Re: the Real Dolls,

I always find these cases to be fairly sad. As a man who has vast difficulty with romantic relationships, I can sometimes sympathize with the men and women who ultimately resort to purchasing these things. It's like a limit that gets crossed, an admittance of defeat. By buying one and treating the situation as an actual relationship, one is essentially saying that they cannot grow and change as a human being to adapt to an actual partner. There's a shifting of morality, on some level, I think. Living partners must compromise and find a harmony between their personal goals and their goals as a couple. With a Real Doll, there's no need for that. The personal issues that prevented the individual from meeting a living partner in the first place remain and stagnate. Because on some limbic level, the need for copulation and companionship is being satisfied, there's less of a desire to go 'hunt' for another mate. But because the Real Doll also doesn't provide normalized eustress and distress, the maturation process halts.

I suppose the one thing that can be said about these is that they make the prospect of Darwinian failure more bearable.

you have to be seriously retarded to be in a relationship with a doll

It's super creepy. I remember in the CBC doc they interviewed one man who had rented an apartment just for his dolls. The reason he said that he owns real dolls because, "They don't talk back, they don't judge me. They just sit there." He later went to say that he breaks them in once he gets home from work. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

If the eight "Ugh"s wasn't enough to tell you, I'll just come out and say that thinking and actions like that disgust, as well as disturb me.

they don't ask you to hang up your clothes all the time

i have to write a murder story for creative writing

it has to have a red herring of some sort.

basically it is calvin from calvin and hobbes as a grown-up, who is now a private detective. but little do the common populace know that this detective is the one killing off many psychologists. calvin asks "where is hobbes?" to the shrinks. when he does not get the answer that he wants, he uses an unorthodox weapon to kill them off- a bazooka.

calvin remembers his past and his childhood (in this story of mine it is revealed that he was forced to take medication for the whole hobbes being real situation) after he is hired to find the killer of the shrinks. he remembers his best friend hobbes. he goes out to find him.

detective by day, killer by night.

also, a george is a suspect of one of the killings, as one of the victims has a very large and deep circular wound in the chest. this much damage can only be inflicted by using a LANCE. but, the victim did not die from a lance wound. they died from a large explosion from calvin's bazooka.

(yes, G makes a few cameos in my story, along with a lance)

...............

That was 3 words XD and Robot Chicken is awesome

wow josh that's carp

Ok guys you're probably going to laugh at me for this but I am honestly really conflicted on whether or not I should sign my book with my real, given name or if I should use my pen name. I feel like using Roan would make me seem like a self-important douche bag, but at the same time I feel using my real name (Ryan Smith -- hurr how captivating) would make me seem like a boring piece of carp.

What do you think? lol

Nothing wrong with using your given name. Sometimes I go by my middle name, because I think it's a pretty damn good one (Fletcher), but there's nothing wrong with the name Ryan Smith. Let your work set you apart, not your name.

Either way, it doesn't make much/any difference to the story...

EDIT: Did an english exam yesterday and had some fun doing a description of a "dream world". It consisted of a planet with lots of round glowing trees, seven moons, filled with islands and pink rabbits. =D

Come up with a new pen name!

Just watched Bleach episode 197 and my god that was the most boring episode i've seen in a long time. They need to get back to Kenpachi and Mayuri fighting Nnoitra and Szayel ¬_¬

I find, in general, Bleach to be a fairly boring television program. The comic wasn't terrifically entertaining either.

The Soul Reaper Arch was badass, but before and after that, it sucked.

I'm up to date on the manga, just watching the episodes to see how much of it they can screw up.
Best example yet: Szayel completely crushes Ishida's stomach, he vomits water. WTF?! You'd vomit blood and stomach acid, NOT WATER!

I actually liked the Hueco mundo Arc (In particular the three fights with Grimmjow, Nnoitra and Szayel)
Currently in the Karakura town arc (Manga now since they're still in the middle of HM arc in the anime) It's pretty good since Aizen is now in Karakura town, letting his remaining minions carp carp up.
So far Rangiku looks down for the count (She just had everything from under her ribs removed) and Hinamori just got pwned.

Random fact: 12.3% of the words on the internet are Japanese.
