I never played adult games so I wouldn't know. Well, I would if I had the bandwidth to download those. But no matter what, I think trying to get children to act like those game characters is already very much a psychological condition. Very much akin to wanting to shoot an AK-47 just because you miss CounterStrike. I'd hate it if I had such a teacher. All the girls in the class wouldn't be virgins anymore T_T;
Oh my God I just realized it's Friday the 13th today. WHOA. I was actually lucky nothing bad happened. Why in the world is Friday the 13th considered unlucky anyway? I heard that it had something to do with Black Friday and the number 13. Speaking of which, I came across this little poem today.
One in Fire Two in Blood
Three in Storm Four in Flood
Five in Anger Six in Hate
Seven Fear Evil Eight
Nine in Sorrow Ten in Pain
Eleven Death Twelve Life Again
Thirteen Steps to the Dark Man's Door
Won't be turning back no more
Those are the Devil's steps. I love it when I read poems like these. Anyway, Happy Friday the 13th! May all your good luck charms work! *touches wood.
I'm not sure what's going on here but the comics seem to be following the course of my life. Every title for the past few strips seem to be relevant to what I'm doing right now. This is freaky. Anyway, yep results don't come without hard work. Though, Tsukasa is really a mirror of me. I always plan but never do it. SIGH. I gotta discipline myself more.
The title literally translates to Yin and Yang. But I think you could also say it's black and white or light and dark. The title probably reflects on how copying is obviously wrong and yet Konata still wants to copy. Oh well. All of us who have been thru school know these sorts of people and have various ways of dealing with them. One of them is to tell them to FO. Another would be to refuse in different ways. Or we could be like Kagamin and let her copy the homework anyway. *shrugs*
Yes. Today's comic really is about different intentions. People usually have some sort of motive to be your friend or to talk to you. It's only normal. I've taken it for granted nowadays. Everytime friendliness comes around it's got to have a reason. But I think that sometimes its okay not to take it too hard. It always is good to kindly accept the good and giving some back by being friendly.
Of course, one still has to be careful not to have to pay dearly for it. I remember this one time when I was approached by a friend from school. I haven't had a chat with him in a while so I thought I'd be a nice guy and be friendly. Apparently he then put his arm over my shoulder, making me think he wanted to pull out a joke or say some pun to cheer me up. Instead, he asked me for a favor. We had a test and he got really crap marks and was afraid his parents would see it. So he decided to ask for mine, change the name on it and show it to his parents. It seemed like an act of mercy at first, but I declined. It seemed, with him honesty wasn't the best policy and it would suck if I was going to be cheated the same way in return in the future. I told him to apologize to his parents and promise to do better next time. Whether he did it or not is another question.
So make sure, you stay an angel, but don't let anyone take advantage of you. It's always your call. Just depends on whether you realize it or not.
For the Japanese, it's Tanabata today! 七夕おめでとう！So go hang your wishes outside on a bamboo stick! For the chinese, its on 26th August, so look out for it! Chinese Qi Xi and Japanese Tanabata are different in the sense that the Japanese people make wishes during Tanabata. Whereas the Chinese know it as a romantic festival, also called Chinese Valentine. The story is roughly the same where a princess from the sky met this cow farmer made the princess's father angry and separated them except for the 7th day of the 7th month. The Japanese celebrate it on 7th July, but the Chinese stick to tradition and celebrate it on the 7th of the 7th month in the lunar calendar. Chinese Valentine is hardly ever celebrated nowadays and it's a diminishing tradition, so everyone please get a bar of Ferrero Roche ready for your girlfriend or crush this season!
Ever wondered how it sucks to have someone who knows a better way of doing something than you do? When that person tells you the error of your ways, sometimes it just makes you feel really stupid. I don't know about all of you but it sure pisses me off. I've just had my first looks at 2 new anime episodes that just aired on Tuesday. Will blog about it in the next post. It seems, this season has got something to offer after all!
LOL. I wonder if it's actually possible that a girl would think about an insect and still happily much away at something that probably looks like a caterpillar. Ewww... If I were Tsukasa, I'll stop thinking about it right away. I guess Konata is okay with these sorts of things tho. I mean seriously if her stomach is that strong, I don't think you'll frighten her with a simply a rubber lizard or anything.
Okay. Here's the lowdown. This is why I want a Choco Coronet so badly.
Well, today is hardly a day with anything interesting. A failed choco coronet hunt actually marks this gloomy day that ended with some rain. Sigh...... However, its always nice to have some hot tea during a cold night and sit down reading Hyperion and/or watching a new series. What's bad is having a lingering feeling that you still got a project with lots of work cut out during the holidays. Oh well, I'm moving past that anyway, with today's coding session. Anyway, as promised, today we shall start with the Lucky Star comics! Today's 4 panels are Konata as a dashing girl!
