haha, true, so true
Lol. I have to put this on. I was going on random people's places, just for the fun of it and to see other ppl's sites (some which can be pretty good) when I came upon this one place. The guy was Australian, and he seemed a little concerned about the popularity's stat's. He seemed to notice that most of the Otakuians around here are "female yanks" I had to laugh so hard. But I believe its true, most otakuians are american chicks between 11 and 18.
I thought that was funny... but not entirely true, lol. I also admit that there are much more mexicans around here than I'd normally expect, both chicks and dudes. (yesh,... VIVA MEXICO!!!) There are also a variety of asians and pasific islanders, along with the rare european tossed in The Otaku.
I guess what made me laugh at the comment made by our dear australian was for two reasons. One, the way he said it! I've never read anything written by an australian, born and raised in australia, who is still alive. His speech was much different from what I'm used to, and I found his terms (example, lasses) kinda funny and strange. But I'm sure he, as well as ohers, feel the same way when I say "dude" or "chick". The second reason is cause when I first signed up here, I really didn't know what I expected. Certanly not american girls. I come from the central coast of california. all the cities here are in spanish. you walk down my school's hallways and you're lucky to spot a cacasian. Its as if american cacasians are extinct in this city! Maybe that's why I expected more people from other cultures to be here. And I certainly did expect more guys around here than chicks, cause as far as I know, I'm the only chick around campus who likes this anime stuff. Its mostly the boys that are into this. And that kinda pisses me off....
I guess the reason why I'm writting this is cause I love it when I discover difrences in nationalities. I love being a mexican. I love my culture and my roots. But I also love exploring other people's cultures and traditions. I guess that's what got me hooked on anime. Its part of Japan. And I'm obsessed with the japanese culture. In fact, I'm obsessed with any culture other than mine. I find it weird, but so damn interesting on how different we can be. Its curiosity! And, quite frankly, I won't be surprised if curiousity kills me like it killed the cat!
I'll leave you people alone now. I've been touched and inspired by our cultures. And to think... all of this because of the words "female yanks", lol
Never let go of your roots people...
and remember.... ĦQUE SE HOIGA EL GRITO DE MI RAZA!
Stay Safe! *wink wink*
