So, it's almost 1 A.M., my ability to translate is burning out, and I figured "Hey, why not start a new topic where people just rant?"
Here is a rant by me on August 7th. Don't worry, I've written many more, this is just the most friendly for the forum. Rated PG-13. (The spoiler will release a slight wall of text.)
Spoiler! :
I'm writing this to attempt to keep myself in check for the next few years. Mahou shoujo Madoka magica (look it up if you have time) is currently my desktop background after having the AC background for over 4 years. It feels strange, I cannot deny that, however, moving to California has gotten me all f*cked up. I just don't know what to do...not in a desperate sense by any means. Simply that I'm just wondering aimlessly, because if I put it bluntly to myself I really am just stuck. I don't care for my mom's prying, albeit she has the right to, however that doesn't mean I have to like it. Also, I never wrote this in any of my past entries, but my trick to not give a f*ck about the bleed out was by watching...anime. Yeah, who knew? Last fall I watched a show called 'Toaru kagaku no railgun' [There is no scientific railgun]. It was quite interesting, in the sense that it gave me my first waifu, and only one I am true to. Go f*ck yourself if that disgusted you, this isn't for you, this is for me. Anyways, I will say that anime can change your thinking mannerisms, but I will never let one slide slandering it, calling it filth. There is an art to it, and a very fine one at that. However, my mom hilariously doesn't recognize the taboo it brings. If you walk into a room and declare "I LOVE ANIME! I'm an otaku." Odds are you're not going to make any friends out of anyone in that room, even if they like it too. It's just an odd taboo, that just works out really weirdly. Being me, I really don't care. As long as I can go home (wherever the f*ck that is) and lay my head in my duck pillow and talk to my stuffed animals, then whatever. I don't give a flying f*ck. I just live life how I should live it. Not afraid of anything, but never accepting anything either. In a strange Limbo where I don't care to move and am pleased with where I am at. This sense of complacency is starting to piss me off though. School starts in 2 weeks. Then I get to try myself out, and figure out what I really want to do. Nobody knows me here, yet at the same time, I don't care to be known by anyone here. Guess I'm just weird like that. However, I feel the need to continue my emo book, and odds are this will bleed over into it. So, goodnight me, with love, always, me.
Feel free to rant or whatever on this thread, I figure it couldn't hurt to share our real world problems occasionally.

Many.
Though it's possible to create a balanced life between anime and life.

In EX translating mode, I found that I only need 15 minutes sleep. Of course, the price to pay is steep...
I know they're a large company and such, but I'm still waiting for Yen Press to give me a reply on my application to be a translator.

Yen Press is great. If you get in, tell the company to ship more novels into Canada's bookstore.

Just 15 minutes? What's the price? A ritual or something?

2 cups of Teh Ping. Remember, Teh Ping--Iced milk tea. If extra sweet, will keep me really awake on sugar-high, so this is a dangerous forbidden technique to my kidneys.
Just did that, and will be watching the bears vs packers.

You know what's really sad? Now I know what to ask for if I'm really thirsty in Asian countries. They'll either hand me a cup of iced milk tea, or redirect me to your twitter page like your signature does.
I have yet to see what comes on here, I'll look as soon as my mom leaves so I don't have to get dressed.
