Just thought of jotting down what's going on in my head. I notice that when i have nothing better to do, i start thinking. I keep getting random thoughts, from future plans, to movie ideas, some random song that was released ages ago and weird random ideas.

Today, after taking a stroll down the Rundle Mall, Central Business District of Adelaide, i started thinking. Around me are people, people with different personalities, different wants, different needs, and etc. So all of this just comes down to one thing, how do you define someone as NORMAL?

It's been bothering me, and i do question myself, am i NORMAL? I've got bored and i started looking up the definition for normal.

Referencing to http://www.dictionary.com/ and looking up the word normal,

–adjective
1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.
2. serving to establish a standard.
3. Psychology.
a. approximately average in any psychological trait, as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment.
b. free from any mental disorder; sane.

Going with the definition stated in 3a, what is the average psychological trait, intelligence, personality and emotional adjustment?

I'm sure mental cases, emos, punks, hippies and etc, may not be considered as normal but i'm sure they consider themselves as normal. So who are the people capable to tell us that you are considered Normal?
If people you consider abnormal says that your normal and think they themselves are normal, does that make you normal or abnormal?

I have an IQ of 130 - 135 from taking those online IQ test. Are those results even applicable? and would i be considered normal?

Think that's all i have at the moment.

P.S. I just have a feeling, people are going to start flaming with the emo chants....

Chapter 4. "A Slice of anime otaku's life."

Welcome back to another chapter of a slice of life.
Once again i would like to apologise for the late entry of the blog. University was giving me one hell of a time and i managed to survive. Other than that, another good news is that i will be graduating :D with my Finance degree. Also today is Game Turtle's Birthday so i would like to wish him Happy Birthday and hope he gets Ego Turtle wasted tonight.

Back to the topic. The anime otaku, which means an anime addict. With reference to http://www.wikipedia.org/ - Otaku (おたく or オタク, Otaku?) is a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime, manga, and video games.

Like Otacon, a character from the Metal Gear Solid series, he's an otaku. A geeky guy stuck with a passion for anime, games and also his undying passion on creating machineries and technological gadgets.

I'm sure your wondering, can a guy like him get a girl. Well sure, in fact in the series he did. He managed to get Naomi, a hot chick with a great looks and great body. Sadly it's just a game, so what sort of girls can real otaku's get?

Well, otakus can always go for other otakus. Otakus such as Cosplayers. Cosplayers dresses up according to characters in games or anime. What's so good about cosplayers? Yes, without a doubt this is one of the benefits that an otaku can get. Not only they share the same interest, they can also help spice things up a little. XD~. However there are a few types of cosplayers. One where puts all effort into cosplaying,

She did a great job pulling off a tifa look, but if you have the lower budget ones such as the one below.....

looks alright but just look at the cheap cotton material, and shown below this picture is a perfect cosplay of Tifa from Final Fantasy VII using leather XD. A comparison between the Tifa from the movie and Tifa Cosplayer.




Nicely done XD~. So we otakus can appreciate the fact that women are willing to dress up. I'm sure there are those otakus who'd have certain dreams or fantasies of women in various outfits. However beware of a particular cosplayer. One that may cause nightmare to both male and female otakus.

Anyway, that is all i have on a slice of life. I actually can't think of any other topics to write about i was wondering if any of you can suggest me one?


Also here's a little slide to show my transformation. This all takes place for about 1 and a half years. From just normal geek slowly transforming to ah beng... and now anime.





I just realized significant weight changes in the above pictures. *Shock*.

Stay tune to next chapter of a slice of life, where there's a little bit of you in every slice, i think... but anyway assuming no one is able to suggest a good idea for my next chapter, i might consider blogging about the life in Adelaide. Till then stay tune :D.
