I LIVE!

Three months later...

Hello again my loyal readers, it's been far too long! (3 months and 20 days to be exact...)

Here's what I've been doing in that time. My girlfriend broke up with me soon after my last post and I didn't want to do anything, hence my silence, and we got back together a week later. I then got a new job a little over a month ago at the Matrix Warehouse in Melville so I could leave the restaurant scene behind me and move to the marginally better world of sales! And I broke up with my girlfriend again for reasons. For a time, I was single ;)

My soul, and how I expected
it to leave my body...

As you can tell, my friends didn't destroy me for that awful prank on April Fools. They were generous enough to let me live! Soul in tact! I've also made a new friend, Jess, whom I bonded with strongly and in a very short amount of time, thanks to the miracle of IM's, Whatsapp :) It's so incredibly important to have someone whom understands you and you can share virtually anything with! And thus we are now a couple :P She lives pretty far away but I have a drivers license and a car and a job so I have no excuse not to see her, I get to see her on the weekends!

Recently Steam had their annual Summer Sale and of course I was dirt broke, the R50 I had in my bank account at the time was wisely spent on... LITTLE INFERNO! Such a fun game by the creators of World of Goo, in Little Inferno you just have to burn things. Letters, bricks, planetary bodies, people-like dolls, everything!!! It's a game that just might turn you into a pyromaniac but that's a risk I'm willing to take :P The only real goals are to get combos (like burning a cat with an old lady to get "Cat Lady"), and to burn EVERYTHING! I couldn't stop putting things in the fire until I finished the game close to midnight the same day it finished downloading... It's a very comforting flame.

Chuunibyou

Chuunibyou in the natural habitat, a world of darkness B)

This is a Japanese word, it refers, in part, to someone that pretends to have dark super-natural powers. I have seen a couple anime involving these character types and I recently clicked that I have at least 2 friends that do the same (No name-dropping). Trouble is, they don't know it makes people shy away, I know they're good at heart and are just looking to make friends so how do I tell them they need to change? And I can only say so much before they get fed-up with me for trying to be a know-it-all smart ass :l Which is what I feel like when I think I know what other people are thinking!

RAAAAAAAGH!

Fear me!

I went with an arbitrary roar to cleanse the mind and change the subject, HELLO! Now let's talk about the deep stuff, I got to spend time with my younger sister that was on holiday recently! Kathryn visited for over a week and it was just positively AWESOME! I've missed her so much :D We watched movies in my room the other night and we went to supper (parents included) which was so epic! We went to the new restaurant in Melville, Pulp Fiction and I give it 2 thumbs up! The food was amazing and the entire experience was just wonderful. And my older sister got engaged, planning a wedding for January the 8th! I'm getting a brother (in law)! But we're already brothers at heart, right Francois? ;)

Such great news and stuff happening :)

Ore Twintail ni Narimasu - Anime

Odd...

Odd, strange, and weird are the 3 words I choose to begin with. It all started at episode 1 - Oh, let's see what this is about! Mitsuka Souji, the twin-tail crazed male protagonist (that's a hair style with ponies on either side of the head - sort of) transforms into a twin-tailed super heroine named Tail Red to save the world's twin-tails from an alien species that lives off of human kind's attributes. "Attribute" refers to your hearts greatest desires.

The English name is: "Gonna be the Twin-Tails!!" which, as far as I know, was no man's dream ever :l Souji is a very special nut-case that will "Go to any lengths to save twin-tails, and he'll save the world while he's at it!"

The further I got through season 1 of this show, the more I realised what strange things I watch.
Fight scenes with hideous monsters that have a thing for dolls and ribbons and large oppai and swimsuits and and and, ending with 1 slash because they are easily distracted by said dolls and ribbons and large oppai and swimsuits AND AND AND! Or because they called the wrong girl flat chested :P

I found it hilarious and naughty (hilariously so), somehow he even gets the whole harem thing going for him. And so I watched it through to the end. Although do not be fooled by the ridiculous-ness of it all, there are strong messages under-lying the whole story. Grand, motivational messages of believing in yourself and following your dreams as far as your strength can take you (lest they be devoured by aliens and you're left in a bland grey world without anything to live for... Because science.).

I recommend this anime for anyone that enjoys a good comedy with loads of fantasy madness, ridiculous plot developments, more ridiculous "Plot" developments and some- no, more than 'some' fan service for 12 crazy roller-coaster-like episodes. I promise, by the end of it all you'll simultaneously be wondering "What in the name of all that is good and holy did I just watch!?" and "WHEN CAN I HAVE MORE!?", or you won't. It's a bit of a coin toss, really! Also... Tentacles. \\\\(*o*)////
