Berumotto

Heard of it, but not going to play. I think if I got addicted, there would be more at stake than meets the eye.

Secret of the day: While my best friend went on a date, I stayed home and took six pages of notes on Economics. Hashtag am I cool yet?

Detective Conan has been more than just a favorite TV show. On days when I wanted to simply disappear from this earth, I had Detective Conan to help me laugh the tears away. When friendships ended, family members fought, and relationships faded, I could always seek comfort in the sarcasticly adorable Shinichi, super-suave Kaito Kid, or wise yet unassuming Shiho. DC has truly enriched and shaped my life. Signs of KCN poisoning... dehydration... strangling... I've garnered an elementary understanding of forensics. A great entertainment, a slight obsession, and a learning experience--that's DC to me! Even though this series has run for 20 years and I am dying to know the conclusion of the manga, the little girl within who has loved DC since age 7 doesn't want it to end. I've already waited and watched for ten years; so ten more will not be a problem. (Anyone get the reference? ) I await the happy ending promised by Gosho Aoyama. Whatever it is, I am ready.

Dear S.V., What can I say. I can't forget last summer, and I keep hoping that you'll remember me and will want to be more than last time. But in all honesty, I don't think you're the perfect fit for me-- your emotional stolidness doesn't complement my emotional instability. And you're leaving this year, so I don't even think this can work. The girls around you are so gorgeous and smart (especially your ex. She's so beautiful and thin.) I don't even know what to do anymore.

Another secret of mine: In kindergarten, I was bullied to the point where I once hid under a bus seat to escape my bully. My sweater was really dusty after that.

Berumotto is the Hepburn romanization of how the word "Vermouth" is pronounced in Japanese. Vermouth is one of the most mysterious characters. I see a bit of her within myself.

Watched DC in bed all day.

I adore Ai. I would hate to see her die, but if Gosho Aoyama can pull it off in a satisfying way (without loose ends), then I will still be satisfied, if a little sad. If she lives, I want her to be happy. Preferably not paired with Shinichi, though-- I'm a big ShinRan. (Not that I thought Ai liked Shinichi like that anyways.)

Sometimes I do it unintentionally. I will say something that is expected of me, rather than something I truly believe. Example: If I hear that someone is sexual active, I will proceed to call them a whore, mainly to agree with the people around me. I don't believe in slut shaming at all, but I 'lie' anyways. It's one of my biggest regrets-- not saying what I think. I do that on Twitter and Facebook. I really hope they don't have profile view trackers; otherwise, I'd really be screwed. I feel that I don't either. Not to sound like "a teenage white girl", but I often feel that no one understands me. That sounds extremely stereotypical though... What I mean to say is that nobody besides myself knows all my secrets, thought proceses, and feelings... Therefore nobody understands me. Don't get in trouble with the law, now!

Konichiwa. Ehhhh... uhmm.... arigato... demo.... NANI... kuso... zutto... (end of Japanese knowledge)

People who judge harshly for someone doing drugs/drinking. I say this with my one girl friend in mind-- she completely cut off connections with her crush once she learned he drinks and smokes. I personally don't see the big deal. So long as you don't pressure your friends and harm others, I don't see the problem with befriending someone who uses drugs. I genuinely don't understand people like that.

I can't vote. I can't choose between Vermouth, Ai, Shinichi, Kid, Heiji... Vermouth is so bad-ass. The way she can tease Gin and not be reprimanded. The way she's Anokata's favorite, yet hides so much from him/her. The way she protects Ran and Conan, to the extent where she gives up her manhunt for Sherry. Call her the 'Rotten Apple' if you want, but I find her to be one of the most human BO members. Ai is so mysterious and sad, yet intelligent. Always giving Conan reality checks when his hormones go awry. Hard to do when a dangerous organization is hunting you and the memories of your dead sister follow you everywhere. She reveals so little about the BO to Conan... I wonder why that is. Shinichi is cocky, but I adore his intellect and his ability to make deductions off of minute proof. Kid is just great. So bad-ass, I can't even. Heiji's accent gets me everytime. I also find him signficantly funnier than the other teen detectives.

I went to a high school party last night. I feel very mixed about it.

Fairly self-explanatory topic. It can be serious or fairly comical! I suppose I can start us off. One time at work, a very rude teenager came in and purposely underpaid. We gave him his double cheeseburger, but I secretly poured pickle juice on it. *laughs evilly*

I adore ShinRan episodes (Desperate Revivial was AMAZING), but my absolute favorite goes to episode 96, one of the first times when Ran figures Shinchi out. The confrontation is absolutely hilarious. If you don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJhxUdvW6nY

Believe us, we're not mindless in the least. Allow me to heartily present you to DCW! It's quite fun. I'm berumotto. If you've got any questions, do speak up. My personal preferences for episodes: -when romance is involved. Especially between the main couples (Shinichi and Ran, Heiji and Kazuha, Sato and Takagi, etc.) -when I can understand the hints and deductions. It bothers me when Conan says something like "The person touched their glasses. Therefore they are a 39-year-old woman from Osaka who works in an office because x, y and z" (where x y and z stand for ridiculous, far-fetched details nobody really understands but we go along with it, because it's Conan. -when there's something SPECIAL about the case. With 700+ episodes, I don't have the time to watch all them. I pick and choose: I skip TV originals (don't contribute to plot line), and cases where nothing is developed (romance? BO appearances? new characters?). Enjoy your time here!

The Coffee on Elm Street. (I bet it'd be killer. ) couscous

Unlike the majority, I actually enjoyed movie 11. Yes, Sonoko was a total idiot (she didn't try to run or jump off the boat? Same with Ran.) but I thought it was pretty exciting, even if nobody died. Movie 16, on the other hand... well, I was really uninterested. I've never been a huge soccer/sports person, and there were so many players that I couldn't keep the story straight. Motives were relatively weak, too.

Time. I want time, and maybe some motivation would be helpful. I'm quite lazy...
