    <lj:music>Angel-tai - Galaxy Bang! Bang!</lj:music>
    <content type="html">It was one of those weeks where more things were going on then you wanted to have. I mean granted all weren't bad and others were just kind of random things, there will still happenings nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually it was one of those really weird weeks where more or less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ｘ My mood was a good reflection of the weather.&lt;br /&gt;〇 The weather was a reflection of my mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was almost terribly too accurate. It's been rainy all week and while regularly I'm pretty happy to have a nice cool, rainy sort of day, it just didn't work. Actually I'm with a lack of a better phrase waiting for something that just isn't happening. More or less I've been bitter about it all week. And beyond that, a really cloudy day with tons of rain on test night/days just doesn't make one feel all that optimistic. But whatever, on Saturday it was sunny in the morning and after certain events transpired (this will be discussed later) it got cloudy and rainy again. I mean seriously? What the heck, it's like the weather is picking up something off of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That aside, pretty early in the week my roommate stopped me before he was heading out to go to class. He told me that his mom would be coming the next weekend and that we should probably get the place cleaned up a bit. I obviously agreed (I've been cleaning the place every so often but I haven't seen my roommate make much of the effort yet) since I would like to have the place a bit cleaner. Anyhow after he left it took awhile before it hit me that this is my roommate's very Japanese mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ハッ！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please. Please. Please. Don't expect me to be talking to your mother in Japanese. Granted the one time we were talking on the phone she spoke to me in English, I will frankly warn my roommate not to tell her that's it's alright to speak in Japanese to me. The internet is easy, I can dig out kanji dictionaries and get help from friends when I can't find the right way to say something but when it comes to talking up front, I can't prepare that. More or less, I'd like to avoid looking like an idiot. Especially since I seem to get really panicky around other people's parents, it's a respect sort of thing, I don't really understand it myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That aside, we also had our first real meeting of Anime Club this week. It was actually pretty optimistic looking to begin with. The new room was arranged and we had space to organize our usual game setup without a hassle. So we figured it would be a good time to pass judgment on new members finally. Safe to say, it was a good reminder of why I hate a lot of people. Actually, I don't know why I bother expecting things out of people sometimes. I gave up on expecting certain things from people (proper Vocaloid knowledge, understanding of what not to say in public, hating things for the right reason). But more or less, it was also a matter of respect. Sure I've only been in club one year but my roommate is a senior now and it felt like most new members weren't even listening when anybody was speaking. Maybe they would pick out words or a sentence but they wouldn't actually listen. Even most of what our Vice President (who is a good friend of ours) didn't seem to get any respect. Why even be an officer if the members won't even heed what you say? More or less my roommate talked about this over dinner that night and decided we had both been nice. But next meeting I'm done being nice and I'll be happily prepared to exploit my "I really am an asshole" status again if need be. I started last year with that and seemed to make good friends so I'll just see who breaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, I decided finally even before the meeting that I was going to try and go through with my plans of starting that Vocaloid Blog I said I would start last year. I don't know what sparked it and I'm pretty sure my name is so dead now that nobody will read it without me doing some form of PR (hahaha, yeah right). That aside, when I started listening to things I figured more or less it would just be good for me to be writing articles again. If not to clear ideas from my brain, then to improve my literacy again, and maybe meet someone who has a proper understanding of things eventually (hahaha, again, yeah right).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for unimportant news to most people, my new favorite anime "Surumeika" finally ended it's first season at twelve episodes, with a announcement of a "powered up" second season coming soon. More or less, I'll be waiting and I'm only upset that the DVDs will probably be released at Comiket only. Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That and the location tests for BlazBlue: Continuum Shift were this weekend. I think it's been a long time since I spent so much time on 2ch but there was plenty of news to absorb about it. I probably cried a bit reading some of it but what are you going to do. The same sort of huge changes happened with Guilty Gear so not surprising seeing BlazBlue characters going through the same giant overhauls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No more exams until next week but they're both probably my least studied subjects. And I don't even want to see the results of my two exams this week, thinking back to the mood I took both of them in. Here's looking up to this week...at least I hope so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and listening to GA music makes me feel incredibly nostalgic, even Rune's opening. I guess it all was awhile back now that I think about it.</content>

    <category term="death soup"/>
    <content type="html">I really do wonder if my roommate is used to eating FOOD sometimes. You know, like...actual food. So all day I was thinking about dinner actually. Mostly because all I got for lunch was a sandwich (my roommate evidently went out and ate out, totally without telling me). Either way I was well aware that we didn't have any actual food in the house aside from some microwaveable soup and some ramen. Oh and lunch meat for more sandwiches I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way I figured after seeing a few vegetables I would finely chop some of the carrots we had left and some frozen broccoli we've had forever and throw it in an omelet. Sounded simple enough. So when I went to go boil up the carrots and broccoli, my roommate passed by and asked what I was planning on making. Evidently it was in his mind that I was making soup which would have made sense if we have ANY FORM OF STOCK FOR SOUP. Unfortunately I'm not a magician and I can't turn water into soup stock, I even brought this up with him but he still insisted on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I posed the question to him, he mentioned we still had some red miso left. I asked if he was kidding and he said nothing of the sort. So I decided to play along and he mentioned I could use the rest of the frozen corn and peas that were in the freezer. Ugh. This was a joke...not meant to be real. So in an attempt to add something that would actually taste good, I defrosted the bacon quickly and chopped up four strips or so to add to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More or less after cooking it, I had a real hard time eating it. Go figure, the bacon was the only thing that mildly went well in it. The rest just kind of...made me want to cry. Of course when I brought this up with my roommate he appeared to have no complaints in eating it. You know, I KNOW when something is terrible. There's no reason to joke around with me. In fact it made me just worry about my roommate's sense of taste/feel worse about the entire situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There also was some left after we ate which is now sitting in the refrigerator. I have a 99.9% feeling that it will start moving later tonight and kill me in my sleep. If not it'll just give me stomach cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really look forward to shopping this weekend and buying actual things to cook. On account of all the simple things I've prepared so far, I'm really ready to cook. Grilled steak, roast chicken, this is less about my roommate but more cooking something that I'll be able to feel happy about.</content>

    <title>Likkun's Dream C Club （笑） Meme (嘘）</title>

    <category term="the longest thing i&amp;apos;ll ever write about"/>
    <lj:music>Donishima - Just Be Friends</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So I was having a conversation with the usual chuckle bunch and it was just one of those times where you're just casually talking with people. Somehow we got on a simple conversation for once and everybody was shocked to hear about some of the normal things about me, like favorite food for example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it was determined from that point that maybe when people learn stuff about me it's not the normal things. I guess I never bother to talk about things like this because they're silly or pointless but anytime it comes up there's some huge fuss over it. Perhaps I'm not human enough to people yet or something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So either way, we decided that we would have the most simple conversation possible. I called it a cross gender Dream Club but everybody shunned me since I'm obviously the only one playing it in that circle. To me it seemed better in this sense since I really hate just filling in forms with interests since it seems so unnatural. But there's something about answering questions like this up front that the answers are all really natural that and you have an actual conversation concerning them such as, the why as it were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If some of these questions seem odd it could be because we got asking weird questions or I just translated things awkwardly. Oh and we were going to just do a simple "What do you like?" sort of thing but it seemed boring after awhile so we started stealing questions from other places. Answers are long because, like I said, this was a conversation or almost interview rather then simple minded one word dribble. And if you want to answer some of these questions yourself then be my guest, technically these are all taken from baton pass sort of things anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's the origin of your online nickname?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never get this asked often enough because everybody calls me something different. But actually before anything else, but actually some people are aware of my old AIM handle ShadowLink. I had that name for a pretty long time but after awhile I started shortening it to Link for the sake of keeping things simple. Once I started using that, my older sister shortened it to Likkun for some reason. After I put that as my handle in a lot of places, friends started shortening it to Lik and on 2ch the characters would obviously lead people to do the same. I think once I read the characters at 2ch, I started listing my name as Leek as it were. A little after that is when I started my whole English tutoring thing and the Sensei got thrown in at the end. Plus my all around nature let it get attached even by people who weren't actual students just because they thought it was fitting. But I still hear Likkun, Leek, and sometimes Link from different circles of friends to be honest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite color?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Navy blue or some derivation of a midnight blue. But otherwise in general I'm rather fond of a lot of bright colors. As far as a single favorite color goes though it's that, probably because of the night sky and all that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite genre of music?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've learned to appreciate about everything. Jazz is probably my favorite though. To me it always gives sound a certain type of class and style that nothing else can match. When someone puts together a great jazz piece and you manage to stack the right type of singer to compliment it, it sends chills down your spine. Plus it always reminds me of those cool bar scenes with a jazz band playing in the back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What type of natural scenery do you enjoy?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scenery, huh. I think at some point I really liked the beach scene a lot. But after taking a trip up to Yosemite (despite the trauma) I really feel in love with waterfalls. I remember one we looked at was just a picture perfect shot and felt incredibly majestic. Of course the scale on that was huge which is why I enjoyed it so much. If not that, then just really calm, small flowing rivers to contrast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What location do you enjoy visiting the most?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lake where I can fish! I really hate being in bustled places and I'm incredibly relaxed when I'm out somewhere quiet fishing. I remember the more recent times when I started going with my Dad I would just lay on my back and almost fall asleep. I think that's the most relaxed I ever felt in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite saying/proverb/etc.?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value." So yeah it's Albert Einstein and I'm studying Physics...shut up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite drink?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It always makes me sound like a little kid, but apple juice. Even better when it comes in a juice box. I'll drink a lot of types of juice but nothing quite stacks up as great to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite vegetable?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Potatoes. Potatoes. Potatoes.&lt;br /&gt;If I had the time to do so, I'd have some variation with every meal. I don't even know where my love for them stems from anymore but nothing beats them....ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite fruit?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm....lychee. I remember when we traveled to New York, my mom bought me a ton of fresh lychee fruit when she saw it. Once we got back to the hotel that night, I sat down and pretty much ate all of them in one go. Granted I haven't gotten them fresh since, it's hard to forget. But if you make me something I can get more readily, it'd be pineapple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What you you dislike eating?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the most part, fish I would say. I am a Pisces after all which is no excuse but unless it's prepared in certain ways I have certain grievances about eating it. If not then I'm the same about mushrooms, I certainly just can't eat them like other people do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any type of coffee ice cream. Don't put anything in it, just make it a solid flavor. Particularly, the Jamoca they have at Baskin Robbins is supreme to me. In general I tend to like solid flavors though, like Mint ice cream without the chocolate chips thrown in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite type of candy?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caramel. Toffee. Either is good. I'll eat a whole bag if you give it to me and don't manage to take it away in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite time of the day?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early night, just when you can start seeing the stars. I remember in my room my desk faced out the window and you could see the moon perfectly from it. It was my favorite time to be working on something there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite day of the week?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During school, Saturdays. It's when I hang out with friends for extended periods of time. During summer, Mondays. I love starting a week fresh by getting up and trying to set a good tone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite season?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fall. The weather cools down perfectly and everything feels really relaxed at that point. Plus there's always that occasional rain that kind of slows down the world a bit and feels really soothing. Hanami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite holiday?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a tough choice I think but I'd probably pick Christmas. Mostly because I really think that time of the year is pretty appealing, that and it gives me an excuse to spend large amounts of money on other people without them complaining. I know a lot of people have their complaints about it but you'll find me in my best mood most likely around that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your favorite movie?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It's another childish flag sort of thing, huh? That the case or not, I can nearly act out the entire movie if you let me. Gene Wilder is probably how I picture Willy Wonka now on whenever I read the book and I'll probably go into hiding for awhile when he dies. *knock knock*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's you favorite anime opening?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has to be Catch You Catch Me. Aside from being the anime closest to me, I still admit that CCS has one of the best openings, if not the best ever. I think of everything I listen to nothing stacks up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What type of person do you dislike?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone who deliberately strives to be better then other people. I really don't care that you went that much farther then me, actually I don't mind when people are better then me. I mean if they're modest and just kind of don't brag profusely about their triumphs then I respect them. But when someone just needs to go on about how they somehow are one up on you in some trivial way it bothers me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What type of girl do you like?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I know. Everybody after this is going to say, "Yep, he really is a lolicon!" sort of thing. Whatever. I'm going to be honest though and admit that it would have to be a girl who's really innocent and needs to be protected. Girls like that really really get to me. If not then just someone who knows how to counteract me as a person. You know like a straight man (well woman) sort of thing. It's kind of lame when a guy just knocks you in line but when a girl does it to me and kind of puts me in my place it's a lot more fun. And that's totally not a ドＭ flag either. Oh, and definitely a girl that enjoys/can/doesn't mind singing. They don't have to be amazing but I think it's something I tend to look for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What do you want most in the world?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little sister~&lt;br /&gt;Every since junior high - high school hit I wanted one. I think at that point I started entering where I am now where I really wanted to look out and protect someone close. I think having a little sister running around yelling, "Big brother, big brother" and the like would make me really happy. Oh well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. What's your motivation for working hard? (Job, School, etc.)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I realized this a lot in High School when I was thinking about what career path to take. But around that time I started thinking a lot about my parents and that in the future I wanted to be able to support them to the best of my abilities. So I guess I have that aspiration to work hard for the sake of being able to take care of them to a further extent in the future. Giving them a nice relaxing life once I'm nice and secure would be a dream come true for me I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Q. If you could arrange one thing in the world what would it be?&lt;/b&gt; (hard time phrasing this question, but I think it will make sense when you read my answer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this one. If I could, I'd probably have all the friends I've ever made gathered in once place. Either a simple picnic or Hanami for sure. Actually I think Hanami would be the best, right? Now I'm just fantasizing about something like that happening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow that was long, I'm seriously just going to link my Bio to this thing everywhere now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess this really is a blog after all. Huh.</content>

    <lj:music>Miku Hatsune - Usotsuki no Parade</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So I had the fortune of spending the entire week sick up until the weekend. I mean, it could have been worse and carrying over but nothing sucks more then not being able to work properly just because you can't stay focused on anything. In the end I have a slew of things to catch up on for classes and only the nice time of Labor Day weekend to do it. Actually I could really care less but it still made for a crappy week and weekend even.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, me and a couple of my friends went to see "Inglourious Basterds" yesterday. Kind of an oddly paced movie but it was undoubtedly a Tarantino film from a couple of scenes alone. Whether or not it's that great I could argue but for what it was, it was funny and there were enough memorable moments to make it a worthwhile movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other then that, I've been playing Dream C Club and Love Plus a lot for the past couple of days. It definitely covers a certain game genre but next week marks the first day of anime club as well which will probably mean a ton of fighting games once that gets started. I've actually been waiting awhile and I've especially been waiting to sell more posters so I can try and scrap some cash together for leisure purchases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But until then, a four day week of class which I can more or less tough through. After relaxing the first week, being sick the second week, I hope I'll finally be able to gear down. I really wanted to this week but my health begged otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a latter note, sorry I missed posting on it but Happy Birthday Chibi. You're now completely responsible for all your actions now. Have fun.</content>

    <lj:music>Miku Hatsune - *Hello, Planet.</lj:music>
    <content type="html">So a long time ago in a faraway year, I wrote &lt;a href="http://likkun.livejournal.com/6231.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;. Aside from being really long, it was also something that gave a lot of people a good laugh and myself some chuckles while I was writing it. For a long time I've meant to do a sequel but since I felt doing the same thing again was kind of lame, I decided to revamp it a bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have those interesting first impressions when we get into things. For me, playing as many eroges as I do, it comes natural I would have the judgmental nature to find a girl and make her my entire purpose to stay with a series. Alright, so that might just be me. But! This is what our main purpose will be for the day. I decided to compile 10 girls from both anime and eroge alike who I simply needed to follow a series for, or so I had thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What nightmarish experiences did they bring? What was the appeal? Where am I now because of it? All those questions and more will be answered my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/momokawaiiyomomo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Momoha/Momo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Anime&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; I'm pretty sure I was drawn to Momo the second that Manabi Straight actually started. It wasn't a series where I actively prowled the characters before I watched it and I had no fucking clue who Saki Fujita was at the time. Actually, I'm pretty sure I watched the series partly because of Yui Horie and Ai Nonaka. But aside from being literally stupid and a side appearance in the first episode, I did make Momo my personal pick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Well, there's the unfortunate sad truth of how much screen time Momo actually managed to grab in Manabi Straight! On a scale of 1-10, I'd give her appearance time a 1.2 at best. And about 80% of that time was spent staying silent. Little to say, I was actually kept watching Manabi Straight! in hopes of actually seeing an episode where some focus was drawn on her. I don't think I ever started to hate Momo any less during the series but I had my reasons to start liking other characters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Well, I can't say Momo managed to remain on the top of the character ranking but she created plenty of funny memories about the series. On account that Manabi Straight! was actually a great series, I had no reason to be bitter once it was all after. And as well all know, Saki Fujita would soon advance her career and do the voice sampling for Miku. So more or less, I get to hear her more then a few times a day. All's well that ends well in this case...I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/funnykawaiiyofunny.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Funny&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Alice Parade&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; It's sad when a good character is named so oddly that it becomes a turn off. Actually though, Funny is one of those characters that was an instant flip switch. It doesn't take long for you to get "formally" introduced to the Alice Parade cast and there was a nice standout to me when the time came around to make my decision. I really wish I had some humorous reason to say I had chosen Funny, but I assure you it can really just be blamed on the fact that I am who I am. ロリコンホイホイ！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Unlike the former case, Funny is a character who continued to strike a chord with me. With her little 「はひ」 noise and general chilled traits among the cast, it's something I couldn't quite deny going crazy over. The only real flaw here was the undeniable fact that the writers of Alice Parade were not in a stable mental state or they just felt like writing one actual story for one character. It was one of those games where you were best off replacing about every menu option with the word "SEX" and calling it decently constructed. That's about all I could say about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Despite the complete lack of game there is in Alice Parade, I managed to leave with some fond memories. Game aside, I could mark Funny continuously at the top of the character tier and I do have to go back and play the game (?) every once and awhile just to hear her dialogue at certain points. I will mention that after playing Alice Parade a bit extensively it made me do a in-depth analysis of the transformation of the "Alice in Wonderland" story from it's origins to different mediums. Actually if I had half a brain, I would just publish all those thoughts into a book or article and publish it. But to be honest, I realize all that research motivation rooted from an eroge which is pretty sad and probably reduces my credibility to about zero. In hindsight it does become odd picturing a character as strange as the Mad Hatter, as someone like this though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/mintkawaiiyomint.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Mint&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Galaxy Angel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; I'm not sure if I've ever went into how Mint was the character who got me into Galaxy Angel. Surprise surprise! I'll say it again for the record. ロリコン！ホイホイ！ My female mentality aside, Mint was a character that got me into the series before it was even out yet. Looking back, this is possibly another case where you could site me liking a character with a large amount of money in the bank. The first being Sayuri from my previous post as well as Momo earlier in the countdown. Hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; After three games, I don't think my tastes necessarily evolved at all as much as picking out a personality more suited for a guy like me. It would take awhile but Mint would get overshadowed by Vanilla and even Chitose and possibly Milfie. Alright, so things KIND OF went downhill. It's a mildly sad tale but it's the obvious result when you have a harem thrown at you in a game, manga, anime, and more then a few character CDs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; On account GA is a series I hold very dear to my heart, I still have he utmost reason to blame Mint for all of it. Frankly, looking at the amount of money I've put into GA CDs by now, I should hate Mint or at least, the money grubbing side of me should. Perhaps this should all be chalked up to an extreme case of irony where a wealthy character was the one to set off a chain reaction that leaves my pockets empty. That or a bad case of karma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/remikawaiiyoremi.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Remilia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Touhou&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; If you ask any of my good friends, you'd know that I was really stubborn when it came to Touhou. Not that I hate the type of games but it took me a very long time to step anywhere outside the games. One could say it's a case where I really despised most of the fans who got into anything other then the games. I guess I should blame Remilia dearly for somehow lulling me out of simple gameplay when it came to Touhou. This is especially the case since now I randomly browsing artwork sites and listening to more then the occasional arranges. I really believe this series has become some gigantic mind devouring monster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Among the games, the hundreds of hundreds of girls, and millions upon millions of artwork there's really no excuse. Actually it wasn't a huge jump since my prime interests in Touhou still remain among the Scarlet Mansion (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil). This is a case where a girl was seized advantage of only to lose to a friend, in this case, Sakuya. But this is yet another repeating case of offensive behavior on my part. Mai got screwed over in Kanon as I probably would have never done her route to completion so quickly if it didn't allow you to trigger Sayuri's route. Yep, bad person to the core. But hey, what can I say. Turn down a vampire for a maid, at least it's normal right? Well as normal as things can get anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Touhou will forever be Touhou and a slew of new characters get added with each new game. But it's always the charm of the first few characters that will probably keep me around my general interests. At least I'd like to hope I'm a good person like that. If not I doubt any guy would blame me if a new character is created in the mess that ranks higher then another. And with each character being interpreted in a new way by fans, who knows what the heck will happen. I will admit that in a realistic situation though, running out on a vampire would be somewhere near a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/setsunakawaiiyosetsuna.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Setsuna&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; School Days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; Oh yeah, I played School Days. Was for the bad endings? No. Was it for that bitch Sekai? No. Was it for that psycho Kotonoha? Well... Was it for the animated scenes? Alright, maybe. But! Was it for Setsuna? Damn right. I think there were far too many reasons why people really did play School Days but it was really nothing out of my usual routine. I had heard all the bells and whistles of things to look forward to in the game beforehand but even gazing among the character roster, was there any doubt who I would choose? Even among starting the game there wasn't much temptation otherwise. Then again, School Days is one of those normal situations for the most part. No way to charm otherwise then a good old fashioned look and personality. And well at least in School Days, I guess personality would mean a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Absolutely nothing. Well, not really anyway. It was a clean first hit that was right on the mark. Granted there are still other characters I like as far as School Days goes, I don't think I ever had any real trouble sticking Setsuna up there. Well not counting Summer Days where you could throw in Kokoro...but that's just not fair. I mean...cut me a little slack here. There's very little times in this world where you're given a fair chance to be a good person. Summer Days is legitimately not one of those times. But the entire game did focus on Setsuna for the most part, which allowed me to retain my former statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Setsuna being who she is allows me to think that I play it smart. Just gauging who is involved in the worst routes, then it's a fair play. I mean, I didn't choose a psychopath as my favorite so it's all good. I feel like this is one of those times that I didn't draw the short straw and I possibly (?) have something to brag about. I don't quite know where this victory falls but it's really about the small battles...right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/kudokawaiiyokudo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Kudryavka/Kudo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Little Busters!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; Can we talk about when I first glanced over Little Busters! characters that I had something against Kudo? Actually I think it might have been the panic shot of her where she had the ears and tail poking out. Oh man, but it was one of those love hate situations to be sure. I was really hesitant to play Little Busters! because of this because who I did like off the cast weren't making much of an impression to play it. It wasn't until I really started playing the game and saw all of them in action that things clicked. And they clicked alright...man did they click. It took Kudo maybe two boxes of dialogue max before I was hooked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; 「わふーっ！」 That line alone can sum up about everything that happened. Was it even fair? Nah, Kudo suffered very little competition until Little Busters! EX rolled around. I think that at the time I had thought that I may have liked other characters more but in reality it took about listening to Kudo for awhile before my brain snapped back into place. It's something almost like training a dog, when I pick up a lick of Kudo's voice my brain goes into a certain state. It's almost sad really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Kudo will probably still go down as my favorite character of all time in about anything. I mean if the question was posed I'd probably say her name about 98.9% of the time. Don't ask me why I wouldn't say that the other percent of the time but I've just recognized the fact that I need to give my brain a margin of error for everything. Really though, Kudo was the character to motivate me to get some of the stranger purchases I've made. We all know how I reacted about the pillowcase when it came out. But it's possible that in my daily routine, I could probably be among Kudo's presence for most of the day. Wake up next to my pillowcase, put on my t-shirt, drink out of my teacup, browse with my mousepad and stare at my wallpaper on my computer. Either way, it could have been much worse but self control is one of those things I can practice every once and awhile. I really can't say enough about Kudo for the most part. It's really just one of those things for me but sticks me with plenty of fond memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/nadeshikokawaiiyonadeshiko.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Nadeshiko&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Shugo Chara!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Manga&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; I really started reading Shugo Chara! out of a whim when it first started coming out. Granted it was mahou shoujo manga from Peach Pit, I guess that was enough reason to begin with. Anyhow when I began reading it took awhile for me to really pick a first pick. But on account that everyone was in a classification of girl I couldn't hate, what would I do? Well it actually came down to picking level headed Nadeshiko since it let me sit between the two extremes of the girls that are presented early in the story. Actually, I have to admit (and since I frequently compare Shugo Chara! and Cardcaptor Sakura) that Nadeshiko reminded me everything of Tomoyo from CCS without the whole creep factor. Either way it became rather solidified and allowed me to enjoy the series in this perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; So this is some massive spoilers towards Shugo Chara! but it's the big way to get my point across. After a good portion of the series, there is almost a bonus chapter of sort where you get to learn more about Nadeshiko. This to me seemed like a fine sort of idea until of course it gets to the end. Unfortunately in all the chaos of this, it's revealed that Nadeshiko is in fact Nagihiko...a guy. 「・・・。」 Well...this would be the first time. And it did not feel good. Way to be cruel to me Peach Pit and have my favorite character turn me gay. SERIOUSLY? Thanks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Nadeshiko will go down in history as the first trap character that ever got me. For the most part all have been very obvious or made very obvious but this one was just sort of out of nowhere...and cruel. But what can I say, eventually Nadeshiko was replaced in spirit and in my heart as a girl by Rima. I really do have a fond memory of Nadeshiko in the series though and it almost bothers me when Nagihiko does show up on screen. But now my affection has just had to swim over towards Rima and I try to look on it as a fond memory. Go figure that a new trap would get me this year but I'd like not to think about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/shirokawaiiyoshiro.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Shiro&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Fortune Arterial&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; Fortune Arterial was really a game that I played out of a whim. I can't say that I scouted anything beforehand aside from a few recommendations from friends. But I can say that Shiro was another quick click in the game. She was a pretty one of a kind thing in the series that stuck out like a sore thumb. You know, I posted a picture here. Take a quick analysis here to realize the blatantly flat chest. Her hair is yet another weak point for me and while it's not as obvious in this picture she's not exactly a tall character either. Pile this on with a completely innocent personality and we're good to go. This has really just turned into a bad cooking show really. Maybe I'm just out of ideas at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Shiro is the prime reason for me wanting to invent none other then &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/moebutton.jpg"&gt;this handy button here&lt;/a&gt;. It's for when things are just too moe for words. Actually it stemmed from the fact that when Shiro was on screen sometimes it caused me to pound the ground/desk/whatever surface my laptop was on because she was that moe. I had long wanted to replace said pounding with the pounding of a button that could help me gauge just how moe she (or any other character for that matter) was. Really though, Shiro literally had my squealing at times because it really got that bad. Granted I did enjoy the presence of some of the other characters, it just wasn't a situation where you had a fair chance of upping and outing Shiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; With little else to say, I can mention that Shiro was indeed yet another character that I ended up getting a pillowcase for. While it wasn't as bad as an investment as Kudo before her, it wouldn't be something I would up and do for just any character. And I still have plans to someday construct the moe button for the pleasure of enjoying future experiences. Other then that, Fortune Arterial itself was a remarkably noteworthy game as well and I'm sure that with how long certain parts of it felt, I could thank Shiro for keeping me in the ring fighting. It always helps to have some kind of motivation for reading through a Bible's worth of text.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/lolottokawaiiyololotto.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Lolotto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Twinkle Crusaders&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; You know, I really don't know why I started playing Twinkle Crusaders. I can't think of one good reason to be honest. I had never heard of anything pre-wise and I'm not even sure if it was on a recommendation. I think it was honestly one of those good times where I was looking for an eroge and picked one that looked of somewhat good quality. So I guess being more or less skeptical stepping in, I more or less skeptically picked Lolotto as my first choice. Being the only main character at the time that struck me as remotely interesting, I hopped on board for the ride. She had her charms to begin with to be honest and it helped me to enjoy the early game time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; Hell, would put my experiences playing Twinkle Crusaders lightly. Perhaps I was expecting too much from the game with it's visual quality but about everything in it made me want to bash my head into the table. Well, I'll be fair and say that the battle system was fun for awhile, before it became obnoxious that I had go through their repetitive flow throughout every route (only being able to skip a few early bouts). But that wasn't the half of it, after awhile the game itself felt like a badly written, stereotypical nightmare with very little merit. I don't really know why the eroge segments were quite written in since most felt random and some of them made me want to throw myself into a ocean of sharks wrapped with bacon. And I talk of this whole game since this deal didn't only apply to Lolotto but about every character in the game. Actually, maybe I enjoyed other routes more and going through Lolotto's was the one that made me just want to hate the entire game. Little to say, I found a certain affection towards other characters that weren't in the main cast. Why? Probably because I didn't have to sit through a long, terrible story about them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; With all offense to those that enjoyed this game, I hate Twinkle Crusaders and find it very hard to start liking Lolotto. I can enjoy some of the humor when watching the intro scenes of the game but it really just amounts to mind numbing pain later on. Maybe I've just come to hate the stereotypical but all of it really just got to me after awhile and drove me off a cliff. Actually you can see everything I feel "After the fact" by just reading about what I thought about the game in the previous paragraph. Feelings have not changed and I still grumble at my time playing this like an old man. If I didn't have a need to complete things then this disaster may have been slightly avoided. Unfortunately this isn't the case and severe trauma thus continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/yuikawaiiyoyui.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subject Name:&lt;/b&gt; Yui&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Series:&lt;/b&gt; Flyable Heart&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;First Encounter:&lt;/b&gt; Game&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the beginning...:&lt;/b&gt; When the Flyable Heart site first went up and characters were first revealed, I don't even know what it was. Maybe I was just in a crazed state but I went WILD for Yui. I'm usually not the kind to fall for the heroine for the most part but Yui is easily the exception in this case. Even with good options and other characters that might have been more my forte nearby, I just couldn't help it. I was struck with rage when Yui didn't have her own real section in the demo and went crazy when I got my copy at home. I'm hardly one to hype a game either and I'm sure several may vouch for me in saying that I went rather crazy around the release date. And when I got the game, I almost tuned out other characters in some new crazed frenzy. Little to say, it wasn't a competition or chance for the others at the start of things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;What happened?:&lt;/b&gt; As I got to see more of Yui through the games, it was still a turn on for me. What couldn't I like more about a girl who was crazy about donuts? Well, maybe if a girl was theoretically into potatoes hardcore then it possibly be better. But I think that coming from anyone who wasn't me would seem kind of awkward. Something about Yui's affection for donuts and top knots is far too endearing and adorable. Even though I've not finished the entire game yet, I'm sure that my opinions on most characters have been solidified. And even though Yui had some fairly fierce competition, I believe that she still sits pretty on top and strikes me as nearly perfect for my needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;After the fact:&lt;/b&gt; Yui has not only become yet another example of a perfect girl for me in my book but also has become my alarm clock in the morning. That aside she gets a nice little throne at the top of the mountain with the likes of Sayuri from my older post and Kudo from earlier in this one. Perhaps it's something about her that's just different...or impossible for that matter. I'm not quite sure that a girl could eat like she does and remain so beautifully figured. Actually if that were possible then I &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/awesome.jpg"&gt;would be a luchador&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/rich.jpg"&gt;have enough money to both bathe in and hurl at my enemies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/First%20Impressions/beautiful.jpg"&gt;and look exactly like Jean Pierre Polnareff&lt;/a&gt;. But on account that I'm none of those things, I'll just have to settle for the fact that Yui is my ideal type of girl for a reason. That aside, I enjoyed Flyable Heart thoroughly with my hype and thus may have avoided some of the biggest backlash of my life. Hard to believe this is the same company that turned out Alice Parade but, hey, miracles happen. But I'm pretty sure that my donut, Yui loving self will eventually land a Yui pillowcase next to me if she ever gets one. I'll wait...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summing it all up...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all, there's a few things you can pick up from this post about me. The number one of course being that I have unhealthy obsessions with a certain type of girl, but I've had to discuss that business more then once. Second would be that I possibly would marry into to money given the chance. Third would be the case that I would totally use a girl to get to her friend, if need be. Actually all of these things will eventually get me killed so now all of you know the reasons why I'm going to die. Despite my better judgment when it comes to women, I doubt I can protect myself from the incoming knife that's looming for my chest with all of words aside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either way, yet another thing to throw into the backlog and laugh at. I'm pretty sure I was draining my brain to write some of it but it was a fun article to write nonetheless. So until then, I need to let my brain recover from digging in it's deepest chambers.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/Livejournal%20Rants/dokan.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm pretty sure I'm stretching the bounds of lazy nowadays. When I realize all the things I planned beforehand and people start reminding me about certain things, it gets bad. I don't know, I think I'm just upset since I was supposed to have an article up almost a week ago or something and am still only half way through it still. Somehow I just still feel like starting over or cutting that entire half since I kind of feel like I was talking about nothing the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I have been literally getting myself mentally prepared for AX by slowly MELTING AWAY my brain. I took the time to clear out almost 30 GBs on my laptop, only to fill it back up with three eroges that I had to burn through. Progress is good but as to what it's like playing three eroges at a time? Not so good on the gray matter. Throw in some Sengoku Basara to kill some time and you have a lot of wasted brain cells, pretty much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I seized one of the deals at a local electronics store to pick up used copies of Pikmin, No More Heroes, and Super Mario Galaxy all for the Wii. All three are games I should pretty much own by now but I'm still pretty slow in buying major titles on the Wii for the most part. Despite hearing about everything about No More Heroes already, I think the game still charmed me either way. Perhaps it has something to do with character both obsessed with whatever comes out of Akihabara and pro-wrestling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last order of business, if you're into K-ON (Keion, whatever) proceed to throw yourself off the planet. I'm not even kidding, I haven't hated on a show in a really long time. Just when I thought I was going to start chewing on the Hetalia crowd, something had to one up me. I think all the Haruhiists should be lucky that they have a lot of shit going on that they can skate under my radar of criticism right now. I'm too old and tired to be picking on three groups of fans at once.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Shadowlink/Flyable%20Donuts/whymylifesucks.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm pretty sure if you were expecting this picture to be relevant, you'd be sadly mistaken. Incredibly mistaken in fact. So at around 5:10 a.m. or so last night I started heading back from a friend's place after some casual fighting games, Bomberman, and everything else in-between. About the night before I had realized I only had to deal with five or so more nights with my nicely assigned roommate. I had thought this would save me from any more surprises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon walking in while there was plenty of light outside. I find him in bed. Nothing new. But no, it had to be in bed with another man. One of which had been around a few times before. You know, I really don't mind things like this. But having to walk in on something like that is not pleasant. Especially that early in the morning when you're pretty zoned out. More or less I dusted myself off and went to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Except not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around some obscene time I don't remember anymore, his family busted in to help him move out a few things screaming like banshees to the point I had thought it was his one usual acquaintance. Unfortunately not, since it was only his mother and his aunt who were both equally "courteous" to the fact I was in bed. More or less I didn't quite want to go back to bed anymore and decided to lay there. Of course his aunt would have to take a phone call in the room and whoever she was talking to had some complaint to the fact I was sleeping despite it not even being afternoon yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I'm lazy. I got home at 5 a.m. and didn't want to get up yet. On the other hand, my said roommate goes to sleep at 10 p.m. and fails to get up before afternoon hits. I am completely and utterly lazy. Hilariously enough, when I decided to get up and my roommate returned. He apologized for the fact his family was so loud. I more or less wanted to remark that I understood where he got it from but decided it wasn't worth it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morale of the story? If your assigned roommate in college is gay. Set incredibly strict guidelines and save yourself the grief later.</content>

This is normally not a new thing and I was having a rather pleasant dream about Mitsuki (no, not in that way). You know my naps are short enough that they shouldn't get disturbed but they always do at like the fifteen minute mark. I don't know what it is but it's always something. But rather then the usual "Oh, my roommate is a fucking obnoxious idiot" it was something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try having someone walk into a room and scream "OH SHIT" at the top of their lungs rather then just simply being an ordinary obnoxious. Now imagine that person is the bane of your existence and most likely behaves horribly for the sole reason of annoying you. So proceeding this, imagine the person doesn't apologize and rather later when you're trying to recover your last few minutes of sleep beings to loudly talk on the phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's probably a good thing that this won't go on longer. And I'm half inclined to punch my roommate in the face rather then saying goodbye when he leaves the day before me. That or I'll just kick the door closed next time I hear him entering with his obnoxious little friend. Either way I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's also the week before the week before finals week. Which means aside from being the last week of real class it's also where I get to take a long hard look and life and realize how fucked up it is.</content>

    <content type="html">So somehow some free time managed to clear up on April's Fool Day, enough to generate a conversation. Granted it wasn't April Fool's Day in Japan, that didn't stop the jokes from happening to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the group got bigger? This is almost like a cult now or the makings of a bad four koma. I can't really draw a line between the two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L - Likkun/Leek Sensei - I got a new name! Well it's not that new but it's used more often nowadays then not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O - GA Overlord - Aww, there's something cute about us still being friends. We talk about GA considerably less nowadays but that doesn't me we had to drop the nickname. Nor does it mean we're any nicer to each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A - Apollo - Previous known as Mr.X. Through all the years we finally decided he's the nicest guy around us and we joke around him being the Densha Otoko since he's the only real ladies man. But since Hermes is a lame name and because of the Cheetahmen joke from so long ago, he got stuck with the name Apollo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S - Anego - Technically not the older then all of us, everybody still calls her anego after all this time. Before Mitsuki rolled she was the only girl for quite some time. Because of that she and Mitsuki hit it off pretty fast. I still don't know how to act about that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M - Mitsuki - Former student turned sweetheart. Mitsuki has more or less been shaped by our group a lot since she got introduced to everybody. This is why you're supposed to keep your girlfriend and friends separate you see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the long intro, this only retails only one snippet from the chat since it was the only one worth talking about. I was supposed to post stuff like this before but maybe I'll save it for another time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;April Fools! Seriously...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: What are you doing right now anyway Leek? Shouldn't you be studying or something?&lt;br /&gt;L: I'm calling this free time now because I haven't been able to play Flyable Heart.&lt;br /&gt;O: Playing an eroge while talking to us seems very like you.&lt;br /&gt;A: You did invoke the GAII curse on yourself and caused this though.&lt;br /&gt;L: I just want to see Akira get introduced.&lt;br /&gt;S: Seems like Mitsuki is at a loss for words over this.&lt;br /&gt;M: Ah, no. I was expecting you guys to say something about being used to this.&lt;br /&gt;L: Ooh! Wait! Finally!&lt;br /&gt;M: ...&lt;br /&gt;O: How old did you turn again?&lt;br /&gt;L: No, seriously. This scene is set up perfectly! The writing is genius.&lt;br /&gt;A: It does beat you complaining about the game not being good.&lt;br /&gt;O: Not really. Remember when he actually likes something? He won't shut up about it either.&lt;br /&gt;S: I recall that he's not the only one with habits like that. Even worse when it's all of you on about something at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;A: It's true but it can't be helped. Friends are for this kind of thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M: He's being really quiet. I really don't know sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;O: How long has it been now? This is your boyfriend you understand. Going to grow up to be a creepy old man.&lt;br /&gt;A: And very likely to become a professor. But he has been really quiet.&lt;br /&gt;L: .........&lt;br /&gt;L: .......&lt;br /&gt;L: ....&lt;br /&gt;L: Guys...&lt;br /&gt;S: Oh, here we go.&lt;br /&gt;L: My Akira...&lt;br /&gt;O: Oh for the love of...&lt;br /&gt;L: Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&lt;br /&gt;A: That's not the kind of noise I would expect. You know like a moe~ kind of thing was more along your usual lines.&lt;br /&gt;L: My Akira is a guy.&lt;br /&gt;S: ...&lt;br /&gt;A: ...&lt;br /&gt;M: ...&lt;br /&gt;O: ...wow. You really, really deserved that.&lt;br /&gt;A: Actually yeah. That's like a whole year of karma coming to hit you.&lt;br /&gt;S: I...probably can't argue that.&lt;br /&gt;L: ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡&lt;br /&gt;L: Mitsuki....&lt;br /&gt;M: No...you did have that coming.&lt;br /&gt;A: Better yet, is the date over there.&lt;br /&gt;S: Oh dear. That's one for the books...&lt;br /&gt;O: Am I the only one feeling a really good feeling right now?&lt;br /&gt;A: No&lt;br /&gt;S: Not alone&lt;br /&gt;L: I'm...going to stop playing now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worst. April Fool's Day joke. Ever.</content>

    <content type="html">except without the whole, making miracles part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before anything else, I should comment how everybody should buy the album supercell just released a few weeks ago. Live instrumentation is a beautiful thing, especially when ryo is the fucking composer. And all the more power to him for getting on Oricon rankings. Now on to business, love, and karaoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday was an exceptionally memorable White Day, I can say that much. I pretty much woke up late morning and decided to check my e-mail. I decided I wouldn't talk to Mitsuki until mid-afternoon ish and lo' and behold, there was an e-mail from her. I had no idea why she would send me an e-mail until I read it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"*insert lots of unnecessary dialogue and other things* Thank you so much for the flowers!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;！？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;！？！？！？！？！？！？！？！？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I get a rather fortunate ring up from Apollo (previously known as Mr.X, we gave him a real nickname rather then just his previous but that's a whole other story). Evidently he had gotten a whole bunch of people who knew me together to pitch in to buy something for Mitsuki since I didn't have a means of doing so this year. Aww, my brothers, I love them so much for bailing me out like this. I hate posting on 2ch sometimes but it's times like these that I really love the people that I meet there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romantics aside, me and my two friends went to karaoke later that night (totally irrelevant from anything else). Since there was such a small group we got a lot of stupidity in. Just to wrap about everything I was involved in, in no particular order...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7elJjI_eZxM"&gt;Arashi - Sakura Sake&lt;/a&gt; - So I totally sang this because I know the song toooooo well. I also sang this for Mitsuki on occasions a lot because she likes Arashi and I do know it. I still can't do Sho's rap worth shit though. I really need to just memorize it to get the damn thing, because trying to do it on the spot was impossible even for my Japanese friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qS1kqhhebw&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;IOSYS/miko - Marisa Stole the Precious Thing&lt;/a&gt; - This was technically my friend's preference but I couldn't sit it out. It's way too easy to do the breakdown with two people though. Oh, and of course we sounded like idiots. We also realized it was probably the first time the song was performed at that karaoke bar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDoQhUQ75pg"&gt;Shuuji to Akira - Seishun Amigo&lt;/a&gt; - "My girlfriend would kill me if she heard me singing this." This was basically my イケメン song of the night and I know it would make any girl want me. This is also sadly easy to sing then again, so was Sakura Sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4jkxXyCBgs"&gt;ryo/Miku Hatsune - Melt&lt;/a&gt; - Basically the last song of the night just because of my random throwing out songs. I sang mostly the male version but switched to the female lyrics when I forgot. I could sing this song without any effort because it makes you look timid and cute. And girls dig that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF1R7PF-dLg&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;Wakamoto - Very Melon&lt;/a&gt; - Another of my friend's choices. He promised he would do this song if it was here. I did the back up vocals on it but due to the fact I was basically cracking up the entire time, it was hard for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raHO3VibFLw&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;The Checkers - Julia ni Heartbreak&lt;/a&gt; - We should talk about how if I want to impress people, I sing this song. OH MY JULIAAAAAAA, yeah I was pretty much unstoppable. It's really refreshing to sing something older and by people who can actually sing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFEeNCghwA8"&gt;sambomaster - Sekai wa sore wa ai to yobunda ze&lt;/a&gt; - My tribute to 2ch but also the hardest fucking song I sang. I think it's a matter of going through a huge range and also the effort you have to put into some parts. If I did this again, I'd need a partner to be able to handle everything. Though it was fun screaming LOVE AND PISSSSSS as loud as possible at the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOSH9Kn0F9I"&gt;Masaaki Endo - Yuusha Oh Tanjou!&lt;/a&gt; - My friend gave a choice between a Kageyama or Endo song. I knew if I chose Endo it would be this song and I wanted to do backup. Which essentially chanting Gaogaigar and filling the entire fucking room screaming "Goldion Hammer" which was INSANELY loud when we did it. I would never mind doing this elsewhere because it is a hell of a lot of fun to sing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FueivoYAx8Q"&gt;Megumi Nakajima - Seikan Hikou&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ご存知、ないのですか!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;・・・&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This song speaks for itself. And the fact I can sing it competently nowadays says a lot about my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, karaoke aside it's time for the business. I already informed about everyone everywhere else that I was going to AX and my main plan is to also get a hotel room. So if you're interested in joining me there, then you should tell me since splitting a hotel cost will save you a ton of money and put you in a nice location for attending events at any time you want. I also plan to organize as much possible stuff together to reduce costs if at all possible. So if you want to join me then you should speak up.</content>

    <content type="html">This is also coincidentally, my dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have to admit, no one, not even me drugged up on medicine sleeps at 8:30 pm. This is fucking nonsense. Coming back from a test to have to sit in the dark is a serious pain in the ass. I vow to be as fucking obnoxious as possible until midnight where my medicine will probably start kicking in hardcore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, other great highlights of the week. My roommate is probably writing a book on how to behave when your roommate is sick. Just for some tips you should always:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Bring guests over, the most obnoxious ones you can find at that.&lt;br /&gt;2) Open the window, because it's never too cold.&lt;br /&gt;3) Invite more guests, even when you clearly see your roommate napping and taking medicine that same day.&lt;br /&gt;4) Do whatever the fuck you want. You don't care because you're a dumbass that isn't studying for a real career.</content>

And that the reason for the entire trip is to go there to see a gay porn actor from the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;L:&lt;/b&gt; I guess we can just get a live feed while we're talking then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;M:&lt;/b&gt; That sounds like a date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More or less this is probably going to be one of the best Valentine's Gays ever. I figure things like this really don't strike like they should anymore. But yeah, it should be a nice night for sure and things only get better since Mitsuki is out of classes for some reason unbeknown to me. But I won't complain since it'll be a fun time for all.</content>

    <content type="html">So I finally found some use for the gift card I got at Barnes and Noble from I don't know when. Honestly I'm just lucky they let you use it for online shopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Order:&lt;br /&gt;Gravion + Gravion Zwei Complete Box Set&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;......&lt;br /&gt;.....&lt;br /&gt;....&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Burger (Widescreen Edition)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It only added like $10 to the order so I couldn't help it. I swear I've been looking far too long for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, I'll get to replying to that meme once this week is over. Seriously, I've been working so non-stop that I can't feel my hands anymore. Plus tomorrow I get to study for an exam that night. I don't even know if I should bother sleeping yet or not.</content>

I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.&lt;br /&gt;3. I'll pick a type of tea to brew/serve and drink with you.&lt;br /&gt;4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.&lt;br /&gt;5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.&lt;br /&gt;6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.&lt;br /&gt;7. I'll ask you something I've always wondered about you.&lt;br /&gt;8. I'll tell you what sport/Neoroma/anime character you remind me of.&lt;br /&gt;9. I'll tell you a place I always wanted to hang out with you.&lt;br /&gt;10. If you do this you must post this on yours. You MUST. It is written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, I'll never get women. You had all bloody semester and you choose the last few weeks to get flirty and cute with me. Are you serious? I'm hoping this is just some sort of spiel before vacation and that when we get back she's going to act normal again. If not I'm going to be pissed off.</content>

    <content type="html">I really hate betting on games by score but it's the only way to convince people to actually give up money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go figure that I have the Pens winning against the Hurricanes 3-1. It was looking perfect. But nooo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is an empty net goal really THAT necessary? C'mon Malkin, I support the team now let me win money. Especially according to the fact I'll be broke otherwise at the end of the month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, I should be posting something real tomorrow assuming I don't get lazy. Probably filled with relationship issues, random chat logs, and whatever other nonsense I've been ignoring.</content>
