Okay, have to tell about a fantastically amazing experience in my English class this morning...
Setting the scene:
Was few minutes late for class (bloody early class time) so my normal spot was taken, thus leaving me to sit beside a girl I didn't really know. It was an essay workshop day so we all had to switch papers with someone. Thus I found a new friend.
The dialog went something like this...
me: "want to switch papers?"
her: "you like music?"
"yup"
"who?"
"Great Big Sea. Awesome Newfie folk band. Play song 'the night pat Murphy died'"
"oh that's from..."
both: "Vampirates!"
Thus convo continued in excited manner talking about Vampirates, other web comics, manga, anime and the such.
I made a new friend all thanks to tardiness and Vampirates. Jones you rock!

lol. No one here has heard of Vampirates, or Great Big Sea, and don't want to know of either because they're Canadian, and according to them (them being my friends), Canadians are weird (one of them regularly calls me a dirty Canadian slag, and gets me drunk so he can insult Canada and wind me up).

I think this just proves: Vampirates! = AWESOME! lol it also taught me I was the only one of my friends who didn't know about great big sea or Murphy's song. And because of that method of finding great big sea, and my friend's love of the dropkick murphys, which I think is also a newfie style band, I am forever getting the two bands muddled up  |

blue oyster cult > great big sea > all music ..guess my two favorite bands? i can't convince any of my friends to read webcomics, not even my own. V_V that doesn't take away from the awesomeness of vampirates but... alba: !!! I don't get what it is with people not liking Canadians. One of my friends was insulting them last week, out of nowhere. We Irish get just as much hate... but at least not as much as Welsh people  ! |

rosuu: my friends don't *actually* hate Canadians, they just say they do because it winds me up so much. Hence the 'dirty Canadian slag' thing. He actually once introduced me (when drunk) with my name followed by 'she's dirty', and I had to explain why he thought so.

My friend and I introduced another friend to Vampirates during class. It was really boring that day (wasn't particularly fond of the lecturer), and she and I had been quipping back and forth, because we do that (sometimes, we're like a living episode of Gilmore Girls), and my other friend was like "what are you guys ON?!" ...so we showed her.

i just found out a friend of mine likes anie and manga.
he won't let me tell anyone b/c it'll hurt his reputation (pothead/jock/basically what you wanna be)
and he won't tell me what webcomics he reads.
it's driving me crazyyyy.

I hate people who hide behind reputations.
Although, does it make me a hypocrite that I hide behind a reputation for being friendly and sorta wimpish, even though I'm really one tough cookie? I guess it does. I like to surprise people when I knock them down with my fist >:3
Okay, I hate people who hide behind reputations like what you're describing.
