Helping a Friend to Get into Blogging

Recently one of my IRL friend got into blogging. He is a total Sentai and Kamen Rider otaku so I thought this would be a perfect place to show him how much love there is in our community of otaku bloggers.

This is kind of an advertisement for his blog, but i am just doing this out of the kindness of my heart since he is a beginner. He is the type of person who gets SUPER happy when he have 15 views a day (Many of us started that way right?).

His blog is call the Helpless Romanticist, which... have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING OTAKU. He basically blog about his one-sided love life watching over his best friend (who he love, but not sure if she likes him back). It might sound boring, but once you read his posts, his writing style really pulls you in. His posts also makes people want to cheer for him in his journey to conquest the girl (TWGOK reference~). And I believe many of us have felt the way he is feeling right now in ourlife, but did not have the confident to do anything about it. I recommend this site to many of my female comrades and they all seem to love it and can not believe a guy wrote that.

Here is a sample of his post:

Today was a day full of regrets. I was woken up early by my cousins, for it was the oldest one’s birthday and she wanted me to play with her. I had stupidly played the asshole and refused to get up not realizing the special day that it was and missed out on playing with her until she got back from SF with her family, yet another event that I should’ve gone to to be with them, but no, my refusal to wake up forced me to fail to join them. When they came back, I played with them and took them to Toys R Us to look at Smurfs toys and then play games with them when we got home. That was probably the most fun I had all day. At 6, I got a call from my friend, Adrianna, who was house sitting and was feeling lonely. I kind of wanted to go to get away from the little terrors and stupidly, I chose wrong and went to her house to hang out with her. As soon as I got in the car, I got this strange gut feeling that I was doing the wrong thing and the most rational thing in my head was that it was because I was leaving my cousin on her birthday for a girl I didn’t even like that much. But as rational as that seemed, Sophie’s face popped into my head and I began to think about Sophie and how much I cared about her and it started to feel like I was cheating on her for some reason. Even though we had no sort of relationship, I felt like I was letting her down and that it wouldn’t be the same. The entire time I was driving to Adrianna’s house, Sophie’s face kept popping into my head and the descriptions that I typed up about her in the last post began to play through my hears. I arrived at Adrianna’s house and it was boring. We sat around and looked at stupid pictures on the computer and played pool. There was little to no conversation and it was quite boring. The whole time I was playing pool, I was constantly distracted by thoughts of Sophie’s perfect face and the disappointment on my cousins’ faces as I walked out the door. All night, all I wanted to do was talk to Sophie while playing games with the kids. Unfortunately when I have returned home, Sophie was not online and the kids were already asleep. Today was a total loss and made me feel like a true asshole who isn’t worthy of anything good. But this means that I have to work twice as hard for the remaining three days that my cousins are here and not do anything else that has me feeling feelings of “cheating” and listen to my gut for the first time in my life.
