So uh, hi. I'm into the reaalllly obscure and indie-ish animes, because they always seem to be the good ones. And, bitch I swear if you message me being like, "LOL NGE and Gurren aren't obscure, douche bag!", I'm gonna punch a Dung Beetle. The anime on my favorites list are anime I found particularly adept at portraying psychological, philosophical, artistic, or otherwise thought provoking situations, characters and blah blah yeah. They're all kind of the exceptions to my taste, because they are well known for a reason. Otherwise, I like things like Bokurano, which is criminally unknown, and Ghost Hound, which I need to write a review for, yay, okay. Onward.
OH!
Personal Note to Maykipz
I laugh because you say 8 is the most beautiful number and it's OBVIOUSLY 10. I mean...just...just look at it. It's so suggestive and amazing. Yeah, I said it, so what?
Random Blabbering Facts
In other news, my kitten Nada, is cool even though he bites my nose and loves garages and I don't really know why, and my bed set is this piratey, black and gray little kids thing that I just bought with my own money because I just find that the coolest shit in the world.
I like psychological stuff that can make you think and screw you up a lot. Like that one Canadian movie eXistenZ with Jude Law where it's a game in a game in a game in a game, not even freaking kidding and then you still don't even know if it's a game. And it was made before The Matrix so don't ask. Oh yeah, and there's a gun made out of frog bones/skeletons and it shoots teeth and I kinda want it. And you get this hole right at the bottom of your spine and this one guy sticks his tongue in this girl's and that sounds a lot creepier than it is.
So yeah, screw you guy who said that I was a poser and that I didn't actually like obscure things! I don't think you can get more obscure unless you go into really screwed up things like I don't even know. That one thing with the people dressed like scary bunnies and talking about weird existential crap. Yeah...
Oh yeah, another thing is that I'm part of the Bohemian Revolution, so you should become impoverished and tragically talented so you can join me. Because being destitute is okay if it's for ART! (So what I mean by that is that I am really into the Artsy Culture/Aesthetic and I also really like Moulin Rouge a
lot. Because it's a lot better than it sounds.)
I am also a Troper, and if you don't know what that is, then it's time for me to help you ruin your life, as seen
here. But really just start
here
Oh yeah, unimportantly, I'm of the boy persuasion. Though I warn you, I'm quite weird for a boy (or anyone for that matter), and reject all male stereotypes that most boys adhere to with a scary amount of seriousness. I'm an actor and I like musicals. And other 'girl' stuff. Especially not smelling like I-just-woke-up-and-I-stink-but-I-don't-care-so-I'm-going-to-throw-on-a-T-shirt-and-you-just-have-to-deal-with-it-boy. I'm surprisingly not fruity in the least, again, unimportantly. No offense to fruity people, aheh.
Oh, I think it's really important to note that I don't really like Reborn that much except Yamamoto and Gokudera who are a great couple. And it's fun because they correlate in their relationship to me and my very best soul-sister's relationship, so yeah.
I also like Rossiu/Simon, not necessarily in that order. And a whole buncha other slashy things.
Um...I like girls too....Uh, Haruhi/AnotherGirlFromHaruhiBecauseIHaven'tSeenItHa FTW?
I was going to crack a Shinji/Hand joke but I decided against it because most of the oh-tah-koo kids nowadays haven't even seen Evangelion. WHICH REMINDS ME!
Super Special Evangelion 'Whiny' Rant PUUUUUNCH
Yeah, okay, so I had to rant about Eva stuff for a bit because it really pisses me off when I talk to an otaku or general anime lover about classics and it goes like this:
(For the sake of gits and shiggles, random otaku's name will be...Haruhi lol)
HaruhixSailorMoonFRVR.: So yeah, and that's why I love Fooly Cooly [Ivory's Note: I'd need a whole 'nother rant to talk about how you never write out how you say FLCL. And you never say the letters in conversation.]
NaiveEvaSupporter11: Yeah, forget philosophy, the real gems were the funny gags and Mamimi's wonky lips. Anyway, what did you think of Eva?
HaruhixSailorMoonFRVR: Well, it's a classic, but the
characters!
(And at this point I'm agreeing, except for the but)
NaiveEvaSupporter11: What about them?
HaruhixSailorMoonFRVR: Well, they are just so
whiny!! I mean, Shinji gets a freaking giant robot to commandeer; every teenage boy's
dream, and he's all whining and that silver-haired bitch just sits around moping all of the time and being totally cool with walking into a room naked with a fourteen year old boy in it, and there's that German firecrotch who-
NOOOO! I just want to throttle everyone who says something barely thought through like that! I want to throw them into a world where they have to pilot a giant robot against infamous alien creatures to protect everyone they love, all the while worrying about their father, who abandoned them when they were young and now expects them to fight for them and RAAAH. And that German firecrotch has been through more than you ever will. And, and... Ah, it's not even worth it anymore. Point is that Eva's characters are realistic. Not whiny. If everyone would stop looking to Dragonball Z for their anime realism lessons, they'd see that.
Anyway, Blabbering Fact time is over for real now. So message me because I like having stimulation...I mean conversation. With cool people. Bye!
Oh, and I will never...ever except your random friend request. ^^'

Aha yeah, I notice that the smell of cigarette smoke is def less noticeable to me than it is to most people because I'm so used to it...
Er, okay. Hockey, unlike, say, baseball, has what's called a salary cap. At it's simplest, it's basically an allotted amount that each team can spend on their players each season. The Blackhawks ended up going over that, and had to trade off most of their players. Most people agree that, while they were a good team that won the Cup, the fact that they weren't able to keep their players and be a contender this season means that their way of winning was kind of a one-hit wonder, aka a shit way of winning. ...I have a lot of feelings. And no, not Boston, the Red Wings are Detroit.
You better bet I'm a troper, although I try to keep the tropes to a minimum, haha. Um well, I actually have really fucked up headcanon for Arthur, I could go on for days, but I guess it's less him being asexual and more him having a general aversion to sex. Buh idk haha.
Who knows, honestly, Sturgeon's Law, I guess, 90% of everything is utter shit. I should warn you, my fic list has some dubious content on it, and I don't mean that it verges into NC-17 territory (though it totally does). I've had that account for a few years, so some stuff that I thought was AWESOME two years ago is on there, and it's...less than awesome.
Oh British tv recs? I can do that. I don't know what you've seen, but you have to check out Misfits if you haven't already, I love it. Also: Sherlock and Being Human, which people have told me I'd like, but which I'm too lazy to check out.
Dude, totally agreed. I love the Criss, and I've listened to that Teenage Dream cover an embarrassing number of times. And Glee is totally gayer than the worst yaoi series on its worst day, but that's...kind of why I like it? Heh.
And alright, added it to my plan to watch list. We'll see if that means anything, ha.
Eh, yeah, I'm not a crazy advocate of banning it or anything, I actually like the smell of cigarette smoke, and I think second-hand smoking is kind of bs. To each their own, really.
The Blackhawks? Ha. They won the Stanley Cup last year (aka the be all end all when it comes to hockey), but they did it in a shit way, and had to get rid of half their players after the season ended, so they're pretty awful this year. Then again I'm a Red Wings fan, so I hate the Hawks, so...bias.
Ah, no, totally agreed. I actually chose to interpret Eames as being ambiguously gay, and Arthur as asexual. Heh, there has to be a fic out there where Eames is all, "I'm not gay, I'm just British!"
My ffnet account is right here, bro. I haven't been writing much, honestly, I should write something original, I just don't have the time.
I'm...yeah, pretty into the Inception and Supernatural fandoms right now. The Inception fandom scares the shit out of me as well. I actually think JGL was best in Mysterious Skin, if you've ever seen that (and if you haven't...well, you should). I...liked Tom Hardy in Rocknrolla, shit movie though it was? Aha.
Oh and also Glee because I love having a guilty pleasure.
As for anime: nothing. I haven't had the time. I might possibly get something out from the library the next time I go, it's been a while~
Ah yeah, I don't think I'll ever pick up smoking, as attractive as I find it. It seems like people in my family are prone to lung cancer, so, uh, I'm not really peachy keen jelly bean on assisting that in killing me, ha.
Very true about Russia. Once they improve their relations around the world (because, admittedly, they're kind of shit, right now) I don't doubt that they could be a superpower again. And there are definitely some pretty Russians out there, no doubt.
You really should. Hockey rules aren't that hard to understand, and this is coming from a girl who still doesn't get downs in football, or whatever they're called.
Don't we all ship Arthur/Eames? I think it's, like, a requirement these days. I don't really see any of the ~subtext~ that some people insist was there, but I like them together, so it's all good.
Yes, I am still writing them fanfics. Sort of. About as often as I can, which isn't very often, basically, but yes.
Um, not much, honestly, just in school and doing whatever, yanno the norm. How about you?
I'm not a smoker, actually, I find the whole thing gross...but it's really hot when I see someone with a cigarette, and totally pretty when it's in movies or tv shows, or anime. A lot of the characters I like are smokers, idk why exactly.
Hell yeah, I love Russia! I'm already trying to plan a trip to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, I'd love to go there. I even cheered on Russia in a lot of the events last year lol, I'm a bad American, although I love Team USA too!
Man, you have to watch hockey in order to get it. A lot of people don't give it a chance. It's a fast, tough game, there's always action going on, including fights which can lead to much blood (which I approve of). It's probably the toughest sport out there, not counting boxing, I guess. Plus, uh, a lot of the players are sexy or European or both, so.
Anyway, it's nice to hear from you again! :3

Well, dude, I get your point. Fan subs can be horrible. A lot of the times the grammar is so bad I'll check out the subbers site...only to find they're Romanian or French or something, which is fine, but then why are you doing a sub in English? The fact is, I don't have the money to buy official dubs, anyway. I have three anime DVDs, if you don't count my Pokemon ones (I adore the Pokemon dub by the way...haha...I fail). So a lot of times fan subs are the only way I can even see a series, since you rarely find dubs online. Every dub I've seen on television has been subpar. Code Geass made me cringe, the few episodes I've seen of Naruto and Bleach have made me go 'Why, seriously, why?' and I watched all of Death Note's dub, then saw fan subs and found that, regardless of how off the fan subs might have been, I enjoyed the Japanese voice overs tenfold. I know a lot is lost in translation, especially when it's some anime nerd who's taking high school Japanese classes doing the translating. Honestly, part of me wants to learn Japanese just so I can actually watch anime and get it. But, alas, I'm not that nerdy. So I'll stick with my fan subs, wrong as they may or may not be. :3
But yeah, I hear what you're saying. The Cowboy Bebop dub is way better than the original Japanese version. There are exceptions, I guess I just haven't seen a lot of them.
I think that's all one can say about necrophilia. Besides maybe '...ew.' Dude, Christian Bale has a...whoa, did not know that, man. He's really fucking good at hiding it then. Especially if he was able to get a part as the epitome of an 80's American professional.
Oh yeah, that happens to me too! Recently I've been able to find a lot of good movies...at the library. Haha, nerdy I know. But my library has a huge collection, and if I don't have to pay, well, I'm not complaining. Also MegaVideo needs to be...I don't know. But it's terrible. I can watch more than 72 minutes of streming video if I want to, jesus.
Christine Aguilera, Pink, Eve and Lil Kim, you mean. I...uh, really like Lady Marmalade, sorry. But yeah. Uma Thurman is just not hot to me, she looks okay in Pulp Fiction, but otherwise I just really don't like her looks-wise. Great actress, but, eh on the hotness factor, maybe I'm just weird though, I like girls like Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. Well, sure he gets into his characters, and that's great, woo, he's doing his job as an actor. But I've simply never personally found myself going 'Wow, Christian Bale, he did awesome!' except for in American Psycho. Otherwise he's been somewhere between 'that was awful, can I stab my eyes out' (Batman) to 'Eh he was alright, but not as good as the other dude' (The Prestige). You're an actor? 0:
Hakuna Matata! The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie, lol. >:
It is the shit, it's a black comedy so there's death and lulz. It's amazing. Mr. Green is to die for. But there's three different endings, so there's...a good chance the butler did it? :D
Awesome! Some people watch it and tell me it sucked, which does not make me a very happy maykipz. But yeah. Yeah, it's a great movie. I mean, seeing Sean and Norman shirtless is good times. Willem Defoe is amazing as a gay FBI agent (I mean, come on, that needed to happen in some movie, some time). And the Christian themes are epic...even though I'm atheist. I can't believe the first time I saw that movie I was in elementary school, rofl.
Oh, really? DCFC is really a...you hate them or love them. To be honest, I can't really get into their new stuff. Anything from Plans or Transatlanticism, I love, though. It depends on what songs you listened to. Their one of those bands that does a lot of weird things instrumentally so it's hard to get a real feel for their music as a whole without listening to a lot of their stuff, you know? Whoops, DCFC ramble, sorry. xD
Ah, I see. I do fanfiction mainly to try and become a better writer, since it allows me to get feedback on my writing. Plus, although I have original work, I'm a total wuss, it's much easier for people to be critical about characters who aren't mine, I guess. Oh, yeah, Mary Sues, ugh, kill me now. No one wants to read your stupid wish-fulfillment shit...I don't understand how or why people can't get that through their head. |:
God, I know right! The problem I have with dubs is simply this: the majority of them are terrible, especially when they Americanize. When I watch foreign movies, I watch the original versions. It's the same thing with anime. I tend to want to see things how they were meant to be, rather than how a dub company made them be. I don't follow the whole 'dubs are evil' thing, I simply perfer to see the original version. :3
Hahaha, oh. Oh I forgot about that. On my MySpace I have a picture from the movie, when Patrick picks up the nail gun and points it at her head, while she's talking about something. That scene made me die laughing.
Aha, I love his music trivia obsession! Especially since he likes really shitty, commercial artists, like Genesis and what have you. It's such a statement about how obsessed he is with fitting in. And the fact that he'll spout off all this music knowledge and then ask two girls to get it on in the middle is priceless. Necrophilia? Nah, didn't really bother me. In real life, ew god it's fucking creepy. But in a book/movie it's...not real, so I'm okay with it.
I almost always watch movies online, I don't have money to buy them, so if I get a chance I'll check it out there. Especially since it's Canadian. Canadian people are cool, eh? Me too! My mom thinks Tarantino is, and I quote, 'a sick, sick bastard.' That's why I love him! :D The Breakfast Club is probably one of the best comedies out there. Better than anything that I've seen that's come out recently at least. :/
I liked...the Moulin Rouge song with Christian Aguilera? It was hot. >: But yeah, the movie was good, I just didn't really get into it. I'm a tough sell on musicals. I like Sweeney Todd and RHPS and that's about it, unless you're counting Disney/Nightmare Before Christmas. Moulin Rouge was just...yeah, too much, too fast, and I didn't get very attached to any of the characters, and I'm a character person, so... D:
I watched RHPS every day for a week and it became a running monologue in my head, it was crazy as hell. Isn't he though? The first time I watched it I died, because one of my favorite movies is Clue (based on the boardgame, I'll be betting you haven't seen it, no one has) and Tim Curry plays this totally straight laced butler. So seeing him as Frank is absolutely fucking hilarious, when compared to that role. Have you heard MTV wants to remake Rocky Horror? It's disgusting.
Hey, you're welcome. 8D
It's on the YouTube, or at least it was last time I checked. It's extraordinarily hard to find at stores/video stores, because while it has a huge cult following, it isn't a commercially successful movie. But seriously, I could watch that movie on mute, the boys alone are worth watching it for.
I like pretty much every type of music, as long as it's done well. My favorites are acoustic/soft rock, electronica and Celtic rock, but yeah, I can go for absolutely anything, even country if it isn't just about chicks and horses and getting drunk or whatever. How about you? 0:
Yessss, I'm a writer. I mean, not officially. But I've been writing since elementary school, it's pretty much the only thing I'm halfway decent at. Why do you ask? o:
I think the only thing that ever made me lay on my bed in shock for 30 minutes after I watched it was, like, Death Note. But that was just because I was like 'WHY DOES MY FAVORITE CHARACTER ALWAYS HAVE TO DIE?' Because I'm cursed with that. D:
Oh Spike. I wish I could meet a person just like Spike. I seriously grew up with that fucker, since the show was on Cartoon Network. So good.
I'd be the secretary who's in love with him. He never kills Jean either, you know. Oh really? None of that stuff bothered me in the least. I adore gore, and the sex was mostly amusing (I mean, who the hell points at themself in the mirror while doing someone? (Patrick, that's who.) I love the movie, it's the only role Christian Bale has ever done justice (worst Batman ever, if I may), but nothing in it bothered me in the least. I wanted more gore, to be perfectly honest. D:
Oh so do mine. Never heard of that first one. Pulp Fiction is naturally fantastic, it's Quentin Tarantino, he's a god when it comes to film, I just always find myself wishing Uma Thurman was a little more, uh, hot? The best 80s movie is, for me, The Breakfast Club. Cliché as hell, but that's the point, the 80s were cliché, it's perfect. Moulin Rouge is, eh, okay. RHPS is godly, honestly there's nothing better than sitting in a movie theater and yelling at it without getting in trouble, and plus, Tim Curry.<3 Sin City is amazing, it's not over-stylized, if you consider that it's just following the comic it's based on. Man, my favorite movie, by far, is the Boondock Saints. Irish twins, vigilantism, funny as fuck. It's not the best movie ever, lord knows it was a total flop, but it's brilliant nonetheless. :3
Oh, true. It's just that it's still a rather religious song, whether pro or con, and that's not something I would usually even consider listening to.
Right? Because usually it's just some fantastically awesome dude and the girls who fawn. Nah, Clannad's about a rather average guy, who's cool as far as I'm concerned...and the girls who fawn. But the plot is far more intricate than you can even imagine in the beginning. Go for it dude. O:<
Yeah, Gundam...probably not going to ever be on my list.
Hmm, well now you're making more interested in all of them. TTGL has philosophy you say? ...yeah, I'll give that one a second chance. And, yes, Evangelion is a classic, that's the main reason I went for it. It's one of those series that you kind of have to watch, in a way, like Cowboy Bebop, heh.
Yes! I love winning. 8D
O rly nao? Patrick Bateman is like...whoa my gods. I adore him and all his completely fucked up actions. Bret Easton Ellis is my favorite writer, omgz. I don't usually say 'omgz,' but...Bret is good enough that I will.
Must ask: what's your favorite movie/tv show, then? I love discussing shit like that. :3
Oh yeah! Brand New is great. I'm not even religious (quite the opposite, really) but that song still reaches me. Good stuff, dude.
Ah, really? Clannad has really pretty art, even if the eyes are a bit awkwardly...big. It's excessively shojo though. But I don't usually like shojo anime, girl characters tend to annoy the living hell out of me, so the fact that I like Clannad is saying something, I suppose. It's terribly funny at times, as well as really sad at others. I'm not a very emotional person, especially when it comes to anime, but Clannad got to me. It pretty much pwns every other romance anime I've ever seen. 0:
Hmm, alright, I Plan To Watch'd it. It sounds interesting. But it's mecha...I'm not the biggest mecha fan in the world, to tell you the truth. But I'll give it a chance...when I have a chance to do so.
Ah, well, maybe I will. It's partly due to the fact that all of the characters made me want to kill someone. Even in the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzuwhatsit I at least had Kyon to love. In TTGL I was like 'Good lord, you all are so boring/annoying!' I plan on continuing it, it just didn't make a huge impression on me, I honestly didn't even laugh at it once, so...yeah. :/
I watched on episode of Evangelion, yeah! 0: It seemed pretty interesting, but it's mecha-ness sort of bored me, so I kind of didn't pursue it, even though I know it gets really psychological and all, I just had other things I wanted to watch more. But like TTGL, I plan to go back and watch it eventually.
Because...it's something I would do. I'm weird. When people write '8' they do it WRONG, that's why the top circle ends up smaller. It's criminal, making 8 look so horrid. People just need to learn to make it as beautiful as it truly is, is all. |:
...yeah, anime doesn't really go for the whole 'realism' thing all too often. I see you like TTGL. I watched like one episode and found myself epicly bored. -__-
Yes, but if add 1 + 0 it = 1, which is an odd number, which is just...ew. And 8 is perfectly symmetrical. So it automatically wins. Because it's perfect. Advantage, Maykipz. ;D
I have, unfortunately, been without computer since about April. D:
So, yes, communication is working, sorry that it totally wasn't before.
Sup wit choo? :3
And dude, 10 is so not better than 8. Where's the beauty in double digits? It may be suggestive, but it just ain't beautiful. At least it's even, though, if it was an odd number I'd be ranting. |:
