It always gives me something similar to nostalgia or anxiety when I come across abandoned accounts and profiles, it makes me wonder what there is of those people, they lost interest? They are fine? Something bad happened to him? In countering an inactive account is like looking at a dead body, it makes you aware of finitude and mortality
На тот случай, если наша златовласая всё же появится здесь.
С праздниками вас книгоиздательская наша, с Рождеством вас путешественнонастроенческая вы наша.
Будьте для кого-то солнцем, а для всех остальных - настоящим золотом.
Oh yeah. If you remember Jiraishin(and i hope you do), AND more importantly, Ida Kyoya from the same series, just wanna ask what do you think about Ida?
From his personality, to his outlook on life. Do you think that he 'deserves' to find happiness? To get married and have a family? Or is he destined to be forever alone by his own decision? You think he will ever have a change in heart? These questions might seem irrelevant and just small talk, but i'm at a point in my life where i also have to answer or at least think about these questions because i feel a connection to Ida, and that we share many same qualities(ie both emo and keep stuff to ourselves, and like to do everything ourselves, and ask no one for help :p). Hope it doesn't come off as sounding too condescending or cocky, but yeah. You did list him as one of your favourite characters and i know you like Jiraishin, so just wanna know your thoughts on Ida. Do you find him morally repugnant, amoral, etc etc? Someone who has no feelings or emotions? He's quite hard to read, but yeah. There were tinges of him showing that he cares for his 'friends' or 'partners', even if he can't cry or show any real empathy for them.. just makes him that much more interesting. Do you remember if they showed or explained just WHY he's the way he is? I remember they did, but i don't remember the EXACT reasoning, or i wasn't satisfied with the reasoning they gave.. i think it was something to do with his parents and him getting fucked up psychologically when he was younger by some incident or something.. do you remember?
Sorry for asking this out of the blue, but i just read Jiraishin again a few weeks ago, and i'm still thinking about Ida.. hehe..
If anything, this should give you a good excuse to re read the whole Jiraishin again(if you haven't already done so many times previously :p). But it does seem like you are quite busy these days.. you still read or enjoy anime/manga as much as you did a year or two ago even? I feel as though i don't enjoy the current stuff anymore, but still loving the seinen and 'real' stories just as much as ever.
Hey babes. Another year gone.. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Years!
I wish Jiraishin Diablo would get released more often. Do you know what's going on with it currently? Ida's a badass. I miss the dark 'suffocating' feeling of Jiraishin.. you have any recommendations that will give me the same kind of feel..? I know you have probably read many like this. Seinen would be preferred. Thanks again. and again.. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Years!
Hope all is well in Russia, with all the elections and all that. How are things there right now? is it really tense with the election protests, or is that just a small time thing and not really serious like in the rest of the world? I somehow don't see protests(or as small and 'splintered' as that) as bringing down the Russia gov.. especially when they don't take no shit militarily, or from the media(which i hear is all state controlled). But yeah. Just how they got labeled as 'democratic' and actually thought of as such by the west(or at least by the less 'worldly' or less 'cultured' folks), i'll never know for sure(maybe just apathy, even if they know the truth?). Guess i know that the west are hypocrits and have double or even triple or more standards, depending on who they are dealing with. Dirty rats(bankers + governments).. hope they crumble to the OWS movement. :p
Oh yeah, and i hope all is well in your life and you are safe these holidays.
Take care now;

EDIT: Oh, and i missed you too! We all do! Come back to us! hehehe
О склонности к покраснению и графоманстве. У нас сменилась власть в офисе, в котором я тружусь (ибо работать уже фитилёк короток). Новый руководитель - тот же графоман, но на словах. Когда хочет что-то сказать или даже спросить, суть сообщения тонет в пучине тысяч слов. И когда все уже пытаются перегрызть себе вены, чтобы избежать вечных мучений, наступает развязка. Чаще всего она поразительна, поскольку, в общем, не несёт в себе смыслового заряда. Мне, прзнаться, пока нелегко. Поскольку я вообще против излишних словоизъявлений, особенно в ущерб эффективности. Но при этом сам всегда излишне многословен в письмах. Диалектика.
Уж сколько человек вокруг меня обзавелись букридерами. Коллега моя недавно приобрела (с возможностью просмотра фильмов и т.п.) и счастлива безмерно. А я по-прежнему в метро катаюсь с толстенными бумажными томами. Вот сейчас оттягиваю себе руки 800-страничным фолиантом романа Дэна Симмонса.
А что, привезите мне из Нью-Йорка шарфик. Пусть не как у Бендера, так хоть как у республиканца. Или кто там в Нью-Йорке, кроме геев, нонеча в почёте?)
Eh.. I was typing my reply.. and uh.. accidently click forward/back.. and now I gotta type it again ( u know how it goes :|)
>> you should really give it a try :)
I dont know why I didnt try it already :). Its already downloaded now .. just gotta read it :)
>> kind of reminds me of Cortazar for some reason...
Whats Cortazar o.O?
>> but I'm not really into club activities
Well eh there aren't any club activities.. lol :p
There is actually a selfish reason for this club though: To give me seinen ecchi manga recommendations to read.
Cuz it's hard to find any seinen ecchi manga.. when ur out of any to read.
Where the 'seinen' applies to the 'ecchi'. So ecchi shit where 'anything' can happen (not just panty shots).
Jiro matsumoto is for example somewhat of a seinen ecchi writer.
And I want to find more of those mangaka!
Anyway I got loads of recommendations now (but not that much time to read lately)..
I filter a bit though.. I have to keep the 'shounen ecchi' out.
And when reading through many 'softporn' seinen/ecchi manga recommendations, I sometimes find a hidden gem. That makes it kind of worth it.
Furthermore I can keep track of what other club members read with the same interests and vise versa.
Anyway .. you can always join for moral support :)
