Being alone sucks, and people need to stop jumping to conclusions...
Yeah, being away from all my friends and everyone I know sucks, but I'm managing. I've been running off of a case of Dr. Pepper and a large pile of Shoujo manga. Of course, reading Shoujo manga always reminds me of things I don't wanna think about, but I'm good at not thinking about things I don't wanna think about... I think. I ended up reorganizing things in my room today. All the manga that I had nicely stacked on the floor is now up on the shelf in my closet and in my dresser/bookcase/thing...
Someone said something to me recently, accusing me of being a weeaboo... Well, I'm an otaku, yeah, but by no means am I a weeaboo. I'm learning Japanese not because I wanna watch anime before it gets subtitled, not because I wanna read manga that isn't being scanslated or released in the US, not because I wanna play import games and know whats going on, not because I wanna understand the music, but because as far back as I can remember, I've been interested by the Japanese Language, Culture, and History. Sure, the above reasons are incentives, but not why I'm doing it. And for the record, the number of weeaboo fucktards is growing, and this is pissing me off. I even know a few myself, and aside from being weeaboos, they aren't bad people. Their hearts are in the right place. But I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about those people who go and use a random Japanese word in their perfectly good english sentence. I used to do this, I'll admit, but it was never more than adding an exclamation to my statement. Y'know, like saying "Sugoii!" if someone does something amazing, then commenting in english. I don't do that now, because I'm now capable of commenting completely in Japanese if I feel like it. But y'know what? English is my first language, so if I wanna comment on someone and actually have them understand it, I'm saying it in english. If I feel like confusing someone, or the person already knows some Japanese, I'll comment in Japanese. Anyways, as I was saying, the number of weeaboos just in this area is not just astounding, but it's also annoying as hell. Not just because weeaboos piss me off, but because I get accused of being one, and I don't like being told I'm someone I'm not. I am me, and I have no intention of changing that.
So, until I feel like venting again, later.
