Oh well/Card ramblings. Feel free to avoid this geekery.

Alas, back from con, and no beautiful Essy to chat with. I wish I'd lucked over him--now I've gon and misplaced the little gift I had for him. I'll find it and mail it, though.
I suppose this is as good a time as any to discuss fandom. I very much have an addictive personality--be it a game or a show or a distraction, I often fall into things completely and utterly, only to burn out on them and distance myself for a while before returning with a fervor that's somewhat scary. I have this sort of video games, which is why I avoid MMORPGS for the most part--I usually snap free when I conquer a game, but if there's no 'win or lose', I can literally lose time and become completely absorbed.
I like Pokemon, because not only of its plethora of interesting creatures and its hidden subtext that almost any enemy could be an ally if you opted it, but because fundamentally it's a 'Good Guys Win' world that promotes cooperation instead of hostility. Yes, pokemon battle each other--but there is a camraderie in realizing though you, personally are powerless alone, you are never alone--your friends are right there with you, willing, waiting.
I also like Yu-gi-Oh, the TCG. Someone on FA got me into it, and though I've never had as much fun duelling anyone else, I do enjoy the game on a casual level. (I can't compete with his scary MOUNTAIN OF CAAARDS, though. They'll eat me. ;_;) This I like because it is very possible to reflect yourself in your deck--That yeah, if you want, you can just try and bash the other guy, but there are countless other ways and styles of winning, and not all of them rely on directly hurting the other person. You can shred everything all in one go, for instance, or seal all thier power away, or even rob them of thier resources--Or go for the Royal Straight flush of the Yu-gi-oh world and make an exodia deck, and win without doing damage at all. x3 The monsters here are also of all sorts, though some types are more common than others--ranging from some of my personal favorites like the tributes to Gradius and Golem cards to the downright bizzare. (I'm looking at you, Ojama Trio.)
I'd kinda like to see sketches of those monsters on here, to be honest. Pokemon is sorta sacred-ground-ey for me as far as sexual content goes, but there are so many Yu-gi-Oh monsters, bizzare spells, traps, and the like that I'm amused there ISN'T fetish fuel of it out there. Example.
Newer card coming out, 'Broken blocker'. When a monster that's better at defending than attacking gets killed, it undergoes a sorta mitosis, allowing you to pull out two new ones from your deck. I see it as a creature that gets cloned mysteriously and instantly.
And of course there's loads of suggestive cards--Harpies aside, there's a plethora of different themes from alien abduction to anthropomorphic vehicles to cartoon-stylized clones of existing monsters. (Yus I am talking to YOU, you bizzare oddballs who draw poor Bugs Bunny and so forth! I do not judge personally, but I mean c'mon, there's material right there! X3) Bondage? Who ho ho, is there bondage.
But I am rambling. Other fandoms: I like lots of anime, as my Jaunt to Otakon might hint to you. I loved Chibi-vampire Karen from last year, which was cute, a little sappy, and full of timing humor and--oh right--THE ABILITY TO SUCK YOUR EMOTIONS RIGHT OUT OF YOU, PUNY HUMAN. I watched one episode and was absolutely hooked. Bebop of course, which was the first anime show I had ever seen--two precluded that on VHS, but they were obscure movies and nightmare fuel at that in one case. Finally been watching slayers--I see why people reccomend it and all, but it's really really--well... old-looking. x3 'Cos it IS old. Second season's better, though.
I play a MuD. No, I won't say which one here. Plausible deniability and all that. It's the closest thing to an MMORPG I play, and some of the residents would make horrible jokes about me being here as it is, so no ID for you.
I am also a fan of you. I'd like to know more about you. Who you are, why you are that person. I want to be your friend, but I'm afraid to do more than post on my own journal every so often... when the noise fades, I am not a veru brave person...

Fandoms are goooood things, they make life a lot more interesting and less boring, filling in the gaps of spare time... and stimulating the imagination... and promoting good ole' geekery~ l3
Oddly, one thing that's always interested me about Yu-gi-oh is, after watching some of the episodes, how the characters would often have a card they identified as and would become or dress up as. Like Yugi in the Dark Magician costume, or Joey in the Flame Swordsman costume. I tried drawing people wearing YGO monster costumes a couple times. A few times involving a boy wearing a female monster's costume l3;;; Never tried anything (more) fetish-y though xD; I never could get into the actual game though because I wanted a monster I could identify with that was unique, just like the charries on the show had, but never found one I liked enough. Poor Essy had to listen to me go through a ton of cards and ponder 'em though.. x3;;;; It is strange there's no fetish stuff of YGO though when there's so much of Pokemon xD;;;
Squeak. Is the MuD really good company if they'd make mean jokes like that..? =x;;
Con was good, save the second night--I had a little bit of a.. well, I had a breakdown. >< I recovered the last day, though, and bought loads of stuffs. X3 I might ask you what sorts a stuff you really like more in the cards--I dun have anywhere as close to as many as Essy does (such a sweetie he is. He gave me a structure as a gift!)--but I like to play.
A breakdown..? @~@;;; Are you alright...? D'ya feel like talking about it..? =o Yeah, Ess knows a lot about his YGO x3 And is a sweetie. l3 He's even offered to send me a few cards before but I'd feel guilty about that and dun even know what I like yet anyhow xD;;
