Geek Talk
Presenting me and shikamaru in… geek talk.
shikamaru: ure an anime addict
mel: not really
shikamaru: really
mel: there’s such a thing as a unit of measurement for anime exposure
mel: i think it’s "mi"
shikamaru: lolx
mel: one "mi" is equivalent to.. i think 48 hours
mel: if i were to measure myself, i’d be..
shikamaru: lolx
mel: on weekdays, 0.08 mi
shikamaru: awts
mel: on weekends, 0.5 mi
mel: that’s on average
shikamaru: XD
mel: seriously
shikamaru: hehe
shikamaru: lie low ako sa watching ng animes.. cra kc ung tv sa master bedroom… eh ayw ko manood sa sala kc usually pag may tao andun cla.. and ang gulo sa salas rinig ko ung sa2kyan na dumadaan…
mel: good thing me and lanie have our own tv set sa room. even if it’s sucky
shikamaru: un lng
mel: oh! i just read that dosages of over 0.1 mi could lead to social stigma
mel: hmmmm…. could be..
mel: but then they don’t really care what i do with my time at home
shikamaru: lolx
mel: only my dad disapproves
shikamaru: XD
mel: oh, and ate mimi thinks i’m weird
shikamaru: lol
shikamaru: y?
mel: well you know grown-ups
mel: they think cartoons, anime and anything else similar to those are immature and childish
shikamaru: awts…
mel: she must think i’m a geek or something
mel: ako naman, i’m like, that’s okay by me. as long as i can watch anime, i don’t care what anyone thinks
mel: people think i’m a total otaku
shikamaru: haha… me too
shikamaru: i even cosplayed for christ sake
mel: and in japan, being called an otaku is an insult
shikamaru: yup
shikamaru: an otaku is a geek
mel: yeah cosplaying is an extreme sign of being an otaku
mel: i’m a geek, and i’m proud to be one
shikamaru: lolx
shikamaru: thats weird.. watching anime, reading mangas, turns u into a geek
shikamaru: so watching lame ass noontime shows isnt?
shikamaru: i think thats cheesy and geekier
mel: EXACTLY!!!
mel: very good point
mel: touche ^__^
shikamaru: and note in the US of A, mangas are graphic NOVELS
mel: manga ARE graphic novels, shikamaru
shikamaru: and anime are usually based from manga
shikamaru: therefore, anime are NOVELS or atleast NOVEL-like Material
shikamaru: theres a level of maturity or intellect required to comprehend anime/manga
shikamaru: dumbass people just equate anime with cartoons
shikamaru: ka-level ng roadrunner and such
mel: yesh
mel: true
mel: but that’s not really the case
mel: people just see the graphic aspects.. but what they don’t know is that anime can be mature
mel: even more mature than some soap operas or movies
shikamaru: anyways, watching anime/readin manga juz aint enough basis to classify someone as a geek
mel: yup
mel: true again
mel: i think a reason why they think otakus are geeks is because they kinda withdraw from the society
shikamaru: LOLx
shikamaru: gamers are treated like dat b4
shikamaru: cause they think gaming is a anti social activity
mel: actually, gamers are considered geeks too in the US
shikamaru: but obviously that has changed
mel: yeah
shikamaru: what exactly is a geek anyway
mel: ummmm
mel: ah eto.. geeks are basically socially inept people.
mel: that’s one definition
shikamaru: but if they think im a geek
shikamaru: then so be it
mel: geeks are smart
shikamaru: oh ok
shikamaru: LOLx
shikamaru: anyways, i agree with this
shikamaru: geeks are basically socially inept people
mel: yeah i can agree that much
shikamaru: so if ure less sociable and prefer to interact in ur "world of interest"
shikamaru: guess u’ll be a geek
mel: yesh
mel: so i guess you’re not a geek if you’re not socially inept
shikamaru: yep
shikamaru: case closed
shikamaru: im not a geek
shikamaru: ure not a geek
mel: LOL
