Ooh, four years! Congratulations, friend-o ^_^ *hug* You've seen a lot of good, bad and...incredibly weird, huh? You patient, patient individual. Well, I met you through here when I joined and I hope we remain friends for a long time too~

Maybe if you're here for another four years, I'll have actually released a story-game in that time. Huh.

I'm in Canada so it's not out, but I have an American account from when I lived down there so I picked it up. I enjoy it...I'm amused by how many stops and gyms there are in areas that are frequented by teenagers. I enjoy it but mostly it's just kinda silly and fun to mess with when I'm not home.

I remember (vaguely) almost drowning as a kid, but yeah, I also lived in Australia so...snakes? And just general Australia-ness.

I also got really sick once...like, high fever and hallucinations level sick? I dunno if I almost died, but I know I was not well.

Nothing like that recently though, thank goodness.

The only thing I know about this guy is Kiel's review tombstone. The tombstone was amazing, but this person's writing...isn't. To say the least. And that's just from what I've seen here.

As I see it, Kiel's joke was funny, and Beven's writing is a joke? Does that sound about right? 

I absolutely love that video, I've seen it a few times. Really nice slam poetry.

As for bullying, I got bullied by everyone in my sixth grade year for just...being weird and a little overweight. People tried in middle school but when I didn't really give a shit because elementary school had made me depressed, jaded and apathetic, they stopped and just talked about me behind my back instead, something else I ignored. High school, I just kinda was there, but no one bullied me, so...cool? 

Congrats, buddy =3 

To be perfectly honest, almost every (serious) song I've ever listened to gives me something to work with creatively, whether it's a character or a story narrative or whatnot. I just kind of...run through videos and ideas in my head based on what I'm listening to. 

To name a few specifics, "From Heads Unworthy" by Rise Against and "Silver Moonlight" by Within Temptation are usually songs that inspire me...the first one helps if I'm writing something or someone particularly rebellious at best, or someone aiming for revolution at worst. Silver Moonlight makes me think of the relationship between two of my VN characters Raine and Kiro. There's also "Nightmare" by Set It Off that is currently giving me a little bit of inspiration for Gear, another VN character of mine.

But really, a lot of music inspires things from me...my character Seth's entire existence started with a song I listened to called 'Yuki's Death' (can't remember the artist's name), and while he's changed a lot from then, that is where he started, 

My psychology professor actually showed this to my my class. It was rather amazing. I love this video.
