Montreal gets ton of snow. It's not fun when you have too much!



Great for people who love winter sports, though!

Personally, I buy osake, heat it, and stay inside, wrapped in my warmest blankets. Winter is ideal time for MMOs!

Question: Another non-FFXIV related question, but I was wondering about opposites. What is one thing that you adore, but that you continuously encounter other people being unable to understand that you adore?

Me, for example...I love Flies. Like I really do. They're my friends. I talk to them all the time. Granted, I talk to everything, in my own time. At any rate, I feel like the flies respect me. And when they are being rude, I tell them so. And they tell me when I'm being rude back. It's a lovely relationship. I love them.

And, well, obviously, a grand majority of people that I tell this...do not understand it at all! Lol. Hatersgonnahate.gif.

Me + flies = mortal enemies. They tried to suffocate me once <_<
I'm now catching and squishing them as revenge. Down with the fly species!

Ahem. As for the question, that would be my fascination with Japan, it's language and culture.
Which of course includes anime, manga, games, music etc.

<3 so lucky I found 8 hours movie marathon of ff13 super stealth hide

I started watching that one yesterday, but kinda lost interest D:
As someone said, there is no more boring thing than watch someone play a game. Even if the game seems to be 99% cutscenes <.<

Anime, Manga, JRPGs and Table Top RPG in general, High Fantasy ones such as D&D, pathfinder in general. And most specifically, unashamedly declaring my love of catgirls and other various similar kemonomimis, kitsune in particular. (Heck, Utawarerumono and Escaflowne are probably my top 2 animes!)

Now the funny thing is, I work in the videogame industry -- so I'm amongst geeks. And not just geeks, I'm basically surrounded by some of the geekiest people out there, right?

Well, I won a trophy one year at the christmas party for being "The geekiest of them all" in the studio because of my "weird" tastes!

See, this is a common mistake. Just because we like anime/games doesn't mean the Western gamers are going to understand why we do (some will though). Had a similar experience myself...

Rainy days.

I have always loved the rain, especially heavy rain. And the more thunder and lightning, the better. Ever since I was a little child, I have always loved sitting in the window and watching the rain. None of the other kids I hung with understood that one bit; they liked sunny weather more. My relatives were concerned when they saw me staring out the window or sitting on the patio when it rained and my mother even wondered if I was sad. One time mom asked me about it, and I told her I just love the rain. She never worried about it again after that, understanding it was just "one of my quirks".

Rainy days are far more awesome to me than sunny days. I love the way the wind smells when it is about to rain, how the air gets a cool touch to it. Even today, I open my screen door, get my tablet, and write fanfiction while it rains and I watch. And if it's hard rain, and the wind is blowing hard and it's storming, all the better! Who needs the sun? Let the water fall from the heavens! A rainy day is a good day, in my opinion.



Glorious!

This pretty much, whenever I get word of a large storm headed my way it brightens up my day. I would always go outside and just stand there and take it all in. Rain, thunder, lightning and the clouds themselves are all awesome!

Another is noise, I like any and all ambient noises. In my head all these noises combine into a beautiful symphony of sounds but to everyone I tell this to they think i'm some kinda special needs person. ;_;

When I was younger I'd sneak out the house late at night and walk to the freeway 2 blocks from my house, I'd sit on the guard rail overlooking the freeway as I closed my eyes and listened to the different sounds of all the passing vehiclles, the occasional train in the distance, the wind calmly brushing through the tree leaves and the numorous gunshots in the neighborhood (I lived in Detroit, sue me ; .

Doesn't help that my sense of hearing is pretty good so I can hear most of that from my house but it's so much better up close (minus the gunshots :x)

I love snow. Every winter, i keep wishing for a thick blanket of snow outside (that does not disappear like snow under the sun the next day). Most people around me call me insane. Mostly because it gets really slippery here, a lot of traffic accidents happen, with major traffic jams on 70% of the roads throughout the country. (^_^; )=

I have a love/hate relationship with snow. A fresh snowfall makes everything beautiful, and I own snowshoes to trek through it which is a fun way to get outdoors and some exercise. But I get sick of it and I'm ready for change by the end of the winter, and while I don't mind (and kind of enjoy) driving on it alone, I hate driving with anybody else on the road because I trust them even less than I trust their driving abilities in warm weather.

It's too bad that Minnesota is on the wrong side of the Great Lakes for lake effect snow, though. We get colder but not as much snow to show for it.

I finished my 5k. My time was 25:52!! I'm very very happy to have finished in less than 30 mins... Like... i can't believe it.

I was like "Just keep running. Just keep running. Just keep running running running" and I had my earbuds in my ears with my favorite up beat tunes and even when it got hard at the end I was like "It's the end!"! And then the Imagine Dragons came on with Radioactive and it like... teleported me to the finish line!

Yaaaay!

There's something magical about running with a bunch of people. :3

[Docent]

When you're fighting evil,
When you're running away from danger,
When you're defending the innoncent,
Who's got your back?!


"Me! I'm down here! And I'm out of mana!", shouts the Lalafell.

It's ok Deli I absolutely love 13 and 13-2 even though it's a -#'d title has taken over FFX as my fav in the series so far.

I have a camping trip planned fort the 17th......that I am now canceling.

Yeah, i've never met anyone irl with simlair tastes as me. Outside of my immediate family I don't know anyone who likes video games, manga, anime etc. it doesn't get any geekier than my family though. My mom and dad are longtime D&D/Tabletop RPG players. my aunt is the one who got me into anime/manga/Jrpg's, my little brother and sister both play video gqames and watch anime haha. Even my grandmother likes play video games. Although she usually just plays browser games and things like bejewled. We're a very unique family.

Oh and Utawarerumono was awesome

Question: Another non-FFXIV related question, but I was wondering about opposites. What is one thing that you adore, but that you continuously encounter other people being unable to understand that you adore?

I pace. A lot.

I will walk back and worth over and over and over again. usually daydreaming up some random story in my head.(I never write them down though)

I think best when i'm moving. And often times I have to move. (I am ADD >_>)

It's one of my favorite things to do; just move.

Your not alone in liking FFXIII Deli, many do. XIII is really popular in Japan in particular. I don't know why some people seem to think that everyone hates XIII when that couldn't be further from reality. If they did, then they wouldn't have made 2 sequels. XD
