Teen Titans

For those who are older, you know the Teen Titans Original comic characters. Unfortunately, I only found out about them through Cartoon Network's cartoon/anime version of it. To say the least, I really loved Teen Titans. Who doesn't want to be a superhero?? 9th grade was a definite teen titans school year. haha~

After following the tv series, I fell in love with the character Raven. I was able to relate to her in so many ways that I didn't feel alone. 2003 (9th grade) was a really rough year for me. Finding out who I am and who I wanted to be was quite a frightening experience. I've come to find out who were my true friends and found out those who just back-stabbed me when they found out I was a bit "different." Family breaking apart. Hate. Just darkness.

So Raven was my outlet. Someone who I can release my pressure to by just watching her on tv being her stubborn dark self. XD And I really liked Beastboy, the happy-go-lucky guy. Reason? He brought her joy when no one else seemed to want to reach out to her. He's silly and bright and bubbley. It was then that I said, "My future boyfriend better be someone silly like him. So he can bring light into the shadows to find me."

After gaining a lot of knowledge about this show, I began to right fan fictions. I posted them at Fanfiction.net. I had a few followers and fans of my work, but as I got busier with school life - I stopped updating the story. (sad, yes) Through this website, I met this guy named Xavier. He was similar to me and we related in many ways. I just felt like we had this connection.

Unfortunately our friendship came to a sudden halt. His family wasn't doing to well financially and he had to move around to another state. And then to another state. All together he stops writing his stories like me. And he slowly disappears from logging on to chat. I was somewhat devastated when someone who I could relate to was... gone.

After that, I continued to do the normal everyday tasks. Did "dress-up" of Raven. I say dress-up since I didn't know cosplay back then. Created a Xanga to find people that I could relate to. And towards the end of 2003, things seemed to perk up. ^^ (only a little bit)

Blah~ the story continues and... another anime hits cartoon network: Code Lyoko.
