Moving On and Up

After six months of working in the Communications Department at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, I was tired of WordPress and webdesign. After a little more than half a semester at U.C. Berkeley, I am tired of Descartes, religion, bloodshed, drugs, Spinoza, Afghanistan, lies, truth, Berkeley, my own radical views, and all that stuff that comes with a liberal arts education. I have learned something new about myself: I’m not easy to please.

So, I have decided to transfer.

Along with my compadre lolikappa (aka Ben), I am heading for Tokyo ICU this July^[1]. This may seem like an extreme move, but I have discovered–against the wishes of my indignant ex-girlfriend–that my time with Ben is the happiest time of my life. He has carved out a place for himself in this world in Japan, and I will follow him, even if it means leaving boredom behind.

In case any of you are less fickle than I, and are reading this as friends of mine after all these years, you might be quick to warn me that this is quite the expensive endeavor, especially given that I will doubtless grow tired of Ben just as I did of Sekai, Kotonoha, yachts, science, God, and the color green. I will respond to this worry with an outline of my ten-year scenario:

- engage in courses at Tokyo ICU (July 2009)
- watch Ben fail his courses at Tokyo ICU (September 2009)
- fail courses at Tokyo ICU due to empathy (October 2009)
- Ben and I will support each other as we beg on the streets of Tokyo (October 2009-May 2011)
- Ben will remember his calling as a duk, don his shellmet, and combat the forces of evil (June 2011)
(during this time, I will encounter Jesus and work his miracles upon the Tokyo street urchins)
- Ben will grow old and nostalgic and remember his old love, me (December 2016)
- Ben will pick me up, move to Singapore with me, and apprentice himself to his father as JuniorGAE (January 2017)
- Ben and I will rule Singapore happily together until I fall in love with his younger brother, and conspire to kill him to take the throne (February 2017)
- I conquer Japan (June 2017)
- I conquer East Asia (December 2017)
- I will have always been at war with Eurasia (July 2019)

Of course, this is a busy plan, and requires lots of planning to execute properly. Over the next ten years, I will not have time to tend to this site (or any others). It is sad, but I must move on. Anibloggers, entrust your futures to ghostlightning and look forward to enjoying the rapture I bring to East Asia in 10 years. Ghostlightning–I love you.

I’d say something to each of you here, as you are all unique and beautiful snowflakes and I love you all (though less than I love ghostlightning), but I don’t have time. I’ve gotta run to eat my last dinner at U.C. Berkeley residence hall dining commons before quitting school and beginning my plotting.

I’ll miss you, guys, but this is for the sake of world domination.

Flak’s moving up in the world.

Anything I have ever said to you that was vaguely non-insulting is hereby retracted. Because I’m a Cal fanboy.

But honestly, GLHF if you get in.

Btw Flak, Alar and I decide to move in with Saki and we’re going to be Saki’s boyfriends in your place to keep her company. I’m sorry to inform you that I believe we’ve replaced you in Saki’s heart. It’s okay though, once Saki bears Alar and my child, I’ll make sure to make you the Godfather.

(Last hour April Fool’s joke.)

Why haven’t I been informed of this?

But I am looking forward to it.

You know what the funniest part about April’s Fools was…..that Jason just didn’t get it. You’re supposed to make a post that is obviously a prank, not just be your usual retarded self. I guess it really is impossible for a person with a blogging vocabularly of about 50 words to do something different. Oh Jason….Jason Jason….why do you fail so much…..I’m not even sure if I find it funny in a sad way at anymore.

And seriously what it holding that Jason Is Back post. There’s more then enough fodder already and he’s only written like 10 new posts…..all pretty much the exact same.

Hmmm…..what else…oh right, when you are doing a top 10 list, I’m almost certain I’m not supposed to take the real list about as seriously as I took the April Fool’s Day list. *Shakes Head*

@beanbrew: I’m a Cal fanboy, too, but fanboying knows its limits.

@lolikappa: All this is possible thanks to Grima.

@TheNewHorde: I don’t see how you and Alar plan on impregnating SAKI at the same time, but I wish you nothing but the best of luck.

@ghostlightning: I thought I was worth at least two.

@Kaioshin Sama: Thanks for tipping me off regarding Jason’s april fools debacle. Also, yeah, I should post about his return. Someday. I’ll make it seem like breaking news in about half a year.

The Jason Miao fail is approaching impossible levels already. I demand a post where I can lay in him otherwise I am going to have to premempt because he is sucking worse than ever.

How can someone have such universally awful taste.
