Okay, folks. I'm seriously hoping that no one that reads my blog is this dumb, but I have been following recent Internet events, and it seems important for me to say this:
MIE TSUKIKOUSHI IS NOT A REAL PERSON.
WELL, OKAY, SHE IS, SORT OF.
What I mean is, that is NOT my real name. It's actually the name of the mascot of my main site, and I appropriated the name when I began writing the blog. For lack of a better word, she's my alter ego, or my pen name, but she doesn't have a real existence off the web. In the real world, there IS no Mie Tsukikoushi. Neither I nor my fictional alter ego are dying of anything, except possibly the entropy that affects us all.
If by some miracle there IS a real person out there named Mie Tsukikoushi, she's not me, and Ms. Mie, I'm really bloody sorry about snitching your name.
So please don't send money or presents, okay? We don't need them, we don't want them, and we sure as hell don't want to be sued for mail fraud.
Don't base your life on mine or find inspiration in my life, either. I'm just a crotchety old crone and I don't want to be responsible for inspiring anybody to do anything. Read my blog, laugh, and maybe watch the movies I recommend, but anything else you do is NOT MY FAULT.
If you go out and kill someone and then tell the police Mie inspired you to do it, you're a fucking idiot and your brain is broken, and I refuse to take any responsibility for your breakage.
You know what? I meant to write this in a humorous fashion when I started, but I'm not laughing any more. I'm completely serious. This is an official disclaimer. The things you do are not my fault. The things you do are also not the fault of heavy metal music or video games, but that's a WHOLE different rant.
The only things I will take responsibility for are inspiring people to watch animation and view the world with a certain calm, rational cynicism. You know, the kind of rational cynicism that prevents you from committing evil acts.
So please don't sue me or anything. It wasn't my fault, whatever it was.
And it CERTAINLY wasn't Mie's fault. She's NOT REAL. Okay? Okay.

Wow....that is really is something, Moon. I can only imagine what kinds of things people are writing to you now that I have read this!!! lol "Sending you gifts and money"??? Were people actually DOING this, or TRYING to??? Gee....that's wacky.
I understand your frustration, if this is really getting serious and I'm sorry to hear that.
I didn't figure that Mie Tsukikoushi was your real name. Sure I noticed the Blogs are "signed" with that name, but then I noticed that your mascot is also named that and I figured okay, it probably is a pen-name/alter-ego thing; I was right!
^_' Well, I hope things aren't too bad for you but that they level off. If this is an official disclaimer too, you might want to but this with your other disclaimers, too. Just a thought..
and GreyMatter is VERY cool, I can see! ^_^

Heh... actually, Wolf, I was writing this in response to the whole Kaycee fiasco thingumbob. If you want to know more about it, you can go to the links section of my blog and go to 'Wunderblog'... she's got a fairly lengthy explanation posted.
No one's ever volunteered to send me free crap, damn the luck.

Okay, I am NOT making this up!! I swear to God this is true!! On VH-1, I think it was, someone was interviewing Collective Soul, and one of them was wearing a shirt with a woman on it that I SWEAR LOOKED JUST LIKE YOUR MASCOT, MIE!!! It looked EXACTLY like her, except it did not have horns. Okay, so it was not 100% exact, but close enough!! I was...stunned!!! It looked just like her!! You're not liscensing, are you Moon? Or is it subliminal messaging?? LOL Well, just wanted to tel lyou that. I SWEAR it looked just like Mie!! Minus the horns. -_-'
