		<description>Do you seem to feel anxious lately? Well &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sanriotown.com/psycho/psycho6/psycho6_us.htm&quot;&gt;answer a few questions&lt;/a&gt;, and Hello Kitty will provide a psychological analysis for you!&lt;br /&gt;
This is just a bit scary. The questions are a little bizarre, too.</description>

		<description>I&apos;m easily stressed, but all I need is a little exercise and karaoke. The Kitty knows all. I will leave work this minute and run all the way to the karaoke bar.</description>

		<description>&quot;You are a serious person always able to control your temper.&quot;

Untrue. SO untrue.

But then, it&apos;s Hello Kitty. I did what I always do: looked at the pretty pictures.  :)</description>

		<description>That was pretty weird, but it did do a decent job of profiling me. Actually, I thought it was someone appropriating Hello Kitty for kitschy purposes, but then I realized it was on a Sanrio site. The I realized it&apos;s a whole freakin&apos; Sanrio community! I had to at least take a look...&lt;br&gt;Username: genericuser&lt;br&gt;PW: genericuser&lt;br&gt; The thing about magazines in the convenience store is a Japanese thing called &quot;tachiyomi,&quot; lit. standing-reading. There is no shame in standing in a bookstore or convenience store and reading a magazine cover-to-cover if you feel like it, and many do. How about where you live?</description>

In Australia the shopkeepers will invariably break your kneecaps and feed you to the police if you try this.</description>

Well, maybe there should be if you&apos;re standing around reading an entire Hello Kitty magazine and you&apos;re not a 12-year-old girl.

But isn&apos;t Sanrio a Caribbean animal-sacrifice religion? Poor kitty.</description>

		<description>Spinning purple flowers and lazy translation stress me out. 

Although, as long as I am in the natural environment, I will be peaceful to resove any problems.

(to the magazine question: I used to be a convenience store clerk, and while they weren&apos;t technically hurting anything, I didn&apos;t like people standing there reading magazines. For one, they got the pages all funky and made the magazines harder to sell, and for another we couldn&apos;t smoke with people in the store.)</description>

		<description>&quot;Watch your mouth since you possibly over-expressed which would cause others unhappy.&quot;

Having now realised the error of my ways, I would like to apologise to everybody for my previous behaviour.</description>

Actually, it was in Kyoto that I was freaked out by two ten to twelve year old girls standing in a convenience store browsing through hardcore porn. I&apos;m sure that this is the exception rather than the rule, but it was still fairly frightening.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;have they tried using it with the criminally insane?&lt;/i&gt;

I would hazard a guess that this testing is currently in progress... (runs, ducks for cover.)</description>

		<description>No matter how much I try to decieve Hello Kitty, she still says I have a fair stress level. 

Spottie Dottie would never be that cruel.

Obviously the best places to stand and look at magazines is where the clerks post up little handwritten signs asking you not to do same.</description>

		<description>If I deal with high stress, I will become quiet and fear my surroundings. For this type playing with pet will help me release the tension.


Guess I need to find a leash for my gecko after all...</description>

		<description>Hello Head-Shrinker says I am a cheerful person and never worry about stress.  When I do find stress, I need to do some gardening.  I do that all the time, so I demanded my money back since the kitty told me nothing new.  The kitty just purred and I grilled her and ate the stupid furball with some wild rice.</description>

		<description>&quot;&lt;b&gt;You easily feel stressful.&lt;/b&gt;
Only with a little bit of additional work plus controlling your temper, you would then lose energy.
Not only would you accumulate your stress, you are weak to release it.
For this type exercise and Karaoke will be the best way.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;What?!?!?&lt;/i&gt;</description>
