I was gonna say, if you were cycling through the US, my town could totally be the west coast pit stop; fill you guys up with local food and crap. Then again, if you WERE in the US, you'd probably have to make another west coast state your pit stop, lest you guys cycle over snow-packed mountain peaks... I don't have any money that I can sponsor you with, but I hope it's a successful journey! You have some experience under your belt, so I'd expect it to be a (mostly) safe trip.

My mood seems to cycle between happiness and depression in a 80/20 split. I'll discover something that I think is awesome and will feel elated and happy for a week, or longer depending on what it is, but for some reason I'll reach a point where I feel guilty about liking it, and feel like an idiot for enjoying myself so much. I'll feel depressed and blank for perhaps a day or two, then I'll snap back and be happy again. **Initially I typed that I'm happy 95% of the time, then I lowered it to 90%, and then to 80%... so much for optimism.

4425-2838-0131 I've been having loads of fun making pony/people doodles in Swapnote. It's probably my favorite thing to use my 3DS for, aside from playing games. I won't spam you with my silly doodles though. Besides Swapnote, the only online game I have is Kid Icarus: Uprising, and I'm not sure when I'll buy another game...

I agree. In my opinion this especially becomes an issue with topics from the Forum Games section or other active general discussion threads. The "How famous is the user above you?" topic is almost always in my top five topics I've participated in, and I posted in that topic once, several months ago.

I know that if I were Asian, I'd wear pea coats. All the time. Or random "over-the-top but it's okay because I'm Asian" shirts. See this? Casual shit right here. I wear this on a trip to the burger stand. 'Cause I'm Asian.

If you're like me, then your feelings of asexuality are actually due to environment/circumstance, but you already seemed to have accepted this as a possibility. In my case I've felt straight my entire life, but the amount of physical attraction I've felt towards females has always been extremely low; for the longest time I chalked it up to me being asexual, with a hint of heterosexuality (sounds completely ridiculous, right? XD), but this wasn't because I honestly felt this way, it was, more likely, because I had never been in a romantic/sexual relationship before. Only recently have I come to accept that a large part of this was me suppressing my own sexuality so that I felt like I would never want or need a relationship, not that I have to be in one now, but I'm able to accept that it's not something I entirely loathe (it IS nice to hold someone close to you...), that a relationship does have its own positive points. As to my physical attraction for the opposite sex... it's definitely there, but I've found that having compatible personalities plays an absolutely crucial role, as does accepting the person that I'm in a relationship with as a woman. But more about accepting someone as a woman... I think my attraction to someone depends on their gender instead of their sex. I don't believe I would feel any more attraction towards a woman who associated themselves as a man, than I would towards any biologically born male walking down the street. In the same way, I know that, if someone associates themselves as female, I can feel attracted to them, regardless of which sex their body currently is. I guess that means I'm straight, but in the sense that I'm attracted to the female gender. At least, this is what I know about myself so far... I'm sure there's much more that I will learn about myself in the future. As a final reply to your post (I like to go off on random tangents I guess...) I don't think you'll ever be able to make yourself turn asexual if you aren't already. It's probably healthiest to accept yourself as being straight if that's how you truly feel, but to not let your attraction to the opposite sex haunt or depress you because of your environment or circumstance.

I like electronic music. Genres like liquid dubstep/drum and bass, electro jazz, rock and pretty much any other kind of electro/genre hybrid greatly appeal to me. One of my favorite artists has to be goreshit. I wish I knew what genre his music belonged to, though; some of his songs sound so great to me.

Mega Man Legends 2 is probably my favorite game, and not because of its game play (which is good, but far from perfect) or because of its story and voice acting (which are funny to watch and listen to, but cheesy), but because of the pure enjoyment I get from playing it. The game is like comfort food to me - I've noticed that I feel so calm, happy and "at home" while playing it, the same way I feel while watching an episode of MLP - and although I remember every location, dungeon and boss fight that comes, that for some reason is what makes it so great to play through. Maybe it's because I haven't tried doing a 100% run on very hard mode, but the game has never felt boring or old to me. I'll likely continue to play it every so often, at least until the disk breaks, but I don't want to think about that.

Eiffel 65 - Blue, released in 1998. I was seven then, so - being understandably very impressionable when it came to music - I fell in love with this song and its artist when it came out. I even still like their songs to some degree; Eiffel 65's music is catchy, albeit repetitive and predictable in its structure.

This is probably the strangest song I have on my iphone. I actually like the bass/drum stuff in the song, but the loli anime voice clips and the screaming? I... I don't know... maybe this is what I get for listening to "lolicore" music.

Fennekin was the obvious choice the first time I saw the trailer, but Chespin's design has grown on me since then, so I'm stuck choosing between the two of them. I'll probably go with whichever has the best looking evolutionary line; Fennekin's will hopefully go the graceful/beautiful route, and Chespin rough and awesome.

I swear I've heard my tulpa say something while forcing. I was sitting upright when I audibly heard a female voice say "Are you tired?" Even earlier while lying down to sleep, I heard a soft voice say my name. Much later, while reading with my tulpa, I stopped reading in my thought-voice and continued to follow the text with my eyes, and I could hear a faint static-y female voice reading the text I was looking at. While I haven't completely associated the two former voices with my tulpa, I have heard her say a few words while in our wonderland. Unfortunately, I stopped forcing for about two or three weeks, so I may have lost some progress. I haven't spent time to purely focus either because of a lack of motivation, so her form has become extremely vague and nearly forgotten, but I think our connection was quickly reestablished. I look forward to the day where I can hear more of what she's saying. Here's hoping for a bright future between you and Twi.

In all my years of pokemon playing, I've NEVER found a single shiny. Well... except Red Gyarados.

So after a period of 2-3 weeks I'm finally back to tulpaforcing with Lethal. A lot has happened during this time, nothing bad, but it kept me from being able to focus on her for a while. I never forgot about her, but the memory of her form is very faint and much more general now. She'd pretty much look like a ghostly pony base now. It felt kind of strange trying to talk to Lethal again, but narrating seems like the best way to familiarize myself with her presence. I guess the next best step would be to work on her form again, but I mostly want to focus on making her presence stronger; sometimes, when I focus on her standing next to me, I get chills down my back, as if I feel like someone is really there. And now that I think about it, a lot of her activity in the past was sexual (not in THAT way!), like, she would seem really active before any sexy times began, and then afterwords would become quiet (gets what she wants and then leaves me in the dust, pssh). This actually repeated a few times up until my hiatus. Hopefully this break will make it easier to focus on us having a more stable and reliable level of connection - I really only desire to have a friend whom I can hug/snuggle with, not a fuckbuddy who comes into town for a day and then leaves for two weeks. :/ A few months ago I experienced an emptiness that I can only guess was the lack of my tulpa's presence. It lasted an entire day, and I was left feeling alone, quiet and depressed, and I didn't narrate to her because I didn't feel like there was anyone to narrate to. It sucked. I wonder, though, whether it will be your Dashie (her memories in the form you create), or just one that has your memories of her? I'm kind of just speaking out of my flank, but I don't want you to abandon your friend.
