Portal of SNARK

Just got back from hanging out with Ari and Rhole. It was great. :D We started the evening off with an hour and a half of karaoke (poor Ari was dying from sickness, so she was all hoarse) and then about two hours of random talk at the local namba Gyoza no Oushou. Pulling together a group of X/Final Fantasy/Weiss Kreuz fangirls was a bad idea because we sat around talking and talking and talking until Ari realized she was late to meet up with her friends, and we kind of rushed out in a panic. Good thing that everything is well, and she is on her way back to Tokyo and to work in the morning. *hugs*

Most of our discussions involved wonderful things like Something Awful and their founding of the Internet Anti-Furry Coalition, Canada and their political system (and their silly sports like hockey), how much the Bush Administration is fucking everybody over, but we gave up the mature talk about multi-party political systems and socialism after realizing it was too pretentious and decided a much better topic of conversation for our intellectual ineptitude was fandom.

We shared some thoughts on our first shameful fandoms (Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Weiss Kreuz) and then started talking about how much we loved the X fantards and how we were planning to explode it one day with barrages of bad 4chan humor and clever photoshopped macros. I think we occupied a good hour or so talking about stupid people, funny people, and stupid & funny people, which happened also to be the hour we were talking about the X fandom.

NEWS FLASH: I AM NOT BITTER. NO BITTERNESS HERE.

I think most of my bitterness is actually the kind of bitterness that Maddox or Something Awful might have for the interbutts, so I guess I'm in good company. Anyways, I learned a couple of fun things from Ari, mostly who the X fandom troll Intelekshual actually is (though how intellectual you'd have to be to misspell your own name is kind of an indicator of what kind of shit went on there), and that I really really really ought to avoid Chuunin, instead of just really really ought to.

Note that everything I've basically been making links to here is from LiveJournal. It has now occured to me that maybe I just ought to avoid the steaming pile of internet bullshit known fondly as Fuckin' L.J. (not to be confused with the Californian shithole known as Fuckin' L.A.). I knew that 4chan had taught me something, just not what.

Anyways, Ari, Rhole, and I had moved onto dicussing games where she proclaimed her love for FF7 awesomeness (it was awesome, I do agree), her love for FF6 (which is the best Square game ever, only just a tad ahead of Chrono Trigger), and her belief that Chrono Trigger is the best RPG in existence. I was considering disagreeing on grounds of Fallout, and she was willing to admit debate on grounds of Deus Ex, but I must have been boring Ari because she glanced down at her watch and began panicking.

Funny how time flies when you're talking about everything and nothing? Gyoza no Oushou has become the place for fangirl ranting and general discussion. Ah, cheap Chinese food.

Anyways, after taking Ari up to Umeda to meet with her friends (she didn't trust not to get lost by herself, and hell, I don't trust myself not to get lost in Umeda's maze of underground malls by myself either), Rhole and I hung around for a bit, took some silly purikura (cause that's the only way to take purikura, my friends), some Taiko no Tatsujin, and I showed her my crack (Sangokushi Taisen!) before we parted ways at 11pm. And now I am here, with two papers to read before I go to sleep at night, and it's almost 1:30am. Thanks HP, for nightshifting me. *grumbles*

I am now very tempted to bring my dirty /b humor, my hilarious Jojo sound effects (MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAAAAAAA! and WRYYYYYYYYY!) over to the X fandom, so maybe they can take themselves a little less seriously (like this post). But then I realize that I am taking this entire ordeal a little too seriously too, so I give up and just decide to sit back and write some LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL blog entries, instead of doing what I should be doing.

Prism is coming to visit me tomorrow, and in the evening we will be heading up to Amanohashidate, where there is hopefully a beach, wonderful sightseeing, and where I will get to Mel one last time before she goes back to the States. Prism will be staying with me for the rest of the week (too bad not for Sunday, which is the Tenjin Matsuri date), so maybe some Obi/Maul RP will be happening. She's been awfully stuck on Obi lately.
