10 Name: Anonymous 2005-10-01 23:28 ID:QiGVIvrf [Del]

I am a roundworm living in Cloud's body.
I am sorry Cloud opened this worthless THREAD.
Cloud is a born loser, but he has a big appetite, seldom wash his hands, always be filthy. That made Cloud's body our paradise.
Thanks to Cloud, I have grown up to 2.2 meters long.
But one day, Cloud had bad diarrhea because he was teased on 4-CH.
Cloud washed away my little brother Kenta from his bowels. Poor Kenta! He was only eight centimeters long then.
Normally Cloud has enough nourishment to feed me and all my brothers and sisters.
I don't want to see my little sister Haruna lament the loss of other family member.
Ladies and gentlemen, Cloud is a good-for-nothing fellow, indeed, but please be kind to him.

Hi ya'll!
Inspired by Densha Otoko I came here :D
I've had Japanese penpals for as long as I know, but it has always ended because of me being a bit alternative/radical person or because I get bored of them when they just respond with "Oh, that's very nice!". Funny thing is... they're always female, though I didn't especially ask for it. Of course, I'm willing to take it further than the friendship level ;). I'm not that good with Japanese yet, but I have studied some basics and I'm motivated to learn it. Maybe this will help in finding the alternative ppl as well. In the near future I am going to Japan for a while... Actually now I'm chatting with a Japanese woman who doesn't speak English very well, but at least she's trying very hard. The problem is that I've kind of ran out of topics to discuss. It's always about every day life and so on, but I want to make it more interesting... and I'm not really a people person :(.
So, any advice you guys? ^^

The first anime I ever saw was "Revolutionary Girl Utena" the movie. I was attracted to it because it was bizarre and new. It hit me at a vulnerable time; my father and mother had just been murdered. I became obsessed with the "emptiness inside" theme of the movie, and felt that this related to my life somehow. I watched Evangelion next, and absolutely loved the depressing feeling both of these shows left me with. I am a person who loves depressions; I feel that I am at my most creative and "raw" when utterly depressed. The empty feeling these shows gave me filled me with emotions I wanted to recapture.

Like an addict seeking another hit, I kept downloading more and more programs, watching tons of shows. At one point, I had two shoeboxes full of CD-r's packed with Anime programs. I had a library of just about every show ever made. I became obsessive, but I wasn't finding that feeling that was originally there. Sure, I could recapture it with great stuff like Serial Experiments: Lain and Millenium actress, but that was only for a moment.

Eventually, I stopped watching the shows I was downloading, but just grabbed them for the sake of having them. I had to have more. I bought DVD's and didn't watch them. Gradually, over time, I felt my aesthetic become warped. What once was strange and bizarre looking character design became familiar; I sought it out. If I caught a glimpse of an anime style character in real life, I felt a rush; almost as if my hindbrain saw it before I was aware of it. I was visiting a Japanese tea Garden and saw real life schoolgirls in the familiar navy blue fuku uniforms. I was fascinated by them; I was drawn, attracted, but not in a sexual way; it blew my mind to see something in real life that I had before seen only in the abstract.

A familiar feeling came through me when I saw them. I felt the same at that moment as when I had first seen Utena, when I had first finished Evangelion. My obsession took a new direction.

I bought several sailor fuku uniforms from online retailers. J-list was too expensive and didn't sell in the size I desired. I had to have the legitimate stuff. At first it was satisfying to just look at the uniforms. I would keep them clean, iron them, and hang them up every day. The ritual was soothing to me.

Sooner or later I had to do it. I had to wear the uniforms I had treasured. I am proud to report that it took me a few months to break down, to really cross the threshold into utter depravity. After that line had been crossed, though, there was no going back. Tentatively, I started by simply wearing the uniforms around the house. I would wake up very early, before anyone could glimpse at me from outside on the street, and simply do my cleaning and cooking wearing the various uniforms I purchased. I got a matching apron. I would pretend I was getting ready for Japanese High school.

Soon, though, wearing the uniform in private was not enough. I purchased a duster trenchcoat and began walking through town wearing my outfit. Nobody knew, and this made me comfortable. But, again, this soon became insufficient to satisfy my obsession.

I began stalking this girl I knew, Sarah. I checked out her routines; when she left for work, when she got back, what time she went to bed. At first I furtively ventured into her place with my uniform under my trench coat while she was away. I knew where her spare key was because I had helped her move earlier. Speaking of this, I'm a pretty beefy guy. I weigh around 240-260 pounds, but I'm not that tall. A great friend to have if you need to move.

Anyway, gradually, I became more comfortable in her apartment. I started doing stuff like rolling around in her bed, stealing her underwear and putting it in little plastic bags, soforth. As you would expect, I became more and more comfortable doing this, and crossed a line. She came home unexpectedly one day, early from work. Panicked, I hid under the bed in my uniform. Immediately, as she came through the door, she spotted my trench coat. Lying under her bed, the sound of my heavy breathing seemed a thousand times louder than it actually was. I could hear her rooting through the trench coat, and could hear the wrinkling of celophane as she found my empty plastic bags. Thank god they didn't yet have her used underwear in them.

I put my sweaty, meaty hands together and prayed.

I heard her walking around the apartment. Thankfully, she didn't bring anyone with her. My mind was flashing; the excitement had triggered my epilepsy. Suddenly, I was barraged with memories from my first anime program, revolutionary girl utena. I heard her walking around some more, and then sit down on the bed. I saw her clothes come off and hit the floor in front of me. During this time I was controlling myself and having a minor epileptic fit. I could see transformation sequences from anime programs I had watched. It was all coming together; the near hallucinations, the girl in the bed above me, and most of all, my sweaty fuku uniform.

She approached the bathroom and got into the shower. She turned on the water. I was convinced that this was the one moment I had been searching for. This was my chance to cross over into the other world described in Utena; the fabric of reality was thin. I could taste it. In many of my anime programs I had seen the seemingly normal characters, like me, enter into a world of magic and joy.

I rolled out from under the bed and bounded into the bathroom. She saw my large form approaching through the glass of the shower and started screaming. I was having epileptic flashes; the screaming sounded just like "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" I was having trouble walking, my steps staggered. I couldn't feel the floor. My meaty hands slammed the shower door open, but she sprayed me with a jet of water. The water triggered another fit and I seized, falling into the bath. She tripped and fell on top of me. As she was screaming and my blood filled the bath, it swirled around reality, and intermingled in my mind. Her screams, the blood, my sweat, the uniform, Japan, schoolgirls, magic, tragedy, terror, and hope all become one to me. For one moment, I could taste it. The anime reality. It was here, like a precious jewel perched between my meaty, sweaty pectorals. And then, gone.

SO yeah I like anime.

Yeah, I'm female and I have a horrible time with guys. out of the 21 boyfriends I've had, 16 have cheated on me... a staggering number.

So, I'm scarred for life. And now I'm in a situation where I like one of my friends....

Yeah. If you're a nice girl, perhaps it's only the assholes that want to go out with you, while the nice guys stay in the background.

I doubt you found 21 nice guys to date, since they're harder to find... but then again, maybe you want the assholes.

No, they should not be. It's one of the main benefits of text boards over image boards - I can read anything from the date the site was created, and respond to it, if it's worth bumping.

It's a shame that you asked this question in such a shitty thread. I don't really want to bump it, but it is an idea worth discussing.

61 Name: Anonymous : 2010-04-10 15:15 ID:Heaven [Del]

You know, it's kind of funny. I was thinking about making a new thread with a link to these old posts. I had post typed up and everything, explaining what I was doing. I scrapped it, however, deciding that it made more sense to just use an existing thread.

Oh, you just can't please people.

Anyways, there is:

  • No reason to sage a thread that's on the top of the thread list
  • No reason to complain about this, since this board is all but dead anyway

Now, if you'd like to put in your two cents on the topic, by all means go ahead. If you just want to whine about people reviving old threads, though, I think http://wakaba.c3.cx/soc/kareha.pl/1231630988/ would be a more worthy target.

> No reason to sage a thread that's on the top of the thread list

Actually there is a good reason to, in fact several. One being the link field already has 'sage' written in it because you always use sage anyway; another being maybe someone posted a new thread beforehand, which was mysteriously deleted (less plausible); or maybe you just don't want an ID attached to your post. There's plenty more reasons to sage the top thread, I'll let you think of them.

And this board isn't dead. >:|

Fair enough on the ID part, although I don't see the point, since your ID changes from thread to thread, IIRC.

If I can count the number of posts made in a week on one hand, the board is dead, especially when the majority of those posts are insubstantial. Maybe not as dead as some of the boards on 4-ch, but pretty close. It's a shame, too, with all of the interesting threads in its archives.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of a slow-paced BBS with large, provocative posts made somewhat regularly. The kind of board that I can check once at night, write up a few replies, then leave alone until the next night, where I'll come back to a few more serious or semi-serious posts. Unfortunately, The Society doesn't exactly measure up to that ideal, at the moment.

I wasn't talking about the point of using sage to hide your ID in general. I was talking about why you, in particular, would hide your ID with sage, when you don't seem to have made any other posts in the thread.

If you're here, we might as talk about something else.
Should threads be automatically locked after a certain time?

68 Name: Anonymous : 2010-04-11 22:45 ID:Heaven [Del]

Ah. Well no, I just don't bother clearing the link field.

On occasion I have found a rather old thread that I have had something to add to, so I would bump it. The alternative would be to start a new thread and make a point of mentioning the old thread, which makes the conversation feel disconnected and hard to follow.

I don't really see the practical benefit of locking threads after a time limit. If someone is bumping ancient threads with irrelevant garbage for the purpose of confusing the board, they should perhaps be banned. At the very least it ought to be possible to delete the last post in a thread and then move the thread back to where it was before the post was made, but I don't think there's any sane way to do that in Kareha, which really is a shame. (I suppose it could be done by parsing the last timestamp in every single thread, and then checking all the link fields for 'sage', but that's really ugly and far more effort than it really should be)

I also don't really see a point in locking threads after a post limit, for that matter. This would probably be more acceptable with a more database-oriented design, rather than flat files, which take longer to read the bigger they are. Maybe also impose a hard limit on the number of posts fetched at a given time from a thread -- e.g. maximum fetch of 1000 posts, which would more or less emulate Kareha's behavior of locking threads after that size. Then there'd be no need to do that [Part 6] on highly popular topics; it would be one logical thread which could be fetched in pieces as a "sliding window".
