LOLOLOL you gave 2001 Ya Monogatari a 4?

Hello. I apologize for 'listening in' but I couldn't help catching parts of your conversation. Please don't in any way, shape or form by offended by my having read your comments to others. I sincerely apologize in advance, with my hand on my heart, if such actions do offend you.

I, too, want a jet. The UK isn't a nice place to be in. Just the other day I was walking out my house and a gang of late-teens happened to be walking past. I caught ones eye and, of course, they wanted to have it out... when I'd only walked out of my house and had no clue who they were. Leaving this land of scum and villainy would be the ideal solution.

My problem? No money. I can't afford a car right now, let alone a jet. Not everyone can afford one, after all. So, I was wondering, if you do end up with a jet, could you take me with you to Japan? I don't weigh much and I wouldn't bring much with me. All I ask is that you allow me to bring my Westie, Princess, with us. She's a bit vicious, I must confess, but she won't bite you...providing you don't attempt to touch her. She's harmless, really.


One last thing: your anime list. You appear to have derived a lot of pleasure out of scoring most of my top five lowly. This, along with our percentage, lead me to believe we're totally incompatible. However, having glanced through the rest of your list, it appears we aren't totally different species.

The one thing that appears to connect us is that we're both Narutards, which surprised me somewhat considering I'm pretty sure you're one of those twenty paragraph LotGH people. (They scare me.) If you're keeping up with the manga, can you tell me if Naruto and Sasuke have battled it out again yet? I put the manga on-hold after Kishimoto turned into a complete Sasautard. My love for him, and Naruto as a whole, has its limit.

How do you go from being a teacher to doing this stuff? You like odd jobs and stuff? I always wanted a career in... not having a career. I love doing different things, and having one job for most of my life makes me sad.

Heh, I need to stop watching hentai, because when you said "milk the ambassador's wife", well! And I dunno, I'd like to see if I can get in on my own merit. I don't like things to come easy for me, if that makes sense. I get the greatest satisfaction from digging and grasping and agonising to achieve a goal. I mean, it's nice to have things fall in your lap, but I always feel good to know what I have is from my own two hands.

Oh? What work are you doing? And if you don't mind my asking, was the exchange you worked on in Japan with the JET programme? Or was that another venture?

Check out "Kilico". Like Smugglers, it's one of the best seinen I've ever read so far, yet is oddly overlooked.

You were *that* close to the second Votoms arc. It's split into four big arcs in different locales, completely different atmospheres, etc. Most seem to say it picks up with the second one (though I still loved the first). Takes place in a jungle and crap.

I'm pretty blown away though. I mean, you sat through shows like ZZ, even other Gundam's which have more obvious flaws and horribly quirky characters/odd pacing, IDEON, but didn't make it into Votoms at all. I mean, you didn't even get to the meat of the series, Chirico's rival Ypsilon, who Chirico is, the ridiculous Nietzsche influences, people teleporting, and


I'm half joking here, but I honestly hope you reconsider someday. Perhaps you tried too hard to relate to Chirico or something, which is utterly impossible because that's how he is. But, maybe Dougram and Layzner would be more your thing (along with Mellowlink), since they're more character based, bigger casts, etc. Don't write those two off just yet. But yeah if you end up not liking those either, but could sit throw Tomino shows and whatnot, I'l lhave to really question your taste in mecha!!

Well it's on my top 5, what more would you expect me to say? lol.

I actually wasn't a big fan of Crank 1. Too stale and predictable. Decent film, but nothing special. But wow, the sequel absolutely blew my mind.

As for "The Expendables", I'm amped because of the cast, but in all honesty, the trailer was a bit of a let-down. I hope they retain a significant sense of humor about the whole project.
