Well, where to begin.

I am Koukatsu. If we're on friendly terms, you can call me Kou. It sounds like Toe, with a hard K. Or you can call me Kouk, like the red can of pop.

I'm pretty much an open book, willing to disclose a large amount of my life. Life is just a story, after all, and what good is a story if you don't tell it? Which is why some of you may recall "Koukatsu Brand Story Time", or some may notice that I talk most when I talk of myself. It's not that I love the sound of my own voice, but that I love to tell the stories. But to pick at the story, to find snip-its that fit together to create a view of me from a singular post? This is a difficult task. So, in addition to what I post, feel free to Ask Me Anything, and I will use any questions to craft future posts in this blog.

I like Family Guy, Futurama... Obviously MLPFiM. Castle... Arrow... Constantine, South Park... X-Files.

This is just the weirdest way to talk about my life. It feels like a list, and I'm trying to avoid that.

My original bestpony is still my bestmane6. Rarity is best mane 5, end of discussion. You're welcome to your opinion, but I'm welcome to ignore it.

My true bestpony is Derpy. She is the embodiment of love and tolerance. The abuse she endures, not just from other characters, but from the overzealous bigots who tried to have her removed from the show, and actually succeeded in at least making them alter her character... Even so, she's always smiling, always doing her best, 4th wall be damned.

I like gaming. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft... XB1, PS4, PC... It's all good. Real gamers just game. None of this "you suck because you don't have console z, and console q is garbage" crap. My favorite series is .hack//, because it's a good story, a strange idea to play a game inside a game. Unique at the time it was created. Above that, it lasted two arcs over seven games, and all seven games carried your data from the first. It was an amazing thing, and I still have all seven games. That's the reason I own a fat PS3, instead of a slim. I'd drop money on their remakes in a heartbeat.

I graduated high school, though it was a close call. The grades weren't the issue, I got straight D's on purpose, put in minimum effort and all that, whole lot of cutting class. Being lazy and smart is a terrible combination. Another issue arose, and I was nearly expelled the week before senior finals. It's a twisted story, started by a sick lie that was created to abuse a simple truth. The entire purpose was to get me expelled, but I won over the people who would have done so, and was able to graduate, though I could not walk at my graduation.

I love anime and manga. There are far too many series that deserve a season two, and don't get one. My favorites include Mysterious Girlfriend X, My Little Monster, The World God Only Knows, Eden of the East, Guilty Crown... and many, MANY more.

I'm a bit scatterbrained, and rather forgetful. In the tail end of 2007, I was in an accident, some idiot snowbird made an illegal left, and I ended up with minor brain damage. When you travel, you should learn the laws of the place you're traveling to.

I've had a good life. I've been in fights, and made friends. I've been homeless, poor, middle-class. I've mooched off of blood relations, and worked several jobs. Presently, I have two jobs in addition to being staff. I don't NEED two jobs, but I part-time at GameStop, because it's fun. The money, and the discount, are just bonuses.

I've not chosen a pet, save once. I picked out a kitten. Years ago, my parents gave him away, without discussing it with me, or asking how I felt about it. Then they were surprised when I would no longer take care of THEIR cats. I don't understand that logic.

I'm rambling a bit, I do that, sorry.

Also, Socks fired me last night and gave Pathfinder all the jobs.

TL;DR version: I'm awesome. I like anime, manga, television, and gaming. Other people tried to tear me down, and failed. I am awesome.
