Haruki's Hot 'n Holy Random Banter #153

Random Banter

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bid you welcome to this most glorious of threads, Random Banter! Do kindly read the rules, for the preservation of all that is good in those posts which are yet to come is of a supreme, if understated importance...
Rules

Spoiler

Show

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

Can I boogy? Am I allowed? I think I can. If so...

sorry troll, your thread is in a nother castle

I approve of this boogying. May I join?

Continuing from the last Random Banter thread.

but then why was she happy when she got tanged, but terrified when rei/lillith rose through central dogma

Who wouldn't be terrified when something specially in that state rose through your workplace.
And I guess she came to terms at the end.

Asuka: i feel terrible

Well, for one, that isn't Asuka...

As for what was said/why?

6: I recently finished 'End of Evangelion.' The ending didn't make any sense. What did Asuka mean when she said "Disgusting." It's all very confusing to me. Could you please fill me in a little if you don't mind?

I'll try... The most widely circulated translation of the last line of EoE is "I feel sick", but Amanda Winn Lee (voice of Rei Ayanami, who also directed EoE) said she asked several translators, and she felt "disgusting" was the most accurate adaptation. You could say she is disgusted with/sick of the situation or wih Shinji himself. My favorite explanation though, is this one: My husband, Matt Greenfield, directed the TV series and is very familiar with the whole Eva franchise. Matt has said that although (Eva creator) Hideaki Anno seems to change his mind frequently about what various things mean in Eva, Anno once said that Asuka's comment about feeling "sick" was a reference to morning sickness. Now THAT gives ya something to think about, doesn't it! Of course, Anno is quite passionate about the idea that every person should decide for him or herself what Eva means to them.

Oh, that would be... uh...

*BOOGIE!*

From the previous thread:

I don't recall you getting any points, but I'll be happy to oblige regardless.

Hooray!

You didn't accumulate enough F-E F Awesome points to get a drink.

HOwever, you may get a drink anyway for bringing cookies and a pavlova.

Double hooray!
Nothing like free drinks to increase one's memory.

ION:

I love showers at the oddest times of the night. Just had one, lots of hot water, no hurry, no nothing. Now to get down to writing and drinking.
And CDs.

[Rawhide]

*BOOGIES*

Uhm, no, you may not. Please do not post to this thread in order to boogie, doing so is classed as "minor spam" and will earn you a warning or infraction. Your post should be meaningful and constructive.

[AsteriskAmp]

Gendo screwed up, big time. He completely misinterpreted Yui, he had it coming.
As for Aoba, I always assumed he was a lolicon and therefore Rei was taking vengence for his unhealthy love.

And yes, at the end it was Asuka, I guess she made a mistake when posting number 6.

[Partof1]

I imagine someone simply wanted to boogy


EDIT Mod swordsage

[DraPrime]

Hooray! A new thread!

*boogies*

In other news, Allegri wrote really awesome choral pieces.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Uhm, no, you may not. Please do not post to this thread to boogy, doing so is classed as "minor spam" and will earn you a warning or infraction.

Sadness. My dancing days are over. Hmmm... Is tapdancing permissable?

[Skeppio]

Ahh, that new thread smell. *inhales* Delightful.

[Perenelle]

*gasp* New Thread!

OMYGOD YOU GUYS. GUESS WHAT.
I made third chair All-District in the top band! and since I was one of the top four flutes, I qualify for state auditions!

[DraPrime]

Perhaps squaredancing would be more suitable?

[CurlyKitGirl]

I quite like Allegri, but not as much as a few other composers. This term I'll be singing Brahm's Requiem. And I'm seriously looking forward to that as I've never sung a requiem before, and I can't actually remember listening to one in a long time.
Excitement!

[Haruki-kun]

I have to turn in a photography assignment tomorrow. I went out to print the pictures and already glued them to sheets of white paper. Having done that, since I'm in the dorm's common room, I had to go to my room to get my stapler.

So I get up, go to my room, open the door. And enter.

"....What was I gonna do again?" Unable to remember, I returned to the common room. Sat down, watching TV. "Right! The assignment. Now I need... a stapler, right."

I get up and go again. Open the door. And stood in the middle of the room. "What was I gonna do...?" Couldn't remember. I started to walk out. Luckily, I remembered right before I did. "STAPLER!"

I am now successfully stapling my assignment. Hooray.

True, there are far better composers. As far as choral works go, I absolutely love the Russians. Especially Tchaikovsky. I love his Hymn of the Cherubim.

No.

No, I have a better idea.

Don't worry guys, I got this. This is where everybody who knows me flinches

aoba was a nihilist, and apparently wasn't really close to anyone, so says word of god

I actually wanted to take Irish step dancing lessons for a while when I was younger... It never happened.

[Rawhide]

Maybe there's some new information since then, but theories at the time (including straight from ADV) were that she was an amalgam of Asuka, Rei and Misato.

YES.

My sister joined the Cadet Corp, and joined a Highland regiment. She's also a very good ballet dancer for her age and figure. She's planning on taking highland dance as soon as she can within the regiment.
