\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have many ideas. \u00a0I post once a week. \u00a0Therefore I need to pick one of these ideas to use for a post.<\/p>\n

The problem is, I am not 2DT<\/a>. \u00a0I cannot turn an idea like “sex hair” or “deep penetration” or whatever sex topic he’s talking about these days into a full-fledged post that’s interesting to read and fun to write. \u00a0So while it may seem like I just need to roll a dice and randomly pick one of my drafts to complete and publish, LIFE AIN’T THAT EASY FOR ME.<\/p>\n

And life has been so hard for me recently (what with going to Hawaii and all) that I haven’t had an open Saturday to muck around on the Internet and eventually pick something to write about at 1 am. \u00a0So I decided, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I just wrote ALL OF THEM?” \u00a0And thus this post was born. [1]<\/a><\/p>\n

“Power Levels<\/a>“<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Post stats: 80% complete, 50% satisified.<\/p>\n

I was reading my Railgun manga the other day when I came across one really annoying page<\/a> that goes against everything Railgun stands for. \u00a0The audience wants to see Mikoto kicking some level 2 ass, but the whole theme of the story\/manga is “friendship and everyday life is better than leveling up.” \u00a0Saten comes to the conclusion that powers are cool, but her level 0 self could still help out in important ways. \u00a0The theme is heartwarming and everybody is nice and then you have Mikoto practically scoffing at the low levels of a bunch of thugs.<\/p>\n

Bah! \u00a0Something is wrong here.<\/p>\n

And then I looked around my massive manga medley and spotted Eyeshield 21, a manga where power levels are determined by bench press and 40-yard dash stats. \u00a0And then I thought of >9000 and felt that I could conjure up some more bullshit to add to these three manga and call it a full-fledged post!<\/p>\n

However, when I sat down to write my bullshit, the bullshit became more shit than bull and I ended up with a bunch of nonsense. \u00a0As much as I love nonsense, I’d like my posts to be somewhat readable\/understandable, unlike J159 posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bullshit in question:<\/p>\n

\n

Gintama<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking of BL material, I bet there’s a thousand and one demoknights’ worth of fanart about Gintoki and Jiraiya already. \u00a0The Gintama fangirls are a crazy lot. \u00a0 If fanart is any indication of the fanbase, then Gintama fans would be 99% female. \u00a0And by that, I mean\u00a0each<\/em>\u00a0fan is 99% female, 0.99% male, and 0.01% retard.<\/p>\n

That kind of sounds like the Earth’s atmosphere. \u00a099% Nitrogen, 0.99% Oxygen, and 0.01% I should have googled this. \u00a0Don’t you feel sorry for plants, though? \u00a0There’s 500 times more oxygen than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, so plants must have a lot of trouble breathing. \u00a0If plants were all humans and humans were all plants, we would have a lot of trouble breathing.<\/p>\n

Redwood trees would be basketball players and baobabs would be McDonalds customers. \u00a0Roses would be murderous prostitutes and rafflesia would be big, stinky otaku who sit around all day. \u00a0Mikoto Misaka would probably be Yggdrasil or something because she is essential to the life of every living thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have many opinions about Gintama, but none of them involve Yggdrasil and 0.01% retards. \u00a0So instead of scrapping this work of art or posting this piece of shit, I decided to put the post in perma-draft purgatory. \u00a0Until now that is!<\/p>\n

“Anime Songs that Changed My Life”<\/strong><\/h3>\n

or God Knows…<\/a><\/strong> and Rhythm Emotion<\/a><\/strong> and NICHIJOU<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Post stats: 66.67% complete, 90% satisfied (initially), 33.33%\u00a0satisfied\u00a0(in retrospect).<\/p>\n

Cheesy title deserves cheesy post. \u00a0After a slew of really long posts, I wanted to go back to posting something in the vein of\u00a0Things I Don’t Like About AnoHana<\/a>, where my ideas came across in easily digestible bite-sized chunks. \u00a0And since I was watching lots of ‘God Knows…’ videos on youtube, I thought that a brief song feature would be nice. \u00a0Plus it gave me an excuse to embed a video.<\/p>\n

But what eventually came out was a pile of rancid personal, meta, and unrelated garbage that took up 238 words. \u00a0But I didn’t learn! \u00a0No sirree! \u00a0I took it one step further and wrote 324 words on Rhythm Emotion in an “Extra Post” (something not published on Thursdays!). \u00a0This, too, was a crapfest of personal and meta and NO HUMOR.<\/p>\n

But even then, I still hadn’t learned my lesson. \u00a0I watched the second opening of Nichijou so much that Hyadain practically brainwashed me and forced me to mash his song and my previous two drafts together into one giant monster of a post that would be the lowest point of my aniblogging career. \u00a0Thankfully, I broke free of his control before I managed to type anything about Hyadain Joujou’s bizzare adventure. \u00a0But I’m sure that would’ve also been a mess.<\/p>\n

Half-developed Ideas<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I go to sleep, I hook my phone up with the charger and place it on a desk next to my bed. \u00a0The most important part is that it’s within reach, because I need to put all of the junk I think about on it, lest I forget by the morn’!<\/p>\n

Some of this junk is one line long (see below for that). \u00a0Other bits are more bots than bits and more outlines than bots. \u00a0I’ve never liked writing outlines for essays, and writing outlines for posts is no different. \u00a0But I just have<\/strong>\u00a0to write them down, because Death’s brother always comes to whisk away all the brilliant ideas brewing in my mind.<\/p>\n

Like fancy restaurants offer expensive appetizer sampler plates, I’m going to offer you a sampler of my thoughts. \u00a0This is a journey into my brain, without the $20+ price tag that comes along with the mozzarella sticks!<\/p>\n

Weeaboo Games<\/strong><\/h4>\n

(sorry,\u00a0@fkeroge<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the formspring question<\/a>, there was the tiny note on my phone. \u00a0Before the tiny note on my phone, there was Chantelise. \u00a0I was super excited about Chantelise for no reason at all. \u00a0I had played Recettear, but I thought Chantelise looked like shit. \u00a0After finishing FF7: Crisis Core, I’ve also come to hate hack-and-slash games. \u00a0Chante and Elise aren’t very cute or moe or kawaii and I don’t particularly like them.<\/p>\n

Any way you look at it, Chantelise looks like a game I would really hate to play. \u00a0But I bought it for $9 on Steam and played 6 hours of it. \u00a0The graphics are shit-tier, and I’ve complained about the keyboard controls to many people. \u00a0So the conclusion I came to is: I LIKE WEEABOO GAMES.<\/p>\n

Well, sort of.<\/p>\n

I played Perfect Cherry Blossom and Recettear for a semester, and I just recently played Saya no Uta… but that covers all the weeaboo games I’ve played. \u00a0I haven’t found any of them amazing or surprisingly fun, but I did enjoy them. \u00a0How people manage to play Touhou for so long and get so good at it is beyond me.<\/p>\n

Another thing that’s beyond me is Monster Hunter. \u00a0My friends in high school played it quite a bit, and once I got a PSP last summer, I went out to buy it. \u00a0AND IT SUCKS. \u00a0HOLY CRAP. \u00a0I HATE IT. \u00a0The tutorial is so long and I have no idea what the hell is going on. \u00a0It’s so boring and not the least bit interesting, yet some people<\/a> can play so much of it for some reason. \u00a0Maybe if I completed the twenty-hour tutorial I would understand enough to play the game and finally enjoy it, but I don’t have twenty hours to waste!<\/p>\n

Sai-Electromaster<\/strong><\/h4>\n

(Originally titled “Metablogging Thoughts #1)<\/p>\n

I was pretty excited about the potential of this idea for quite some time. \u00a0A month or so ago, I was talking with J159 (or was it someone else?) about Sai-Mecha and how POINTLESS it was. \u00a0And then I discovered Sai-Retro<\/a>. [2]<\/a> \u00a0And now I’m voting in ISML and following Saimoe.<\/p>\n

The tagline for this post was supposed to be:<\/p>\n

It seems that if you add “Sai” in front of anything nowadays, it becomes a big, heated competition between stuff.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I was going to go on and talk about how the OEG and the Aniblog Tourney could have benefited by changing their titles to SaiOtaku and SaiAniblog. \u00a0It’s sleek and sexy and just weeaboo enough that the aniblog crowd can enjoy it. \u00a0Besides, it sounds cooler.<\/p>\n

But what does ‘sai’ mean, anyway? \u00a0The only ‘sai’ I’ve encountered is the sai at the end of Sumire 16 sai!! and the pair of sai Raphael<\/a> uses.<\/p>\n

This lack of knowledge and my embarrassing lack of really good Mikoto pictures stalled the post until I finally decided that I wasn’t going to become Crazydave<\/a> and browse zero-chan to find the pictures.<\/p>\n

Addiction Levels of Games<\/strong><\/h4>\n

(Or just “Addiction Levels in General”)<\/p>\n

I was typing away at my Vacation post when I realized that my idea of a “anime, games, life, nichijou, etc.” blog was WRONG! \u00a0It has become much more about anime than life, and much more meta than anime. \u00a0Plus there has only been one post on gaming, and it was nothing more than a trollpost from a noob TF2 player.<\/p>\n

To remedy this dire situation, I tried to expand on my ideas in the Vacation post because I didn’t think that faithfully explained how addicting Minecraft is. \u00a0Here’s what I came up with:<\/p>\n

Minecraft: end up mining shit for hours, not even building. \u00a0Exploring caves and going around above-ground and finding lava pools and pumpkins is so fun! \u00a0It’s five-hours-a-day during crazy homework\/exam season fun!<\/p>\n

Breaking point: server gets shut down. \u00a0Nobody is online, either. \u00a0Discover that digging holes in bigger holes (caves) isn’t productive (though making middle-earth is)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I went on to type similar bullet-point-length ideas for WoW, Runescape, Maplestory, and all the shitty games I’ve played in the past. \u00a0And then, satisfied with my handiwork, I read what I’d wrote. \u00a0Instead of conveying the excitement I get from looking at thousands of gray blocks, it seems like I conveyed my desire to look at blocks instead of doing productive work for the rest of my life. \u00a0Instead of showing the exhilarating experience of fishing up Arthas’ gold coin from the fountain after ten hours of clicking one button over and over again, I seemed like a coin-fishing maniac.<\/p>\n

But I guess that’s okay, too.<\/p>\n

I also came up with a ladder of addiction comparing the addiction of different activities to each other. \u00a0It went something like this: \u00a0Minecraft = WoW > Maplestory > Runescape = Team Fortress 2 > Portal 2 >> watching anime >> anime blogging.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that Nichijou is not included under “watching anime.”<\/p>\n

Rich Girls in Anime<\/strong><\/h4>\n

(I need something here for the formatting to work)<\/p>\n

If you’ve been following my blog (the two of you) or if you read my post last week, you’ll notice something strange. \u00a0No, it’s not that I learned how to put these thumbnail-sized icons into posts to look cool, but thanks for noticing that!<\/p>\n

It’s the repetition! \u00a0“Addiction Levels of Games” came up because I talked about the topic in last week’s post. \u00a0“Rich Girls in Anime” came up before that, and it somehow wormed its way into the same post.<\/p>\n

While my phone-noting system has given me a couple of posts in the past, it has given much more off-topic ideas I can cram into other posts. \u00a0I can only think of so many things on the fly, so I need a bank of moderately decently mediumly average ideas I can tap into in order to make an otherwise shitty post even shittier. \u00a0And this is one of ’em!<\/p>\n

Rich girls in anime:
\n– snobby tsunderes (everybody in Hayate)
\n– light-haired ojou-samas, may or may not be yandere
\n– Chiyo
\n– Tsuruya<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As you can see, I did not develop this idea out very far. \u00a0I probably got tired of thinking of stupid ojou-sama types and went to sleep. \u00a0Ojou-sama characters are pretty annoying anyway. \u00a0They have so much money and are so snobby and I want their money, damn it! \u00a0Give me that money that you don’t deserve!<\/p>\n

The typical rich, snobby tsundere ojou-sama goes through a tiny subplot of “I should stop depending on my money.” \u00a0You see it in all sorts of anime, from Golden Boy to your average J.C. Staff RomCom to Code Geass. \u00a0Except Euphemia kills people and Lelouch kills her. \u00a0Did you know that Euphemia is supposed to be SIXTEEN YEARS OLD? \u00a0Yeah, I thought she was 25 too. \u00a0Women these days…<\/p>\n

My friend sent me a physics-related video yesterday:<\/p>\n
