i tot i'd stop writing anything into this place anymore since i've decided to close shop for a year or 2 at the very least.. it'd b the most surprising to me i think to haf actually taken up the pen again or in this case to lay my hands on the keyboard on this webpage again within even half a month of declaring inactivity.. of coz if its realli inactivity that i'd count for it'd b abt more than a month or so but oh wells.. i shld stop talking about my re entry of blog space..
firstly i'd like to say that i realli did consider about whether i'd want to write things down here or simply juz open a new notepad file n write wat i wanted to write down.. how i feel at this point of time.. but in the end i chose to write it here.. its probably coz i want pple to noe how i feel.. but yet its onli the pple who arent around me most of the time.. mainly those who wun b appearing in front of me in real life.. that wld noe of these things.. but yet i'd not noe the reason y i want others to noe.. i want response to it? i want to make myself more sociable? more connect able? i dunno.. n i guess i've not been into the main subject as yet..
basically i've been quite addicted to the comic ' school rumble '.. actually my first contact of this story was from watching the chinese dubbed anime on scv.. den i tot the characters were realli quite pretty.. or was it some other reasons.. mainly being it a school class setting.. that attracted me to want to draw them down myself.. im not particularly good at drawing or any form of art for that matter.. but i juz had this impulse of doing it.. n so i smsed my fren wp askin if he had this comic book... i guess i expected him to haf it thats y i asked him in the first place.. but i was ready to accept setback as well.. but eventually i found that he had 3 books of it.. n cld lend me 2 of them almost immediately.. i got the 2 books off from him the same evening.. that was probably a week ago.. or mayb less than that..
i started drawing or trying to draw the characters down.. conveniently i had the time n a small notebook of sorts that had lineless pages juz nice for me to do my drawing.. n went down to work on the characters.. i started pretty badly i suppose.. but slowly i managed to make my products look human n slowly after about 10 or more, i managed to come up wif one that wld probably resemble the actual drawn character by about 70%.. i hope im not overestimating but anyway i guess thats not realli the point anyway.. i wonder why i talked so much about drawing them anyway.. its not even the point i wanted to talk about.. i guess i juz wanted pple to ask me how my products look like n they wld ask to c them.. n den praise me for my work.. ha.. i guess im that kinda person.. i wonder if evryone is like that.. becoz sometimes that kinda personality makes me feel sad.. makes me pity myself.. kinda like a loser of sorts.. but yet at times i'd c some comic characters who r absolute losers but yet in some point of time they'd become useful.. even for juz one event.. i'd hope i'd b useful to pple too..
which probably brings me back to my point of writing another entry.. i guess im kinda long winded but i guess i haf the rite to do so on my so called property eh..
anyway after my craze of wanting to draw, i realised that i cldnt resist juz having read 2 of the books n chasing after the 7pm time slot to watch one chapter of the story which is onli 20 minutes.. so i went online to read the online manga of it.. luckily the online manga has available up to 200 over chapters.. n so i started reading them.. im up to chapter 84 which is volume 6 alreadi.. but i keep pulling myself back.. i dun wanna read them too quickly.. becoz i tot i'd probably wanna buy the entire comic collection n so din wanna spoil the story if i did buy it.. but i still cldnt resist n started to read one volume a day or so.. sometimes more than that..but y do i haf such a lethal attraction to this particular series? probably its providence that allowed the series to catch my attention.. the anime shown on scv is alreadi into the 2nd season.. its shown the first season b4 but i din care about it.. so y now.. mayb bcoz i've changed i dunno.. i cant realli think of any other reason.. but the thing about the series itself that attracts me is the fact that the story is that of a school classroom setting if i havent alreadi introduced it that way..
i muz emphasize that its not about being a SCHOOL.. but a CLASSROOM.. i've missed those kinda life since i was 6 mths into jc life or mayb even earlier.. having a classroom to go to.. to stay in.. thats the kind of life that wld probably make school school.. its such an amazing place but i've nv cared for it when i was in it.. i guess thats human to noe to cherish onli after losing it..
but i've come to realise that having a classroom to go to b4 school starts.. to stay in during break times or even in between lessons.. its such a wonderful feeling.. becoz everyone is there.. the entire classroom belongs to the entire class.. so the interaction is definitely there.. be it forced to do so or on one's own will..
n so y wld school rumble b much of anything to me.. its coz the classroom of the protagonists.. it belongs to such a diverse set of pple.. the variety of personalities coming together.. everyone feels differently towards each other.. but yet at the same time there r juz some pple who seem to b kind to evryone.. mayb its that kind of innocence that makes me love the classroom environment now more than ever.. mayb in reality there wun b such innocence n pure love of frenship.. thats y the fantasy realm of comics n such wld pose more of a recluse to me than the reality itself.. or it cld possibly b juz myself.. but in the comics world there r so much more possibilities.. besides the fact that fights can ensue all of a sudden n despite being beaten up badly one way or another the person gets back almost straightaway.. the fact that the characters arent bound by any real rules or laws makes almost a paradise.. or mayb its my own delusion or the fact that i was from a more famous school den a neighbourhood one that i'd found myself restricted to many things that i'd probably wld haf done if i met all these amazing pple in my class.. if i was to b in this world of school rumble.. i'd probably b harima's henchman, join the grp of 4 girls-- tenma, eri, mikoto n akira.. n lots more that i cld haf done.. i suppose theres many many reasons y i'd want to b in that world.. thats y it attracts me so.. ha..
anyway i realise that i still haf alot to talk about.. about the comic n story itself.. n juz by introducing the characters n my tots n opinions on them n the events that occur around them wld probably allow me to fill another 10 or so entries into this blog.. so i suppose a closure has its breaks as well eh.. i'l stop here for now i guess..
