Re: I WANNA EAT CEREAL AT 2AM ;_;

Nah, it's an adulty cereal with fiber and stuff. :( I can't eat sweet things that late and OMG that sounded so old. :'(

Kids are like riding a bike. Wait. That came out wrong. Um.

Seriously though, it really is the more you're exposed the better you get with them. It's hard to imagine being a kid because their brains honestly work differently than adults brains. It's equally difficult to imagine being someone with mania or schizophrenia or autism if you haven't been around those people a lot. And the more you're around them, the more empathy you have, the more comfortable and easy it is to interact with them.

Transgender representations in media is something I've more or less given up hope on. I had no idea (other than crossdressing punchlines) until I actually met some transgender people and realized that FtM people were basically jsut guys, MtF people were basically just girls, and you could spend the entire conversation staring at an adam's apple, or you could dish about how hard it is to be a 6' tall girl and buy pants (it's really hard). There's a mental shift that occurs and suddently you're not talking to a "MtF person", you're just talking to another girl. But that takes time and exposure, and some people can never quite get over it.

Season 6 Buffy was painful to me too, for different reasons, probably. I'm an athiest in practice, agnostic in philosophy (who celebrates Christmas and Easter and Channukah and Passover and fasts on all the appropriate holydays. Don't ask) but I have a very Christian outlook when it comes to media and I always assume a heaven. Which made Buffy's return sad for me long before the reveal.

I can't watch reality TV, probably for the same reason I love shows like Code Geass and would hate almost all of the characters IRL. Things happening in fiction that are entertaining to me are horrific to me in real life. I completely agree with you on the Geass thing, although I may just be arrogant enough (see: Yagami Light) to think that I'm different and special and can control the bast urge to use this power for evil.

I probably couldn't. Unless there was work involved in the evil - I'm pretty darn lazy. I could never reach Light or even Lelouch-levels of "evil" because that requires too much effort.

Again, I'm a really boring character. XD
