The General Thread of the General Board

[Blake Deimos]

Rude? I do believe my connotation was neutral but seeing as these are text replies, you deciphered it the way you wanted it to be translated.
I'm not one to attack a person if they simply to not enjoy something for that would be rude. I apologize if you took it that way.
But, Miss Granger, I must request of you: Read before you try and correct someone. Thank you.

[Hermione Granger]

Then I must ask, why would you post something that is an anime/cosplay on a hp rping site? It just doesn't make sense to me.
And, how perchance would I have read it, unless I had clinked on the link that would send me to the original page. As it stands, I pressed 'play' on this page and the video started- no reading material providing. Thank you.

[Blake Deimos]

Because it was related to Harry Potter of course. The twins and Luna Lovegood, if you did not read what I replied to Miss Radke, are in a skit that entails their persons in the midst of a Cosplay contest and halfway through they decide it isn't working. I believe George even makes a remark about how they should have used Polyjuice Potion.
I added a comment afterward, explaining if one wanted the English translation to click through to the actual youtube page. If no reading material was provided, you did not provide it for yourself, thus you still did not have right to correct.
I do believe this is getting a bit out of hand since it was one silly, little video. I've apologized and would like to let this go if you are in agreement.

[Hermione Granger]

I believe I was reading your writing and mine, not what everyone else is posting.
Too many people in a conversation can make it confusing for someone who's been working 7am to 12am for the last week.
Though today was my last day for the week.
Amen.


And I didn't see that it was related to Harry Potter. Two seconds of, in my opinion, obnoxious OHC and I'm done. I mean, it's not even that it's a really bad show. I'm just a mecha type of girl.


See, you've been seeing this as an argument. I've been seeing this as a conversation. However if you feel it is an argument, feel free to take it that way.

And anyone, anywhere has a right to put in an opinion and try to correct when possible. Saying that they have no right (if I can assume you're an American) is unconstitutional, as the First Amendment states something along the lines of freedom of speech. -> Now that was argumental.

[Blake Deimos]

That makes sense though if you were reading mine, you'd have read what I replied to Miss Radke.
Congratulations on your last day of work. Almost every person I've talked to on here has been killing themselves and still manage a role play life.

Mecha, eh? Are we talking Gundam Wing mecha, Neon Genesis Evangelion mecha, or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann mecha?

I did not see it as an argument but the aura around the conversation was getting tense.
I agree with what you've replied but must refer back to Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism," to respond with "A little learning is a dangerous thing," for you may have had right in the sense of law but you avoided "Drink[ing] deep[ly]" from "the Pierian spring" which may have left you intoxicated in a false sense of security and confidence in your original response upon the video.
Again though, this just has to be dropped. It's a video. We're here for the Potter, not to have electrified conversations.

[Hermione Granger]

First two with some zoids thrown in. I also like Big O- Now that's old school.


And, I was suppose to do 7am-12am Monday through Friday, and then work 11am-12am Saturday, Sunday. But I was (happily) let off with pay for Friday and we're closed on Saturday do to a band cancellation.

[Blake Deimos]

Zoids? Very good taste Miss Granger. Though I must admit I have never heard of Big O. Care to elaborate for someone who knows nothing?

It sounds like you have good karma on your side to have your schedule cut with such a good end.

[Hermione Granger]

Well, my schedule got cut because I worked myself into a bronchial spasm today and was put on a short medical leave. I can't go about twenty seconds without coughing- it sucks. But I'll be ready for work come Sunday, I just hope my voice had returned by then.

And I've always seen Big O kinda like the mecha version of batman. Rich guy creates a mobile fighting suit that he does justice with. In real life he's a negotiator for the police. And he has a butler, that in the English translated version, I believe is called Jeeves.

And if I was more coherent than sick I could totally take on the wealth of knowledge stuff and give quite the argument back. But as it stands I'm typing this and looking for couch syrup- not the ideal timing for a philosophical argument on the proper points of criticism and humanity.

[Blake Deimos]

Working while ill, on bronchial illness at that, how terrible. I'm glad (no offense of course) you fell ill to earn yourself a small reprieve for rest and anything else you may have on hold due to work. If you don't have your voice back by Sunday, I suggest purchasing a vuvuzela and trying to communicate with that.

Mecha Batman? I think this deserves a watching as I do like Batman very much. Any chance this show is on the lovely miracle that is the internet somewhere?

Maybe another day then Miss Granger, maybe another day.

[Hermione Granger]

Cough syrup! Not couch syrup! Okay, that by itself should have argued my unfitness to be, well, anything but sleeping.
And, I have chronic bronchitis, but it has gone down so much, I haven't had one of these fits since, wow, um, probably the fall of 08. But when you do get them, they're horrible. It feels like your lungs are filling with water, but you can't breath deeply because breathing at all making you start coughing, and then once you start coughing you can't stop.
And, I just won't go in on Sunday. Working at a bar type place means that you need your voice.

And I'm sure you can find Big O on the net. It was very popular once upon a time. You know, when dinosaurs like me roamed the earth freely, most likely with allowance from parents.

I love both the opening and closer. I've done the closer at a couple open mics and coffee houses. Always a big hit.

[Blake Deimos]

Oh! I didn't even pick up on the typo. Ahaha, couch syrup... Why not go to sleep then?
I am lucky enough to say I've never had bronchitis but I could not imagine suffering chronic bronchitis. I send you my wishes for a quick and swift recovery, Miss Granger.
Enjoy the extra day off then.

I'll have to search for it and hunt the show down for myself then. It sounds very enjoyable and easy to get attached to.
Aw, I have to watch this now. Reminiscent of classic anime, a must.

[Hermione Granger]

Mmm. It is a great show.
And I usually recover pretty quick. I've had chronic bronchitis since well, I want to say sixteen or seventeen. And that was a whillle ago. A long while ago actually. Wow. I feel old. But, anyway I have the antibiotic treatments and everything down to an art.

I'm just disappointed that I can't find Zoids anywhere- chaotic century or not.

And, I can't sleep despite it being six in the morning. The cough is keeping me awake.

Totally a classic, literally. I think it was one of the first animes ever produced. Right up there with Speed Racer and oh. I forgot what it's called. With the rockets and machines.

[Blake Deimos]

It's sad you've had it often enough to know what to do but at the same time, lucky you can recover quickly.
Are you that old? I don't find myself believing you're a year past eighteen but maybe your aura just feels young.

You can't find Zoids? I just found The Big O seasons one and two.
I don't know if this will work for you: www.animetip.com/watch-anime/z/zoids
www.animea.net/download/356/Zoids.html
I used to watch Zoids on the television all the time.

A cough like that would keep anyone awake if it happens too often.

Speed Racer, oh Merlin, what a classic. And do you mean Astro boy?

[Hermione Granger]

Why, yes I do mean Astro Boy. Thank you for understanding that jumbly muck of gook.
And I am much older than 18. I teach secondary school.
And I haven't the time to look at that now, but I will look at it later- thank you.
