I'm surprised your parents even know what Anime is, my parents see anything with animation a cartoon.

Really? My parents don't know the word anime, but they can see when something is "from Japan" as they say it.

My sister was really really into it in middle and high school. Like, inserting-random-Japanese-words-into-conversation into it. So she made sure they knew what anime was.

My parents didn't know what yaoi or yuri was. But when they'd make those kinds of speculations about my sister, I would explain it to them and why they were different, and the fact that my sister was only into one and not the other.

See, on the other hand, I actually have become a yuri fan since coming to terms with my sexuality. It was actually the lesbian couple in Sailor Moon while I was reading the manga that caused me to realize that I really wanted to date other girls and wasn't just "bicurious." (Well, them, and the lesbian couple in Skins.)

I dunno if I should even comment on my interest for Yuri and other lesbian related materials.

Anyway, I think I'm developing Insomnia. I can't sleep, and I can stay awake for 24 hours, only to wake up at 7 in the morn the next day and go on for another 30. :/

That can't be good :-( Do you feel tired when this happens but unable to fall asleep, or do you just feel like you don't need sleep?

I just feel like I don't need to sleep, even if I should. Being online for 3 months now till 4 in the morning caused this. My own damn fault, but still I never had a problem when I used to do it 4-5 years ago.

Yeah, the Internet can definitely fuck with your sleeping habits. I think I've just gotten used to it at this point, but I've heard that it's a good idea to stay away from bright screens (so, computers or TV) for at least a half hour to an hour before bed.

...............Kinda hard considering how I sleep on the couch, its the warmest room of the apartment, and I need TV to sleep. Ah screw it, I'll get over it eventually. I hope.

I have voluntary insomnia. Regulr side effect of severe procrastination.

I'd probably be paired up with someone weird, and it would have no relation to who I respond to and/or talk to.

@Chespin; You should see some of the shipping that happens in the user fanclubs.

It makes me kind of glad I don't have one. Kind of. I still really want one. :)

Shipping is for squares. Why do you have to think of names for ships?

Just say GBM + Chespin.

Heyletsgetdrunk would be me with anyone, since I usually need alcohol to not be too socially-awkward and scared to express any feelings I might have.

Getting drunk also makes me more dismissive of people I'm not interested in who are persistent, so it's win-win!

Confucius said "On the Internet nobody knows that you are a horse. NOBODY!"

Basically, people act completely different OTI than IRL.

@Jolene; Oh yeah, I'm totally a different person online.

It's kind of distressing, really, because I've been told I often come off as attractive online. But I have some serious issues with social anxiety IRL, so that's why I'm perpetually dateless and desperate and sad. :-(

I always thought you looked similar to Lust. Then again, she was your avatar. I associate faces with names, well avatars in this case.
