I'm one of those weird people who like reading the ending movie credits. Mostly because I like seeing all the different names people have. Specifically the last names because I don't know many last names. I like watching the credits for a few minutes or so and finding my favorite last name. I like looking for ones that I think are funny or cool. hard to pronounce or figuring out their ethnic origin.
I think I like looking at the names because it helps coming up with characters for stories. I always have trouble with the name part of writing.
I have yet to find a friend who shares this same interest. Haha. I don't know why, but it makes me feel kind of lonely. Because I'll watch a movie with a friend, share my favorite, and watch them just walk away. Plus, the theater is dark and playing the ending music, so it adds to the lonely effect.

Cozy Lil'
My family has the odd habit of liking to name inanimate objects ^ ^;;.
For example, my family names our stuff animals, computer, printer, car, and etc. So it makes sense that we'd name our very own house right? XD lol. Yeah it was so strange. We were eating, when my dad randomly brought it up.
Flashback
Dad: You know, in cartoons you see the characters name their house.
Me: Really? How so?
Dad: Well, in the Pig cartoon (Toot and Puddle), call their place pocket hollow.
Me: ...no...that's what their neighborhood like thing is called.
Dad: hmph..well, they do in that Bug show (Miss. Spider's sunny patch friends).
Me: Oh, yea? Then what's it called?
Dad: I don't know. C-c-c-co-co-zy! Cozy! Cozy something...
Ma: they call their home Cozy Hole.
Dad: Yea! That's it!
Me: -.-;; okay... so what's your point?
Dad: We should name our house too :D
Me: that sounds like..erm..fun(?)
End of Flashback
Okay, so then my dad went on about what to name it, and kept mumbling ideas to himself. We all finished eating before he could think of something. Forgetting about the subject, we all went back to our computers (we each have our own xD we're computer geeks :P). Suddenly, my dad came into the room and shouted "I got it!" My sister, Ma. didn't hear him because she always wears headphones. >.> I swear that woman wouldn't even notice the house on fire when she's wearing those things. I wear headphones too, but I keep one ear open just in case something happens. Anyways~ this is how it went:
Dad: I got it! :D
Me: what?
Dad: We should call our home Cozy Compact!!
Me: Cozy Compact? =.=;;
Dad: What you don't like it?
Ma.: er...
Me: It's weird ...
Dad: But it's just like that bug show, our house is cozy. But it's small, so that's why I said "compact."
Me: *scrunches nose in distaste*
Dad: Fine...hm...*thinks persistently*...How about something simpler like Cozy Lil'?
Me: Better :)
Dad: Yeah! It's cute too. Okay, so now our house is called Cozy Lil'. :D
Me and Ma.: Ok whatever. *says in unison and goes back to computer activities*
Dad: hmph, you and you're internet. *walks away to go to his own computer*
xD lolz so yea that's how it basically happened. And if you're curious, we did truthfully name our car and printer.
Printer: Kakashi
I shall tell you the reasoning. Okay, so our printer has the copying option. Meaning we can copy stuff and what not. And Kakashi, form Naruto, has the famous/infamous (?) nick name of.... *lets Naruto fans guess* Copy ninja :D ! lolz xD so yea that's our rather cool/lame name for our Printer. [lolz yes something can be cool and lame at the same time :3]
Car: Bankai
...there really isn't a reason for it. We just thought it sounded cool xD
ps. yea my dad doesn't remember the name of any of the Nick Jr. shows >.> so that's why he kept referring to them with various odd names xD.
haha~ well that's all for today. ^ ^

Just a Bunch of Miscellaneous Information
Well a few things happened that I guess could be interesting.
Yesterday, the UPS dropped off the tablet my dad ordered a few days ago. :D
Yes, I got a new tablet ^ ^ I was pretty excited.
The brand of my tablet was Adesso. I'm not using it for drawing purposes though; more of note taking purposes for class. I'll use it to write my school notes on it, and then afterwards when I get home I upload it into my computer. The reason why the tablet will be useful for school notes is that, it'll translate my notes into computer text. Then I would be able to search through my notes via the computer instead of having to flip through so much paper. Yesterday, I had fun playing around with it. It's pretty cool. Don't ask how much it costs because...I have no clue xD my dad was the one who bought it. But I think it was around $140. Wait...no I think it did cost that much. I remember my dad telling me. Yups. :) $140 including shipping. It's much cheaper compared to wacom (another tablet selling company or brand or something of the sort. and it's kind of expensive from what I hear xD).
And besides the news of the tablet, I'm going to the beach again ^ ^;;
However, this time I'm going with my friends :D so it'll be a little more interesting.
I'm going tomorrow on Saturday :) with Luka-chan and Rin-chan.
Katrina-chan unfortunately couldn't come because her parents wouldn't let her :(
Nyu-san doesn't want to go to the beach. She says she's too busy with tutor homework. But she finishes that quickly. So I think Nyu-san will be embarrassed to have us see her in her bathing suit. xD thus, I didn't push her to come.
Also, I'm going to get a little Exia figure :)
My dad's buying me one. The reason why I'm getting one though is so I can take pictures of it. .. um what I mean by that is I'm going to carry Exia with me, and take pictures of it wherever I go. Thus, I can post more photos on my blog :D the main purpose for this Exia is to substitute for me in photos, since I don't like taking pictures of myself. ^ ^;;
:D but I'm super excited because as you should know, I'm a total Gundam00 fan. So getting Exia figure is so awesome ^ ^ !! Which reminds me, maybe I should show you some pictures of my gundam models :D I got some of them, and actually built like ...3(?) of them myself. :)
My dad says that since I'm going to use and refer to my Exia figure quite often, I should give Exia a unique and personal name (nickname-ish?). The only problem is....I can't think of anything to nickname Exia ^ ^;;.
Which is quite odd, since I can usually come up with names on the spot! I do it all the time while writing in my roleplays. (which btw you should go check out my other blog if you haven't already.)
I was wondering if you (the person reading this blog at the moment) had any ideas for what to nickname Exia. I'd love to hear some ideas :D I won't be getting Exia until a few days...so don't expect cute little Exia pictures just yet. ^ ^;;
