I hope nobody minds that I cleaned up the title a little bit.
yall niggers need to stop spamming my /lounge/ or imma hit u in da dick.

Shipping on wigs is very expensive. But I have no choice if I want it to be here on time. Damnit. I need to find a cheaper store.
Sakakibara Yui could use some coaching in English pronunciation. Only when I looked at the lyrics sheet did I figure out she meant to sing "Travel" and not "Sherbet".
Also, am I the only one who kind of regrets that the Japanese did not become as loanword-phobic as http://ja.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/%E6%95%B5%E6%80%A7%E8%AA%9E suggests?
>>702, you know, I do feel a little sorry for him. The backlash against Museo Sans is inevitable.
But then I remember he probably gets decent money for it so who gives a shit.
>>706 you and every slick 80s guy who thought Japan was going to kick the worldfs collective asses before it turns out the Japanese economy was built on 2007: The Preview. Those glegitimateh terms are fucking unworkable, which is more or less the point of the satire.
I refuse to give up.
A "truth or dare" thread might be nice, but in reality it'd basically just be a combination of the demand and question threads.
Really, it should have been inevitable. In a way, I'm surprised at how little stimulus it took in the end - then again, I seem to hate everyone apart from her; why should you be the exception? You cannot hope to compare to her, my dear. Don't even try.

I really want one of those Russian egg things. They look gorgeous.
I wonder if dakimakura of your waifu count as graven images.
My first name is Robert. I wish I could be an Andrew.
I hope I'm not getting a crush on somebody I've never met, it's just she's the cutest person I have ever seen by far, even on the internet.
"Don't you just want to kill everyone sometimes?"
"Yeah, killing everyone would be nice."
Episode 32 of Cardcaptor Sakura, where Syaoran and Kero switch bodies, is my favourite so far it is really good
Hahaha, I still haven't broken my New Year's resolution.
>>721
Internet crushes are the worst. You want to see the person so goddamn badly but you usually can't, at least not for months and months.
>>725
I don't even understand how they work.
For example Tokiko claims to have fallen madly in love with a girl over IRC. I'm all for adapting to new technologies and new sexual/romantic attitudes, but how does this even work? I could make someone fall in love with me just by typing.
>>726
They don't, do they?
When did he say this? I don't see that on the archives. There's a lot of hate against IRC on the boards. Don't just believe every rumor about the shitposter of the week...
Go back to /jp/ and die happily.
Outerworld Destroyer in DOTA 2 really owns. He's a little hard to use at first but man he really gets going.
Damnit, I'll do it! Yeah!
I have four hundred dollars!
I'm thinking about lighting a one hundred dollar bill on camera and recording it. What song should I play? Should I jerk off onto it first or something? I'm not good at modern art!
>>732 I hold the opinion that it isn't art if you don't know what or why you're doing it, unless that's the point
I am having shrimp for dinner.
Still have some vodka left from last night, alongside the vivid memory of sexual foreplay with a friend who kept me company. Well, guess I'll drink to that.
It isn't art unless you don't know what you're doing.
I read Oyasumi Punpun every day. It's practically my Bible.
>>737
Do you re-read it, or are you just taking your time to progress a little each day? Either world make sense, it's a really VIP manga. I'm just curious, think nothing of it!
>>738
I consumed it like a starving child in Africa when I first read it. Nowadays I read one to two chapters a day, maybe more if my appetite calls for it. It's part of my daily routine now for some reason.
>>739
Hey, I also binge-read Oyasumi Punpun over the course of two days. I too was enamored with it, but once I had some time to reflect more, I realized that it's a little flawed. It's hard to explain though so I'll just shut up and let you enjoy it as long as it lasts.
>>740
I'd be happy to hear you explain why you think it's flawed, actually.
Does the thought of bottles red and black
The thought of tongues which taste you back
Fill you with a nauseous elation
THAT'S what it was! I kept hearing it as "nosy oscillation".
Looking through old chatlogs...so nostalgic...so erotic...
>>741
I'm hesitant to explain mainly because I cannot clearly form my thoughts. For one thing, I read it 6 months ago. I have a bad memory and can't recall specifics. However, I'll try my best to explain the impressions that remain - just take it with a tablespoon of salt.
Oyasumi Punpun has beautiful art, an engaging plot, and much more complex characters than your average manga. It really is a great work. I think it achieved its goals most perfectly in the childhood days.
However, as Punpun grows older, the manga loses some of its focus and depth. Its depiction of humanity is skewed. All the characters are frustratingly introspective. Now, having experienced deep depression and being pretty neurotic myself, I identified with this. However, there's more to life than that.
I think maturing entails gaining greater awareness of the world around you, and using this awareness to take control of your own fate and truly care for others. Yet most characters in Punpun never transcend their 20-something angst. It's a step up from teenage angst, but still an over-simplified perspective on the probles of the soul.
In short, I appreciated Oyasumi Punpun's look into the dark cyclic minds of lonely souls, but it wasn't as nuanced as I'd hoped.
>>744
I can see why it seems...would the correct word be "repetitive"? I understand why you'd view it like that. However, as someone who not only struggles with depression, but also a plethora of disabling mental illnesses, to me it's a perfect reflection of what life is like for someone with a severe distortion of reality. And reading it is a fresh experience for me every time, as it's something I can always relate to no matter the hour.

Today, a Japanese woman called me "onii-chan". That is all.
>>745
I'm the other one from earlier, and this also accurately describes what I feel about the story. The apparent lack of realism from another perspective is there because it's hard to believe something that one has not experienced for themselves, or to that extent.
>>750
Good luck! Don't over-exaggerate or she'll feel nervous and turn you down, even if you're a nice guy.
dota blows
>>747,749
I see where you guys (girls?) are coming from. Oyasumi Punpun does a great job of showing what the world looks like through mentally troubled eyes. I recognize that it's often repetitive and frustrating on purpose. And I especially love the "god of poop" perspective - I think that's where the manga really shines.
However, I would like to say this - I don't recommend using it as a bible. It offers a cynically realistic portrayal of many problems, but it doesn't offer many solutions. (Nor does it try, since that's not the point.) It's a good read, but if you're really looking for a bible, look elsewhere.
>>750
You can do it. Chill out and be casual/confident about it. (Easier said than done, I know!) Even if you're rejected, just consider it practice for the next time.
>>753
Haha, yes, it doesn't offer any solutions at all. Maybe we'll see something at the end. The appeal is very similar to that of Welcome to the NHK and Tatami Galaxy.
>>753
Well, when I use the word "Bible" I mean moreso that I read it as much as a religious person would read their Bible. I do not use it as an answer for my problems.
I am forever a lonely person even when there is someone who loves me
I'm really worried that the person I want to love feels like >>756.
I prefer being alone, so I have no connections outside of my immediate family. Yet recently, I've realized the importance of developing interpersonal relationships for success in life, and I recognize my preference for remoteness as a personal failing. Despite this, I still feel unmotivated to put forth any effort towards changing my personality and social habits.
>>758
Connections are important for success, but I think you don't necessarily need to make a big change toward your personality or habits. You can stay remote and plan meetings with other people on your own time. During these meetings, you don't need to talk much, just ask questions and give them eye contact, listening as if you really care. Share just enough about yourself that they're willing to reciprocate, but you don't need to go overboard.
Fuck; everything is wrong. I usually don't let people know the degree to which I truly understand them, but when I am completely inebriated I end up mentioning things which frighten them in their factuality. It helps me lose friends fast - after all, who enjoys being truly transparent?
I'm once again glad to be a teetotaler and only lose control of my faculties to the tune of occasional sleep deprivation.
Gloves.
Well I suppose I can always delete it, but that isn't going to stop me twitching.
jerking off
It's a hard life.
But alas, what can I do but keep on running ?
I've recently started playing the computer game based on The Black Cauldron and realized that the Chapman brothers' game, Peasant Quest, is probably inspired by it in part.
i gotta stop entering these battles of wits unarmed
I should have gotten jalepenos in my burger.
Just finished watching all 74 episodes of "Monster" over the past week. It's pretty good, though a bit slow-paced in parts. Could easily have been half the length.
772 is an excellent number.
774 is a pretty blah number. I feel bad for the guy.
It's all I deserve.
Why do people abuse people who love them?
I can't believe E3 2012 is on Tuesday. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing while I watched it last year. I remember the feelings I had about the person I loved, and the confusion I had about my life. It's insane how much has changed in one year.
>>778
I often find myself looking back and thinking, "Wow, I'm actually XX years old. This is wild."
Times seems to pass increasingly quickly with age.
>>778
Speaking of E3, who else is going to be watching it all day tomorrow?
>>781
The question should be aimed to highlight those NOT watching it all day tomorrow.
My friends are talking on skype, but I'm having a hard time understanding what they're saying. I think I'm forgetting English.
Last night I had a dream involving the gravity gun from Half Life 2 being used in Minecraft. That would be pretty awesome.
FUCK E3
I WANT GAMES NOT SOCIAL FACBUCK BULLSHIT AND APPS APPS APPS APPS
zombies are fucking lame
E3 has really sucked so far
>>786-san here. I saw the Halo 4 thing. That all looked pretty sweet. Poor Cortana.
In other news. I am going to ask a girl too dinner. Wish me luck.
Time to decompress like an empress.
I really love salty caramel.
The alternative is unthinkable. Let's just leave everything as it is, shall we?
You're just lazy and will use your whole time to fap anyway
>>787 is a hipster. He liked zombies better when they were still underground.
I think that my girlfriend is cheating on me right now, and there's nothing I can do about it.
She was.
I couldn't.
Now she wants to break up with me. Fuck my life, best end it now. Goodbye DQN.
