we're finally notdotq anymore

I was going to touch this up but I wasn’t actually ever going to get around to it, so in the best interests of posting it while it’s mostly fresh I’m going to… well… post it. While it’s mostly fresh. This is partly fanfic, partly speculation, partly analysis. Spoilers for the ending of the Aria series. Enjoy!

By this I mean that I’m no longer running an experiment. As for the experiment’s implications for my life, I am no Mizunashi Akari but pacifism and kindness are definitely things I’ll be striving for every day. » Continue reading this…

I’m out this weekend (Otakon). I’ll report on the wonderful next week. Ciao! :)

Great day with nothing notable until around 4 P.M.

I was talking to Pip and Os excitedly about how wonderful this weekend will be (going to Otakon, meeting anibloggers, etc.) and then Pip tells me that Sasa wants him to put his penis in my butt. Shortly thereafter he tells me that Os wants him to do it, too. Next he says he wants to. Finishing blow? He tells me that I want him to.

That was awkward and I felt kinda :S

Yesterday was fun. » Continue reading this…

(Sun)Day 3 wasn’t very wonderful. » Continue reading this…

I read a post on Yukan! Blog this morning, and decided to click on the blogroll link in the sidebar to see if my blog was linked. It was (thanks for that, blissmo), but its description gave me pause. I remembered, in reading that description, how this blog is identified in the aniblogosphere: I’m trollikitsune, notdotq is lulz and dipshittiness, etc.

How do I reconcile that with my attempt at sutekiiiiiiiii~~~~~?

There’s the obvious Michael route (srs bsns) but that is also counter to Mizunashi Mode. Whether it’s slamming bad shows for being bad or revealing that I actually do, in fact, like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (no lie—that wouldn’t be wonderful), a serious and well-thought-out post inherently asks for challengers, and starting internet debates isn’t something I want to be doing right now.

I could continue to troll, claiming that it’s all playful and that it’s a wonderful point of myself, but that wouldn’t fly so well. My brand of trolling is highly inflammatory and profanity-ridden. Not too nice.

It seems as though all I can do in Mizunashi Mode is write about Mizunashi Mode. I’m also laying off the whole pirating thing for a bit. It’s kinda un-suteki, as noted by icystorm. I’m still writing (dotq.org) but aniblogging’s going to stay dry for a bit, unless you guys have some marvelous suggestions.

Finally a brief note: <3 to everyone who’s trying out their own versions of the experiment.
