Why so serious?

I have a confession to make. I think I might be a masochist.

No, that doesn't necessarily mean I have an unnatural attraction to fuzzy pink handcuffs. It just so happens that my tastes in regards to entertainment appear to be contradicting each other.

I'm a sucker for happy endings. Really, I am. Despite the front I put up of being EMO and SCENE I'm actually quite warm and fuzzy inside (hur, hur). So when I watch something, I invariably find myself rooting for the protagonists (and since I'm also a sucker for romantic dramas *gasp* this means I want the protagonists to FALLINLOVE/GETMARRIED/HAVEKIDS).

However, the shows that I end up loving are also invariable EMO BAWFESTS. Saikano. Byousoku 5cm. NHK. Elfen Lied. KgNE. Sola. These shows all have one thing in common. The actors either FUCKUP/DIE/DOESNOTGETTHEGIRL. The fact that I'd been hoping with all my heart that there be a happy ending does not help matters at all. It just makes the SAD EMO ending all the more SAD and EMO. And causes me to obsess over the show for several days. Until I find something else to emo over, after which the cycle continues.

So why do I keep doing it to myself? See: masochism.

In Poetics, Aristotle writes about catharsis, the emotional cleansing or purification of the audience upon the ending of a tragedy. Strange, that. Upon the completion of a tragedy I tend to find myself RAGE-ing at the world at large. Then advertising said tragedy to everyone so that they can all share my grief. Say, maybe I'm a sadist as well as being a masochist.

Incidentally, I seem to have a penchant for liking moeblobs/tsunderes/tragic heroines in general (see: Lucy, coma-girl, Akari). I wonder what my psychologist would have to say to that, eh? Actually, I think I have a feeling what he might say. And I also have a feeling I probably won't like it.

"This is all just Jewish guilt!"

Did you know that YouTube has a new function now? Before posting comments, they can be read to you in a voice that sounds uncannily like the one from the Project Chanology videos, in an effort to combat retarded posters who do not think before they post.

I think I spend a good ten minutes filling in REALLY BAD WORDS just to have them read back to me for shits and giggles. Yea, I'm easily amused.

What's funny is, the Disembodied Voice actually does a fair rendition of my name, which 90% of new people that I meet (and ~30% of my friends) mispronounce on a regular basis. It still mispronounces "loli", though.

WAKARIMASU KA~, part deux

I saw skirt-girl-chan again today, wearing a different colored skirt. Beige it was, I think.

Now excuse me while I go appeal that restraining order.

WAKARIMASU KA~

UBC is full of scary Asian males. Just ask the animu clubbu.

But I digress.

So today I saw a girl wearing a skirt. Nothing special, you say. After all, girls the world over (except in Fundamentalist Islamic countries) wear skirts. But this girl, my friends, shall go down in the annals of history as the one skirt wearer who will change the destiny of mankind.

For this girl was also riding a bicycle.

I'll leave it to you to realize the ramifications of such an act.

p.s. I think I kinda had an o____O face on when I was looking at her 'cuz she stared at me for a second. It was a combination of 1. How could anyone be so stupid and 2. More girls should be like her. Man, I'm such a pervert.

Half-Life Episode 3: France Gets Fucked

Ohshi-

So ummm...crowbars, anyone?

FOB covers MJ's "Beat It"

Pedophilic rock has never been so angsty.

EPIC LOLI RAGE

Note: title has little/nothing to do with this post.

I hate how my friends laugh at me instead of helping me extract my foot when I accidentally get it stuck between two rocks while picking up soap a pot. I don't get enough love :'(

UBC's been going well for me this year, so far. The new agenda is bloody awesome, as it has a picture of a tree (?) on its cover. Oh yea, and the binding doesn't suck ass. I may actually use it, just like I may actually attend all my classes. Cue sarcastic laughter here.

I'm also registered for EOSC 116. For the uninitiated, EOSC is the course code for Earth and Ocean Sciences. And what is EOSC 116 about, and why am I so delirious with joy, you ask? Because it's about DINOSAURS. That's right. You heard it. DINOSAURS. Which other university would have a class as epic as studying fucking DINOSAURS???!? Certainly not SFU, ha ha.

And you can bet yer ass I'm bringing plastic Jurassic Park velociraptor models to the first class.

In a totally unrelated note, a Kingsway Sushi staff apparently plays Half-Life 2. How do I know? Take a look at this:

Now take a look at this:

See the similarity there? I bet there's a sushi maker out there somewhere, wondering how he'd integrate a Vortigaunt into a spicy tuna cone.

p.s. What sort of sick pervert would come up with erotic fanfiction for Jurassic Park? All my precious childhood memories of the movie have been sullied, thanks to someone's story of raptor on raptor...God, I can't even finish this. I hope he gets run over by a school bus full of six-year-olds.
