/jp/ - Otaku Culture

it's such nice weather out.
I just got done with a midterm (didn't too very well) but didn't matter. It was wonderful.

Walking home just felt so nice. I could tell spring was in the air! I bumped in to an old friend I knew from high school. We had a nice little chat.

Then I came on /jp/ and here i'll stay until i go to bed tonight

I'm playing Mahjong on Tenhou against the computer.

>>465000
holy shit you can play against the computer? I never knew that.

That would have been excellent practice

I'm screwing around with Artificial Girl 3... will finish the Kohaku route sometime tonight. So its going to be a pretty sad but fulfilling night.

Planetarian guy here, still playing...

The weather was nice compared to the other days so I just got back from going around town. Planning on playing more of Ever17 tonight.

today there was this girl that was supossed to come over my place, she had to pose for me, so i could take some pictures for my photografy class.

but she never came, she called me at 7pm tellin me is she could still come to my place. sure, just get back in the past and bring some fucking sunlight bitch. now i dont have my photografy homework that is supossed to be delivered this friday.

so no, its not a happy day for me, my cousin rejected to pose for me, she had something else to do she said. this fuckin sux, i have no one else to ask for this shit.

Its nice out, I might take a walk and come back and read a book.

I'm going to rewatch Totoro with my imouto in a minute. God she's so cute.....

Had a casual job interview, raged a bit over my shitty internet connection today, watched Allison & Lillia ep. 2, and my Hare+Guu finally finish downloading.

I fail to start UBW, because I don't feel for Fate/Stay Night for the time being.

/jp/ made me start Mabinogi shit, got to level 27 and stopped playing it. I only get back on once a week to see my loli grow into a woman.

Melty Blood, I see more people starting off with loli characters against my Satsuki. I really want to beat the little girls.

All in all, I'm just ronery. ;_;

faaaaaaaaaaaaaags

I'm creating a list of dramatic threads from 2channel and planning trolling strategies for /jp/ this night, so it's all good.

One of good ways to find drama on 2ch is looking for 糞 or 死ね in thread titles.

Only Colombia wished me a happy birthday ;_;

being "normal" is one thing, being aware of one's negative/annoying sides and not doing anything about them (or ignoring the reality altogether) is another

I used it to practice.

I did my electronics test today so I can relax for a while, I'll probably start UBW.

its so nice outside. i got some laughs outta people when i talked to them at college today. I woke up early feeling good. someone complimented a drawing of mine and i responded politely in return and we had a polite conversation with smilies and despite the aching cheesiness of it all which i would have normally raged... i smiled.

being "not normal" is one thing, being aware of one's negative/annoying sides and not doing anything about them (or ignoring the reality altogether) is another

>>465130
i've had that...some reason it doesnt wnat to work for me...

I got a major performance patch committed today, finished my history paper, and have the night off.

Today is a good day.

I worked all day today. I'm a security guard. I work outside all day patrolling a parking lot. I got sunburned today pretty bad, I am going to feel it on the morning. I found out they are extending my work hours starting next week. I have mixed feelings because I already work 8 hours and its 2 hours each way commute due to the shitty nature of the St Louis Metro system. I am smoking a cigar and debating whether or not to play some Touhou before I go to bed.

>>465121
He was trolling you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANONYMOUS

I will be your tripfriend 4evar

I'm not having the greatest night, but it's not bad really. I'm a little bummed that I have a Kanji quiz tomorrow night that I haven't studied for, and that the accounting test I had yesterday will result in a less than pleasing grade (which I'll most certainly receive tomorrow morning) that will drop my class grade from an A to a B, which will then drop my gpa from the 4.0 I've been holding for 2 years to a 3.92. Yes, the weather is very nice (here in San Diego) because it cooled off a bit from the record highs over last week (it was reaching 94). I went running earlier because I felt lethargic and depressed and needed my endorphin rush. I didn't really get high off it but it normalized me and I worked on a couple papers with the newfound motivation. But I don't have friends irl and no one that I know online is actually online right now so I don't have anyone to talk to. That wasn't very happy. I'm sorry.

I recently installed IaMP again and messed around with getting CowCaster so I could play online. I was able to play with one of my friends via the Standby command, but now I'm trying to host.

I am working on a huge art project in my independent projects art class. spent the whole class spreading Spackle Paste on a 7' x 7' wooden board (I'm going to carve a design into the paste and the thick layer of acrylics below). even though I spent a long time doing repetitive spreading, I actually enjoyed myself. I have a good feeling about this project.

Before now, I was watching episode 10 of ZSZS. Pretty good episode, but definitely no episode 7.

tl;dr
Touhoufag, Spackle, Dispair.

>>465138
after hanging out here too long, being polite on the internet feels really good.

>>465162
Why not start studying, like, now?

I'm working for a calculus test tomorrow. Green's theorem, divergence, rotation, etc.

I'm working through my ancient greek textbook.

και σου, τεκνον?

I have some simple assignment due tomorrow that I should be starting

However the biggest thing with me right now is that I have the option of handing in a big assignment early for some extra credit on my final grade...however I have not started on that at all and the extra credit dead line is this friday...

>>465198
Since this is a polite thread let us assume that FAGGOT means "respectable gentleman".

Currently listening to my NicoNicoDouga FLV and Youtube MP4 rips while I crash on /jp/ right before setting up my school's Battle of the Bands contest. No weeaboo bands tomorrow; thank god. Latin tests aren't in sight for a while.

>>465174

I have so little motivation for school. How I've kept a 4.0 up until now is amazing. The only reason I might lose it is due to the accounting class having 4 tests and basically nothing else to count towards the overall grade.

But yea, total lack of motivation and being tired / depressed is kinda why I'm not studying right now. I've been learning Japanese for about 3 years, two of which at college, and the idea memorizing kanji right now is just horrible. I'll do it tomorrow and I'll get an A on the quiz, so it'll be ok.

Today I started playing Love Death 2 and had one heck of a blast. The engine is pure shit, won't let you strafe and lets you clip through walls if you do something unusual like "walk backwards" or "turn". BUT OH GOD THE CHARACTERS ARE FAPTASTIC

I'm feeling great. I don't have to go to college tomorrow nor friday. I just got myself a girlfriend, who doesn't have a pretty face but at least shares my likes and dislikes, but I changed my friends for her... Yeah, I broke the "bros before hoes" vow, but they're just as ronery as I was.

>>465235
In all honesty thats a pretty low thing to do.

Enjoy your inevitably failed relationship.

Today was a great day. I woke up early, played the trial version of 3D Custom Girl, and proceeded to cum buckets. Then I spent about 5 hours alternating between /jp/ and /r9k/. Then I made some popcorn with lots of butter. Then I fapped again. Then it was back to /jp/ for a brief update on the good threads, and then I took a nap. After that, I woke up, had Mexican for dinner (shrimp enchiladas, yum) and then played some PoFV online. Total stats for the day:

Times fapped: 2
Trolls vanquished: 4
Enchiladas eaten: 3

All in all, it was a highly enjoyable and productive day.

>>465256
>played the trial version of 3D Custom Girl
Pretty good, ain't it?

Pity the animations don't really loop properly. The customisation's incredible though.

>>465235
>doesn't have a pretty face but at least shares my likes and dislikes

protip: if your relationship doesn't have physical attraction to start with, it never will.

>>465235
>I broke the "bros before hoes" vow

You are a disgusting little man.

>>465271
i beg to differ.

it's only once you have go to know a girl really well that you realise you can actually look past looks. Of course, they have to at least presentable and not fat. But I'd take a girl who shared my interests and was average over a hot airhead any day of the week.

I tried applying bestskinsever skins to my PSP. Yesterday's attempt didn't turn out great, there were very noticeable micro air bubbles because my dish soap is gay.

Spent a lot of time trying again today. The air bubble from yesterday left residue that I couldn't get rid of. A lot of water also got into the PSP itself and the screen started fogging up from the inside. Fuck. $10 down the fucking drain for the skin, and my PSP is potentially fucked.

Other than that, I had a pretty normal day with a high-normal mood.

Just finished some Calculus and Chemistry exercises, and now I'm gonna play some Warriors Orochi because I love button mashing. I'm also having some tea with cake. Oh, and listening to that Petrolz release that's on Jpopsuki. Quite a good day, so far.

>>465314
>tea with cake
Awesome.

Where are all the Momusu fags?

I spent a lot of time on /jp/ yesterday due to BOKUSATSU. That was great. Today was more work-oriented, though, finals coming up.

Let's see...I think that I'm going to go play some Danger or maybe some old-skool David Bowie at house-shaking volumes while cooking dinner, then I'm going to settle down for a nice night of either writing or replaying Final Fantasy XII on my new bigass TV.

What the hell am I doing here, again?

>>465280
>it's only once you have go to know a girl really well that you realise you can actually look past looks.

"looking past looks" still means you're not attracted to them.

>>465326
right here

i can't play it though, because my roommate bitches when I play the shitty foreign stuff. It's really the only thing that lets him know i have a power level though

>>465274
>>465271
>>465250

I was so tired of beign ronery, that I don't care. I'll just enjoy the good times I'll have and then, when she dumps me, I will go back to beign ronery again.

>>465338
Well I speak from experience when I say the attraction grows. There is of course something initially there, I'm not talking about ugly girls here, I'm talking about plain girls.

I think you are a girl yourself though, only a girl could be so shallow.

>>465345
Why dont you watch some subbed episodes of that show with the Momusu girls you guys like?

Also, what is the attraction in Momusu, is it more learning about the girls themselves or the music?

>>465352

did she make you give up your friends?

>>465354 here btw, I think you should understand that whatever relationship you are ever in, a girl will never supplant your friends. I have 3 friends, 2 of whom are terminally ronery. All 3 are loyal to the core and I could count on them in ANY situation.

>>465270
Indeed. Playing dress up with it is as fun as the actual sex. My only real complaint is that the way the boobs are shaped, small ones don't look right. So DFC isn't really an option. But that's OK, since big boobs are fine to. I'm looking forward to exchanging jewgolds for the full version. And then it will only be a matter of time before some enterprising elevens create a Touhou mod for it.

>>465354
>only a girl could be so shallow
isn't it usually more common to see girls with less attractive boys than it is the opposite? ive found that girls talk shallow outloud but guys tend to be more actively shallow.

>>465354

Neg, I'm a guy. And it may be shallow but you're kinda a minority here: most people (guys and girls both) can't be happy in a relationship with someone who they aren't physically attracted to.

>>465370

No, she didn't. My friends got mad at me because I stopped hanging out with them and I started to hang out with her. Then they started to speak bad things about me and mocked my girlfriend.

So, that's it.

I finished some laundry and now I'll do some homework until about midnight, then I'll take a shower, then study for a exam on Friday. After that, depending on how tired I am I'll either play Touhou or Fate. I slogged through Rin's explanation of magic crests and shit yesterday, normally I enjoy useless background tidbits but it felt like she wouldn't shut up. There was a nice tsundere moment at the end, though.

>>465387

That's not what I said, I said an embryonic initial attraction to someone plain and average can develop if you share things in common.

Dont be a dick and fag up this happy thread.

>>465381

That's somewhat true. I dont necessarily think girls are more shallow, just that they infer more from good looks.

Guy sees a good looking girl = "wow she is hot, i'd love to fuck her"

Girl sees a good looking guy = "wow he's hot, I bet he's really charming, charismatic, intelligent and kind too, and if he isn't i'll just stick my fingers in my ears and pretend he is."

>>465359
me, I don't like the music all that much. Sure, some of it I can listen to somtimes...but I just like them (the older ones at least).

Its not so much "learning about them" as it is kind of..."hanging out with them." so to speak. A lot of things they do on those shows are things that you wish you could do (or not...) but they all joke around as if it was a real conversation.

Kind of brings up a ronery thread talking about watching momosu as a substitute for friends, but if you watch the things, you kind of "get to know them" like you would get to know your friends.
The same thing kind of happens with VNs, now that I think about it....

>>465418
haha, ok yeah I'll agree with the infering thing.

>>465418
>Dont be a dick and fag up this happy thread.

Sorry, didn't realize telling the truth = being a dick.

>>465436
Indeed, notice how evidence to this is born out by the fact that some girls believe in 'love at first sight', I mean, who honestly believes in that shit?

>>465418
This anon is right about the girl thing.

>>465447
well i think you are just twisting my words a little, that's all.

>>465431

Who is your favourite member and why?

>>465457
Actually girls are quite good at that regardless of whether the guy is attractive or not.

>>465475
that's a tough question. I've been through phases.
When I first got into MM, it was through Minimoni. I didn't even know MM and minimoni were connected at this point. I liked Mari Yaguchi, because she was the funniest, talked the most, and seemed to have a lot of personality. But then I got turned on to Kago Ai, for similar reasons.

I started watching more videos on youtube, and I couldn't get enough of Takahashi Ai (when she was younger at least. She's different now) I liked her because I thought she seemed to be the one who was kind of "different" (having a fukui accent and all...)

It was at this stage that I started learning about all the members rather than just the few that I knew. That's when I found out about Yoshizawa Hitomi. Something about her just struck me as being awesome. I wanted to know who she was when I saw Kanashimi Twilight, because she looked like she kicked so much ass. So I saw her on Ayaka's Surprise English Lessons, and I loved her personality on it. She never hated it, and actually seemed to enjoy it sometimes, and loved to joke around.
She's kind of a tomboy, so they say, but I think it's charming.

Right now I can't really say who's my favorite. Still probably Yossie, but as I watch more of the new kids' things, I kinda like Junjun and Aika, but differently...it's hard to explain

>>465490

I'd say they are more likely to infer shit like that if the guy is good looking. It's because girls have a template in their mind of the perfect man and constantly sleep their way through tens if not hundreds of men to 'find' him. But this 'perfect man' is a hollywood myth, no one is perfect, everything has their quirks, irritants, flaws etc... that make them human. The belief a 'perfect man' exists is why we see so many single women in their 30s these days.

>>464976
That picture doesn't describe me at all

Not white, wasn't born in Japan but close enough, currently living in Amerikkka

What kind makes me sad is that the shit that you see in slice of life animu (school rumble for examaple)...I've lived all of it before coming here

School, friends and classmates within walking distance? Check
Public transportation to go out? Check
Sports festival, student council, etc? Check, I was actually class president for several years
Friends' parents working various jobs like random shops and stuff that you can actually visit? Check

Then AMERIKKKA!!! shit grades, no lasting friends in highschool, no friends at all in college, grades sucked at first due to language, but too much gaming killed my motivation for studying even after my English developed

Shitsux

>>465500
I see a whole lot of girls going out with pretty fugly guys. In fact most of the attractive girls I knew back in highschool went out with guys that were not very good-looking. Girls are stupid and easily wrapped up in fantasy.

>>465499
any subbed shows I could watch of theirs to start off?

>>465529
starting off is tough because there's so many to "get to know"

A lot of things they have on Utaban was pretty good. That's where most of it is. But I don't really like it for some reason.

I definitely absolutely loved the specials they did with Okamura. (Idiot Girl, Sports Festival, Field Trip)
I recommend watching Okamura's Field Trip Special. It more or less introduced me to everyone (from 4th gen, i think...) and I could tell them all apart, plus Okamura is just a fucking awesome guy in himself.

I'm 36, single, I'm trying to sell my house and go back to college, but that is looking less and less likely every day. I'm about ready to /wrists, because my roommate fucked my entire life.The lists of things I did to help him out is extensive, the reciprocation, minimal. Hell, a couple times he talked shit on me behind my back, and ruined my reputation to the point where I don't want to live in my hometown any more.

>>465527
>Girls are stupid and easily wrapped up in fantasy.

Guys aren't?

>>465546
care to elaborate? I hate my roommate too

>>465558

girl spotted.

>>465546
yeh, please do elaborate on this.

I'm guessing he exposed your power level?

>>465561

Actually, no. It sucks to much to think about.

>>465583

I'm guessing he bummed money.

My motivation for school is at an all-time low, and it was never very high to begin with. I'm a senior in my hardest semester, but I honestly don't care most of the time. Yesterday I took a law test, my only studying was reading through my notes once. They weren't even my notes because I pay someone else to take notes for me while I skip class. I'm probably going to get my first B ever this semester.

I finished Arcueid's routes yesterday and got to about day 9 or 10 on Ciel, so I am going to finish that tonight and probably start on Akiha's.

I might start learning katakana tonight, but I doubt it. I feel inspired because I was looking at some untranslated hentai and I wanted to be able to read it. Since I know hiragana now, I know what kind of moaning sounds they are making.

You know what's the worst thing about reading threads like this

It's like you kind feel like there are so many people like you out there...yet it also feels like you'll never meet them

We should all chip in and buy an island and establish our own country

>>465574
ironically, the girl was >>465527

>>465586

Let it out anon, we /jp/sies are friends to one another at night, then when the dawn comes we start trolling again.

>>465583

That too. But I've always been a science-tard, so that didn't actually hurt nothing. No, most of the worst problems he caused cost money, which is why I need to sell my house to afford college.

>>465596

A country of recluses?

Well, alright

>>465596
very, very true...
such is the blessing and the curse of anonymity. you guys sure as hell woudln't know i'm such a momosu-wota unless i get to be anonymous

of course, if we started a country, our kind would die out. there'd be no girls to populate our island with

Playing Warcraft 3 with my friends. I mean, I would prefer to be doing something else (Warcraft 3 sucks specifically and most video games suck), and with other people (my friends are somewhat stupid), but I'm content at the moment anyway.

Got to sleep in because my first lecture started at noon, went to class, got work done at the computer labs on campus, came back, fapped to a good SaberxGilgamesh doujin, went to the gym, and had dinner + a shower. Now, I'll probably make some tea and watch an episode of some j-drama, before studying for an o-chem quiz that's tomorrow morning.

Decent day, overall.

>>465596
i only really act like "anon" when im on 4chan though. it only makes me more ronery knowing i wouldn't fit in with you guys even if we all met...

>>465623
>most video games suck
Not one of us

>>465544
thank's I'm going through Ayaka's surprise english lessons at the moment, they're quite funny.

>>465633

We should really organize something

Look at Health&Fitness, they got that sticky going and it's actually really impressive

>>465634

I pretty much agree, though. I don't own any of the new consoles and the only games I play are Touhou, Melty Blood and visual novels. I feel like I've grown out of video games.

>>465642
best way to "get acquainted with them"
that was a big one for me that got me into Kago Ai.
However, they don't get everyone in enough during Ayaka's lessons.

It's a great intro! But you'll be missing out on some of the cooler people too

>>465651

I've never really felt that way.

Enjoyed Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, NWN2: Expansion and a few others last year. Looking forward to Fallout 3 this year, GTA4 and a few others.

>>465654

Ok, i'll check out a few of the other ones you mentioned on veoh too, thanks for the advice.

i must not have seen the sticky, and i dont think it's up anymore...what was it about ?

>>465672
Perhaps.

I'm mainly pissed off that Dragon Age has been pushed back to a early 09 release. Though at least the release date is concrete now. I could see this being the best wRPG since Baldurs Gate 2 to be honest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Age

>>465676
I'm waiting for the chronicles of spellborn, aion and okami wii. TCOS for the awesome skill system and lack of grinding, aion for the flight (though they took out something awesome: rain? fireball does less damage, lightning does more, etc), okami because I never got to play the ps2 version and the celestial brush will be fuckwin.

Pretty ronery today, pretty much talked to no one

Today the writefag 'group' I run met up today. We discussed Cirno. Someone asked 'where my bathroom' was. And returned 10 minutes later. He said he took a shit.

Was exciting.

>>465674

They used to have a thing where people posted some ideal weightloss wahtever they were aiming for and would post progress pics with face edited out

Something like that

>>465162
>Yes, the weather is very nice (here in San Diego)

Oh fuck, I live in San Diego. Do I know you?

>But I don't have friends irl

oh nvm

>>465710
i'm having trouble figuring out how we could do something like that...
post pictures of ourselves giving thumbs up on certain levels on touhou? pictures of us during a 'scene' in an eroge? I can't see it happening here

I don't play the videogames I used no play. No more shooters or RTS... nowadays it's only visual novels and RPG, usually in raw moonspeak. At least I'm learning something.

>>465710

dont know about that but i've started jogging recently, 15 minutes for the first three days, then 20 minutes for the next 3 days and so on.... I'm up to half an hour now. I'm going to cap it at 40 minutes. Can already notice a difference in my health.

how is everyone's sisters today?

>>465732

I dunno, last I heard she had food poisoning. She also went to an opera drunk. No appreciation for the fine arts these days.

For exercice fags, I recommend kendo. Perfect for a weeaboo and it's 2 hours of VERY intense activity, twice a week. At least at my dojo it is.

>>465736
Interesting.... I went to see Figaro a couple of weeks ago.

How old is she?

>>465742

21.

>>465732
Mine just got accepted in college, but I haven't seen her since last christmas.

>>465738
I did kendo for a few weeks. Fucking ridiculous time commitment.
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
4:30 - 7:00 PM
Fucking ridiculous. 3.5 hours a day, 4 days a week.
All with weeaboos. I can usually handle them, but these were assholes.

There was one cute japanese girl who was in it, but she KICKED MY ASS every time, so I didn't really like talking to her...

Quit that shit once I got my sword

>>465732
Asked me to set up a tent for her. I did. She said thanks.

>>465732
shes at home probably sleeping. we're usually inseperable but now that im at college i miss her ;_;

>>465757
either:
twins/gay(good sister relation)/WINCEST

>>465738

Joggingfag here. I'll probably start that soon, but I want to get up to a good level of stamina before I start through cardio exercise.

>>465759
twins.

>>465757

older or younger?

Also, we brotherfags were discussing on another thread how you sisterfags are probably happier in life because you have sisters, not out of any incestuous desire but because sisters tend to be either a) sweet and nice if they are younger, b) dependable and concerned about you if they are older. Is this true?

it was so warm today, maybe i'll try jogging too. or walking the dog since it'd be doing everyone else a favor too.

>>465774
i've heard similar things about the older sister, but i've heard the younger ones are just annoying bitches

When you think about it it's pretty funny how VNs etc. have shaped our view on incest. On /jp/ hooking up with your sister is widely considered awesome.

>>465750
That's unlucky. There's not a single weeaboo at my kendo club (well except me I guess) and everyone's very friendly.

>>465775

Join me anon. We may be thousands of miles away (I'm a Londonfag) but at least you know there is another anonymous out there struggling along with exercise just like you.

>>465783

I have an older sister, was a bitch to me growing up, pretended to care about me when I was independent and she was still living at home. I see through her lies.

>>465774
being the same age and having most of the same experiences we just basically agree about nearly everything. The kind of relationship where we could at any time look at eachother and laugh and no one would know.

Sisters are indeed superior. brothers tend to be violent and mean.

>>465796
perhaps violent and mean in the younger years, but my brother and I get along kind of like what you say you do with your sister.
He's 3 years younger than I am, still in high school, and I'm in college, but we get along really well.

>>465795
maybe she does care about you?

dont throw away a good relationship.

>>465796
any hope of wincest?

i have to say that i'm really interested in the OP's image.

i have two cousins who are siblings, the 8 year old is a boy and the 3 year old is a girl.
on the topic of good things, it was so cute seeing them get along today. I hope they stay that way mostly.

>>465783
When they're young yes. Probably if someone played with his younger sister a lot, had similar friends, etc. there could be a better relationship, but if you have a very different personality from your sis in my experience the war starts easily.

Things get smoother when they get old enough, say 15-16.

>>465813
As much as i like her, i couldn't even think of it. yeahyeah i know, but seriously in reality i can't even pretend to like the idea.

siblings seem to get along better once their moved out of the house. I have a much better time with my sister now that I only see her once a week.

>>465796
I have two brothers and a sister, I'm the oldest. Yeah, one of my brothers is a wigger and the other is in kindergarten so he isn't lost yet. My sister is 11, we don't really have conversations, but we don't have fights either so I guess we get along pretty well.

The people I genuinely feel sorry for are people who fall in love with their sisters - not out of any pedophilic desire etc... but genuinely fall in love, like... they are only one in ten thousand probably... That must be really hard to cope with.

today I was supposed to have a class at my driving school, but I found out after I got there that my instructor had been fired and my class had to be rescheduled. after that I unsuccessfully tried to convince the only friend from high school I still talk to to play starcraft with me. right now my goals are sorting my porn and getting the motivation to go to college in the fall.

Χαιρει?

Fuck yeah, just got into a quad doorm room for next year. Especially awesome considering sophmores have a tendency to get screwed in my school's room draw. (Colby)

>>465891
>room draw
Would you mean to say "drawing room"?

>>465796
>brothers tend to be violent and mean.
Older sisters can be that way too.

>>465924
Girls tend to be more underhanded.

>>465924
with older sisters it can just be excused as tsun-tsun though. And when they are dere-dere, my god, are they dere-dere....

>>465939

Yeah, when I end up with broken bones because of it I tend not to think of it that way.

>>465951

well then your sister is a psycho.

just hit her back.

>>465951

I'm quitting my job tomorrow, so that's pretty good.

I had ramen for lunch with some people today, a decent day at work, and got 6 mangos for 12$ at Book-Off on the way home, so I'm pretty happy.

That and I just finished a bag of habanero snacks (when did they change their packaging?) and I do love habanero snacks.

I am going to a weeaboo con next month in Cannuckstan. I'm expecting a devoted group of touhou fans and good cosplayers up there. It will be good con this year.

>>466050
I expect alarming, muggy East-Coast weather like last year. How do you people stand it? It was muggy in MAY.

I have to go to work in six hours, haven't slept yep. I was going to study some Japanese before I went to sleep but I wasted my time here instead. I fucking hate my life.

>>465054
yeah now im happy cause im talking with this exgirlfriend after months, and she is the best person to talk after a bad day. i dont know why the hell im not with her anymore, it must be because its about 5 years from we broke, and we were 1 year and a half together, when we were in school... such good times...

>>466063

Not sure, last year's weather in Toronto was partly cloudy. Which east coast region are you talking about?

>>466094
I'm talking about last year's AN. It was fuckmuggy. From a West Coast frame of reference.

>>466106

I don't know what to say about Toronto's weather. From what I know, I'm expecting the temperatures go up as high as 20 degrees next month. Are you going to AN this year?

>>466116
It's not the temp, it's the humidity. And yeah, I'm going.

great thread, much better than the ronery threads of late.

I vote for happy threads to become the new flagship thread of night time /jp/.

>>466078
I am where you were three years ago at the same age.

>>466122
Homeland Security

>>466121

AN's pre-registrations and updates have been slow this year. But things will look better once Doll North sets up and my hotel reservation stopped being snobby and work it out of their ass.

Yeah, things are looking up next month.
>>466130

Seconded. Something new for a change.

>>466156
I got in on a group rate, so somebody else took care of all that. I haven't booked my accommodation yet, but I'm probably not staying near the con as it isn't my primary motive for flying over there.

>>466184

Travel?

I created:
01:39 <1> Were I not utterly sick of translating and not quitting, I would be tempted to at least make detailed summaries of it.
01:39 <2> ... wait unlimited F-14 works
01:40 <1> Actually, I think EvoSpace has some summaries of it.
01:40 <2> Rider
01:40 <2> True Name: Maverick (True Name: Tom Cruise)
01:40 <2> Heh.
01:42 <2> "Tch, he's just an asshole. His fighting skills are nothing better than a barroom brawler. His reaction time is good, and he sings will, but that alone--"
"Revvin' up your engine\Listen to her howling roar\Metal under tension\Beggin' you to touch and go" "!!" "Highway to the Danger zone--" "RREALITY MARBLE?!"
01:42 <2> *JDAM'd"

>>466205
Well yeah, I do like to travel. I'm also saying hi to some acquaintances.

>>466287
You pretend to be poor on the internet.

I got out of the military a few months ago and I am just now trying to learn what it is to be an independent human being that actually has to be productive for his own sake and not some one else's.

I've pretty much been spending the last few months of my life living off unemployment in seclusion and being about as lazy as one would picture a hikikomori being.

I was on anti-depressants in the last year and a half I was in the military and haven't applied for veteran's medical support yet, which basically means I have been off drugs since my EAS and will be for many months to come.

I honestly just hope I can consistently keep a habit of doing what needs to be done rather than sitting here in a state of loathing, hoping to disappear.

>>466300
That doesn't sound very happy...

>>466310
In many lights it isn't, but at least I'm aiming to turn things around.

fucking Blogging on /jp/

>>466300
Your shit life makes my shit life seem less shitty. Thanks for the post.

>>466314

>>466300

Is military service a marketable skill in civilian
workplace/career?

>>466337
Highly sought after job candidates when they have a honorable discharge.

>>466337
Yeah.

I mean, I make myself sound fairly hopeless but there's ample opportunity for me to make something of myself. I just need to get off my ass and actually do something.

>>466343
>I just need to get off my ass and actually do something.

And then keep on doing it. You made it sound like that was the hard part, which I agree with.

Whenever a republican is in office, America gets depressed, and whenever a dem is in office, America gets hope for the future, and the world seems safe enough to have a family that won't be dead in 2 years. If we're lucky, McSellout will continue to fail as hard as he has been.

>>466343
>>466341

But which fields of work though? The only field I can think of is Law enforcement. I want to know more, please elaborate.

>>466347

Man, it's true. I got so jaded during Bush's two terms, then when Obama showed up out of nowhere, I actually got hopeful that America could pull itself out of its ditch and actually become respected again. I know I'm naive but damn I fucking love Obama.

>>466355
If you can get through the armed services you can work just about anywhere in Corp land Get your head out of your ass because you don't know shit about the military services or their training.

>>466347
you'd rater have poll's closed obama?

>>466357
LOL I am not voting for no nigger and most people won't but the News Media already elected him President, I LOL at you fools.

>>466357
Why do you love Obama? Is he really that different from the other guy?

>>466355
Law enforcement or any number of jobs specifically related to the function the person performed in the military.

For myself I could be in a leadership/management position due to past experiences having to be a crew chief. I could also get into jobs related to air traffic control, police/fire dept. dispatching or radio operation.

And while I really don't think I'd like the job, I do have a lot of experience dealing with things related to law enforcement, security and/or watching a post.

>>466366
>I am not voting for no nigger

So you're voting for Obama then?

>>466374
Obama is a Nigger, his dad was a nigger.

>>466366
This is quite possibly the most white trash post I've ever read.

>>466370

How did you get into the Armed forces?

Obama is Vladimir Lenin's reincarnation.

>>466396
Huh?

>>466398
If you didn't get it then you never will.

Maybe Trotsky would be better? He was a Jew.

>>466388
Protip That may be. However we out number you; so you don't really matter much do you.

>>466366
The News Media doesn't elect people, dumbass.

Diebold does ;_;

>>466389
With the depression and all that? I was in a state of denial up until about halfway into my contract. I knew I was always depressed but I figured it was something everyone just had and dealt with.

I had many reasons to join but one could say that amongst all of the reason I was actually dumb enough to think that by joining the military I would somehow overcome the issue altogether.

>>466398
"Peace! Land! Bread!" But he will give you nothing. Either he will be malicious and destructive, which is bad, or ineffectual and diffident, which is possibly worse.

I hope for McCain as a kind of Nixon, because only he will be able to go to the China that is the War on Frightfulness.

>>466413

The issue of your depression?

>>466424
You mean the economy's, right?

>>466424
Yep.

Recruiters sell a lot of lies and bullshit, amongst their many lies are the lies that somehow joining the military will magically bring about self esteem and motivation.

>>466421
You don't actually want him elected. He sold too much of his soul, and now he's feeling it. He might snap and try to get his soul back, and that might take millions of lives. Besides, democrats offer a better package.

>>466442
Really? So you must not have ANY money and no job then.

>>466429

Not the first time I've heard a recruiter telling me about motivation. What did you do throughout your military service?

>>466455
I went through boot camp and then learned the job of helping coordinate with infantry over a radio in order to provide them the air support they needed, (bombs dropped, food supplies, medical evacuations etc.)
I then spent three years in Japan, which was both incredible and also very depressing. I had many awesome times there, while at the same time the work environment was incredibly depressing. Much of the time the people I worked with along with myself were forced to stay on base due to the notoriety members of the US military have in Japan. When not restricted to base however, I had enjoyed life thoroughly. It is about six months before I left there that I started therapy and acknowledged that I have a legitimate problem with depression.

After those three years I spent another year and a half stationed in California. I spent about 4 months as a gate guard. Then finally my contract ended.

>>466485

How did you get a transfer into Japan?
Was Therapy covered by the military or was it taken out of your paycheck?

My last question, was your decision to join the military a worthy one?

>>466517
It was actually an option. There are three locations people who finish their job schooling tend to go to depending on the demands of the military. California, North Carolina or Japan.

Therapy was covered by the military, which was nice. Whenever I get a reply from the VA I should be able to get continued free medications and therapy, but that will take a few months to a year at best.

As for whether or not I regret being in the military.. To be honest there were far too many good things I experienced and too many memories for me to say it wasn't worth it. On the bad side work was incredibly unpredictable and for all sakes and purposes I felt I had no control over what happened to or around me at any given time. That's really not the kind of environment I would have wanted to stay a part of.

>>466531

Well thank you for your time to answer some of my questions. I hope things work out for you.

>>466546
Thanks man. I'm going to go ahead and go to sleep now lol.

>>466557

Good night sweet prince. May you have pleasant dreams.

>>466300

Ahahahahahaahaha

For the guy who was asking about Momusu
http://www.dj-waffles.com/
You can get most of the good old stuff there.

>>467686
you talking about the guy last night, who I was referring to Ayaka's english lessons and okamura's specials?

>>467700
Yes.

this thread almost single-handedly makes up for all the /ronery/ this board usually contains.

I'm studying for the SAT and feeling mighty nice. The weather is good and I've begun to realize there are actually quite a few people in this world supporting me along the way (besides my family).

Before you say underage b&, I'm 18 and am a dual enrollment student.

I'm reading light novelsfor 11 hours. My head is gonna blow out.

>>468542
which novels? I'd love to get my hands on a few so I could increase my kanji learning levels.

I'm using Genki right now.. currently on lesson 18 (kanji-wise) but skipped 16 and 17 for some reason (going to learn them myself.
Pic related, to judge my skill level, or lack thereof lol

>>468551
I read Wolf and Spice, 2 volumes on the computer.

mai eyes has aids.

Today wasn't any different from yesterday. I don't have a job right now, which is just fine. I'm spending up to 8 hours per day studying Japanese and the rest of the day watching raw Anime, or reading Manga / playing VNs in jap (or some other games for instance).

Since I do so since the beginning of the year, my moonspeak ability has skyrocketed. Anyway, starting next month I'm going to moonland, so I'll try to relax a bit before that.

>>468567
you plan on playing the VN?

finished uni first year today. came back to student halls and organize my stuff and put priorities on what to draw from nice days.

A good discussion thread on /jp/?

INCONCEIVABLE!

>>468590
>/jp/ != /b/
>NO WAI!!!

>>468594
I didn't say anything about /jp/ == /b/.

>>468600
i know, but /jp/ has a few good discussions pop up here and there, whereas /b/ is just stupid

wut? my thread is still up?

>>468611
LOL, I was surprised to see this thread was still active too.

>>468611
don't you feel like a god or something?
I think happy threads might catch on

>>468617
I hope they do, they are a lot more enjoyable than ronery threads.

Only thing better than slacking off before work would be slacking off during work.
