The non-dumb-name out: You look circumcised

EVERYONE MUST PARTAKE IN COSTUME TIME OR I WILL ANNOY THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF ANYONE WHO DOESN'T UNTIL THEY CRACK AND END SQUALLING LIKE LITTLE BABY ON FLOOR!!!!!

Eh. I'll abide.

Also, best gif in the history of gifs.

All that Darcsen tsuntsun, ALL OF IT.

Spoiler warning:

Haha, me neither. I can't actually make good signatures / avatars, and just wind up making dumb stuff in Paint, so it's only worth doing if I have a good (read: stupid) idea that can be accomplished without any artistic talent at all. And no ideas really came to me this year like they did over the last few.

Is it normal for some Japanese people to not use Katakana when posting online on like youtube/twitter/forums when they should?

That was fabulous.

Post an example? But yeah, it's normal to mix up all the kana. You'll also see them use katakana for expressions that are normally written in hiragana or kanji.

I don't know what I was on when I made those themes. But I want more of it.

Very common. A lot of Japanese people think hiragana is kind of cute, and will throw it around quite often online in places where it doesn't technically belong. Especially girls.

I'll look for one now, it's something I've noticed a few time in the past and since I was you and Elin active I thought maybe one of you would be able to share some insight.

This explains a lot of things, especially a few album titles iirc that had hiragana that seems like it was supposed to be katagana.

Stuff.

It's actually fairly hard to find an example when I'm looking directly for one.

The opposite can also happen. If I may pimp my own video on here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YQffnEho-I), a good example is what transpires at 2:52 with the use of です, changing it to デス（カ）. It all makes it appear more rough/masculine in a way.

There's all sorts of ways hiragana and katakana are used so don't be too alarmed when you see something like that.
