Sup. I’m Kelly.
Well I don’t have much to say besides my name. And my blog’s info is in the ‘about’ tab towards the top of the page. Take a visit =). Yup. I’m just a high school girl who’s currently living the life of an almost-otaku. You may realize later in the future why I consider myself an incomplete otaku even though I watch tons of anime and collect expensive PVC sculptures (and then take pictures of them to post a review), but throughout this blog I want to show you why. I have several minor reasons (like buying fake figures), but the #1 reason why I don’t consider myself an otaku is:
You’ll find out if you keep up with this blog 
. Haha. I crack myself up.
Well, enough about me, let’s move on to the very first post of my very first blog.
As you may have already noticed, the headline says -the meaning of “otaku”-, and you might have clicked the image for a closer look. It’s a screenshot of my good ol’ internet buddy, UrbanDictionary. I use it nonstop. Whenever my friends say a word I don’t understand I normally laugh it off or smile-and then scramble home to look it up. I like it because it’s really up-to-date. Webster’s dictionaries don’t really do it for me.
I picked the very first definition, being that it was the most popular. A very clear definition-but in my eyes, a pretty biased one. First off: “AN EXTREMELY NEGATIVE MEANING…” Okay, wow. Calm down, calm down. I understand that its frowned upon in Japan and all, but what the heck? Otakus do what they love. Doctors do what they love right? How come otakus get the butt of it? In my opinion I think there’s nothing wrong with being one. We just spend money on anime-related items instead of clothes and purses. We’d skip a couple days of school just to go to a convention. (Why am I saying “we”, I’m not one yet, so scratch that). Every thinks of them as weirdos or freaks, but I honestly admire them-they really love what they do and they aren’t afraid of doing what they love.
Man I wish I were one.
What do you think of otakus?
