Welcome home Sanitarium

(Let's play a little game. Try to count the times I use awesome in just one post :) )
Is this greeting getting boring? It could be. Perhaps I should create a catchphrase. Something I'll always use as a greeting and it'll be awesome and everyone will know it's me. Yeah, no, that ain't gonna happen :P .
So I come with a surprise today. I'm (almost) happy! Yes! No nagging (yet) and no miserable stories from the crypt that my life has ended up being. Yes, finally, I can confess that, even though my love life downright sucks ass, another part of my life, and that is, the japanese class and generally my social contacts are pretty awesome. I woke up yesterday in a terribly awfull mood. Emo stuffs, really. However as the day advanced, I found myself feeling better and better, with the pinacle of the day (or night, cause it gets really dark after like 5 pm now, so...) being my japanese class. Seems like people don't actually hate me for existing, and some might even like me. I had loads of fun and the (new) girl I like even talked to me! How super special awesome is that? By the way, yes, I've been watching Yu-Gi-Oh : The Abridged Series lately among the other things I do.
And by other things, I come to my second very very cool point of this post. NaNoWriMo. Aha... Yeah, turns out I majorly suck and will never actually manage to finish the story I came up with, but I do try to put pressure on me, and at least write, even if that means writing 100 words per day. Normally I need to put down at least 5000 per day, something that for 5 consecutive days now I've been avoiding. I've barely reached the first 1000 and it's my 5th day. It's a start though... Perhaps there will come a day when I am able to actually reach 2000 in a day. And if that happens during this month, then I'll be pleased. The story I came up with, (and I don't know if I really came up with it, or had the assistance of others. If the second happens, then I wish you all die and burn in hell. I never asked for your fucking help, you losers) seems pretty good in my head, although I don't know if I actually have the talent to go with it. Perhaps I should stop reading mangas and comics and focus on books, to get my head straight, about how literature works and not drawings. Anyways...
I actually have quite a lot to say, but for some reason, I feel very pressured. I need to go and write. And that's something I don't normally say, so really, perhaps NaNo is helping. By the way, I really hate the way SOME people keep on telling me to write, after having read what I've already written. IT'S NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSSINESS, OK? Try telling me what you think until now, and leave the scheduling to me. (I'm not talking about Marilena btw)
... It's quite the miracle really. I started this post filled with amazingly good mood, and ended up completely angry. Perhaps I should kill my friends and then lock myself in a mental institute... That'll help me keep calm... Probably... Anyways. See ya next week

O Death
The last day left me with a bad aftertaste. I didn't really do anything, and for the most time, I was running up and down talking to people, mostly strangers that I do not like, or don't care about. I was worrying right out of my skull, trying to summon the courage to go and ask the phone of the girl that I (think) I liked. To add to my worries, my friends who were supposed to bring me my second cosplay outfit for the evening, decided to take their time, leaving me normally dressed for quite a long time. Not their fault really, however, when you're flipping out, blaming others is a good way to avoid going completely crazy. This and that happened, and generally, Saturday was not as good as I had planned it to be. It did have quite the good ending though, with my OTHER friends coming over and taking my mind off things, cause the friends I had around, decided they had spent way too much time with me. I guess in this world, nothing ever goes exactly as planned. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop planning things out. (Yes, I thought of that yesterday before I went to bed, and I REALLY wanted to say it somewhere and sound cool).
However, a good night's sleep changed my mind, and my view on things. I need to look at the big picture. I seriously had fun, the first two days at least. Even the last day was fun, in its own pecculiar way. Last night I was really dissapointed at myself. I hadn't talked to the girl I wanted to, and I had practically watched her ignore me for the biggest part of the day. Which is something I did right back at her, in order to follow my own code of social behaviour, something that a lot of people seem to ignore. Naturally, I can't expect other to follow MY code, but I always kinda thought that was the normal thing to do. Don't force your way into someone elses's private space, when he/she doesn't seem to want to do the same. Well, I think this pretty much sums up my whole set of rules really :P. Perhaps if I think about it, there are more, but right now this is the one I'm interested in. On Friday, she seemed to seek out my company, whilst yesterday she seemed to simply ignore me. Now, it's not something I really worry about, since in the end, I accomplished many other things during the event. First of all, I made a name for myself. By being part of the group that organised the whole thing, by wearing a well placed and kind social mask, I got accepted by others. We had a huge success, and that opened quite a few doors for the group.
And waking up today, I had one question for myself. Why was I so desperate about that girl? It's not that I don't like her or anything. But I don't think I like her enough to go and beat up myself about not getting her number and being ignored by her. Truth is, what I was really after (the thing she has, that the other girls in my life right now) is my friend's approval. Why have I not done something with Kostas' sister? I've liked her since the last summer. That's 1 year. 1 YEAR! But as soon as I let other people hear what I think, they flood me with their opinions to which I have to comply. Or at least that's what I think I have to do. I believe I have to make others happy, and that's why I can't always do what I want to do. Not that I really know what I want... I mean, is this even true? Do I really let the opinions of others control my life? I guess the answer is somewhere in the middle. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.
The point right now though is not that. Even if I have overcome last night's deppresion, doesn't mean my head is clear enough to know what does it want. (Those thoughts btw are really messing me up. Come to think of it, this is who I am. A person who does not know who he is. I'm someone who seeks the attention of others, always trying to please them, so that he can be accepted by them. But is this the true me? WHO is the true me? Meh, I'm just (not) kidding. I'm probably me, just going through a minor identity crisis). Anyways...
See ya soon
(BTW this probably means there will be no other post for the next week, since I double posted this week :P)

The New Order
Now, this week has been significantly better than the previous two ones, for no particular reason... Well, ok, there are a few reasons, but I don't think they're really important. Or maybe they are. I don't know. You know how sometimes something cheers you up for no particular reason and then, just everything seems to be going better? Yeah, that's what happened to me this week. I mean was it yesterday or the day before that? I was sitting in my room miserable as usual and I thought "It's time to eat. And when you're eating you can't just do nothing." So I took my food in front of my pc and started eating while watching the second season of Dexter(or DeX-Tah as that british chick keeps on calling him and gets me all "ZOMG BRITISH ACCENT I WISH I COULD BE LIKE THAT"... Not like the chick part, just the british accent stuff...) Anyways. Turns out that watching serial killers do their smart stuff and the view of awesome guys slashing people into pieces makes me happy. So who am I to doubt the higher forces of this universe? Cool smart people make me feel good? That's what I'll do from now on then. Although I don't really see the life of a serial killer befitting for me, so I think I'll just go with watching the series.
Speaking of series, season 2 of Darker than Black started airing in Japan a week ago. I watched the first episode last night, and truth be told, I didn't expect much of it. Instead, I got completely excited and almost screamed when the episode ended with a fucking hang-over. And now I'm officially hooked again -_-" . (Speaking of anime, Fairy Tail sucks). And speaking of anime, the cosplay cafe is closing in on us and I'm completely broke. I'll try to borrow some money from my parents and hopefully I'll pay some debts that way, but I'll still be broke for the rest of the month. And next months seems pretty bad as well (financially speaking). On the (almost) bright side of stuff me and Marilou worked out that japanese class thingy, so even if it didn't turn out as awesome as it could (or should) well, it still seems ok. We'll be on seperate classes (which I regret) but I'll have her bring her notes to me, so that I can study cause my sensei doesn't seem as able as hers. Oh, I forgot to mention, I tried out the butler suit (kinda). I think I look pretty ok in it. Hopefully girls will think so too, cause as time passes, I start realizing that trully I've been alone for way too fucking long. And even though I've kinda dealt with the misery of being alone lately, it's starting to affect Ryan as well, and as if often happens, his misery becomes my misery. (So as you can guess, even if the title says Blind Guardian, the song'll be MetallicA, as a tribute to my friend)
Well, other than financial problems, a certain amount of self-doubting (which is probably a permanent point in my personality by now) and quite a few parent-nagging, this has been a fine week for me. More ups than downs I must say. And I've ran out of things to say for some reason... Anyways... (oh, Blind Guardian addiction came back. Listening to their latest album. Totally not as bad as I thought)

One of those days
Now, a friend of mine told me once, that people are always trying to create problems out of ordinary situations, just to escape the boredom of everyday life. Well, if that's true, then I'm like, REALLY bored. Oh! I forgot to mention that the crazy girl came to MY HOUSE and almost had sex with me, and then we were together for a day and that kinda gave me the courage to give her my final answer, a BIG FAT (kinda like her ass) "NO WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER". Yeah, ever since then, she's a little edgy, but she'll get over me. I've gotten over people who were slutier than me, so she can do it too. Oh, and did I tell you about what else's been troubling me? Japanese classes. They start next week, and the last thing I need right now are douchebags(the anti-g team) in my class, talking to the only friend I'll have in there and leaving me alone to die in a pool of my own piss and blood...
In other news, I'm feeling slightly more confident about my looks (since suddenly girls are asking about me (Why the hell did I have to reach my 21st year of life for girls to realize I exist?) so the idea of me cosplaying cool characters now seems... excellent! I get to be Riku, and a cool butler, and Nero as well from DMC4. And I know that this ranting will probably make no sense to anyone who reads this, but truth is I started typing when I was all miserable this morning and now it's afternoon and I've spent like, tons of hours with a guy creating the waraji shoes for his/ours Bleach cosplay. It was pretty fun actually and it did cheer me up, since we did quite the fantastic job. I mean, I never actually expected we would make them, but we did and they're really good.
A thing that's been worrying me lately is whether or not I have become (more) antisocial than usual. I can't stand seeing most of the people I used to call friends once and I can't figure out if that's my fault or theirs. And to top everything off, now my gaming addiction returned, leaving me with 4 games I need to finish and about 4 others I want to buy... And YES I KNOW I'M NOT MAKING ANY SENSE, ok!? I'm just trying to fit everything that's happened to me in one week (which are surprisingly a lot) into one text and things just keep on popping into my head (and I'm too lazy to put everything in the correct order). Uuuummmm, I had this one thing I wanted to tell you people, but I just keep on forgetting. Well, while my head is working on that here's a thought: Reeny, are you ok? There has been no letter and for some weird reason I feel like you've been avoiding me. Which would be normal and everything, but I've come to realise that I'm not really good at understanding those situations, so, if you are indeed avoiding me, telling me to stay out of your life or something will be helping you achieve your purpose faster. Oh! I remembered! We've started this new rpg session with some friends and I think I'm sucking pretty bad as a dm(dungeon master). I don't know if something's happened to me, but I may be losing my talent as a guy with a great imagination... Lately I've just been copying and recycling ideas... *sigh*... There might really be something wrong with me... Anyways... Gotta go... See ya all next week...
(Here's a tekken 6 trailer. The theme has been stuck in my head for like 2 days now)

Sad But True
Yeah, well, you all know about how life has its ups and downs, right? For some twisted reason, that I have yet to pinpoint, the happy days never seem to last. Now, I've been thinking. This could just be me, right? I mean, it's not like I'm starving to death or anything. It's not like life is actually hard on me. However, why do I keep on looking only at the downside of things? I should be happy, right? Things have been going ok for me. I mean, there's no more trouble with my friends, college is starting as well, so I won't have to hear my dear parents nagging all day long (just for the few hours I'll be spending at home), japanese classes are starting as well. Yes, life has been finally getting back on the right track.
So why the FUCK am I still feeling down? Is it because of the pressure? It could be. But it's not! I'll tell you why I'm feeling down. CRAZY GIRLS HITTING ON ME AND NOT BACKING DOWN CAUSE I'M TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO TELL THEM "I DON'T LIKE YOU" IN THEIR FACE IS WHAT'S BEEN MAKING ME FEEL DOWN! God, when did I lose my ability to not care about other people? (Actually was that ability ever mine, in the first place?). And being the idiot that I am, I can't keep my mouth shut and not act like I kinda care about her either. I don't know what that means really about me. That I'm a coward? That I enjoy the attention I'm getting from her even if I can't really do the same thing back? Perhaps both... But whatever it is I'm doing, I really need to put an end to it. People are starting to tell me I'm becoming a better person lately. ME! A good person! A caring person! I mean, I spent years, trying to create the image of an evil person. Or at least a neutral one... And it's not like I really am a bad person (I think)... Whatever!Agh... I don't like this situation one bit. Problem is, I'm the one who created it and I'm the ONLY ONE who can get me out of there. So it's pretty pointless of me to nag about it. Actually, no, it's not... I feel better already. God, I should have started a blog ages ago... Anyways
In other news, my Metallica addiction came back, stronger than ever, making me bang my head like an idiot when I'm home alone (like : now) and listening to their live album I just downloaded. Here is a small gift (I hope this works, Irene does it all the time) At least Metallica always make me feel better.
Anyways... I promised some of my stories in the last post, so being a man of my word, here is one...
-You Know Anna…I can’t really remember how long I’ve been here
- So what? Don’t tell me you want to leave, huh?
-... It’s just that… Don’t you ever feel regret?
-…No. I don’t. And I don’t like this conversation either. I’m going back
-Anna…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boy scratched the back of his head and opened his eyes. That dream again, huh? He asked himself as he pulled the sheets and got up, tiredly. He looked around at the mess that he called his home. It was in fact, a rather peculiar home, or at least that’s what we would say if we saw it. First of all the whole place was made from huge branches of trees, tied together with each other, creating the floor and walls, the way they bent and twisted. As if someone with tremendous strength had caught the branches of a huge tree and had created the house. Then there was the roof… That was a magnificent piece of work. The roof was a circular glass, which had smaller branches running over it, creating fascinating designs, twisting and turning and making the morning shadows play in Kieran’s eyes. Our hero, however, did not pay much attention to those things. He simply looked up at the sky, at the dawning sun and the wandering clouds and sighed. He looked at the back of his palm, to the weird shaped tattoo the masters had given him. It had shrank even more… He closed his eyes for a minute and muttered a few words, before opening them again. They were shining with a light blue aura and he looked at the tattoo again. He averted his eyes and closed them, making a grimace, as if he had seen something horrible…The aura disappeared from his eyes and he entered the bathroom for his morning routine…
Yeah... so, see you next week three people who read this...

1987 - The year of the bunny
Those are the words that Natsuki Takaya-san uses to describe me, based on the chinese horoscope. Now, let me tell you a little secret. I don't really believe in horoscopes. However, I do adore Fruits Basket, so let me give you a little introduction of who I am, what is this blog all about and why did I choose this weird title. Hopefully, everything will be clear when I finish this first post.
My name is George, I'm 21 years old and I live in Greece. I guess I'm an average person, 180 cm tall, 67 kilos, blue eyes, brown-blond hair and I wear glasses cause my eyesight betrayed me by the age of 16. I'm in college, studying computer sciences, however that hasn't been working for me until now. Probably because of my irresponsible nature, I guess. I'm really more of a "I-like-to-have-fun-so-I'll-do-the-boring-stuff-later" person. I don't know what caused it, however, I don't seem to be able to change who I am. I enjoy spending time with my friends, no matter what we're doing. Other than that, I enjoy books and manga, anime and films, music and gaming. I'm a bit of a show-off and it's pretty stupid most of the times. I've got a good sense of humour(or so I'm told) and I enjoy making others laugh. Some of my friends call me a social person, but I don't know if that's true. I do find it interesting, meeting new people, but I'm also kind of arrogant and an elitist, so most of the times I end up rejecting others without really getting to know them.
Well, that's who I am. I may have forgotten a few things, here and there, but I'm sure I'll cover them while ranting here. Back to the bunnies (and the blood), I am not an emo. I do not cut myself and I don't really like blood (I'm not afraid of it either). I just thought it sounded pretty cool, so it's up there as a title, for now. There is another reason I chose this title as well, but I think I'll let you know later on this post.I think I'll try to keep this blog, and I'll even try to update it often... Ok, as a matter of fact, there is a reason for this title. Lately, I've been pretty miserable (But I really don't cut myself). I think I know why and, even though it's embarassing, I'm hoping that this blog will never reach the eyes of people I don't want to open up to(also, they probably don't care about what I have to say, so...). This past year has been quite... weird for me. I got into fights with, met new people, did new things. I got rejected and I got accepted by people and I rejected and I accepted people. All in all, as a matter of fact, right now, I'm actually a lot better than I was 2 months ago. The sadness I'm supposed to be feeling, comes and goes, and it's not really all that serious of a reason what causes it. If you really want to know what it is (please don't make fun of me) it's the lack of attention. It's been getting harder and harder to keep the people around me focused on me, and that's scaring me. However, truth is, that I'm just asking for too much. My friends are there as always, and I've been too busy dwelling in my own self-pity to notice it. For that I apologise to them.
Now, this is a blog, and even though everyone reading this, should already know, I'm actually a person with quite the imagination. It's one of the major reasons that manga and anime are such a big part of my life. When I was younger I believed this world to be boring. Growing up, I've realised that such a thing is not true. Yes, the worlds I've been imagining, of magic and adventure are certainly interesting, but that doesn't make our world a boring place. I know now, there are ways of making this world, just as interesting. Friendship, love and art is needed, and by combining the three (and adding quite a bit of humour and laughs) you can have the interesting world you need. Now, this all sounds vague and perhaps even gay (:P) but I do have a point. I no longer feel the need to dissapear and reappear in a different world. I find it much better now to just gather with my friends and have a session of Dungeons and Dragons (or Anime d20). Sure, I don't carry a sword, and I can't burn someone with my magic, but I do have fun and we all enjoy ourselves. And as you can see, slowly, by reading this blog, you begin to find out what a huge nerd I am. I also have a dream. It's a geeky dream, and one that I don't think it'll ever come to be, but it's there, and sometimes, when it's fun for me, I strive towards making it real. That dream is to write. I like to express myself and the worlds that I imagine through words. I love it when people read or hear the stories I come up with, and I adore it when they get excited by them. So, from times to times, I hope I'll summon the courage to post a few of the stories I've worked on here, on this blog.
I think that's all I wanted to tell you all, for now. I still haven't explained the title though, and that's kind of unfair. Ok, secret truth. I really like Fruits Basket. Like, a lot... And I guess, I'm secretely proud of being born on the year of the rabbit, even though, if you ever ask me in person I'll try to act all cool and deny it. As for the blood... That really reflected my emo mood when I began writing this post, but now, I feel relieved (probably because confessing my feelings took a huge burden of me), so it doesn't really fit the title anymore. However it's still cool and dark, so I'll leave it there =] .
Good day/night to all
