    I am not your toaster!@ Stop it!

    I wish I remembered where that image was. Rin says she's the poptart and I'm the toaster, since I'm such an uke. >_>

    Ok, Ka , the game is called "Evil Zone" in English, and, uh, "Eretzvaaju" or something bizarre like that in kana. Go figure.

    I went here once or twice when I was in college. But I didn't realize until yesterday how likely it is that that site will mean the damnation of my soul. >DDDDDDD Shannon, go look, and then you can laugh at me the next time you see me. XD LOOK AT IT! JUST LOOK! @_@

    I could comment on how the funniest jokes have a grain of truth in them, but I won't. ;;^_^ The South Asian community is a bizarre bunch of people, and I mean that with both love and irritation. :D

    And I am going to sleep. I am almost finished with Persona 2: Innocent Sin. Another good game that somehow managed to make me like all the characters for different reasons. If the party in Eternal Punishment is the jaded, cynical adults, then the party in Innocent Sin is the innocent yet utterly bent teenagers. XD They're each disturbed in their own amusing, yet realistic way. Maya, although the oldest, isn't exactly a model of level-headed, sober maturity. The girl can't drive ANYTHING worth shit - she's the one who crashes the blimp - and the inflatable raft - and anything else she tries to drive - in Innocent Sin. Everyone in the two Persona 2 games has Serious Issues (and in Persona 1 too, but...) but in Innocent Sin, they deal with them by repressing and sublimating it - Eikichi's narcissism, etc etc - but in Eternal Punishment, the adults deal with it by resenting life itself...

    I think I've been at work too long when I start analyzing everything I see. @_@

    By the way..."In The Bedroom" was good. Very good. I don't cry at movies. Never have. But this one made me come close. Not exactly at what happened, but by how they reacted to it - or didn't react. So much more realistic emotionally than the stereotypical crap you get in theaters nowadays. People don't always react to stress and tragedy by coming together - they more often than not lash out at each other, tearing each other apart.

    A few quick online tests:

    Here is the result of your hentai Purity Test. You answered "yes" to 79 of 110 questions, making you 28.2% hentai pure (71.8% hentai corrupt).

    If I actually wrote fic or drew fanart, I'm sure I would have gotten 0% hentai pure. ;;^^

    NOOOO!!! IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!! THIS TEST WAS RIGGED!!!!!

    Call me Uke
    Are you seme or uke? Find out!


    Stop laughing. All of you. >E~~~~~

    " It may be incredibly obvious, but some people are incredibly stupid."

    Okay, so apparently I just can't hear my own accent. Ka mentioned yesterday that I do have an accent, but it's one of those ones that she just can't place. Hm. All right then! I'm not all that great at distinguishing English voices - say, if you played two US actors' voices, unless it was blatantly obvious I'd have no clue. That's because I guess in English I listen to WHAT they're saying, not to their voices themselves. Whereas in Japanese, I was listening to the SOUND of the voice before I could understand any of the content of what they were saying. Which is why I am a seiyuu-h0.

    I have some of the strangest friends. Actual conversation from the past weekend, around 3 am Sunday morning:

    Puu: Kya? What does 'bukkak3' mean? I can't remember anymore.
    Kya: Well, it's like this. You know what 'buch korosu' or 'bukkorosu' means?
    Puu: Yeah, um, I'll definitely kill you, I'm going to kick your ass, something like that. It's an intensifier.
    Kya: Right. Now, 'kakeru' means...well, if you pour a lot of soy sauce on something, that's 'kakeru'.
    Puu: To soak? Drench?
    Kya: Sort of, yeah. So - buch + kakeru =
    Puu: Thoroughly soaked! >D Thanks, Kya! I'll remember it now! XD

    See, she could have just told me outright what it meant, but linguistics geeks speak a special language of their own, even when talking about pr0n. (Well, I suppose you know what kind of pr0n 'bukkak3' is now, even if you didn't before. Just think one girl and many guys.) We have to know the ROOT of the terms! >D

    I'm going to go see "In the Bedroom" with my dad tonight. I have to remind myself to spend time with him now that my mom's out of the country. He's got to be bored. He's like me in that alone time = good, but also like me in the sense that he'd like some company ONCE in a while, so I'm trying to strike a balance. I have this unfortunate tendency to flee from my house after about two hours with my parents, which probably gives them the wrong idea. Anyways, so I try to call him every other day to say hi, even for a few minutes. Maybe I'll let him come over and hang out for a while sometime. He can grade papers while I play JP RPGs. Sounds good to me. XD But I have to do a doujin-sweep of my apartment before I let him over. He'd look at me REALLY STRANGELY if he found some of them. ;;^_^ I don't want to get into a sociological explanation of why I have all these yaoi doujin, so I'll just clean my apartment first. XD I think he'd accept the chocolate-chip-cookie explanation better than the sociological nonsense anyways. I buy the cookie explanation more than the sociological explanation. XD

    Sociological explanation for yaoi: It's a way for adolescent girls to explore their blah blah blah in a safe environment, blahblah blah, nonthreatening, blah blah...
    Chocolate chip cookie explanation for yaoi: What's better than one chocolate chip cookie? *leer* TWO chocolate chip cookies. XD

    It's like why guys like l3sb14n pr0n. (Greg: But chocolate chip cookies don't try to eat each other! XD Gregly, you say some of the most amusing shit sometimes.)

    Shannon! Let's get together sometime soon. This weekend, maybe? I dunno! See a movie? Hang out? Preferably not at my apartment, because I really need to get OUT of there, but hey, whatever.

    o/~ Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray o/~

    It's been one of those surreal, slighty-disconnected-from-reality days already. But thankfully I'm not nauseated anymore. Nothing like feeling sick to your stomach and realizing that you still have 6 hours of work left.

    Funny thing happened yesterday; someone told me that they weren't entirely sure where I came from, based on my accent alone. That surprised me; I thought I had kind of a stereotypical Midwestern accent, kind of slurred because I talk quickly when I'm excited, but still nothing particularly weird. But I guess due to my family I have a peculiar Northern European/South Asian slurry Midwestern accent. Very very weird. Especially since I can't wrap my mouth around some of the vowel combos in Danish without making funny faces and sounding totally ridiculous.

    o/~ I want somebody to share, share my - o/~
    * Puu screams in horror and stabs frantically for the 'off' button on the radio.

    I still have standards, goddammit.

    Oh, phew, it's over.

    I swear, kids these days. One of the kids yesterday tried to tell me that he already knew the entire Mahabharata because he had a movie version on DVD. I actually managed an eyebrow arch at him and told him that he might as well stay anyways, since his parents had already left.

    If I weren't headed for med school, I'd probably become one of those old lunchroom ladies with a hairnet and an icecream scoop for mashed potatoes, grumbling loudly about how when *I* was their age, I had a grey brick-shaped Gameboy and a Sega Genesis was a EXTRAVAGANCE that I WAS NOT WORTHY OF, and not just an obsolete P.O.S. >D It still shocked me when my little 7-year-old cousin had a Playstation and an N64 and a GBA, AND he had NO IDEA what a SuperNintendo was. My poor baby. *pats perfectly-functional SNES*

    Now Playing: Pixies - Here Comes Your Man (pretty cool. I have the power again. I typed this song as the song I was intending to listen to NEXT, and a minute later it came on the radio. Fu fu fu. >D Startled me. The aliens are reading my brainwaves again.)

Finally, back to black. If you've been reading my blog at all for the past month or so, you know I've sold my soul to Atlus and their awesome RPG, Persona 2. This layout features Suou Tatsuya, the Deja-Vu Boy of Persona 2.5 and the hero (?) of Persona 2. He's - another one of those surly boys who glare at you if you try to pet them. XD He's holding the mask of Apollo, his persona, and the hands coming up are those of the final boss Nyarlathotep, which is kind of a fucked up situation, if you think about it. Don't know who Nyarly-chan is? Quickly read this or this. Nyarlathotep is the messenger of the Outer Gods, the god who takes a thousand forms. It's just kind of fucked up. Here's some random Japanese Lovecraft fanart. Angst, Tatsuya! Angst! Be glad I didn't use the two other forms of Nyarly-chan in the Persona games that I have scans of. One can be summarized as 'tentacles with faces' and the other as 'man with bondage-gimp limbs.' I love the character designer for the Persona games; he has a really unique and slightly unsettling style. (For giggles, 'Nyarlathotep' becomes 'Nyaruratocheppu' in Japanese.)

As for the title of the blog itself, it comes from the Placebo song "Without You I'm Nothing." Actually, the album version of the song is only so-so. But the UNKLE mix featuring David Bowie kicks my ass. It kicks your ass, too.

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide.
I'll take it by your side.
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide.
I'll take it by your side.
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies.
I'll take it by your side.
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide.
I'll take it by your side.

tick - tick-tock x3
tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock

I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
You're slipping slowly from my reach.
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all

I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
I...
Fall.

Without you, I'm Nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Without you, I'm nothing.
Take the plan, spin it sideways.
Without you, I'm nothing at all.
