Dear Diary,

I am... SO TIRED! >__< This Halloween was the first that I didn't put any effort into dressing up or decorating or whatever. But that's okay... I spent the night with my friends catching up and having fun. We ate junk food and stayed out late. All in all... it was a good time. Also... 0__0 I finally finished the poem I've been writing for CBC radio. There was this writer's contest on CBC for young/amateur writers to submit their short stories/poems to get published. My mother has been bugging me to enter, so... I finally decided to get going and write something. Little did I know that the poem in question had to be at least 1000 words in length! 0__0 I know that doesn't seem long... but... I can assure you... it is! To prove it to you... I did a word count, and I recorded 100 verses! T__T That is TOO MANY!!! >__> These radio people are insane. What kind of poem has over 1000 words? >__> Seriously? Anyways... that wouldn't have been a problem if I didn't decide to so a structured, rhyming ballad. I did a poem made up of 100, 4 line verses that had 4 syllables per line. Also... I restricted the rhyming key to only the 2nd and 4th line of every verse. T__T Why did I make my life so hard? WHYYY???

On a different note, my brother is the origin of all things evil. The last time he told me a chapter was updated on onemanga.com, it was Fullmetal Alchemist. We all know how THAT turned out... >__> Completely ruined my day. This time... he tells me that Naruto has been updated online... so of course I immediately go to check it out. It had such a promising chapter title too... I was SO optimistic and naive. I needed a pick me upper to get me going for the day... so I silently thanked Masashi Kishimoto (the creator of the series) and started reading my beloved Naruto right away. This chapter didn't have much action... but... it was VERY conclusive. I was so hopeful and even yelled at my computer screen in triumph! However... I soon discovered something very disturbing about the path said chapter was taking me. T__T In short, Naruto chapter 469 did NOT lift my spirits... instead it made me VERY angry and confirmed for me that some characters need to DIE!!! (And may I just say... that I KNEW IT!!!) >__<. I knew ALL ALONG THAT SAKURA WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON!!! WHY??? WHY!!!??? Masashi Kishimoto!!! You need to stop that! With all the loose ties and unfinished character development!!! Well... at least it only takes a week for the chapter updates. ^__-
