This little story begins yesterday.
SO yesterday, I was multitasking: working on my final science fair paper (and getting confused by the instructions) while watching Hetalia and PewDiePie's Let's Plays. For those of you who don't know, Hetalia is a show that is not only hilarious and adorable but also educational, because it basically gets world history and personifies the countries involved. It's AWESOME. PewDiePie is a user on the YouTubes who plays incredibly horrifying videogames, has a statue named Stephano that speaks with a French(ish) accent, and screams at barrels. I finally subscribed to him last night, which makes me an official BRO. :D
ANYWAYS, the video series I was watching of PewDiePie was him playing the videogame Ao Oni (Blue Demon/Purple Troll/Blue Troll/Purple Demon), which I thought was a totally harmless videogame until I found myself unable to sleep at five in the morning because I thought that every shadow/noise in my house was the Ao Oni.
WARNING: PICTURES OF AO ONI MAY SOMEHOW RANDOMLY FREAK YOU OUT. VIEWER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
So then I asked myself a very good question: "Why do I love these videos so much when I know they keep me up at night?" Then - WITHOUT the aid of the voices in my head - I responded to myself with this huge lecture about how the young people love to be a-scared of things.
And that was when I decided that I didn't have the capacity to mature.
The next day (today), I FINALLY activated my debit card and got access to my bank account. It involved me stuttering on the phone as an automated voice asked me to repeat a bunch of numbers with me responding, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT NUMBERS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!" Not only do I now have a fear of automated voices on telephones, but I also learned that adults have overly quantitative lives. It made me sad to realize that numbers are the center of our existence, which then made me think of I, Robot, and how the robot inventors were able to quantify such bonds and emotions as obedience and loyalty in the form of the Three Laws of Robotics.
All that's left for me to be an "official" adult is to get my permit, which I probably won't get until summer because I'm lazy like that/I want to be focused on studying for school for the rest of the school year BEFORE freaking out about driving.
I have strange thoughts, which is an understatement.
If you've become suddenly interested in PewDiePie, look up PewDiePie amnesia on YouTube and watch. If you've become interested in Hetalia, WATCH IT.
