Things You Might Not Know About Me. |

Every blog require an entry that lets your readers know an incredible mass of information about yourself. Welcome to that entry.
-------
- I am not interesting, however people have told me that my stories can be.
- I am emphatically fond of Thesauri and the sensational yet scarcely used grammar improving invention better known as Spell Check.
- I am heavily critical of critics.
- I absolutely abhor persons who "tYpE lIkE tHiS", "TYPE LIKE THIS", "tipe lyke thes" or any other bleeding-eye catastrophe that has come to be accepted as cool or hip.
- Chat Speak makes you look dumb, especially if your excuse for delving into its dark depths is that spelling out an entire work takes up too much of your time. When did talking over instant messenger become a race?
- Representing Farifield (or, as it has come to be known, the "flatz" wink is not cool in any way. Please stop now.
- Representing the entirety of the Bay Area is not cool in any way. Please stop now.
- I am an underground rap fan solely on the basis that hip hop is the only genre of music that has never depressed me. [EDIT: This is no longer true. There is no musical genre with vocal lyrics that does not depress me. That said, instrumentals make me sob from time to time, as well. Sadly, I have no place left to escape from the dark depths of my emo-ness. Boohoo. I demand you give me tissues now or let me blow my nose in your lapel.]
- However, the afore mentioned does not mean that I will want to talk with you because you also like rap/are an aspiring rap artist. It takes an insane lack of talent to spew out a rap album and I would appreciate it if you did not assume that I would like anything you have created.
- I am at a complete loss as to why every guy in the area in which I live wants to be a rapper. What ever happened to becoming a rock star?
- Reading is a passion of mine and I spend far too much time browsing bookstores with no intent to buy.
- My friends all have spare keys to my car as I tend to lock myself out on a week to week basis.
- Music is best listened to while driving and should only be played at a volume that will earn you odd stares from the people on the street.
- I am a sucker for sappy, romantic crap.
- I strongly detest shoes, the arms of chairs, my less than flat stomach, people who drive ten miles under the speed limit, bible thumpers and hypocrites.
- If you only think you can do something, then you probably cannot. So please, do not tell me that you think you are a good writer/poet/artist/ect. because I will have no problem pointing out that you thought wrong.
- My car is the most effective piggy bank I have ever owned and collects more coinage than a nun with a cup raising money for her parish.
- I have a strong dislike for anyone who follows a religion through ignorance. It is best to study it on your own and make your own assumptions rather than listen to the thoughts and beliefs of a preacher. So, please, if you insist on Christianity, put the New Believers edition of the Bible back on the bookshelf, stop reading self-help books to teach you how to be a better Christian, take responsibility for your own actions (the devil is not the reason you drove home drunk) and start thinking for yourselves before you preach at me.
- I console myself while driving alone. I will also create, or recreate, conversations with imaginary persons.
- I talk to myself in the mirror while washing my face.
- Dancing in an empty house is one of the most exuberant experiences one can have in their lifetime and I think everyone should indulge in some heavy jigging when no one is around to see.
- I love swimming at night, carrying around a journal with no plan to actually write anything at all, Celtic music, Tuna sandwiches, standing in the ocean, and all my beautiful friends.
- I will always cry at the end of the movie.
- I like Harry Potter. Get over it.
- No matter how hard you try, you will never get me to say the things you want me to say.

I'm sure I am not the ownly gaian to have recieved this pm, but it just bugged me... So, I decided to post my thoughts on the whole situation. Originally, I was just going to send it to my friend's, but my pm/friend's list thing is being dumb. That, and it's been a long while since I have posted a journal entry. So, here I go.
Whether this is real or not, I must say that it is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. Not because someone is allegedly trying to ban anime from America, but because the reasoning behind it is just so mind-numbingly stupid.
The utter ignorance anyone must possess to believe that a CARTOON is the sole cause of "moral decay" in our country is ludicrous. Have you ever given thought to the fact that all the violence in the American made movies about drugs, sex, gangs and money have any part to play in to demoralization of the teenage mind? Or perhaps the massive amounts of terrorist actions displayed on the news everyday? Damn! Get the picture! Have you ever sat there and watched a half an hour sitcom on ABC? Tell me how many times during the commercial breaks that the 7 O’clock news shows a preview of that night's broadcast and how often they talk about death, destruction and turmoil in the Middle East rather than the current events of the local area? Or maybe, just maybe, something GOOD! The media hooks people with depression and destruction rather than any type of uplifting messages. And someone has the gall to blame the destruction of society on cartoons. And not just any cartoons, but anime. Next I'm going to hear someone blame Kim Possible for their kid’s autism. "If he hadn't watched that blasted show with all of its anti-moral violence he would be a normal little boy." Get a life, you morons.
Whether this is real or not, it doesn't change the fact that there are actually people out there who believe this way. Why don't you stop blaming your neighbors for the mess in your backyard? I'm sure they had nothing better to do with their own, so they decided to come screw with your's.
Oh, and please, whether you are going to post something like this as a hoax or for real, do your research before bashing a whole genre. There are more than just two popular anime series in the universe, and certainly there are better examples of the genre than these two. And please stop smoking Jesus. He kills your brain cells.
