Someday, I will live in eternal winter.
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR AND VALENTINES DAY!! ♥ I hope everyone is well. :D
I got a rose from the RSL club as usual, and my mum got sent a few bouquets. :D It's very pretty.
***
Someone needs to shoot Sydney buses and this Sydney weather. They are both killing me. I waited for an hour after school in the sun until the bus came. Seriously, they are either late or early - and 466 are always packed. I miss Japanese punctuality. D:
Actually, I miss a fuck load of things in Japan. The food, the food!! *O* And I wasn't paranoid about getting Melanoma there.
Though what really is irritating is that I found that I can't speak Japanese in Japan. My brain just kind of freezes and won't function. Like when somebody speaks to you, and you know what they are talking about but the reply just won't come out. It's so frustrating. Works better in theory. D:
~**~~~HONG KONG WAS AMAZING.~**~~
Anyway, yes, I have not updated for a long time. School work and family issues came up and they will continue to stream in. So I'm really really slow at commenting. And it won't get any better. D:
For a while at least.
AXIS POWERS HETALIA ADDICTION MEME
Stolen from spooky_meon !! :D
[X] You start laughing hysterically at maps… (LOL OMG. Not laughing - I wouldn’t be able to stop if that was the case - but looking at maps suddenly became all exciting. *O*)
[XXX] You go “Aww” when you see two or more flags together. (Found an Australian flag on top of a Russian flag when I was skiing and that was weird... maybe I’m shipping it now though.)
[ ] You’ve learned more history from it than from an actual history class. (Nah. History is fab)
[--] You debate about details like whether the number on America’s back is supposed to be 50 or 96…with supporting screenshots. (Er… OH SO THAT’S WHERE SHE GOT FROM)
[X] You watch APH MADs.
[--] You got a Nico Nico Douga account despite not knowing a single word of Japanese so you could watch even more APH MADs.
[XXXXXXXXX] World War II starts sounding romantic. (Goddamn, that’s kinda sad)
[/] Your teacher asks why you put “Alfred F. Jones” as the answer instead of America, and why you drew a small heart and the name “Arthur” beside it.
[/] You yell “Yeah, he’s the hero!” whenever someone says America.
[/] You misread UK as UKE every single time, and have started mispronouncing it in actual conversation.
[XXXX] You know every country’s flag and location, and people think you must be a huge history nerd, and really, you’ve become one. (LOL OMG. SO TRUE.)
[X] You shudder every time you hear the name “Russia” or “Ivan” and quickly glance over your shoulder… just in case. (WHAT? I DON’T SHUDDER. Or, maybe I do, but it’s a shudder of fangasm. *O* )
[ ] Whenever you see a fellow Hetalia fan, you shout, “Germaaaannnnyyyyy!” down the hallway. (uhm. Not really. xD)
[ ] You write down your favorite pairings all over your history lecture notes, leaving others to wonder what “USxUK”, “Spamano”, “GerIta”, “Giripan”, etc. mean. (lol wow)
[ ] You end every sentence with “aru.”
[ ] You scream ’paaaaaaaaaastaaaaaaaaaaa’ every time you happen to have some.
[ ] You can’t imagine a functioning Italian mafia. (Italy is different in my head cannon. xD)
[XXXXXX] You want Prussia back on the map.
[X] You can no longer say “international affairs” with a straight face.
[X] No one can mention a country without you thinking about what they look like in Hetalia. (THAI-KUN AND VIET-KUN~~~~)
[X] You read a historical book and think it would make a good fanfic.
[X] Other people don’t get it when you say your country’s cute. (Eh. So true. But it’s not my country. Doitsu doitsu~~~… doitsu doitsu doitsu why is your history so sad.)
[ ] You’ve listened to Romano’s Delicious Tomato Song like…80 billion times.
[ ]You’re a duke/duchess of Sealand.
[ ] You’ve become a thousand times more patriotic. (This kinda sucks. But no. BUT JAPAN OH JAPAN.)
[XXXXX] You find the NEED to travel the world. Like your life depended on it. (THIS. But it started before Hetalia?)
[XXX] You can’t take history/social studies class seriously anymore.
[ ] You remember Canada Day BEFORE the 4th of July, as in, you completely forget about America’s birthday. And you’re American.
[X] You want to learn every single language in the world. (…Kinda…? But only German, Swedish and Russian really)
[X] You recognize which flag belongs to which country, while everyone just looks at you funny. (LOL, but most people got dragged down to Hetalia anyway. xDD)
[ ] Everyone who’s named Alfred, Arthur, Peter, Matthew, and Francis is forever linked to Hetalia.
[XXX] You started using gendered pronouns when talking about countries. (Must remember not to do during a history assignment. >.> )
[XX] Rather than just being happy that it’s another nation’s Independence Day, you feel the need to rush to the store and get a birthday cake with that nation’s name on it. (AHAHA OKTOBERFEST. *O* )
[X] Your suggestion for a solution to any world issue is to “SEIZE THEIR VITAL REGIONS!!” Joking or not.
[XXX] You suddenly wish that you could retake your boring history classes even though it’s all about other countries invading your country and your country isn’t even in Hetalia. (I do love history. JUST GET OUT OF AUSTRALIA ALREADY. ;___; )
[X] You forced all your otaku friends to love Hetalia. (lol kinda)
[ ] You actually think about spending your savings to buy any useless Hetalia merchandise.
[ ] You laugh inside when you tell people that you’re writing historical fiction now. (They all know. Pfft)
[XXXXXXXXXXXX] You use fanfiction as a study guide. And it helped. (Jesus fuck - seriously)
[X] You thought of putting Hetalia characters on your world map in your room.
[ ] When they threw the shoe at Bush, you wonder if Alfred managed to duck too/got hit/was laughing his ass off.
[XXXX] You seriously asked your parents if you could go out and travel next summer. (I MIGHT MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO TO BERLIN HOW EXCITING ALSHKJGDHFLISADKFJSDLK)
[XXX] You would rather have nation-tan’s military uniforms than any other clothes.
[X] You feel sad that you don’t own a good world history book.
[X] You think about “VITAL” when someone mentions anything that sounds like “regions”.
[ ] You can’t stop thinking about fanfiction ideas.
[ ] You imagine what it would be like if you were a nation-tan with population of one.
[X] You start questioning/looking up your own genetic/ethnic history/make up, just because you want to know if you’re somehow connected to your favorite characters.
[X] You had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you first found out about Hetalia, but by the middle of chapter 2 of the main story, you realized you had an imaginary I.V. of Hetalia hooked up straight into your veins. (I was like: ...what is THIS? o_O it's confusing... and... strange... and... completely inaccurate... and stupid and... and... and... OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES!) (I’ll just leave this last persons comment. xD Eloquently spoken, dear sir.)
[XXXX] You designate all of your friends as a specific country based on their personalities… whether they accept it or not! (I’M GOING TO DO THAT NOW.)
[X] You find yourself downloading the national anthems of your favourite nations, listening to them frequently and trying to learn the words. (I’M GOING TO DO THAT TOO)
[ ] Going to the airport is more fun than going to Disneyland. (LOL nah.)
[XXXX] You watch protesters burning any country’s flag in the news and you want to cry even if it’s not your country. (Not really relevant but History in general makes me sad)
[XXX] You find yourself glued to Discovery, National Geographic and the History Channel and get frustrated when your friends or family ask you to change the channel.
[ ] The “special relationship” between the US and the UK takes on a whole new meaning.
[XXX] Slang or words from other languages/dialects enter your regular speech even though they’re not common in your language/dialect. (Gratuitous German, anyone? 8D)
[X] You travel to a foreign country and find it amusing that you were “in” that country. (Never thought about it that way but… well… what do you know. xD)
[XXX] Destinations that you would’ve never otherwise heard of, let alone thought of traveling to, enter your list of “places to visit before you die”.
[ ] You’re considering fandubbing a song that has nothing to do with Hetalia as a Hetalia character.
[XX] You cry at the thought of never getting a chance to see the world before you die.
[XXXXXXXXX] You suddenly start researching for the sake of writing or drawing.
[ ] You now insist on calling Hello Kitty ‘Shinatty-chan’. (…huh)
[X] You start buying things because they remind you of a character from Hetalia. And sometimes you really don’t need them. (Oh yeah. Godamn I have a whole collection of random German crap. And IKEA is suddenly doubly awesome.)
[ ] You spend hours looking at maps trying to see if Sealand’s on any of them.
[ ] You find yourself bragging about the fact that you know that Sealand’s a country and everyone else, even your history teacher, doesn’t.
[X] You randomly quiz your sister/parents/hapless friends about different countries. (Boy do they get pissed.)
[XXX] The dimension 5 meters becomes REALLY FUNNY.
[ ] You don’t mind that you can’t cook because it makes you more similar to Arthur. (I can cook fine, lol)
[ ] You have dreams about Hetalia characters.
[XXXXXXXXXX] You’ve dragged other people into the fandom. (MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.)
[ ] You can’t say ‘pasta’ normally anymore - it’s always PASTAAAAAA~~! (Well… A friend does that. xD)
[ ] No one knows your sense of humor anymore.
I got a rose from the RSL club as usual, and my mum got sent a few bouquets. :D It's very pretty.
