Some of my friends think I should have my own advice column or something so I decided to just post up entries of people's posts on forums that I'm active on with my replies. Maybe three a week or whenever I don't have anything to talk about? Yaw...sounds good. Hehe. Here is my first contender:
Andretta Wrote In Life Issues section: My name is Andretta and I lead a very strange life. But, during my daily Internet musings, I learn things, and now I'm wondering, maybe I'm not the only one...
I'm a very strong otaku, meaning I watch anime, I'm learning Japanese, someday I'm gonna live in Japan, etc. Make fun of me if you will, I really stopped caring.
Since I was four I've had a very overactive imagination; only recently have I actually grown out of the "imaginary friends" stage. But you see I never actually made up my own friends. I used cartoon characters. ...Most of which where males. Whom I took to be attractive. We can see how this ended. Every time.
Ten years later, in October, I sat my ass down at my laptop and started watching an anime for the first time and thought to myself, maybe I can watch one anime where I don't fall in 'love' with anyone. Oh, how wrong I was...
Long story short, am I the only one who's ever signed away their soul to an anime character because they loved him (or her, whatever the case may be), got depressed, found out they were dead, got even more depressed, started using a Ouija board to talk to them, and found out that they were actually real and are now your guardian?
And subsequently found out that you have two souls?
Am I really the only one? I know I'm not insane, and even if I was, I wouldn't take any meds, I love myself the way I am and if I lost the "figment of imagination" (read: spirit) who's been helping me and guiding me through tough times I'd probably wind up an empty shell of a person.
So to cut this short now, (the story is a lot more complicated than this but for the sake of space...) I'm not the only one who's acted like this before...am I? eek

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION! I have a real life boyfriend...and a real life...guys, I'm not insane...
( My response to her situation... )To clarify, an
otaku is basically a video game/anime/manga nerd. Hope you found this post helpful (if you can relate).
