Things That Really Matter

Good Evening Everyone~
Today has been a bit of a sit down and think day for me. Here's my situation. I've lost both my cat and my snake which I've already talked about. I have yet to find a new job that isn't a 5 mile bike ride from my apartment. First months rent comes up 2 weeks after we move in and I get paid the day after the due date. I'm also having a lot of relationship troubles. Not to mention with all the stress I've been losing a lot of weight (I'm really underweight already).
On the bright side I'm moving in with two people who are kind, supportive, and adventurous! I do have a job, even though it's 5 miles away on my bike I could not even have one! My pets are missing, but I'm not going to loose hope this early! THE BRIGHT SIDE WILL SHINE!
I'M WALKING ON SUNSHINE!!
So today I just wanted to talk about some other things that are more stressful and worse than what I'm going through. I want to take a moment and put my life problems aside and give some acknowledge things that could really use the help.
First of all earlier today my mom had sent me this link https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Petition_contre_les_amulettes_danimaux_vivants_en_Chine/?fbdm
avaaz is an organization that starts petitions. This one however really caught my eye. I love amphibians and reptiles passionately. Lizards, turtles, fish, and other baby animals have been kept alive in a special fluid and kept as key chains. They die from oxygen deprivation and starvation. The owners of the key chains are then influenced to eat them.
This is not only hurting the poor baby animals that are being slowly killed alive, but also the humans that keep them/eat them. Most of these animals carry a disease called salmonella. That's why it's very important to wash your hands after dealing with reptiles and amphibians.
So if you would like to help stop this madness then go ahead and click the link. It would be greatly appreciated!

Another thing that I've come across recently is the gender degrading breast cancer slogans and campaigns. Breast cancer is a terrible thing, all cancer is! The thing I really dislike about breast cancer campaigns is that it's less about the people who have the cancer and more about the "importance of breasts". Women who have to have their breasts removed and had to go through the cancer will never be the same.
"Save the boobs!" can be really offensive to someone who has gone through breast cancer.
It's sad to think that in our society women are treated as if they are only as good as their breasts. Which is a very sick thought to me.
Here is the link to a video I extremely recommend if you want to hear a better argument on this topic. Alb Loves Boobies
Here is another link on a test that proves how girls are being judged by their breasts. Everyone Stares at Boobs

Sorry this wasn't really a nerdy post. I figured some things needed to be said. Anyways, here are the last couple days of my blogging challenge that I'm failing at :D

Day 4: Favorite Books!

My favorite book of all time is Cirque Du Freak and Demonata by Darren Shawn. I don't care how old I am, I will never stop loving these books! In fact, Evra Von my snake was named after the snake boy in Cirque Du Freak~

Day 5: Three Things To Say Anonymously To Different People

"You need to get over yourself and come back to earth". It really bothers me when people get so caught up in something they think is better and loose everything they had.

"I miss you and I want to see you." Sometimes when you find someone you lost it's both heart breaking and happy. 

"I hope we do this forever" I want to go on adventures all of my life with the good friends that I have. 

Day 6: 3 Pet Peeves

1. When people tell me something I already know. They probably don't know that I already knew it but it still ticks me off randomly.

2. When people jump to negative thinking. "oh well I lost my snake and never found it, sorry about yours"
or "oh my gosh I have so much work to do today I'm never going to get anything done!" I'm usually a pretty positive thinker until I get stressed or there is too much for me to handle.Seriously though GET OVER IT.
3. People who expect me to get hints. "oh he likes you couldn't you tell". No -_- I couldn't. I honestly hate people that don't get to the point of things.
4. (I know this said 3 but now I'm on a roll) When you go to someone for a comfort or help in a bad situation and they tell all their friends that you're starting drama. I don't start drama, the people who spread my personal problems when I relied on them most are. Fuck you.

Now that I'm done ranting like an angry beast I hope you all have a wonderful day and maybe tomorrow I'll post something more fun ^^"

Bucket List of Feels!

Hello Everyone! Anemone here~
So it turns out besides just losing my Evra Von, my cat Twizzle has also gone missing. I also started packing today. Hoping my pets turn up soon </3 So I'm a bit on the emotional side recently. Sorry if these next couple of weeks I'm a bit off, because I will be until I can get things settled.
Anyways, today is supposed to be geeky gone girly. I have a bunch of cute geeky fall outfits planed out but I haven't been in the mood to dress up.
I've been really into making bucket lists lately! They are inspiring and make me feel better! So here are some nerdy and less nerdy things on my bucket list~

Nerdy Bucket List:

1. I haven't been reading much lately. I have quite a few books the I have been wanting to read but I just don't have the time. I feel like I haven't bought a book in forever! I think I want to start reading John Green books because I've been watching a lot of the vlog brothers recently. I'm pretty interesting in the Fault in our Stars! It's a popular book and I want to see what the hype is about! *getting excited thinking about it*

 2. I didn't even know this was a thing until recently. Ghibli films are so cute! I'd imagine the museum is a place that could make me feel like a child. I haven't looked a ton into it yet but I sure am going to. My favorite film is probably Spirited Away. Mainly because it used to scare the crap out of me and I adore creepy things! Spirited Away is definitely CREEPY!

3. So I did a post where I was Robin for Halloween! Though my favorite super heroes are Captain America and Super Man and Spider Man. Okay so I love men in tights with muscles who save people! Seriously, who doesn't? I really want to get a full body spiderman suit one of these days. It's on my wish list for sure! I can see myself cooking, sleeping, doing yoga, and even jogging in that thing. EPIC!

 4. This is something I would probably do at an anime convention! I have a pink hello kitty kigurumi and I would be confident enough to hug other cosplayers. Normal people probably not because you never know what they will do! Haha! I think this is a cute idea to make someones day~ I will give it a try! Everyone should do this too! Maybe make random animal kigurumi hugs a thing? ;)

 5. I seriously adore Lolita! It's so pretty and has so many different styles! I think I would go with sweet Lolita. Something pink, light colored, cream, lace and frills. I do adore the Gothic Loli dress in the picture though! I would love to wear a Gothic Lolita dress if I wasn't so pale! Anyways, it'd be nice just to have one for fun and random photo shoots and tea parties/dress up parties.

6. When I said I loved super heroes I wasn't kidding! I think these panties are seriously the sexiest thing on the planet. Go ahead and disagree with me but HOT DAMN! I love it ;) Not even lingerie could make me feel sexier than these! (Not quite sure what that says about me o.0) I need to find a store where they actually sell these because I'd buy them in a heartbeat~

7. Who doesn't want to do this!? One of my best friends has been to New Zealand and had a blast! I really want to go to New Zealand for the wonderful people and experience, but I'd love it even more if I could see the hobbit houses! I'd die of happiness! I have a lot of future trips planned out. I will one day travel the world and take pictures of these cute little hobbit houses! ;)

8. All honestly I'd want to learn Gallifreyan before learning Elvish because I just like Gallifreyan more. NO HATE. I have some friends trying to learn Elvish too so it would be pretty fun. I would only speak it in an Elvis voice and when people ask when I'm doing I'll tell them "I'm speaking Elvish baby" ;) lol. I'm punny o.0

9. I recently started reading comics. There is a comic book store not far from where I am moving too! *excitement!* I'm pretty hooked on Empowered! If you haven't seen my review check it out Here~ I also want to cosplay Ninjette and I think Comic Con would be the perfect place to cosplay her! Comic Con is more than just comics too. It's pretty exciting! I want to GOOOOOOOOOOO~!

Normal* Bucket List

Because all of my animals are running away anyways. If I collect them then even if one or two run away I'll still have 30-50 more ;_; Also because cats are cute.

Participate in a zombie walk because my heart has died and I'm already a zombie. Also because it would be fun.

Jump off a pier because I may need a fun way to end my sorrows. Also because it's like a mini diving board. Who doesn't love diving boards/







LASTLY,

get an apartment with my friends! I'm really excited about this :) Already packing and excited for new adventures and looking for a new job! It will be a ton of fun~







Anyways, thank you guys for putting up with my little depression ramble. Feeling a lot better now, drinking coffee and listening to Sigur Ros. I hope you all have a wonderful November!

Stress! Stress! Stress!

Good Evening Everyone! Anemone here! Sorry about not posting for a while. I had a bit of a difficult weekend. I'm moving in less than 2 weeks and had to run a bunch of errands (electricity, internet, etc.) Getting stuff figured out. I also ended up losing my snake. Which isn't fun. Hoping he turns up before I move.
Besides all that crap I haven't been watching anime, finishing Empowered or anything. The stress is kicking in! Anyways, I figured I should post something at least. I think I'll post some of my favorite things to keep from being stressed!
1. Adventure Time! 
I really love watching Adventure Time because it's just really silly and mind numbing. You don't need to pay a lot of attention to get the story. It's light and funny and gives me time to think while occupying my attention at the same time. If I don't want to think to hard about something I'll watch something funny like Adventure Time or any other cartoons.

2. Dressing down
There's nothing I love more than sitting home in pajama pants and an Avengers T-shirt. It's honestly easier to think clearly when most comfortable. As much as I love to dress up, I feel pretty while being comfortable.

3. Music
If you haven't seen my music post here it is! Click here~
I listen to anything really but if you want to check out the nerdy music that I love click the link! Ken Ashcorp is what I've been listening to most recently. Just because his music is fun!
Touch Fluffy Tail- ken Ashcorp

4. Play Video Games
All I've been playing all week is Monster Girl Quest. I'm in love with this game and somehow fighting monster girls makes me feel relaxed. Haha! I'll post videos of it eventually but right now it's just my stress game.

5. Writing
I love writing down lists of things that I enjoy, writing about things that stress me out and what I need to get done. Somehow it helps. I also love writing about super heroes. I've always had a bit of an obsession with them. Not so much comic book heroes as making up my own.

Also doing the blog challenge (Maybe I chose the wrong month to do this BUT I WONT GIVE UP YET!)
Day 2: The Meaning Behind Your Name.
I got the name Anemone from the anime Eureka 7. It's one of my favorite anime! It pretty much stuck as a nickname! I love it anyways~
Day 3: 5 Places You Want To Visit.
1. Lake Retba because it's freaking PINK!
2. Warsaw Poland because it's gorgeous! No seriously this place looks great <3
3. Ghibli Museum!
4. Tomorrow Land because of pure epicness and also I really don't know what on earth it's supposed to be.
5. Australia because it just sounds intense!

Anyways that's all for tonight. I'll have more for you guys up tomorrow! Goodnight!

Aggroe's Back, Baby~

Good morning everyone! Did you have a fun Halloween?
Anemone and I were supposed to hang out, but I had no ride, so instead I went trick-or-treating with a friend, terrified some kids, and ate candy! 'Cause you're never too old for that!
It was hilarious, actually. For my costume I tore up a shirt and pants, covered  myself in fake blood, and dragged a baseball bat around... My friend went as the goddess Athena. There was one poor child who looked out the window and nearly had a heart attack... I shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did~

In other news, I have some playthroughs that I haven't uploaded yet. I have part 1 and 2 of an Ao Oni-esque game, Paranoiac, on my computer and nearly ready for Youtube. Then, I have a request, a playthrough of Homesick. It's a side scroller of epic proportions! Finally, I have part 2 of Monster Girl Quest. As a note on my translations, I'm actually done with tracks 1-10, but I'm waiting to see if track 1 will be taken down for copyright or not. We shall see.
...There's something I'm really excited about. June of 2014, I will be going back to Japan for a second time... But this time as a translator, not a student~!! Which is why I'm working on my Japanese so much~
I'm so fucking excited, you have no idea!
~~~
Today, I will be talking about an Anime that I recently finished AND teaching you all some Hiragana, one of the alphabets of Japanese!
The anime is, surprisingly, a slice-of-life... BUT it's also shounen! The reason I checked it out, actually, is because of that unique combo. It is called...

"Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui"! The title translates, literally, to "I'm Not Popular, and No Matter How You Think About it, You Guys are Bad" It makes more sense if you call it "It's Your Guys' Fault That I'm Not Popular".
...
The title is long, so it's usually called WataMoto. This anime... It is wonderful. The main character, Kuroki Tomoko, is hilariously socially awkward. She thinks that she'll be super popular in high school, and she isn't, so the episodes are all her attempts at talking to people, learning how to hang out, and a ton of other stuff...
Though much to the amusement of her viewers, she...

Tomoko's attempts at humor

...fails miserably.
I really like how, in this anime, the people look normal. No blue haired skinny big boobed girls, and no badass mysterious guys with a dark past.
Her younger brother's name is Tomoki, and he is in his last year of middle school. He is reeeeeally popular with girls and guys alike, and has friends to hang out with all the time.

Kuroki Tomoki

She has a friend from middle school who used to be super geeky who wore huge glasses and was generally just an anime nerd like Tomoko, but now she's super hot! Nice chest, contacts, fashionable clothes... And, she's got a boyfriend!... That's the bit that Tomoko hates the most~

Yuu-chan

This show is also gay/lesbian-friendly! Tomoko is, I'm pretty sure, madly in love (or lust) with Yuu-chan! There are many times where she wants to touch her, and not in the innocent sort of way~ Of course, it never happens, but it's pretty wonderful~!
...
Anemone and I agreed that Tomoko is pretty much the equivalent of us fused together and thrown into an anime.

...Or so she thinks~

Anyways, check it out here~

~~~
Hiragana lesson!
The song/video at this link will give you the pronounciation~
あいうえお  (A I U E O)
かきくけこ   (KA KI KU KE KO)
さしすせそ  (SA SHI* SU SE SO)
たちつてと  (TA CHI TSU TE TO)
なにぬねの (NA NI NU NE NO)
はひふへほ (HA** HI HU*** HE HO)
まみむめも  (MA MI MU ME MO)
や　ゆ　よ   (YA YU YO)
らりるれろ  (RA RI RU RE RO)
わ　　　　を (WA (W)O****)
ん             (N)

* This is sometimes romanized as "si", though "shi" is better for pronunciation purposes.
** This is also pronounced "wa" when used for grammatical reasons. For example, the sentence, わたしはねこです (I am a cat), the "ha" is pronounced "wa".
*** This is usually romanized as "fu", but they are interchangeable.
**** This is ONLY used for grammatical purposes. There are no words that use "(w)o". I will go into the uses for it later on.

Well, that's about it! I should have the videos up within the next few days, so look forward to it~

~Aggroe~

The Real Anemone~

Hello Everyone~
Hope you all had a great Halloween! I didn't end up going trick or treating but I did go to a few parties which was tons of fun! I was seriously so exhausted afterwards that I slept for 12 hours! I woke up a zombie XD
Other fun stuff is that I'm moving in less that 2 weeks! It's coming so fast! Sadly I can only take Evra Von my little snake and my kitty stays with my parents </3 I've also been working on Hula Hooping. You may say "Okay, you've been hula hooping, so what?" But I've got some awesome tricks that I'm learning to do with some epic nerdy music! Yay!
My room mates are super nerdy and full of adventurous spirit! So there will be a lot more vlogs of our nerdy adventures! I am however moving further from Aggroe :( Not too far though! It'll all be well!

So since it's the beginning of a new month I thought it would be fun to to a geeky 30 day challenge! So lets see how far I can get with this thing! :D

Day 1: 5 things about yourself!
1. I love nerdy T-shirts and over sized shirts/sweaters.
2. I scare easily and it's hard for me to play horror games.
3. Monster Girl Quest and Alice: Madness Returns are my favorite games.
4. I've seen Boku no Pico and the first thing I said while watching it was "USE THE CACTUS!"
5. I'm currently listening to Sleeping with Sirens and wearing an XL Amazing Spiderman shirt.

So there you are! If you want to join in and share 5 things about yourself then please do! :D
