Miss Parekh sounds awesome. Did Henriette learn to speak Hindi? Or was she like a weeaboo in that respect as well, couldn't be bothered to learn the language of the culture she "loves"? Viola the Mad fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Oct 31, 2011 |

She knows Hindi, or at least I think she knows. I have heard her on the phone speaking in an Indian-sounding language rapidly, and to be frank I don't know anything about the language at all. For all I know she may be speaking Gujarati or Tamil. Or she could be pretending to speak with another person, who knows! One of the people she conversed on the phone in Hindi with was her spiritual husband (not Sai Baba, the other one). I just found my old private blog I kept during the time, here are some more random information that I have apparently catalouged because I am a giant sperg. Henriette's claims include: * a diploma in drama/film, graduated with honours * winning international awards for operatic singing * she was a model once for several prominent modeling agencies * she was also the model for the cardboard cutoffs for photo studios, but we wouldn't see them unless we go to Little India in Kuala Lumpur (this was confirmed false) * she went into law instead of a solo singing career (not acting, I was mistaken) in Hong Kong, which she had to give up because (conveniently) the contract was offered during the avian flu epidemic

AFAIK Sai Baba has recently come under fire since his death for sexual misconduct towards many of his followers, coercing them to perform sex acts under the guise of ceremonial activities. Although I'm sure Henriette would never believe such a thing, if indeed it's true.

Keep in mind that the attitude that creepy anime guy exhibits isn't at all unusual among the creepier male fans, although he takes it to an extreme. You see a lot of the same viewpoints on /a/, although at least there you can pretend that they are trolls and/or stupid teenagers. Like I said before, there a difference between crazy male fans and crazy female fans, although it is hard to tell which is worse.

I am not sure if I should find it comforting or worrisome that so many people have 'that friend'. I had two, but they weren't anywhere near as crazy as Dennise. I spoke about 'Star Wars' girl in an old 'That Guy' thread. She decided one day that we would be friends, because I too liked animes, and sci-fi, and I dressed SO COOL (aka Hottopic Goth). She ran up to me at Lunch and asked me if I wanted to know my true name. I'm Midnight, Raven Witch Queen of the Black Fae Folk or something, pleased to meet you. She's now the Greatx3,000 Granddaughter of Bobba Fett because her dad went to jail for something, and then he broke out and ran to Tennessee where there was an illegal boxing match and you know what -that means-. And she can kill a man with a teacup because she's had secret military training and she's going to get the CIA Agents that killed Kennedy because she's seen tapes man, she's seen em. Took a creative writing class with her, all her stories were about her Spy Soldier Bobba Fett Jedi Thing who lived in trees and walked on broken glass for training from her elderly Japanese kung fu master. Basically the plot was The Matrix + Narnia(magical dream world except the symbolism was Star Wars Symbolism, not Christian) + Kill Bill. Then there was 'Luminia' or something, her real name was Ashley. There was this game, for the life of me I can't remember it but she played it -religiously-. It doesn't matter what it was just pick your favorite japanese RPG and supplement it. There was the female character (who was not the damsel in distress) but the bitchy comedic value character. That was her, in the Astral Plane. She was married to Vegeta from DBZ (who was also the lead singer from Linkin Park). She would draw the same pictures of her character making out with Vegeta, over and over. She'd come to my house and download picture upon picture upon picture of Vegeta. Finally I put my foot down because of various other things that were stupid and trivial at the time but enough to piss my 15 year old self off. I told her to hit the road. She was possessed by a demon, named Shikai. She would make new instant messenger names and spam me with "DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH" over and over. Sometimes it was romanji stuff 'Kuro Death Death You are a Baka Desu.' At the time I found it hilarious and would gently caress with her to give me details about Shikai and what he was like. He was a Japanese Fox Demon, who came to her because she was so beautiful and was displeased with my transgressions against her. Yes she was still married to Vegeta, they shared her, and Vegeta was kinky like that and was big into demon possessed astral loving. Brimming with maturity, one of our last IM conversation was just me interrupting her death spam with "The Power of Christ Compels You" until she blocked me. Not before her last post of *HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS* Months later she emailed me to thank me, for saving her. I had channeled the healing energy of Jesus to her that day. She went to church, was healed. All was well, would I like to hang out some time? Deleted the email. Saw her the other day, she's got a kid and a job now. Good on her.

No, see, a relatively isolationist island state (with rather massive economic problems, actually. It's only been five years or so since they started recovering) will most likely not have any black people. Bah.

They're recovering? Because drat every Okinawan I talk to says that everything is still hosed. I mean, yes, Okinawa but it's still Japanese governmental stuff. Or is this you know, like the US 'recovery'? Most of the news I read isn't too hopeful either.

All of this talk of cartoons and Linkin Park reminds me of how any time I have ever heard them on the radio I automatically picture Beavis and Butthead singing. Because, well, that is what those two guys sound like. To me anyway. Seriously, just picture Beavis screaming into a microphone, "Craaaaawling in my skiiiiiiin!!". I'm loving the stories here, especially the ones about Denise. Having never known anyone like this in real life it just blows my mind and makes me think something is broken in this chicks head and she seriously needs to be on some kind of medication. It does however remind me of when me and a few friends thought we were vampires. This lasted for a few days, maybe a week. You know, when we were nine.

So if all of us had one of "those friends," what are the odds that every one of those friends came up with this same crazy story on their own? What if it's not a crazy story. What if they were telling the truth this whole time?

Hoover Dam posted:Nope--Sai Baba and Hare Krishnas are different groups. They do, however, both inspire Indian-weeaboo-ism among western devotees. It's not really the same thing at all. Hare Krishnas belong to a religious organization that deliberately recruits people all over the world, including westerners. It's not really the same thing as a "fandom" and it's not really any different than people in India who are Christian priests and wear the appropriate robes etc.

Listening to some IAM and paying attention to the lyrics, or visiting a banlieue would do them the world of good.

It's not really the same thing as a "fandom" and it's not really any different than people in India who are Christian priests and wear the appropriate robes etc. I think the confusion stems from the fact that actual Indians tend to look down on Hare Krishna followers; specifically white westerners, since it looks like a romanticized Hindu sect that's been perverted along with Yoga and this new craze of *'chai tea' into our own weaboo thing, much like how the average Japanese person probably feels when he sees a crazed anime-fan trying to act Japanese based off their favorite anime, while knowing nothing else about Japanese culture. I personally have no problem with it all, and have a (white) friend who's become very interested in Hinduism and has mentioned becoming a Hare Krishna follower to me before. There's certainly a difference between researching the religion and getting involved with a temple/community because it interests you, and learning a few yoga poses to seem ~*~spiritual~*~ as your only knowledge of India. It doesn't help that certain groups in the West will purposefully hype up certain elements as being very mystical and spiritual to attract recruits, whilst completely ignoring the rest of the religion/culture. Doesn't mean that the entire movement is like this, though, but that's how it tends to come across to Indians. *'chai' is the generic word for tea in most Indian languages, so calling it 'chai tea' is redundant and kinda funny.

Struggling to learn the language, hoarding every food/drink/cultural item I can, desperately want to go there, love the music and media and etc etc etc I'm a horrible person.

There's a difference between really liking/loving a culture and being a *-aboo. Considering how little European culture the US gets (I'm just assuming you're a US goon  ) directly from Europe, I'd probably hoard all the spatzel I could too, if I was a fan.So maybe you're a little bit of a "Deutschaboo" but you aren't expecting to go over there and the whole country be made of oompah music and folks running around in stereotypical oktoberfest clothes and stuff. Weeaboos generally really do think anime=Japan. E: All that said, I wanna go too. The dog training over there is a hell of an experience

It sounds a lot like rijsttafel, the Dutch-Indonesian version thereof. I've only made one of those once, though, when we had like 20 of our friends round to watch one of Holland's World Cup games and I had an excuse to make one over the course of a few days, keeping things ready in the fridge. I can't imagine doing it for nearly every meal, though. You really must be a kickin' chef!

Also @ the -aboo discussion above: I guess that makes me a Romaboo or Parthiaboo. The Roman military are the poo poo, Constantinople was as awesome a city as it could get in its time, and Cataphracts are sexy beasts.
