The Black Parade!
Looks like I’ll never write a full update about summer in Australia. But the photos will all come, eventually. The story’ll just have to be pieced together via the pictorial medium.As promised to Balex, here are a couple of photos from Ena’s Minoji Festival. Most of us ALTs took part. As ninjas. Ninjas. I know there is no need for the ‘s,’ that ‘ninja’ is singular and plural, but it amuses me for some reason. Probably a throwback to hockey old movies and TV shows from the 80s-early 90s Ninja Boom. Ninjas. Anyway, we were ninjas. Like so;
We were also provided with Konohagakure forehead protectors on account of the folks at the Board of Education being aware of mine and Nichola’s love of Naruto. So that was a nice bonus. I even ended up with 2. I sense cos-playing in my future…. Somewhat feasible possibilities are;
Sasuke
Kakashi (would require hair-dye!)
Sai
Kankuro
Kiba
ItachiIf you read this update please vote for which you think would work best. I shall tally the votes, duly ignore them and just be who I want anyway, or at least which hairstyle I could pull off at the time. But vote, just for the hell of it. Go on.
More pics. Don’t ask me what the green and yellow thing is. I just don’t know.
A typhoon is bearing down on Japan. May get the day off tomorrow as a result, which wouldn’t be bad. What would be bad would be having to cancel my trip to Kobe to catch up with Nathan for the first time since he got to Japan 2 weeks ago. It’s also our good friend Steve Brotherhood’s birthday on Friday and we must celebrate with games of Street Fighter and probably a fair degree of beer! Steve is turning 30. And so it begins…..

Ninja outfit is awesome. I’ve never watched Naruto so I can’t vote. I hope I get the day off tomorrow too because it’s getting awfully late and I don’t want to have to get up in the morning. going to check out those aus photos now.
Kiba would be a fun one. And you’ve got your fuzzy-hooded jacket
Let’s face it you’ll be Sasuke… and I’ll be Kakashi
@the_greatest_pip - That was my thinking too
@invisiblebalex - I honestly think you’d be the perfect Kakashi. ‘Specially now, with the hair
Hmm, I am liking the idea of Itachi, or Sai. You seem to fit the emotional roles well. Itachi due to the fact you are caring, you make no excuses about your actions, and you are kinda vengeful in terms of your friends. Put simply, you are protective.
Sai because you seem to fit the general body-type idea that I have in my head, and unnameable(as in I cant quite express why.) characteristics.
@Matthew560 - interesting you said “emotional” since Itachi and Sai are both emotionally cold characters. Well, “emotionally controlled” would be a better way of putting it. They were both Anbu and thus had to be total pros and came off as utterly ruthless and feelingless at first. Itachi is one of my favourites, though, alongside Gaara. His story arc is excellent and, when you learn the truth about him, it makes him one of the most heroic characters in the whole story. Just not in the conventional way.
@moss_icon - Yeah, I learned the truth about him some time ago. That is kind of why I equated his emotions to yours….That is not to say you are heroic, however you may be and have not told me, much like Itachi.
it’s kinda sad when i’ve updated more recently than you.
are you ever going to do one of my challenges or are you just going to keep stalking me?
@Kween_of_the_Queens - hardly think it qualifies as stalking when I’m only following the footprints you leave when stalking me. Can you stalk a stalker?
@moss_icon - it’s my browser doing its rss thing, same as it does when i’m signed in on other accounts. you know this. stalker mcstalkerface.
@Kween_of_the_Queens - no i don’t know this. i thought i was being stalked by a spray-painted chess piece
