I'm glad I'm not boring you XD Does sound fancy XD Also sounds yummy :D I also had chicken, but just an instant microwavable breaded strips and some rice. I love Pocky, my favourite is the almond flavour ones ^_^ I like how they have a little message saying something like we left a bit of biscuit so you don't get your fingers all chocolatey XD Aw pocky kisses look so cute >.< We have so many different stores around where I am yet hardly any east asian ones. I really wish there was a sushi place near by, the supermarket sushi I sometimes get isn't the best What kind of food do you usually eat? What's you favourite kind?

I agree, I don't think it's right for people to try and force their beliefs onto people. I've always found the idea of reincarnation interesting, and I would like to believe in karma in that there are consequence for your actions whether they're good or bad. Yay for curiosity ^_^ I think learning interesting things makes life more fun :D And if everything could be made interesting everything would be fun then XD Yea it's the same in London too. Not only the noise but at night it's never dark because of all the street lights and shop signs and the air in the city's quite polluted too :( It's ok, I hope I'm not writing too much, I ramble and waffle so much XD My day has largely revolved around the computer today, I'm getting told to do more chores XD But that's my usual day to day life, I spend all my free time on the computer. I've also been enjoying some snacks I got from a Chinese store me and my mum visited for Chinese New Year ^_^ I wish there were shops that sold Japanese and Chinese snacks nearer to me, it's quite a drive. How about you? How's your day been?

yea I could talk for hours about anime, what I thought was good about them, what I thought was bad and all about characters personalities and past yet ask me about the same information about a historical event or figure and I'd just scratch my head and shrug XD I can't really draw the characters from anime or games I've seen or played but little bits of what I've seen before come through when I'm drawing and I can see exactly where a certain accessory or style of eyes came from and it frustrates me XD I wish I could create completely original drawings but then even the style I use is borrowed from anime and manga. Also skills would be nice, if I had some actual talent and skills it would probably make drawing easier XD I hate the feeling of not knowing what do so much >.< I honestly prefer if my boss just gives me a check list of what needs to be done and when I need to do it by rather than at my job, especially when I was new, my manager was often busy and couldn't always give me instructions or teach me so I felt really uncomfortable standing around feeling I should be doing something but not knowing how to anything or what my responsibilities were. I actually enjoyed religious education (we always shorted it to RE at school) I especially liked learning about the different gods and legends in Hinduism, I love learning about polytheistic religions like the religion of the Ancient Egyptians and the Romans and Greeks and all their myths. I struggled to take in information with Islam and Judaism though. Really a lot of it was probably common sense but I kept forgetting all the details. I even took RE in college but I had to drop it because I failed it completely XD Although it was more philosophy and ethics than religion, I found the philosophy side really interesting but the ethics side, how someone of each religion would view certain issues; abortion, homosexuality etc. From that side I see what you mean about the rejecting and hostile side, because sometimes religion can seem that way but I think it's really just narrow minded people. I think it all depends on how religious people apply their religion to life, my family is Christian almost by default, we believe in God but don't really practice our religion. I think religion is good when it helps people through rough parts of their life or encourages people to be more compassionate and charitable but I don't like the restrictions that can come with religious beliefs. I believe in God by personal choice, if someone does not then I get to learn a new perspective as to why they think differently to me and it's something I honestly like learning about, I like that different people have different beliefs and faiths, as long as no one's getting hurt then whatever people believe in is fine with me. I haven't got many very religious friends but maybe because London, especially my local area has a real range of cultures and races there is quite a mix among my friends, though it does make finding a restaurant we can all eat at a bit difficult XD I agree, I'm also friendly to people as long as they don't stab me in the back XD I'm not thrown off, I think your opinion makes perfect sense. Ahh yea it took a little research for me to find conventions in London too. The only thing that makes me wish I could live in the heart of the city is everything is nearer together, more convenient and easier to access, from where I am conventions and activities my friends want to do are quite a long journey away. Also the centre of the city has much better parks and nature reserves than where I am, my local parks are so small and run down XD

I also really want to see some Roman Ruins, I'd love to visit Rome or Greece. I went on a school trip to the Roman bath houses in Bath, and I went again with a friend on holiday, it was so interesting :D I actually prefer the more idyllic periods of history, like the early Ancient Egyptians or the Roman Empire under Augustus ^_^ I've always wanted to go to the Glyptotek in Denmark because I often see images in the books I own of Roman art with a little caption saying the original is at the Glyptotek I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger because I've always loved history and I'm quite interested in dinosaurs and extinct animals too :D Learning about how they lived from their remains really interested me, one of the reasons I did Classical Civilisation at school and college. I also have issues with my memory, I'd love to be in some field relating to animation or games design but I tried working with a few random free programmes before and that didn't work out XD I mean I'm still clueless about how to use GIMP even though I draw on it quite a lot, I really only half understand the very most basic stuff and I only really learn from practice rather than tutorials. One good thing about having a bad memory is I can read my history books and be fascinated by what I read, then I forget it all and et to read it all over again XD I really don't take in information well LOL I'm actually the opposite with drawing, I like to draw out of my head rather than sketch what I see in front of me but my head is full of all the films, anime and games and art I look at so it's hard to be original :/ Yea I prefer to work individually because I worry I'll either not do enough myself and be a burden on others or I'll take away too much work from others and I worry a lot about getting on people's nerves XD If I'm working alone it's only me who has to pay if I make mistakes and there's no one for me to annoy XD Yea I wish I could do more with friends too. Me and my friends all do very different things, many are at Uni and those of us that work do so on different days so it's hard to get everyone together. Because Uni exams and Muharram are over (you might already know but during muharram my muslim friends can't hold or attend celebrations for religious reasons)there are lots of birthday celebrations coming up so it's hard for eeryone to find dates convenient for everyone, me and a friend once held ours as a combined party to make things easier XD I would really like to travel more too, but even though I'm still living at home, my mum doesn't earn a lot either so it's enough that she has to pay the bills and for food for the both of us so I can't travel unless she wants to visit family (we haven't got any living in England so it's expensive to visit any of our relatives) I really wish I could cosplay too but costumes are expensive and I'm terrible at sewing XD I've been to one convention but it was so far me and my friend had to get up so early we were really sleep deprived during it XD And the stuff there is soo expensive O_O But they sell some amazing stuff at the one I went to, real swords and ornamental guns as well as the usual merchandise. I didn't actually buy a single thing because everything was way beyond my price range but it was still a fun event to see. Do they have many conventions in Denmark? And are they far for you to travel to?

Same here, even when my brain's awake my body's just like no, I'll get up a bit later, give me 5 more minutes XD I love drawing, once I get started I'm dead to the world and need to be reminded to eat and drink and sleep XD And I also read a lot (currently a lot of non-fiction) I'm very interested in history, especially ancient history so if I see a book in a charity shop or a book on sale really cheap to do with history I almost always buy it XD I used to visit the library next to my workplace everyday during lunch and spend my whole break reading but they shut that library down now :( I love to watch movies and of course anime :D I don't spend much time on manga though, I usually just catchup on the latest chapter of what I'm following so that's just 2 or 3 chapters a week that I read. I do like to flick through the character books I own though, I have one for Naruto, Bleach and Death Note so I like to read those and see how tall characters are, what there favourite foods are etc. I don't really watch TV, after the digital switch over the TV in my living room doesn't have access to channels any more so I'd have to use mum's if I wanted to so I catch up on the few shows I watch online. I also browse TV channel websites and have a ook at any documentaries that catch my eye, I love to watch documentaries ^_^ Again, especially about the ancient world :D My dream job would be a mangaka or an assistant to a mangaka but I know that's very unlikely to happen. I also dream of being an author but that's also pretty impossible because I can't write for the purpose of selling, checking all the boxes to make a book earn money but what I want to write isn't original or unique so when I write it's only ever nonsense that I find fun to write XD I'd love a job like carpentry or sculpting and to be someone who makes clocks (my username is mechanical watch in japanese ^_^) or dolls, artisan jobs would really appeal to me, but again with my skillset impossible dreams XD The most realistic job I'd like is some kind of office work, work I can independently get stuck into and just work my way through without interruption would be my ideal, I'd love to work in a museum or at a publishing company. What about you? What is your dream job? And what are your hobbies?

I would like somewhere quite spread out, not too close to the heart of the city. My cousin in Canada has a really lovely house next to a golf course and there are a lot of woods near by the shops aren't too far away but the road she lives in is like an enclosed green and the houses have quite big gaps between them so if your neighbours were noisy you'd never know XD For some reason I've always wanted balconies and an attic XD What about you? What would your dream house be like? I slept quite well thanks, probably comes of going to bed at like 2 am XD How about you? How did you sleep? Yea I've only been up a couple hours, I was just doing boring stuff like dishes and taking out some trash XD What about your day? You an early riser? Or you just been up for a little while like me?
kikaishikitokei
That is true, I can't wait till I one day have that freedom, even if it does come with money concerns XD I wish you good luck with this new challenge to your wallet! I spend a lot of time in my daydreams XD So I'm always thinking about my dream home or even my dream flat as a stepping stone first XD I hope it will, the qualification isn't really worth much but hopefully the experience I for working will help me get a job. Yay, I'm glad you enjoy talking too ^_^ Thanks, and I guess it's a good afternoon from me now XD

Living home makes you have to worry less about money. Its one of the only thing i see now, after i moved out living for myself. But on the other hand, i got my freedom instead. At the cost of managing my economy alot more. But i survived many tight gaps until now, a new one comming when i move. DX One day i also wanna have a house, but im not thinking about that so much, cause its way out in the future still. X3 And i guess your apprenticeship will help you better out on the job market? I dont really have any expirence myself out there, sadly. Im glad, i enjoy talking with you. :3 (Im also going to bed now, so goodnight and sleep well)
kikaishikitokei
Sadly why I'm still staying with my mum, rent and bills and money money money XD I really want to move out myself one day. Realistically I'd like to find a flat I can afford but I'd love to one day own a house or a bungalow. I would very much like to find a new job but the contract situation is a bit unclear at the moment so I need to wait for my apprenticeship certificate (one of the reasons I took the course was you get work experience, pay and a qualification) then I can hopefully move on to something else I would be happy to talk more ^_^ this has been a fun conversation XD I'd also love to here more about yourself :D (although I need to go to sleep now so my next reply will probably be quite late sorry >.<)

That's such a pain :( I love cats too but I have asthma so I don't think it would be healthy for me to keep one. I'm also very concerned I wouldn't be able to give it proper care and pay for it's needs, vet bills in particular are apparently very expensive. Aw no D: I've been lucky never to be attacked by a dog but my mum always taught me to be wary just encase, they can be very dangerous, especially if the owner hadn't treated the dog well.
