Oh, I meant, how did you feel about the format of the seminar as you described it? The fact that it was all verbal, few visual aids except for sign language interpreters?

Nothing in particular. :lol: I've been in several seminars, except mostly at the time I'm not a participant. And most seminars I've been to as a participant does not involve much interaction.

While I didn't thought or wonder about how anyone could still have energy, more like I just realized my own upper limit -- which I only had just found out during the event...

My own question would be in the lines of "How or why is my (interaction stamina) limit?" And it's factors… Since I never truly get to know that for myself. :lol:
And kinda answers my question wondering why members in this forum talks about it while I haven't brought it up myself when I never encountered it for as long as I ever had my last meltdown -- which is about when I was around 14.

I am thinking about the dead frog I found at my last job today. I had thought it was a plastic one, but it wasn't - it was all dried out and I found it on the floor. I picked it up and showed it to my employer, who said it probably came inside and then couldn't get back out, and there was no moisture in there so it died. She had a stray frog in her bathroom the week before, but as she found it and put it back outdoors, hopefully it lived.


I never had anything like that happen to me when I drank - she got into another car accident too she said going to the supermarket (It was actually a few feet from the liquorstore - big surprise). :roll: It's the Biatch's physical symptoms that keep me on the wagon. I may be depressed now, but what sleep I get is real sleep, I don't feel sick from hangovers, I have no heartburn (I was popping antacids like there was no tomorrow) and I have had zero panic attacks. That's what I gotta keep in mind. I sure don't want to go back to that crap again. Mary (who lives under her) says she can hear her crying all the time, puking all the time and falling down several times a day. Who would want to live like that?! Definitely not me.

Ugh. I have a lot of Spring cleaning to do, but absolutely no energy. I need another nap. Have some things to do on the deck today, but it's supposed to rain again. I guess washing the car is out too. Crap.

At least, the rain would be a starting point to your car washing. Then, when it stops, there's a least a little water to help you clean.

If you're a single person, and aren't too much of a slob, all you might have to do is dust, and to clean the kitchen and bathroom somewhat thoroughly.

I don't know! 8O


Does it matter if it is? Isn't Kiki genderless [sort of]?
None of the couples in my books are straight. :P

I don't really understand the appeal of 'shipping', but I do wish that Tohru in Fruits Basket became a couple with Yuki instead of Kyo. That's the only official couple that I have trouble with.

Kyo was a huge jerk. I don't understand why so many fangirls find him appealing. Then again, I've had crushes on characters who were outright villains, so I don't have room to talk. :o

I'm a bit tired of the 'bad/jerky boy is reformed through the power of love by the pure, sweet girl' stories. Plus, he's a tsundere, and I don't care for that archetype at all [or yanderes, for that matter].

I find it particularily annoying that the author had to make Yuki do a 180 and suddenly not love Tohru, after about fourteen volumes of great chemistry, genuinely sweet moments, a kiss, and even what amounts to a non-verbal love confession.

The scene above and the lead up to it is one of my favourite parts of any manga; so much so that I bought the volume it occurs in just for that reason.

After seeing those scenes, I'm genuinely surprised that the author suddenly that Tohru should end up with Kyo in the end like that.

I kind of like female tsunderes. To me their meanness comes across as being artificial, like they're just teasing the character they truly love but are actually sweet deep down. But I really dislike male tsunderes because they just come across as jerks.

Weirdly enough, I actually really enjoy "yandere" characters of either gender, possibly because I understand how they feel to an extent. (I can PM you details if you want to discuss yanderes further, because I don't feel comfortable talking so openly about how I relate to them...) But I will say that I really dislike the "fandom" that has developed around yanderes, because the majority of them are just a bunch of dumb kids trying to be edgy.

Tsunderes in general just confuse me. "So do you like that person or not? Why be so contradictory?"

Oh, that's okay. I can see why some people can relate to them.

I'm glad you understand why some people can relate to yanderes. I really didn't want to explain why I enjoy them because I don't want you to get a bad impression of me. You're my very best friend and I love talking to you every day. I don't want that to ever change... :heart:

Even if you did explain it, it wouldn't lower my opinion of you at all.
Aww! That's very nice! Thank you! :heart: :D
