spiderpigHurrah, Rune Factory and my ARIA neck-strap are on its way from Hong Kong and Japan respectively. And shall reach our sunny Singapore shores in a week! Going to break them in in Hong Kong. I bought Rune Factory especially for Hong Kong because I need a game to pull me through the plane-rides, train-rides, car-rides, any other vehicular rides; and the lack of an mp3 player to drown out incessant Auntie talk that will surround me.
While studying for my JS1101E exam (which is a pain because the past year papers are so irrevelant thatI hope people do them and get the wrong idea I'm just re-reading my notes to refresh my mind), I suddenly remembered an exchange that happened a few weeks ago over Gloomy Bear.
Anyone who has known me since secondary school, or notices the things I carry, will note that I'm a rabid Gloomy Bear fangirl. I take great care in collecting merchandise and most importantly, bits of information about the character and other Mori Chax products. So when I was rebufed the other day, I was more than miffed.
I noticed a green gloomy bear key-chain on a classmate's laptop case and exclaimed "oh hey you like Gloomy Bear too!" and fished out my worn out GB pencil case (PHOARRR!!!!) to show the same keychain - but in blue - and sort of expected a fellow fangirl squeal.
Obviously, from the tone of this article, I didn't get that sort of response. :\ Instead, when my other friends questioned about why he had blood over him, I very enthusiastically responded with "That's because bears naturally attack humans" which is paraphrased from Mori Chax himself. To be put into context, what Mori Chax meant was that, the 'cutification' of animals was deceptive. In real life, a bear (e.g. Pooh, Yogi Bear etc) wouldn't allow a human to hug or manhandle it like we do to teddy bears and such. They'd maul us simply because it's in their nature as a defense mechanism.
But when I said that I got this horrified look from her and she went, "Noooooo!!!" and muttered something that totally went against Mori Chax's philosophy.
): I was saddened. And annoyed.because I are elitist!! Because I mean, if you claim to be a fan you should at least do some basic research via wiki! To me, the word "fan" has a connotation of at least doing some homework. Psh, I bet she doesn't even know that Mori Chax is the artist. :\
