  1. I don't think I've ever heard "approximately" used as a lyric. I like Indian curry, Indian curry like Thai curry, I like Thai curry! :3 You're funny. Though I think in the end none of this adds up. Haha. Windows 10 kinda sucks in some obvious ways.
  2. Yay thanks
  3. Wilkommen in die Klasse
  4. Number 1 for me!? <3 Or another if you think there's a better choice~ and um, a random special request. Can you put one centered just above my name on my sig?? I love this
  5. Aimer is great! I've loved Yanagi Nagi for a long time but her music tends to be more crazy than I can handle.
  6. Voluntary. Though it coincided a lot with my other goals in life like moving out of state, cheaper standard of living, getting my own place, getting another job (which pays more), new experiences etc. So it was a really easy decision and relatively easy to pull off since I was ready at the time (and even easier with Cyr's support). Logged in on my phone just to fangirl. I am fangirling so hard right now like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Glad everything is working out! Confession: I usually don't confess much but here's to Linova/Eclipsed or others who might be interested. I'm glad I was able to break the 1000+ miles barrier. It always felt like this huge wall in between us. It felt like it didn't matter how long or how often we talk. I know that if it had stayed online, nothing would have came out of it. It only served to maintain the interest until something happens. Given the distance there was always uncertainty, of whether I we'd work out "IRL" and there was no way of answering that online (Even 8+ hours of skype calls won't get close to answering that). Since Cyr won't be able to do anything about it in a reasonable time, it was up to me. I had to act and get it together. Luckily I had already been saving up and preparing for my move months even before I met her and had interest in that part of the US. After awhile I was ready, but I won't just move there with nothing to back me. So I absolutely had to have a more-than-minimum-job lined up already before the move. This was really tough. Given the job market and the fact that I'm so far out of state. Most hire locally and won't bother to look online. Only one came up and it was super risky. It was a Tuesday when I got the notice for the interview, which would be held that Friday. I have to pay hundreds of $$, fly for the weekend and back, take a day off from my current workplace --- all without reimbursement. It was higher pay and huge company so I thought why not. I came out disappointed that weekend because the job i interviewed for wasn't what I was expecting it to be. Though long story short, I ended up getting it because they opened up a new (different) position for me. Anyways, When it came to it, the 1000+ miles drive was nothing. Gunned it in 2 shots. I guess I'm lucky Cyr's not in another country or something. But I'm leaving away established familiar place, friends, and family for the sake of this move. Looking for an apartment was tough. Lots of challenges but it helped me tones that I had $$$ saved up and Cyr saved my butt so many times. P.S: Unfortunately, though everything worked out and I'm super satisfied with many aspects of my life right now, my new job is making me unhappy. I applied to places (near me of course) already 2 weeks into my new job. I have one interview this week in field that I want to be in. (proof that I can easily get interviews if I'm part of the local pool... as with entry-level jobs). Hopefully I can get it and it's a better job, so I can start thinking about enjoying the moment and looking into the future. THIS SHIP JUST GOT EQUIPPED WITH AN FTL DRIVE More like Battlecruiser operational Take it slow
  7. You seem like a great person. Reading your post makes me wish I still talked to people online as I once did. Cheers
  8. I love angelic voices and voices like in my videos the most I guess. Journey has a good soundtrack, but I want something else. New stuff. I like this Roy Kim song a lot. And I really really like the LYn one! I'll look into those two, thanks so much. The Xavier Rudd song is good. Will look into him as well. I'll check out the Life is Strange ost. I'm not opposed to osts absolutely but they tend to have intense songs mixed in when I just want calm.
  9. I appreciate it. I do like Rie Fu a lot. I'm trying to stay away from soundtrack music for the most part. I'll give those a listen anyway thanks
  10. Hey people. Recently I've been very much enjoying listening to my favorite korean singer but I havent had much luck finding singers like her, in any language. I'd appreciate it if people could give me some suggestions for music that sounds similar to this kind of thing. Japanese, Chinese, English, and Korean are all good! I really enjoy the channel VoicedOut but most of the music there isn't vocal. Which is fine except that sometimes I want vocal stuff ^^ I very much like the laid back feel of it. Simple stuff. Guitar or piano. Maybe some other small stuff or a nice relaxed drum beat. Soft vocals, preferably female. Does anyone have any suggestions? Just found this and I kind of like it. I can't get into male voices as much but the rest of it is nice. Maybe the music is a bit too busy and forceful as well. It's getting there though Thought I'd throw it out. Maybe get some discussion in the GD or something. Or maybe just some recs. That'd be nice. Thanks for anything you guys can give me.
  11. What about Flumpool?
  12. Read in Chloe Lemaire's voice. Too perfect.
  13. I thought it was funny ^^
  14. Confession but not really: I like the twilight books
  15. Remember to eat your lettuce too~
  16. 8/10 it's a great picture and I really like her ^^
  17. Looks tasty! Tyrael and Hanako, I'm glad you liked it! It was just too fitting not too post. http://m.mangafox.me/manga/onani_master_kurosawa/
  18. Yea, I'm surprised I wasn't able to see it this way until reading this. Bad on me. Good luck with things.
  19. social media is cancer
  20. Aww you <3333 And oshi- I thought I deleted that part after determining probably that no one would ever get it. In simple terms, it's goofy and I like to be goofy. Though I want to work on being more articulate, I want to hold onto at least some of that oddness that I think makes me interesting. And so I frontlined it because, truly, I don't know why tennis courts do what they do to me. Not quite sure if it makes sense. Not that I have any precedent of being anything but informal. I'll try my hardest! Short ver: it's goofy, I'm goofy, deal with it. But also ima try to be more articulate in the future. It's like, my attempt at a turning point, yo. Mhm mhm, yea. Opening up reader contexts is something that I think could go a long way. Maybe it's not the greatest group of people who are open to viewing something in a new light, but just some would be wonderful. Hnng that last part is so tempting! Stop it, you! You know just how to charm me! I came up with the thread title when I was walking past the tennis courts here a week or two ago and I felt like people needed to know! Ive felt like this for years though
  21. It's true, it's true, I must confess. I feel an inexplicable yearning every time I see them. Hi, I'm ara and I'm mostly dumb, but hang in there with me, okay? I've been on fuwa for well over a year and now over 1000 posts. It's been pretty great and I've met a good number of people I very much enjoyed talking to. I made a lot of friends and stopped talking to just about as many, sadly. But the reason I post is because I actually want to talk about myself and my hopes and ambitions. I'd really appreciate it if you read my post with an open mind. One of my greatest passions is understanding and appreciating stories (and characters). These things that people write, draw, animate, or film. And I'm sure there are a number of other ways of storytelling, but for me, the stories I read about in books, manga, and anime seem to hold a special place in my heart. And the thing is that I don't think anyone really sees things the way I do a lot of the time. I won't get ahead of myself and tell you guys about how special I am and how I have this great vision or whatever, but there's definitely something different in the way everyone experiences stories, right? I believe a lot of that comes from contexts and from the reader's willingness to open their heart to the story. I care about many stories and I care about them in ways that I don't see people talking about. I care about facets of them that are often left undiscussed and it pains me every time I see someone bash something I love when it seems to me that they misunderstood "the really interesting part" or failed to appreciate the enjoyable uniqueness of the story. What I want to do is try to share my feelings with other people. I want other people to understand the way I feel and look at things with the same caring eyes that I do. I want to share with people the stories that I love and the things I love about them. Whether or not you may disagree, I think something wonderful can come from trying to transcend the singular context with which you read a story and see it in a new light. Or maybe it's just not very quality, but good in very specific and unique respects. That's cool too, right!? People, appreciate these things!! So I've been musing for a while. "I spend too much time talking to people online about nothing" "But you like talking to people, you like connecting and fangirling over things with people and sharing your passions" and thoughts like these, although recently they've been tainted with this general cynicism about online relationships. Yea, yea. Normal stuff. Sorry I'm not a hilarious breath of fresh air. But what occurred to me is that I should try to write. Actually write for other people as much as for myself, to try to build a bridge between their understanding of stories and my own, and hopefully get people to love some of the things I do for the reasons I do. So I want to take my 1000th-ish post time in the spotlight to say two things. 1. If you're looking for someone to talk to or feel lonely or want a friend or someone to bash ur fookin' 'ead in, I'll try to be a mate for ya. You can message me on fuwa or add me on skype or whatever you want and we can spend all the day chatting idly about why $0$ is a hilarious nickname for s0s or whatever garbage comes up. 2. I'm planning on writing something that may be called postviews or something... Thoughts on stories I've read and things that I think other people might have something to gain in thinking about. I think I'll do this as a blog function or something but I'm not entirely sure. The process might end up being too formal for my fool-ass self, but I want to at least bring it up in the hopes that someone cares and maybe we can talk about stories. Because I don't like sitting around thinking about why I love this and that so much without having anyone to share it with. Life is better spent with a friend. So, I hope you've enjoyed a glimpse into my mind as I post this awkward post with a fittingly awkward title that only makes sense if you really really think about it. I swear I'm only a little crazy! But I hope that I can share some of my craziness with you guys in the future. It's been a pleasure being on fuwa, but I seriously need an outlet for all of my thoughts and I think people are getting tired of my incomprehensible explanations. (Shoutout to HMN who won't read this but who is super amazing) Also this thread will function as an AMA for anyone that wants to ask pretty much anything or just talk about things. Idk! I didn't think that hard about this post, okay? gosh. Though I expect I scared most of you off with the text above.
  22. did you ever read Steven Lichman? What about It's A hard Life? (thanks Lino) Also you're really funny, if I wasnt trying to stop talking to people online so much I'd definitely try to get in your pants talk to you more
  23. I was waiting for the Nichijouesque third zoom, but that's pretty much my life as well xD Sometimes I (allegedly) have conversations with my mother in the morning before she leaves for work that I swear I just dont remember. And so I'll apparently have told her I'll do this or that and then just dont do anything. She literally didn't believe me for years
