[Re: A story I was translating called 「亡き友担いで登った富士山頂の初日の出」 ("The Sunrise of the New Year From the Peak of Mt. Fuji, Climbed While Carrying a Dead Friend"), and yes it is as weird as it sounds]

[16:52] Relle: Damn you Japan and your love of carting dead bodies around.

[17:01] Relle: On the way, they met a New Year's safety inspection. A policeman looked inside the car, and asked "That person, is he sick?" Before long, it was revealed that it was a corpse, but the policeman, having learned the situation, was moved, and led the way for them in his patrol car.
[17:01] Relle: THEY HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
[17:01] Peo: .....................................................
[17:01] Relle: THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.
[17:02] Peo: ...............................*has no words*
[17:02] Relle: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, JAPAN

[17:34] Relle: Amusing line on the translator's part:
[17:34] Relle: "Warau can mean either 'to smile' or 'to laugh'. (To keep this story from becoming too macabre, let's suppose that the corpse is only smiling.)"

[Re: this]

[17:48] Relle: "Sadly, I am a humongous geek. I mean, not only did I initially believe that the colon problem had to do with grammatical application of the punctuation named 'colon', but I also didn't get the Yeerk reference as a reference. It just seemed totally natural to me that everyone should know what a Yeerk was."
[17:48] Peo: XDDD
[17:48] Relle: THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW YEERKS?
[17:48] Relle: WHAT KIND OF HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD DID THEY HAVE?!
[17:49] Peo: I HAVE NO IDEA
[17:49] Peo: THEY ARE CLEARLY DEPRIVED

[Re: this]

[18:01] Relle: we should be able to sic Illyria on all sues. it would be awesome.

[Re: this]

[18:23] Relle: apparently the tree is a lie.
[18:24] Peo: ...................wtf
[18:24] Relle: since when?
[18:25] Relle: DID I MISS SOMETHING?
[18:25] Peo: I........... whaaaat
[18:25] Peo: *blinkblink*
[18:25] Relle: I feel the need to reread TB now.

[Re: VARIOUS THINGS]

[23:29] Peo: I also like reading really bad light/l fanfiction. just because it's so OOC it's HILARIOUS.
[23:29] Relle: ...:D
[23:29] Peo: although I will, admittedly, worship the person who can give me a fic for that pairing that involves insane mindfuckery instead of actual romance...
[23:30] Relle: that would be awesome.

[23:33] Relle: plz explain to Relle in small words the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath?
[23:33] Relle: I cannot find a proper explanation anywhere
[23:33] Peo: ........um.
[23:33] Relle: THAT USES SMALL WORDS FOR STUPID PEOPLE
[23:33] Peo: I've been wondering the same thing, myself 8D;;;
[much copy-pasting of information later]
[00:10] Relle: ...from what I can tell, I THINK it's saying psychopaths are less likely to show remorse for whatever the hell they're doing, whereas sociopaths MIGHT
[00:10] Peo: ...that's what I got from all that
[00:11] Relle: however, it's a topic of great, great debate
[00:11] Relle: therefore, anyone who tries to tell you that the two are obviously, distinctly different, is lying.

[00:52] Relle: ...there is decent Sweeney Todd fic in the world
[00:52] Peo: ....seriously? o_o
[00:52] Peo: it EXISTS?
[00:53] Relle: apparently so
[00:53] Peo: who would've thought o_o

[02:01] Relle: and my feed for Masa's new blog hates me.
[02:02] Peo: ....o_o
[02:02] Relle: IT DOESN'T SHOW UP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO
[02:02] Relle: he got a new blog and turned the comments off. I'm kind of amused.
[02:02] Peo: XD;;;
[02:02] Relle: no, really, you think that might be a HINT?


This can all be summed up to say: I spent half the day reading fanficrants, translating, screwing around in PSP, and reorganizing Thunderbird. Yes, I do need a life.
