Yeah... the title has very little to do with anything I am about to type about. But I know there are some that can draw things to it.

First, let's get the mostly boring shit out of the way. Classes are alright. EAR (East Asian Religions) is just as confusing as it was last semester. EAH (East Asian History) is no better. Though the professor is just as entertaining as the last one. The Japanese Film class is alright. I swear to fucking god, the professor is like a Japanese twin to Mrs. Oser. It is more like someone took Mrs. Oser's voice and put it into a, slightly younger, Japanese woman. It is fucked up. They do act a little alike, too. T'ai Chi Chuan is alright. I seem to be better at making larger movements than the smaller movements in my piano class. Which reminds me... I have to buy this recommended book for that class. It is nothing more than a music book with shitty songs in them. When I say "shitty" I mean that they aren't worth being played at any level. It doesn't matter if they were written for beginner, intermediate, or expert. They just suck. As for the class, it is alright. We are starting to get more into things that are nice to know if you are a music major, but are just there for those that simply want to play. I just hope that we aren't quizzed on it... As for volleyball, the only thing that sticks out of my mind is how I went to class on Wednesday just to find out it was canceled... Yay...

Now for the exciting bullshit.

Perhaps one of the most talked about anime, and most hated, in the past three years is School Days. As some of you know, this anime fucked me up a bit. I remember staring at my computer screen for what felt like thirty minutes. What was I doing? I was in shock for one thing. After I recovered a bit I wanted to grab a knife and mutilate my left hand because it felt like it didn't belong to me. Like it shouldn't have been attached to me at all. Of course for the next hour I sulked and what not. Is it really that powerful of an anime? Probably not.

Before I go any further with these ramblings, I should make mention of the background of School Days. The anime is based off of a visual novel. A visual novel typically looks like this:

Like other games in this genre, you, the player, must make choices that lead to you hooking up with a girl. Unlike... well all other visual novels, School Days features animation in the game. So it isn't something as simple at the text box and some picture of a girl over a background. Another thing that makes the game so unique is that fact that there are about twenty different endings to the game. Believe me... Disney didn't make any of these... And some of them are fucking demented. I'm a sick person, but these unnerve me a bit. Erando might be the only one amongst us that wouldn't feel much from them.

BBBBAAAACCCKKK to what I want to talk about. Both the anime and the game focus on three people (yay love triangle!) We have Sekai and Katsura, and there is "what's his face" (I subconsciously forget his name ten seconds after I find it. Anytime I have "fuckface," "dickweed," "asshole," "that fucker," or anything else that may refer to a lowlife or someone that doesn't deserve to have a name it is the same guy.) How do I present this diligently? Fuckface has a thing for Katsura. Sekai tries to help Dickmonger hook up with Katsura. Sekai, however, wants Cockstain, and thus allows him to... well... BABIES!!! I just refuse to acknowledge this part of the anime... Next paragraph! This is mostly to keep them short.

On AA someone went on to make a thread about (you guessed it!) School Days. One of the things that was brought up was the feasibility of Sekai being pregnant.

A quick clarification: Katsura is Kotohona (too damn long...) and fuckface is Makoto. As you should have read in my comment it is possible that Sekai was pregnant. The only problem, as mentioned in my comment, is that I don't know the exact time frame (or as I used time line) of all of this. I don't know how many weeks passed between (I hate acknowledging this...) the conception and the first morning sickness (something that was brought up in the anime.) Nor do I know how long it was between Sekai's announcement of this, to the time that Katsura decided to find out (in her own special way...) the truth to the matter. One of the things that both Dickweed and Katsura kept bringing up was for Sekai to go to a doctor. But depending on the time frame there may be nothing doctors could do to give a definitive "yes" to them. I don't know of the tests that they have in the hospital though. I would rather ask a doctor about that rather than look them up on the internet. I trust them a bit better than I do the internet. There are of course things like the home pregnancy test. This wasn't explored in the anime and given the fact that those two didn't except Sekai's word on the morning sicknesses and the lack of menstrual cycle, it probably wouldn't have flown with them.

Ignore this paragraph. Skip to the next one for more information.I'm going to go through the thing I think I know. Women go through a monthly cycle known as the menstrual cycle. Once every month an egg is released into their womb. Ovulation I believe is the term? If that egg isn't fertilized within the span of about a week, it dies and the lining of the womb begins to shed off. This makes room for another lining. If an egg is fertilized, it then undergoes rapid cell division. Also the menstrual cycle stops. This is were things get really fuzzy. I would have to say that within three to five weeks, the most common time for morning sickness to occur (thank the Doctor S. for that), there still wouldn't be anything visible for an untrained doctor to see. Hell, I think a doctor would still have a hard time finding it. I highly doubt doctors look with ultrasounds for a cluster of cells in women's wombs. Or are even trained to do such a thing. I'm beginning to wonder if there is any truth to a human egg being the size of a period... Whatever back on topic.

I tried to strike out the last paragraph because I was getting my ass nowhere, but seeing as that got me nowhere I'm just going to leave it until later. The problem is not what I know or what I can learn. It is the fact that I don't know where everything falls into place. If I have a better grasp on that I can figure out what to ask Doctor S. Or as Slayah calls him "The DF." Until then, I am still just talking out of my ass.

It looks like I'm going to have a chat with Doctor S. about pregnancy and what hospitals do as far as test go. Look forward to it. Until then, it looks like I will need to rend asunder my emotions, pretend I have a pair, and actually watch twelve episodes of cruelty...

For those of you that are tired of this subject (I haven't brought it up in a while, but I was really big on it here for a bit) why don't you watch it with me? There are only two conditions. One: you have to watch all of them. Two: there is to be no talking at all during it. NONE WHAT SO EVER!!!! Afterwords I might be able to say something, unless I have the same reaction as I did the first, and only, time that I watched it.
