Last monday I got back from my trip to Canada. I went there from August 1rst until September 7th to visit my bf, =Tsaalyo.

It was an awesome trip.

If anyone is interested in pictures from the trip, I redirect you to this forum thread: [link]

I love my smexy Sale!

Last wednesday I went to see Up (finally), and I must say...

OMG I LOVED IT!!!

Seriously I wonder if Pixar is ever gonna come up with a movie that I don't like. Up was absolutely adorable, although also, I gotta say... REALLY sad! Well that's the classic Disney style, making everybody cry at the utter misery the characters must experience at some point during the movie (omg The Lion King anyone?).

Another thing I really loved was how the story was set in Venezuela. Like, OMG? (I loved when the name "Venezuela" showed on the screen a couple of times, when Carl was holding the plane tickets).

When I first heard about that I couldn't believe the writters had actually chosen Venezuela! My shock was even greater when I found out they had visited the country like, back in 2004 to study everything and sketch and stuff... They based the movie's fictional "Paradise Falls" on Angel Falls, which are located at Canaima National Park in Venezuela. My goodness, actual Pixar people visited Venezuela! *passes out*.

I have always wanted to visit Angel Falls and now I can even more reasons to go, lol

Also, Kevin the bird is my fave character from the movie. Just TOO ADORABLE! *cuddles*

You have done it again Pixar, Masters of Storytelling. You have created another fantastic movie!

Teh OMG! My friend was so kind of drawing this uber adorable drawing for me:



It's Tsaalyo and me. Yaaaaay! It is teh love!

Smexy Sale wearing beach clothes ^____^ yummy xD

Thanks a lot for drawing this to me Heather! I absolutely adore it! *glomps*

I usually don’t give a rat’s ass about the people at my university other than close friends... but I thought these two situations were worth sharing... mostly to point out why the majority of the “cool” popular kids are total pricks. Oh well.

So here are the facts: I share a certain class with a group of 5 people. One of them is another girl, and the remaining 4 people are guys. Now... these are not just “guys”. They belong to that annoying lot that is often referred as “the popular, cool” kids in the highschool/college lingo... Geeze I’m not even sure if “ popular ” describes it properly. In hopes that you can understand better what kind of person these individuals are, they can pretty much be described as:
- They’re generally irresponsible, always late for class and never worry about getting things done in time.
- They like to party a lot, get drunk as often as possible, smoke a lot, swear a lot when talking and pretty much love being loud and obnoxious.
- They call you a lot to ask stuff like: “What did the Prof. want us to study for tomorrow?”, “When is the next exam?”, “Can I borrow your class notes?”
- They believe they’re the most awesome, cool, amusing and entertaining people in the world... that all the girls love them and every single mortal just yearns for their friendship.

So, for short... Joy, JUST the kind of person you want to be friends with...

And here is what happened:

Scenario 1:

Last Friday. It was the day that the new Disney/Pixar movie “Up” premiered where I live. Right before class, comments about the movie were brought into the conversation and one of the guys (who is probably the less annoying one) said that he could actually watch it, since it seemed interesting. That was when the rest of the guys ripped him off by saying stuff like “Are you gay?? Why would I ever want to see such a gay, stupid, retarded movie about a old fag pedophile and a retarded kid who go around floating on balloons like they’re on drugs or something!!??” to which the first guy replies “dude, chill... I was just saying I wouldn’t mind watching it... the Pixar movies are pretty cool, did you ever watch The Incredibles?”. Sadily, his reply was countered with “STOP BEING SUCH A FAG! THOSE MOVIES SUCK!”



Seriously, it’s fine if you dislike a movie... but you don’t have to insult the person who thinks the movie is ok I thought of giving my opinion at some point... but then I realized it would be a total waste of my saliva... so I didn’t.


Scenario 2:

Probably a lot more disgusting that last Friday’s. This happened today.
During the break between two classes, the aforementioned class group goes to the nearby cafeteria to wait for the next class. I had nothing better to do, so I went along and sat in the same table (I could feel my lung cancer growing bigger by each cigarette that was smoked at the table... gee, being a passive smoker is the worst kind of disgrace that can happen to a normal, non-addicted person *sigh*).
So at some point, the other girl – who can be considered as “ popular ” too but is a lot nicer and actually a good person, waves her hand to greet some other classmate that was passing by.
Then one of the guys immediately makes what I think is one of the cruelest statements ever: “Wait a second... why is it that you must always greet the most unknown and unimportant people from our year? Like... WHO knows that guy? I’ve been studying for 5 years here... and do you think I even know him? LOL for a second I thought he was from a different school. Mwahahaaaaahha! Have you ever noticed you do this all the time? It’s like... I see this fat, short guy with thick glasses walking, and besides him, there is another girl just as ugly as him... and then you see them and greet them. I bet that’s the highest point in their lives! *doing a cheap parody* “oooohhh I’m so happy cause _______ said hi to me! A pretty girl said hi to me!” Seriously I think they wake up every day thinking their day is worth living cause someone cool may say hi to them that day! MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!”

At this point... I was seriously disgusted.

Like, you know, I thought those stereotypes were... well, you know STEREOTYPES maybe? But now I realize there are true asses out there...

No wonder I would never, EVER date a person as hollow and crappy like that. Geeks FTW, cause I have yet to see a geek that is as mean as those jackasses are. X_x

It's been almost two years since the last Kim Possible episode "Graduation" aired for the first time on Disney Channel. Two years sound like quite a bit of time, huh? So, that really had me thinking... is the show really that over?

I felt like going back in time and remember a bit how I first got into the KP fandom. I remember the first contact I ever had with anything KP was when in December of year 2002, during one of my trips to USA I was reading a Disney's Adventure magazine and came across and advertisement for the KP game for Game Boy "Revenge of Monkey Fist".

Lol I clearly remember myself thinking stuff like "Hmmmm, she's kind of a crime-fighter girl... lol funny-looking monkey guy... and what is this bald rat thing? (lol Rufus)". So yeah, what could I possibly know then?.

Then, next christmas we travelled again to USA (December 2003)and my sister watched her first KP episode ever "A Very Possible Christmas". Lol and when she told me how awesome the show was, it was then my interest sparkled. On the same trip, again I found myself looking to another one of those Disney's Adventures magazines. This time the magazine had a KP comic... with DRAKKEN on it! yay! Of course, I didn't even know what his name was until I read the comic... and thought he was cool. (lol it was just a comic!)

Soon after that, around February 2004 I caught a KP marathon on Latin American Disney Channel, that ended with the premiere of the KP movie "A Sitch in Time". Needless to say, I was absolutely hooked with KP after this.

I started looking for info online, and progressively found out about the online KP fandom. I joined my first KP related forum ever, The Drakken's Crib website's forum around year 2004, I think. The forum and website are no longer active. What a shame, I had lots of fun in there... and omg, for the first time I realized that I wasn't the only random, insane person in the world who loved a cartoon THIS much and thought the main villain character was hot! lmao!

I also joined DeviantART (lol kind of obvious, as you read this) and the world of KP fanart showed to myself in its most absolute glory! How thankfull I am for that. ^___^

Afterwards, I joined the forum of RonStoppable.net, which probably was the most popular KP forum at the time. (Current profile: [link] )
After Drakken's Crib forum closed, I started to spend more time at RS.net. Then more stuff like the "first" ending of the show came (when the 3rd season was over), and then the fans winning over the 65-episode policy... which led us to the 4th season.

And here we are.

So, since year 2002, when I first saw Kim on a magazine until September 2007, when the very last episode aired... It's been five years, wow.

Nowadays, the activity within the KP fandom has dropped noticeably. A lot of fans and friends I used to know are gone or have moved on to different things. I guess it's the natural behaviour of this kind of thing, once the show is officially over. However I wonder... what makes the REAL fan? A lot of people lost interest after the 3rd season... and not even a 4th season could bring them back. On the other hand, I have seen other cartoon fandoms that still go on today, even if the show in question was cancelled or ended a long time ago. However, fans from those kind of fandoms insist they have downgraded to a miserable state that has nothing to do with what the fandom used to be years before.

I guess it's what it will eventually happen to the Kim Possible fandom itself. People come and go, and only a few remain. Great fanartists never draw a character from the show again, and good fanfics are left unfinished. Forums go inactive, websites eventually stop from being updated, or (even worse) are closed down.

And that, without even going further within the fandom drama that sometimes takes place. Good and bad times, I guess.

I hope a small fraction of the KP fandom will still prevail after time passes. This entry kind of ends up with a sad tone but I had to let those thoughts out of my head.

Long live Kim Possible!
