HA. Yes. I'm so glad Rosemary/Smitty isn't just me. <3 for this silly old musical.

142. This. This is my life right now. I'm trying so hard to find a balance between being sociable and being the introverted semi-hikikomori people perceive me to be, despite my constant efforts to be a little more outgoing.

A good friend of mine - one of the ones that doesn't mind that I shut myself in my room for weeks at a time and has somehow stayed friends with me for many years - is trying to get me to socialize more, because that kind of behavior is now inexcusable since I've started uni. I hate it so much. I hate it like burning. I've found that it's true -- social life is so tiring, and the number of friends I have isn't even high. Constant interaction with people just wears me out so much. I'd rather curl up with a good book or build gundam models all day. Also - chatting on the internet requires so much less effort when the other person is two million miles away and you don't have to get out of your house to interact. Yes, I do enjoy going out with the people who have made life at school/uni/work bearable from time to time, but feeling obligated to see them every time they're available, even if I can't always see them, is very tiring. I can't concentrate on so much at the same time.

The thing is, being the way I am makes life hard. I have few friends and few connections. I don't have many people to help me when I get in trouble. There are very few people that I can talk to openly when I'm feeling down. When those few people are not around, I'm lost. In some ways I think introverts have to accept the fact that we are going to find it very hard to get by without playing towards how the world is so focused on extroversion. It's unfair, but the world isn't going to change unless we change it, and I have no idea how a regular shy, unsocial person could possibly do that outside of a fairytale scenario. It's either the impossible, or we suck it up, and try to make do. Your foray into socialization is not a bad thing; it's preparing you for how to handle this kind of flawed world.

I wish I didn't think this way, but it makes things more bearable when I'm sitting filling up my social calendar while my friend laughs to high heaven, hoping to set me up with an Ianto Jones lookalike, and all I want to do is get out of the roller disco and finish sanding down Deathscythe's wings. I'm grateful to her, but sometimes I just want to curl up and sleep. I agree with what some other people are saying - if your friends can't accept the fact that you'll disappear every once and a while, there's no point in considering them close friends. You need the ones that will push you to go out but will still accept the fact that you need to be away from others every once and a while, without guilt-tripping you or making you feel bad.

I dunno what I'm saying really, but basically, I know how hard it is, but try deal because it's better in the long run. Dx

Good luck. D:

155) KWAN-SU, DUDE! (Also: Surf Ninjas is obscure? Really?)

179. PHOENIX WRIGHT IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THE TOMATOES

121. My Mom watches that show like crazy.

143. If Mr. Muggles killed her I'd lol so hard. That dog is the bee's knees.

142) I agree. I go out with friends every now and then...but I'm content and happy like I am. I feel bad about not hanging out with people...or calling them on the phone. I hate talking on the phone, argh. Anyway, I feel you. <3

152) NO. YOU ARE NOT ALONE, ARGH.

THANK YOU FOR AGREEING. ♥

You'll have to wait while we dance, darling.

111. YES. I was thinking the exact same thing. And their casual interactions were even gayer than the blatant escape-humping at the end. But I also shipped Daniel/Ken when they were on 'Freaks and Geeks', so I had kind of a head start before I saw PE, haha.

116. I don't know, I don't really see either character having sex or wanting to have sex with anyone else (at least TDK!Joker). For both, I feel like shipping them sort of sullies the misanthropically independent aspect of their character. I might ship it in a 'sexually charged violence' kind of way though. That's pretty hot.

133. OMGZZZ COLIN! People whose fantasies include period costumes are people I want to know. Oh, Colin's adorable (and yes to the glasses).

174. lolz, the way this was worded is fucking priceless. Also -- yes, that shit would be HOT.

Alas, being anonymous makes this difficult.

Oh god, yes.

See, I find that pic to be incredibly hot. Your friend has excellent taste.

111 - My best friend and I giggled at every little bit of subtext, while the boys we went with were completely clueless. ;)

106. There's really nothing wrong in wanting to 'play pretend' as someone different than you. That in no way means that you find something inferior in the characters that you exclude because of preferences like that.

There's no harm in wanting to escape into a character who has a different life experience--including sex, race, nationality, etc. Problems only arise when you think the characters you don't want to play as are inferior in some way to the ones you do. I didn't get that impression from your secret, though.

Of course, you'll be missing out on some great games, but gaming is an escape into a fantasy world, and I don't think anyone has to right to tell you the proper way to enjoy yourself in such an area.

142. I feel the exact same way. Other people are way too needy and I'm happy by myself. Anyone who says we're losers for that is hopelessly closed-minded.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

OMFG! Totally cried my eyes out.

I feel completely alone in thinking that Sense and Sensibility > Pride and Prejudice.

And I want Brandon/Marianne S&S fanfiction, damnit. There is none.

109. Hi OP. I hope you don't mind me hugging and cuddling you. ♥

I find Mihashi to be the most adorable thing to have graced the manga industry. Nope, no moe-blob, shota, or loli will be as adorable as that kid. And normally I hate characters with abysmal self-confidence. He works so hard and tries to change himself little by little, even if he's not where he wanted to be by the end of the series. Oh god, my inner-impulse-buyer wants to get a plushie now.

162. YES. I apped a pretty boy and an old man for that comm. Guess which one was rejected.

lawl, not the old man, I bet XD

188. K-Klonoa ♥ I'm currently playing Door to Phantomile off and on. I really do adore the series, though the GBA games really lack the charm the PS1 and PS2 games had. And well, I'm not sure if Door to Phantomile is better than Lunatea's Veil (and I'd be biased anyways- I was introduced to the series through LV), but it (LV) is still a good Klonoa game in it's own right, I think.

101. NOOOO IT'S NOT OVER, IT'S NOT OVER, I DENY I SAW THE AVATAR FINALE. D:

104. RPS doesn't sit well with me either. I can understand why people do it though, but I just get weirded out because they are actual people with LIVES...

106. But WHY? I didn't think it made that much of a difference if the character was male or female. I thought story and play were more important?

107. Me too. ;-;

111. I haven't even seen this movie and from that picture alone I interally ship it.

119. Second series? Rly now? Eh...

130. This is why I never entered the Heroes fandom: 98% of it's fans are whiney idiots. "OMG U DON'T CARE ABOUT MOHINDER LIKE I DOOO." Just, lol. It's a fucking character.

134. God, Robin annoyed me to no end...D:

139. You win. =]

142. I kind of have both? I mean, I find joy in spending hours online with fandom, but I also love my rl friends dearly and have fun with them. Do I have to have one or the other? I mean, can't I have both? I don't know. I get the feeling it's like, you're either a total social outcast who lives for the internets, or you castrate yourself of all this "silliness" and have a full social life. I like both...is that so bad?

146. I call troll.

147. Thinking a book is an important addition to children's literature and disagreeing with how it's atheist viewpoint is presented are two different things.

160. ♥

161. Not really about your secret but, I can't stand when people think manga is porn. Jesus Christ get some education. D:

165. .......What. The. Fuck. Go die in a fire.

167. I used to be a Catholic but when I was old enough to think, I rejected their stance on it because it's FUCKING BULLSHIT. :D

172. Now I really want to know.

180. I admire your attitude...<3

186. I spend hours on there, ugh<33

"OMG U DON'T CARE ABOUT MOHINDER LIKE I DOOO." Just, lol. It's a fucking character.

Please tell me you don't think this attitude is restricted to Heroes fandom. It sounds to me more like...well, fandom in general, actually.

Not that I necessarily disagree that 98% of the people in the fandom are idiots, but for different reasons, not because they care too much about their characters of choice. If we weren't passionate about the characters, there would be no point to even watching the show.

125 - Them and the Voyager crew were definitely my favorites of all the series. <3

146 - You, sir/madame/whatever, frighten me.

152 - You are not alone! I have a fairly strong aversion to the art in that show, and as such, I'll refuse to watch it. You're right - the faces are freaky as hell. (Mainly the eyes, but it's everything to a certain extent.)

I believe they are one and the same person, in different times and places.

42. I agree with you so much. For years I felt horrible about myself because I thought I was a freak for not wanting to have friends and be social. It's not like I couldn't make friends, I just got bored and wasn't interested when I had them.

Now I've accepted that this is who I am and that I am HAPPY being the lone wolf. Fuck anyone who tells me otherwise, this is my life.

64. LoL now I want to see fic on it!

But the fandom is full of such awesome people!

Ah, that's really cute. Now I wish there was a heaven.

You'll be screwed if there is.
