Writing introductions is a bit tedious so....just take a look at my first post if you want to know more....
....and if you get curious about the name of this World or my posts, check out the second one.

Let's Eat the World's End
Recently I've been feeling like my apartment is shaking. We had a really big earthquake a couple weeks ago, maybe you saw it on the news.......It happened at 5am so of course I promptly woke up and screamed like a Hollow was chasing me. Then I took a deep breath and screamed some more. And then I reached for the glass of water by my bed since it was kind of feeling like I had swallowed a razorblade after all that, and realized the water was no longer in the glass, but all over the table. Which meant that a lot of other things were probably all over the floor. And the noises which my sleep-stupidized mind took to be the plates of the earth grinding against each other had probably been my bookshelves shaking themselves away from the walls.
Yep.
Broken glass eeeeeeverywhere. And, even worse, broken Evangelion models. So much work putting those damn things together the first time....I didn't take any pictures, but there was also an interesting combination of vinegar & olive oil on my kitchen floor. I called up my dad in Florida to tell him, "hey this happened, don't freak out." and in the most un-dad-like moment of possibly his entire life he said to me, "well, just throw some lettuce down there Katy & you'll have a salad."
WTF?
So anyway, recently every time I lie down at night it feels like things are shaking. They might be for all I know. We did have quite a few aftershocks the same day & in the ones that followed. But now it's like I can't tell the difference between real shaking, drunk-induced shaking, imaginary-paranoid shaking, and 6th-floor-inevitable shaking. In fact, none of these things may be happening at all........
...I'm sick of shaking, never waking from the hell I achieve...
Welcome to Purgatory
It's hot here.
Also, some kind of hot-key has activated itself on my laptop making typing a whole new kind of psychedelic experience. As such, this post will only last as long as I can go without freaking out and causing permanent and regrettable damage.
A lot of things happened this summer vacation. Of course, it's not over for another 2 weeks, but I'm kinda out of money for the time being. I haven't edited them yet, but I did take some pictures so hold on a bit longer!
I went to Odaiba to see the "life-size" original Gundam in all its 30th anniversary glory. I also went to summer Comiket with some girls I know and we saw a lot of really good cosplayers. They convinced me I should get back into it so it looks like this winter I'll be going as Lenalee!
Since I used up most of my summer holidaey on going to Tokyo a few times I've gotta sit around the office till school starts up again with the new kids. They suck. But I've got two iPods and a sketchbook so I'm getting a lot of work done.
It seems I'm acting more otaku recently. I've been watching an anime called K-On! It's pretty stupid. And moe. I hate moe. But there's only 13 episodes so I guess I'll finish it. I've been obsessing over Evangelion 2.0 again. I wonder if it's still in the theater....
...finally found shots of Asuka's test plugsuit and Mari's pink one....

Princess and Dragon
WARNING:spoilers!!!!!
Today I saw this movie in the theater. And guess what? IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!
Haaaa......as if we didn't expect that, right? I've been waiting for this movie since the first one was out two years ago. Sure, the first one was cool, it even made me like Shinji & Rei a bit more than I did in the original TV show. But this time.......
....that's right, my favorite character. ASUKA!!!!! Ah.......she was awesome. A little different from the original series, but I still liked her. I talked to my friend at the model shop afterward & he said, "What do you think about her character changing? It seems like she's becoming more like a good kid." And I said, "Yeah, but I still like her." And he said, "Because you're the same?" (he knows all about it) & I said, "Yep, so I understand that probably, Asuka wanted to be good all along." She said some really great things just before her last scene in the movie about thinking it was better to live alone & be strong alone & how she'd started to think that maybe being with other people was fun. And then she got in Unit 03 (yes, Asuka, not Toji) to test it and just before the craziness took over she said, "I'm smiling......huh.....smiling......." And in the preview for the 3rd movie she had an eyepatch! I sooo want to cosplay her even more now. Oh, and she had a different plugsuit for test piloting & it was waaay cute!
And then there was this girl. Mari. I was mad about her being in the movie before I saw it b/c, fundamentally, this is supposed to be Asuka's movie. However, she totally won me over. I loved her Unit 05 even if it was only around a short time, & the other plugsuit (pink!) that she wore when she "borrowed" Unit 02 was cool too. It kinda reminded me of Anemone's from Eureka 7. I liked her b/c her personality was similar to Asuka's but she seemed a little more adult. Also, she did some crazy cool thing that I don't think anyone watching understood, but it involved glowing circles on her hands & chest (on her plugsuit) and made glowing cylinders come out of Unit 02's back so it could become more powerful for a short time. Her eyes glowed & her teeth got all pointy looking like an animal too!
I'm not entirely sure, but I think Mari is supposed to be American. Most of the scenes involving her & not the other main characters were all in English w/Japanese subtitles which was cool for me. Apparently the subtitles were too fast though b/c I was talking to this lady who sat near me (& cried through almost the entire movie!) afterwards & she said she was jealous that I could understand those parts. Kaworu wasn't in the movie as much as I would have liked, but I know they're just teasing people with him right now anyway. It was enough to work on me, that's for sure! He did come down in his Eva at the very end (from the moon!) and attack.....or something? It looks like there's a lot of him in the next movie, and Mari & Asuka too. Of course, it's evident that Shinji & Rei are really meant to be the main characters now, but I like what they're doing with both of them this time around so maybe it's ok. We'll see.
You can (not) advance.
