"I have agreed not to drag JO into this any longer, as she's really the only person who handled this situation properly." -Spoony's twitter Oh. Hey. Neat.

I really, really hate when stuff like this happens. Because I'm a fan of Jesu Otaku, and I'm a fan of Spoony. It's not like I'm betraying one by still enjoying the other, but now watching them both is going to feel super uncomfortable. This is goddamn high school drama all over again.

When you begin seeing the world in shades of blue and yellow.

Abso-fricken-lutely. The person bellow me owns more than one pet. Also, two Firo avatars in a row makes me go :D

Pretty much the most selfish reason there is for doing good: I feel bad when I don't, and I feel good when I do. No religion compelling me, no moral code I follow, just my stupid conscience bothering me when I act like a dick.

Devoutly christian extended family + My Atheist beliefs = Quite a few awkward family reunions. We're usually civil, but I catch the occasional glare. We're both still bitter about the time they sent me to a bible camp. That was a miserable experience for all parties involved. Other than...

I can acknowledge that Neon Genesis Evangelion is a well made show. Blah blah blah genius, blah blah blah philosophy. I get it. But out of all the anime I've seen, that series is the only one I actively despised. It's the only one where I had to force myself to sit down and hit play. Even...

When I first got into it, it was mainly for niche appeal. I couldn't find any Western Animation that took itself seriously, so I turned to Anime. Of course, anime is just another method of storytelling. That means some anime is good, some is great, some is bad, and some is shit. Sturgeons Law...

Coming across random floating trees, and in one case, a floating mountain. Makes you stop and stare for a little bit.

Already have. I've actually used that quote when debating religion with some family members. I can accept the fact that, at death, consciousness vanishes forever. But I still don't like it. I fear my own death more than anything else.

I here all these people saying things like "Don't waste your life worrying about death, it's going to happen no matter what, etc", and I think they're right, but I still can't make peace with the fact that sooner or later I'll be permanently wiped from existence. I guess I still have some...

But there's more to a Daft Punk song than a catchy tune. It's rich, the sampling is creative, I can go on. Bieber's songs are as shallow and forgettable as they get. It's like Twilight: We don't hate it because it's popular, we hate it because it's terrible and popular.

Username A Jonathon Coulton song I like. Avatar Firo from Baccano!, because I couldn't find a good picture of Jacuzzi.

Oh wait... OT: I've always liked the name Martin, it's my go-to when I need a male character.

Uh, no. His music isn't the worst out there, but it's pretty terrible. A slightly catchy tune does not a good song make. The lyrics are insincere and cliche, his singing is shaky, and even the beat feels like it was manufactured on an assembly line with the rest of the Disney teenage schlok.
