Wow, that is pretty lame. I like how I didn't know about it at all. It's great how that group is so into each other that they don't care to include any of the other officers (namely, ME) in any of their discussions or whatnot. Hopefully something will change next year.
Sorry about Kollaboration... :< That was pretty boneheaded of me. The flier was like sitting around my desk for a week too LOL.......... okay not helping. :x
well, i promised we wouldnt have to buy anything. i have to talk to her other friend to see if she wants to come, but im warning her away since she said shes an impulsive buyer. youd probably be welcome, as long as you dont mind putting up with my taste in choices for my friend to try on.
if you want, i can ask her if you can come.
and i still love you even though you totally forgot about mentioning your VIP tickets to something awesome for a full week+. :)
Yup, completely incapable of interacting with girls.
UCLA is so different... there's always been a lot of female officers (and presidents), and it's really 50/50 on the guy-girl ratio... anime fans are mixed nowadays, there's no reason for USC to become awkward-male-conglomerate.
i attribute our lack of committed female membership to two things.
1) (same for lack of good male membership) weak heart/spirit. no devotion to the search for exposure, depth, and breadth of knowledge about one of their favorite pastimes. in other words - lack of the best part of otaku mentality.
2) lack of the male element to a)present material that or b)recruit girls that attract other girls. girls are naturally more social creatures than guys and need to have a sense of community, friendship, or solidarity (fujoshi style :| ) to continue being interested in the social aspect of the club (i.e. actually meeting up with people)
1 is nothing we can change easily. 2 is the game of life. keep tossing enough girls in and hopefully some will stick and become stable structures. yay for the game of life.
Yeah, UCLA was getting really good about 'exposure' - showing live action one night, having cosplay and cultural activities, and lots of other things (both during and not during meetings). Not that they were like that in the beginning. I wish I'd been a few years younger, Colleen's crowd was a whole lot better. Less clicky.
Considering they haven't done much to draw in the existing girls, I'd say it's their fault. There was Alice, me, the twins, Hye, lots of girls that they totally failed to even attempt to befriend. Or involve. Or something. Alice shouldn't have to -try hard- to be involved, she should be dragged into it.
