@Jem-chan: {Adjusts glasses} Hmm, I can’t wait for the unabridged version.

@Jem-chan: Awww. This is only a guess based on my limited experience. But my guess is that your brand of crude vocalization, stubborn intimidation and paranoid cynicism is flashier and more fiery than most. Like a hypnotizing display of blinding fireworks at night, oooh, aaah. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to couple such display with physically appealing features in the eyes of men (see Dogs) either, haha… In those cases, my strategy would be to not get blinded by her light or burned by her fire. To keep a cool head. To keep a sharp ear. But also to challenge her in return. Ah, the play of the Devil’s Advocate. Because when executed cleverly, a challenge can be quite fun. ^o^

@Jay: I can be hysterical, but very very very rare. I am paranoid, but scary paranoid, I suppose. I am also quite cynical. I tried to record a podcast for a video game review and I had problems editing it, so I never revisited the idea. Despite all these seemingly negative traits, a lot of people (see Men) enjoy my company, haha. I’m guessing that they are amused with those characteristics all lumped into a single entity.

@Jem-chan: Awww… No worries! After all, I’m sure there are worse names than “Jem’s Buddy” or “Jem’s Devil” out there, lol. Ahh yeah, apps, files, folders, tabs and messages, I know that feeling! I’m lucky I only have one laptop screen and one side monitor at work, or I’d be filling more screens with even more crap, lol… Hmm, violent, crude, intimidating, sounds like my ex during our final fights. At least, u didn’t say “hysterical” or “paranoid”. I’m beginning to get a better idea… Of course, if u recorded an MP3 podcast, I’d be very curious… and most-likely, enlightened.

@Jay: I can’t reply to your post directly. The [br] tag hates me :{ Hahaha, yes. I’m well aware of the subtle hints. I have a dry erase board at work to put my tasks or any other relevant things on it. At the very top, I drew a chibi devil with the label “Jem’s buddy”. My boss seems highly amused with the way I do things and why and how I do it such as having two internet browser windows open to simultaneously conduct and filter out searches whilst having 6 tabs on each one and not counting the numerous Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and folders that I have open in the back. I can’t really name specific things that I’ve said, but they seem to amuse others. I am also violent, crude, and am known to have a sharp tongue or intimidate some of my co-workers. I guess you’d just have to hear and hang out with me in real life to really get what I’m saying. Perhaps having stereotypically “non-feminine” attributes and hobbies have shaped who I am XD.

@Jem-chan: Hmm, not even the [br] tag works as a spacing?

Ahh, haha, my clever hints and nudges don’t seem to budge your shield. I’m curious about specific examples of those shocking words or mannerisms. Cuz after all this time, I still haven’t been too “shocked” by u yet, have I? Including your mythical “cyber lemons”, lol.

@Jay: I would be inclined to say that it was within the last couple of weeks. I still don’t know how to do it. I can’t even get some space in-between the blog banner pictures on the right side.

Yes, this is true. I’d have to say it’s easier to be more shallow and superficial with figures because it’s quality that I’m looking for and these girls aren’t exactly cheap. I can’t carry over the same criteria to the same extreme for individuals in real life. If I ever met a gorgeous girl who had an attitude that was worse than pig manure, then I’d definitely not want anything to do with her. Well, anything serious or long-term, I suppose.

I think people, especially men, are shocked by the things that come out of my mouth or my mannerisms. Guess, they aren’t all that used to a girl like me XD

@duckie: I am a big fan of that artistic and historic period, so I will indiscriminately buy figures with that criteria given that the quality and manufacturer are both satisfactory to me. They normally go for anywhere from $75-90, so $40 was pretty awesome. While I am not familiar with the series, I have a feeling that I would enjoy the franchise because it is in line with genres that I enjoy. I love handsome men and he’s a great addition to keep my hot women some company.

I think Pocco is nice, but it was mainly the hubby who wanted her. I’m not all that into articulated figures of such small scale as the revoltechs or figmas. I prefer them to be a sizable scale. Shunya Yamashita is great at making gorgeous looking women. I’ve got at least 9 figures with 2 pre’d. I was thinking about preordering some more, but I’ll have to see.

“All I know is that he resembles feudal/ancient historic Asia where I am absolutely in love with the clothing style. Plus, he is a male and a good-looking male figure is not unheard of, but often seldom encountered within the pvc realm.”

I was really drawn to those figures for that reason, but I really couldn’t handle that they were 1/10th and at the pricetag you mentioned. In the end I decided to skip them entirely and save my hunting time for other figures of characters I knew and loved.

I really adore Pocco quite a bit, I LOVE my Pocco Revoltech and if there was a PVC figure of her I’d surely snatch her up. I like Shunya but I don’t collect all his figures, as of right now I believe I only own 2 with 2 on pre-order.
