I’ve made no secrets about what my passions are.

It is truly amazing how ubiquitous Kaiwaisa is; it has permeated every aspect and level of Japanese society.

I’m as “literary” as you can get.

I came to learn that the Church had a very long, very rich history.

Is what he did so wrong, so lacking in common sense, so evil, that he should be forced to resign?

One of the biggest stereotypes of our generation propagated by older people is that we are immature and lazy.

Now, the Marvel film franchise, how is it different?

Harry Potter is something no one saw coming.

It is also a really awesome watercooler where Tropers can discuss storytelling amongst themselves; I’ve learned a lot just by following several forum discussions.

Anime, unlike My Little Pony or other kid’s entertainment, is undisputedly for everyone.

Any brony worth his or her salt will tell you that one of the show’s biggest draws is the amazing amount of references packed into every episode, to other cartoons, pop culture and mythology.

I have no car and I must scream.

Can you spot the difference?

You’re no Tolkien, or Ray Bradbury or Neil Gaiman, so why bother?

I’ll never forget the night my dad died. All I have to is close my eyes and I can recall every detail and emotion: the shock, the fear, the despair.

One of my earliest childhood memories was when I was five. I was brought one day to see a child psychiatrist. Oh, don’t worry, I wasn’t much of a “problem child”.
