R.I.P. Hiroshi Yamauchi
It is I. Hello everyone.
If you are friends with an anime fan or you are one yourself, you must already know about the death of Hiroshi Yamauchi. *so sad (╯︵╰) -cries-*
FYI for those other people who really have no idea, Hiroshi Yamauchi was the 3rd president of Nintendo (I'm pretty sure everyone here know about Nintendo) and was the one who developed the earlier gaming consoles such as Game Boy,
NES and
SNES. He's also the one behind video game hits such as Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda (I'm not entirely sure if he's also the one behind Pokemon)
That's like a BIG thing. This man changed the gaming industry. Well, at the very least he contributed to it (if you don't agree to my earlier statement).
When I heard this, I was kinda sad. As a child, I loved playing Game Boy. I would always bring mine with me when we visit our relatives, eat in a restaurant, go on vacation, go to the mall, ect. You could say Nintendo was a part of my childhood. It was kind of sad, like a small part in me hurt a little. I respect this man for making the childhood of hundreds of kids happier. I, for one would always reminisce and recall the times when I would play Pokemon and feel the excitement after beating a Gym Leader....
So any thoughts about this man you would like to share everyone? Did he make an impact to you back then as a child? Any thoughts or opinions of yours are welcome here.

The Blogmistress
A brief introduction of Her Royal Weirdness
Hello everyone, I go by Cossette— welcome to my blog! I'm a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Filipino law student studying abroad in Australia. I like to obsess over musicals, edgy memes, and general geekery. I spend most of my time sorting through syllabi for my classes, baking cookies, or lurking on Reddit. Since I'm on break from university however, I have also began binge watching lots and lots of shows on Netflix (what's a girl to do, after all?)
I am also that girl who is too emotional for my own good, and has a sad penchant for laughing (at myself, usually). Alas, perhaps my own peculiarity has scared off potential friends, but who cares? Someday, I will find my kin, my madcap ilk. But until then, I'll be sticking around here ┐(︶▽︶)┌

Faster internet pls
Happiness for everyone

About The Blog
A description of my little corner of the blogosphere
This digital abode of mine was established back in August 2013 as a requirement for my participation in our high school's blogging club. Thus, I scrambled to create one, The Random Thoughts of A Socially-Awkward Optimist— the very website that you are currently viewing. I've long since quit (not to mention
graduated from high school), but typing away my thoughts in this blog is rather therapeutic, and I like thinking that perhaps a smile has made its way onto someone's face because of what I write :)
“Sonder” is probably the best word that would describe all reasons why I maintain this blog. The word can be briefly defined as the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, and through this blog, I wish to be able to satiate that feeling in other people by retelling my anecdotes, thoughts, and rants, and hopefully I would also be able to lift up spirits along the way.
Life moves on and change is constant. But I want to document my experiences somehow: those ugly-crying moments, existential crises, or tears of joy and sadness. Then once change runs its course, we can all look back at these moments and laugh at our own naiveté. And hopefully, I can do just that by typing it all away in this blog.
