A guide to Emos

I am not Emo. That is the first thing I have to say. I do believe in failure as humans and all of the Emo ideology but I am not Emo. Here is a guide on what is, and how to be, an Emo.

First, is the categories:
Not,
Transitorial,
Minor*,
Major*,
Satanic War Emo!
(All categories are my personal opinion. All categories marked with an asterisk designates a possibility of S/H."


Not: Literally, not an Emo. If you find that the person in question does not fit into any of the other categories, please call them this. Most people are this (Well, depends where you look... And the age of the subject.)

Transitorial:  A very common type of Emo. These people refuse the branding of being an Emo (Most of the time) and do not commit Self Harm (If they do, they are a minor Emo.) These people could be people who are alone on Valentines day, stressed out at the world and disbelieving that their heart can love or something similar. These people also include people who follow Emo Psychology and the like.


Minor Emos: These people hate the world to a certain extent and/or commit self harm. These people no longer believe in the happiness that is inside them and are destined for failure. These people are usually a danger to themselves and those around them. Their minds are clouded and peace is not upon them. These people usually respond to the term Emo.


Major Emos: Like the above but more advanced.


Satanic War Emos: Goths, people that worship Satan and/or dress up to perform rituals. These people are into music akin to that that Emo humans like. They are not a true Emo but associated with them.

Well, that is Emos for you. They are crazy but need a little help. The term emo comes from the word Emotional. Emos are those who are too emotional about something and believe that they are a failure. A lot of people are like this. Emos also usually suffer from a form of depression, and so they are a little harder to work with. The depression could be caused by a lack of love, a feeling that the person is being used or death of a close friend.


In my opinion, as this whole post is, there are many ways to help these people. You'd be surprised on how much can be solved with a mere hug. If you are an Emo then please, please do not resort to suicide. Most Emos are people in their teenage years as it is a part of growing up. Another way to help 'Cure' Emos is to trust them. Ignore your mind to follow them, ignore your friends and help them, ignore the world and trust them completely. You will save them.


Self Harm:

Not the best thing in the world. The people who do this are immensly confused. I will tell you as much as I can about it and tell you how to... In a way.


Wrist cutting: The worst type. This is the most common. I would say that if you only lightly cut the wrist, you will have less chance of serious injury while feeling the benefits of pain. An alternate is to cut the back of the wrist.
Burning: Simply, burn yourself. This is safer than cutting yourself.
Mental Self-Harm: Seriously, all Emos do this. They hurt themselves because of delusions of the mind. They are Emos because of delusions.


If you ever need help, tell a teacher, tell a friend, tell anyone. Someone will help you.
Hugs are best.

How Bleach could be ruining your life:

By the way, when I say 'Bleach' I am not referring to the cleaning supporter.

To start off, I have written my first chapter of Katsuro (Yes, I told you this a while ago but any means of public advertising would be good) And my friend who runs a reading club says that it is pretty good. So... I got my first review. My intentions say I should write more but... I'll talk a little more on why I'm not in a little bit.

Another random topic to talk about is how I have been drawing better Anime all the time. My friends are completely perplexed by my advanced levels of drawing; one of them was even surprised that what I had drawn wasn't a printout... I draw by hand as mice suck. That is all.

A third topic (Last one before Bleach) is that I am now learning Flash. I don't have Flash Professional myself but I want to make some sort of tutorial akin to the one that taught me how to draw Manga (It's not Anime yet)
Well, as you can tell by my single line space, this topic is being continued but there are just paragraphs to support my views. I love paragraphs. But anyway, I know how to do most of the tutorial and everything but it may take some time for me to be bothered to start and everything. Scanning will be a pain.

So... Bleach. Anyone know anything about it? No? Good.
Bleach is a popular Anime/Manga series in Japan and is all about Ichigo, a boy who can see souls, gaining the powers of a Soul Reaper and... Well, I love it and would recommend it so.. I'm  not going to reveal the plot.
I just want to say that it is SOOOOOOO good that it deserves a seven 'O' so before describing how good it is.
The pure awesomeness is inspiring. So, what could be wrong with it? The answer?
It is too good. It has capitved my life. I have already fallen in love with Rukia Kuchiki and stopped hating people because they are ginger. I am now in love with the program. Because it is soo good, I am spending all my free time watching it and I am not getting anything done. My intentions are that I write Chapter Two of Katsuro tomorrow but... I'm not sure if I can. (By tomorrow, I mean after my next sleep... I'll explain later in this post.)
So, Bleach is too good for me to focus and my other projects are suffering for it (And this massive cut on my left hands middle finger is stopping me from holding down chords on my Dean Vendetta) and so it is ruining my life.
WATCH IT OR DEATH GODS WILL POSSESS YOUR SOUL! (I'm watching it in the original Japanese with English in the subtitles.)


Well, now that that is over, I can use two of the same words next to each other in a sentence. And also tell you about my living pattern.
First, I wake up. This is after a sleep. I'll go onto that in more detail later. I could wake up at 5:30 if I wanted to, nay, needed to. I need to be up with no obligations until at least ONE HOUR aftern this step.
Second, I have my seemingly awake moment. I am awake instantly but this is only temporary. If I have no obligations, I am pretending to be asleep in bed while contemplating the secrets of the universe.
Third, I have my HALF-ASLEEP moment. This occurs when I am bored. I fall asleep randomly during this period but this is disturbed if:
1. I have to move.
2. I speak.
Fourth, I have my main time. I am awake during this time. I don't fall asleep or do anything in this time except what I want. If I'm hungry, I eat. If I want to speak, I'll speak. I spend this time interracting with my human form.
Fifth, I have fun time. I do anything, whenever! Usually at this laptop. I have no obligations. The difference between this and Four is that I can do anything in this time. Weekends skip to this point.
Sixth, I have complete awakeness. I can think my best, type my best and act my best. This is what my mum calls, Bedtime. I am a nocturnal person. I have 18+ hour days and the last three are me at my best. Talking becomes a hazard and I act impulsively, perfectly.
Seventh, I have sleep time. Sleep time lasts either:
1. On school days, until 5:30.
2. On weekends, however long I want.
And I will only execute this step when I want. No-one is the boss of me, not even Souls of those around me. I am Xander, I do as I please.


And that is my day. Six is my best for thinking, Two is just in case I am in danger when I wake up or get an oppotunity for food. Three is my 'Confrim that you're awake' point. Four and five and the main parts of the day. Seven is sleep.


That is all, I use Megaupload to view Bleach and that has a "72  minutes on, 30 minutes off" Policy to reduce danger to bandwidth. I have used up the "off" time writing this. Why? I felt like I need to practice typing for tomorrow.


Goodnight all.

EDIT: It doesn't matter what the clock says, I typed this up between 0:40 on Febuary the Twelth and 1:20 on the same day. The clock said something about the time being "17:21"

Writing

Anyone actually read this? No? Good. I'll use it to vent anger and egotistic problems then.

What is top of my mind? Febuary the Tenth is soon. That is my least favourite day of the year. I'm not going to explain why, that would be a waste of time but... Events on that day has lead to a spiral of depression and a lot of harm, mostly self-inflicted. I have ICT all day on Thursday and that is my favourite subject. I guess total solitude on that day would be welcome... Your attitude is welcome, welcome. Your solitude is welcome.

But that's not todays main event. Todays main event is writing.

I have written a short story about two characters called Josh and Hannah and they become vampires. That's basically it. I recently posted a post about how some people cannot write stories. Along with the post in question, I wrote a short character profile about Moriko Kyami. I got the name by googling "Japanese Female Names" And made up a plot for her. I decided to combine the past with my present.

Sors Castrum was my past, gothism and love. My present is Japanese Art. I was bored and so made some new characters, Katsu Aoki and Mizuki Hara. The names are actual names for stuff. Mizuki became an artist, Moriko became a naturalist and Katsu became a warrior. I designed a town based off my home town (Rochford became Rochigo) and then made up a story. This story involved a fourth person, Ryo, a demon. I had an idea to make Katsu and Ryo combine spirits at will and become, Katsuro.

And so the name became Katsuro. I wrote up the first chapter keeping my aunties advice in mind. I published this as a Facebook note. No, no-one has read it. I haven't even RE-read it. I'm starting to doubt myself.

So... I have written some more storywork. That's all.
