    Okay, not to sound like a creep or anything, but... Kathleen feet. *anime nosebleed* Is it just me? ...It's just me isn't it? Some days it's tough being a foot guy.

    So I'm about to get into Anime...

    Hmm...action-y? Well, I got one, but it's not very sci-fi though. It's more modern-esque with some futuristic tech. But nonetheless, it's widely considered one of the best anime ever made. Code Geass. Just...just watch it. Trying to explain it will only waste my time. First 4 episodes, and you...

    Are liberal arts degrees inherently less valuable than math, science, and technology majors?

    As a Creative Writing major, I have to say...maybe. :P I know, it's a strange answer considering, but if you're being technical, my degree on its own will not get me many jobs. I'm getting it to help me improve as a writer so someday I can make a living off of it. But at the same time, I hate...

    Quotes from fictional characters that made you stop and think or have stuck with you.

    "False tears bring pain to those around you, a false smile brings pain to oneself." -C2, Code Geass

    No Code Geass? Ug, this list no longer interests me.

    I Hate People.

    Because people are programmed to think they are right. Even when they aren't. It's unfortunate, but basically most people will refuse to change their mind about anything. I would try to look up the studies, but by this post you probably already know this, plus I'm feeling lazy today :P

    Poll: Anime List Comparison

    Okay, maybe saying it was the "best' was an overgeneralization. But as far as the stories that I have experienced in my lifetime go, it is still one of my favorites. You can get all scholarly and say that it was maybe based on something that is common in theatre (which I have experienced little...

    First of all, if you had read any of the later posts you would know I apologized for my condescending tone. I just got a little defensive. Second, if the only way something could be good is if it was original, then basically everything would be disappointing. Because there is nothing new under...

    So, looking for a good fantasy series to read...

    Bioshock was basically entirely about Objectivism, and I still really enjoyed it. A writer can preach all he/she wants on a subject, as long as they tell a good story I could care less.

    So, looking for a good fantasy series to read...

    Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It's absolutely full of win.

    I can understand that. I'll admit that the series isn't perfect, but no story is. But I think there was purpose in what they did, even if it came as badly to some. Lelouche as a character was largely about his different masks. As in he was a different person depending on who was around and what...

    I'm a jerk because I explain why the show was good? Okay, maybe my tone sounded condescending, I'll admit. Text is notoriously bad at showing tone. But my goal was not to make you look bad, just show you why you might be wrong. At the very least I wanted you to see that story-wise it was...

    Bad? BAD? Did you even SEE the ending? I'm sorry, but it is hands down the greatest ending in the history of storytelling. It was the perfect culmination of both Lelouche's and Susaku's character development. After all their work and hardship, they both make one of the most difficult choices...

    Code Geass is probably one of the greatest shows ever made. And I don't watch anime. I'm assuming you didn't watch the entire series, because you really need to watch all of it to understand its brilliance. I'm a writer btw, I basically study story structure for a living. And I simply cannot get...

    The Meaning of Life

    You're doing it wrong. :P The fact that we are so insignificant in comparison to the universe is WHY everything has meaning. Do you realize how pointless things would be if life consisted of you and only you? According to many peoples definition of "important" you are now vastly so, since who...
