, or is that the author's style?

(scared to laught if it's the latter one)

  The world's already messed up; what could a few more yous do?

Train pokemon?

  Ah. I wish more people were like you.

Yaoi eh?

Lolol. And overwhelmed by girls? That's not necessarily a bad thing! 

And RnAoDm, don't be so pesstimistic. I'm sure it looks great. 

  Ah. I'm so used to using centertag, it never occurred to me that there'd be people who dun like it.

Sorry!

8D And thanks! Happy to be here.
