Thanks Vexx, WanderingKnight, and Fixen. You are so getting choco cornettes from me when I get there.
Funds? Admittedly (and this is pretty bad), one of my first thoughts after hearing I was accepted was that I need to get a cute cell phone when I get there. That inevitably led to, "and definitely Kona and Kagami cell phone accessories. Definitely. Even better if they appear to be bickering". I'm actually pretty glad to see that there are people who agree with me about the seiyuu thing... I was under the impression that most people here were hearing Kona as Hirano. And the Yui Horie thing drives me crazy. She's good, but I'll never worship a seiyuu!!!! Edit: Agh! Are cornets male or female? Dang French.

Oh well I guess I don't get thanks because I just tried to scare you and all. One huge piece of advice though, and this is for real, even though things may appear to be easy in first year, by the time you are in your program the difficulty of the subject matter will have been ramped up by at least 5 times. The professors will start marking a lot harder. |

Ha, grats on getting accepted, Risaa. ^_^ Now stop reminding me I still have college finals next week to study for. >_<
I can probably count with my fingers the number of seiyuu names I know. I'm very bad with English names already, so suffice to say my memory of Japanese names may be worse. When characters share the same seiyuu, I never really accredit it to that seiyuu. It's more like "Hey, Shana is doing the voice of Kamyu!" or "Kitagawa is really Sousuke in disguise!" Kaioshin_dono's probably not kidding with that advice. First semester of college was remarkably deceptive... |

Regarding Konata's online speaking habits, that tells me two things. First that she's got mad typing skillz. Since most chat lingo is made to require less typing, she goes ahead and types complete words without regard to the greater effort it requires. But also that she has outgrown net-speak, if she ever used it to begin with. Which I find a common trait in people who have been using the internet for a long time. Excessive use of acronyms, smileys, pictographs, etc. can seem flashy and immature. That new jargon is invented continually also makes it ridiculously faddish at times. Of course, there are some people who like to overuse memes in a sarcastic way. But for myself, I find it easier to just use plain English rather than try to keep up with whatever the latest 4-letter "shortcut" is. (This is the first time I've seen "roflcopter" and though I can guess at what it means in general, I have little care for knowing the specific definition.) Although my habit of not using smileys has gotten me in trouble when people assume that because I'm not peppering my text with countless silly icons, then I must be entirely serious. Contrast this with Konata's willingness to mangle her spoken language. Seems she considers online communication more important that casual speaking. But that's more the geek habit of inserting random anime/sci-fi references when talking amongst friends. |

Haven't seen it (still waiting for EnA) but if she's shooting left-handed that would make sense. I use whichever eye is closest to the "gunhand" (ambi-uncoordinated)
She reminds me of myself in MMOs to some extent. I'll type in complete sentences and avoid all but a few acronyms (I'm also typically in-character). I type between 80-100wpm (around 60wpm if I'm being careful about typos). My only problem is that I learned to type on old manual machines and have a bad habit of using so much finger pressure I've broken these frail little things they call keyboards now. To use the vernacular: "woot" for Konata not falling prey to llama-speak

If I am casually typing, I slow down to maybe... 30-40wpm, and I switch to "slide-typing" where my fingers don't leave the keyboard and I just "slide" them around the keyboard. Strangely though... the more I try to think about where my fingers are, the more typos I make. Heh.

The old manual typewriters required considerable finger force. I'll generally keep the forefingers on F & J but the other fingers raise up in a manner somewhat like you describe. Aye.. "thinking" interferes with the flow just like any physical activity. Generally, my "mind" is considering sentence and paragraph structure and the "no-mind" is typing --- in high school the only corrective function we had was "white out" with the little paintbrush so you composed the whole paragraph in your mind before setting off (unless, of course, you'd actually done a rough draft beforehand and it wasn't 3am in the morning before the essay was due ).
Oops, the Ichigo Masimaro OVA #2 just dropped ..... so much all the other downloads for a few hours. (EnA... .... ... there's probably a shinto god for fansubbing, hmmm)

Of course, I do it by memorizing what I want to type first, line by line, of course....but without my sense of sight, I somehow know when I hit the wrong key, and I know which keys to hit to correct the typo without having to see it. |

It would be interesting to know how people type with their keyboards, if they have never used a manual typewriter before. Handphones for example. I am still amazed at how the young ones can blaze through a message via thumb-typing. Compared to them, I am like a tortoise. Cheers.

1. University was maybe the best four years of my life, not the worst. A time of great expansion. Congrats to Risaa. Sounds great.
2. I am fascinated by seiyuu, as must be obvious by now. Not paying attention to them seems to me like a waste of an opportunity for enjoyment and understanding. I was glad someone made the comparison to movie actors. I think that's correct: seiyuu are as about as important to anime as actors are to films. But sure, as far as the film or the anime is concerned, it's the acting that counts, not the actor. Everyone has different ways of enjoying anime. Following seiyuu, as artists and as personalities, is one of mine, but it doesn't have to be everyone's. EDIT: Kaioshin, I can understand how university can do what you say. It can be a big impersonal place, if you're not lucky enough to get the right friends, etc. Personally, I was thrilled to get out of high school, which was not my best time.

I tend to keep the two interests on non-intersecting levels if I can. I applaud a VA when I forget its one of their voices and just consider it the character's voice.... so its kind of wierdly bifurcated in that if I forget they're there behind the screen I appreciate them even more.
Rather like when I can just immerse into the story without being brutally aware of an amateurish writing technique or jerking the characters around like puppets - then I applaud the writers.

I haven't been paying attention to the handedness of the characters. In ep.5 at least, the twins are consistent lefties. And there's a clear example of Konata's bi-handedness: At the Hiiragi's she's using her left hand, the the next scene she's at home using her right. Her mouse is on the right. Yui is right-handed (when playing DS) and Nanako is lefty (holding chalk in ep.4). Quote:

I was typing fairly well for a few years between 7th and 9th grade. But it was all eyes-down. As part of an occupational training course I spent a day in a typing class. (Although I had an old non-electric electric typewriter, I didn't have to use it very much before getting a printer for the computer.) It was an hour course and after thirty minutes I was playing all the mini-games at the end of the expert level drills. Now my only problem is when I'm composing a word that has a similar spelling to the word I'm currently typing. Commonly "with the" becomes "withe". That and I can only touch-type my passwords, which all involve numerals and mixed-case. I know that some of the letters are capitalized, but can't off-hand tell you what it is. |
