I'll breathe life into another new blog...

I'm also new to blogs, so I'm just finding my feet right now.

Also, in blogs, I don't think "tl;drs" have a place here. If you want to read a blog, you will and should probably only have the right to reply to one after reading a good amount of it. If you don't read a blog, what right do you have to reply to it? For some reason, I have the feeling that this is the difference between a blog and a thread. So, I don't mind spouting out "mindless shit" over a blog because to the people who think it matters, my message will reach them.

And I agree with these points. They would do well include this sentiment in the rules of NF blogging etiquette.

I think Sai's emotionless personality is what attracts ppl to him imo.

Thanks for the backing on blog etiquette, Ram. I appreciate it.

@LOS: I always thought that part of him was something that a lot of non-fans found unappealing.

Ah a real proper blog entry, as expected from you.

I also like Sai, he's very underrated on these boards.

Some thing can be unattractive to some and appealing to others

Thanks, Bya.

LOS: True. But generally, I think people go for characters with a bit more depth when it comes to personality...but then again I've read a lot over the past year about how Sasuke has a poor personality yet he is still top 5, dead or alive in popularity polls.

In Sasuke's case, people tend to flow to the most popular or badass character with alot of screentime and that personally annoys the hell out of me.

I'm happy to write these. They're a good tool to use if you want to let people know about stuff you want them to know about, and get some reaction from those people at the same time. I think I prefer blogs over getting out messages and receiving feedback through things like sigs and standard threads.

sounds like you're gonna post blog everyday or so, at least every now and then when you want to. I trust that emotional routine of yours.

LOS: That kind of annoys me too. But there's one character, in D.Gray-man called Kanda who is like that, though I like him a lot. Lol...I guess sometimes you can't fight against badassness. I also like Sai because I *think* and *strongly believe* he can match Sasuke in power (or at least the original Sasuke prior to taking over Orochimaru's body). I think if I ever said this in a Library thread I'd get assassinated. Thank God for blogs.

vanh: I'll try to write a blog whenever I feel it's right to. They're fun.

I see, but at least you have a fair respect for the character you like unlike those fantards who have that "SASUKE > YOU", "SASUKE IS GOD", "SASUKE IS BETTER THAN *insert character name*" attitude.

I try to avoid the Library for that reason too, at least in blogs you can vent your own opinion without being judged.

Yea, and without getting a string of neg reps.

I'm trying to get into the Library again, sorta...but, in general, I have little to offer because most of my interest lies in Sai who isn't even around right now. When he gets back though, I'm gonna flood the library! j/k But my activity there should x 10.

I've had no contact with NF outside of the Blender and blogs. I forgot how to make a responsible thread without spamming

But my activity there should x 10.

0 x 10 = 0 ;>

LOS: Damn, that must have reduced you on-topic thread making skills to nothing. Well...hmmm, I don't actually know of a solution to that; I know no reformed spammers.

LOL! vanh...my activity in the Library is actually: 0.999!

I might need to read the FAQ a couple of times before I post a thread to make sure I'm doing it rite.

After seeing your great enthusiasm for Sai, I hope they bring him back into the manga too so I can see his personality/history get developed a bit more and decided if I should dedicated some luff to him.

LOS: There's an FAQ in the Library? Lol...if that's the case, I think I should do the same.

keiiya: I feel like I've achieved something!

I believe there is, although if I return to the library I will need to survey other threads before attempting my own.

If you do make a thread on Sai, I will be sure to comment.

I started really liking Sai in the beginning, but when he changed I sort of started disliking him. Actually, I'm not sure if I actually dislike him as much as I am begrudged to accept that change. I really like how he pissed off Naruto and Sakura by insulting them. His naiveness is amusing, but I just missed how pissy he made people.

I don't necessarily consider him a mistake as I consider his character shift a mistake. Then again, Neji changed just as fast, but Sai is a main character now. Anyway, what I think Kishimoto needs to do is actually put more Sai in it so he can continue to grow, or leave him out entirely.

The library FAQ is a thousand years outdated. I've always been meaning to rewrite it, but never did. And now I'm retired so it's someone elses problem :3

LOS: Thanks, man. Be careful of what you survey; there is good and there is bad...I've seen quite a bit of junk in there too.

Splintered: Can I ask, did you think he was a she at first?

I think your suggestion about putting more Sai in the manga is a good one, naturally. I think that Kishimoto shouldn't even get the privilege of having a choice when it comes to this.

I must say though, I was/am in favour of his shift. True, it could've possibly been handled better. However, I feel that his shift is incomplete and he still has a bit more change to go through. Naruto and bonds having completely won him over yet, I'd say. It should be at least a bit more complicated than what happened back then.

P.S. Great avy.
