PMS naginata and Aristotle CPR

Historie 58:
LOL, I dare you to find another manga with Aristotle doing CPR and Alexander the Great helping him. Okay, that said, I'm glad the kid survived. And I had horrible Ling-tachi flashbacks when the fishing guy was remarking about a prince crying for a retainer, but I'm going offtopic. I agree, fishing guy, you should go to school.

Vinland Saga 59:
Crrrrrrawling in my skiiiiiiiin~ Now seriously, Cobain!Thorfinn is as depressing and suicidal as real Kurt Cobain. What the fuck, man. Einar is still cute. Everyone else is still an idiot. Solid Snake, the new guy, looks badass in his hoboness. I laughed when Thorfinn dodged like a ninja out of instinct, and everyone was all O____O because he was the splitting image of a fucking potato five minutes before.

Katana 9:
So, not happy with pushing my old school HOLiC and Natsume Yuujinchou buttons to the extreme, you had to go and reenact that one legend. And since they were in a television studio for the lulz during the recording of a historical drama, they dressed the kids up and AKIRA WAS COSPLAYING YOSHITSUNE* THE WHOLE TIME. So much cute! So many pings! My heart can't handle it. Forget Wa-twat-nuki, I'm cross-shipping Natsume with Akira.



* I'm unable to say Ushiwakamaru without thinking of magical blond aliens.

So, my brothers' Wii was connected to the TV in the basement for a few months. It was done once to have the space for Wii Fit or whatever, but no one used that shit anymore. I think Ale played twice with it since it's there, and it was by the time the 360 went RRoD. This drove me insane, since I have an useless TV set in my bedroom (at my mom's) now that they changed the living room's and put the old one there. They gave me an equally idle DVD player but it doesn't read discs.

Tired of this, I kidnapped it yesterday, installed it, and played some Tales of Symphonia.

And you know what, I'll go broke for reals but I'm buying Muramasa this week. Sure, okay, I have no Wii at home but neither do I have 360 and I got Vesperia (haven't played it again because my brothers hoard it with their FPSs). Besides, there's this rumor that only 1200 copies of Muramasa are going around Spain and I live in a tiny city.

Oh, and that meme.

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-word answers seldom help anyone out.


FIRST NAME:
Christel. I have mixed feelings because... well, it could be lot worse. On the other hand, this makes life hard since I always have to spell my name when I give it and sometimes people don't know how to pronounce it. Hell, *I* don't even know if my family and I are pronouncing it well (stress on the i? I don't care anymore). Then I feel like a speshul snowflake because that name is rare everywhere. I just give up and say "call me Chris", and then people think I'm named Cristina. My second name is Alejandra, but no one uses that one.

AGE:
27. Mentally 7.

LOCATION:
I live near to the city of La Coruña, Northern Spain. I've been living here for six years and, while I'm a Spanish citizen right now, I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela (cue choirs of "where the fuck?" over... both places, actually). We left my country because it was too dangerous and we have Galician roots. My mom and brothers were (illegally) living in Miami and also moved in, all for our uncle's insistence. We're all fucking pissed at him forever. Not that this is a bad country, but the region (NO, I WON'T CALL YOU A COUNTRY, RADICAL IDIOTS) of Galicia is a bit... dry. Not in weather, but as people. We're still on cultural shock, I guess. Incidentally, I have the two citizenships but still think of myself as a Venezuelan.

OCCUPATION:
College student, trying to get a fucking degree in management computing technical engineer. The culture shock mentioned above? It spreads to my faculty's fucked up educative system. It costs me so much to be finishing a 3-year degree, my God. Because of this and my family eternally pointing it out, my self esteem is somewhere in a parking basement.

PARTNER:
Never had one. NEXT.

KIDS:
Jesus in a roller coaster, no. I can't even take care of myself.

BROTHERS/SISTERS:
15-year-old (non identical) twins called Daniel and Alejandro. Technically we're half siblings but my mom started dating their dad since I was four so we tend to forget about it. In contrast of personality it's a bit like the Elric brothers, with Danny being the Ed and Ale being the Al. Except with less of Ed's shounen manga chivalry and more of Angry Video Game Nerd. Ale is the less whinier of the three, more relaxed and shier than the other one, but ironically talks more than Danny. The smarter one is Danny, but he's a lazy bastard so he fails at school, while Ale studies and does his homework so he passes most times.
Not counting any sibling from my father's side because I don't know her (them?).

PETS:
I don't have one but my family has. Jazz is a fat bastard of a Tonkinese (looks like a Siamese, tho) cat. Rocky is a chipmunk who's in hibernation right now.



3-5 THINGS GOING ON IN MY LIFE:
- GOD, I'M TRYING TO GRADUATE THIS YEAR. So hopefully I'll be able to begin my fucking final project on 2010.
- My grandmother fell down over a month ago and now she's hard to take care of. It's really complicated and I don't really feel like talking about it.
- So I signed up for Yuletide. I still have to reread my canon, orz.
- The optional course I'm taking right now (Object-oriented Programming) is so fucking high maintenance. I actually failed once and there's a fucking reason I'm doing it now again, when I have nothing else going on.

PARENTS:
They got divorced when I was a baby. My biological father still visited me until I was 7, and that was it. Then I'd only see him when I needed paperwork, and that was twice. He wasn't even talking to me when I last saw him, but my grandma. He was dating someone and they wanted to have children. The last time I saw him he had a baby girl with his by-then girlfriend, and he didn't mention her. I think I'm better off without him, but I wonder why the fuck he still has children with other women when he obviously gives a damn.
My mom worked most of her life as a flight attendant so I had a very spoiled childhood with American toys. Meanwhile I was (badly) half-raised by my grandma. I guess I turned out so useless in daily life, that's why she took a different motherly approach with my brothers. I'm not exactly living with her right now but I have a bedroom at her house and visit often. Her back is really bad so she's not doing anything at the moment except some cooking.
My stepdad is more of a older brother figure to me than a father. And not really responsible enough to be one, either.

CLOSE FRIENDS:
...I. Don't know what to say here. I wish I had some more? ;; I have no one IRL because... Galicia. I'm currently sort of attached to my RP's friends but. I don't know, I'm too tsun to drop names so. If you think you're close to me, assume I'm naming you here.
