Hi there. I am new to Wikiquote. I joined on February 10, 2008, but have viewed the site since long before then.

I am working on adding to the article on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, my favorite show.

I can also be contacted on Uncyclopedia, the content-free Wikipedia parody. I am more likely to reply to any messages there as I am on Uncyc on a daily basis.

I added this amazing quote to the Melancholy article, but trimmed it down under advice from another user. I reproduce it in full here, in lieu of a real user page. Gaze upon the awesome!


 * Haruhi: You know, Kyon... have you ever realized just how insignificant your existence on this planet really is?


 * Kyon (to himself): Now what is she talking about?


 * Haruhi: It happened to me... and I'll never forget it. Back when I was in the sixth grade, my whole family went out to go watch a baseball game at the stadium. I didn't really care about baseball, but I was surprised by what I saw when we got there. Everywhere I looked, I saw people... On the other side of the stadium, the people looked so small, like little moving grains of rice. It was so crowded, I thought that everyone in Japan had to be packed in there. So I turned to my dad and asked him, "Do you know how many people are here right now?" He said since the stadium was full, probably fifty thousand. After the game, the street was filled with people, and I was really shocked to see that too. To me, it seemed like there was a ton of people there, but then I realized it could only be a tiny fraction of all the people in Japan. When I got home, I pulled out my calculator. In social studies, I'd learned that the population of Japan was a hundred and some-odd million. So I divided that by fifty thousand. The answer was one two-thousandth. That shocked me even more. I was only one little person in that big, crowded stadium filled with people, and believe me, there were so many people there! – but it was just a handful of the entire population. Until then, I always thought I was... I don't know, kind of a special person. It was fun to be with my family, I had fun with my classmates, and the school I was going to – it had just about the interesting people anywhere. But that night, I realized it wasn't true. All the stuff we did during class that I thought was so fun and cool... was probably happening just like that in classes in other schools all over Japan. There was nothing special about my school at all. When I realized that, it suddenly felt like the whole world around me started to fade into a dull, gray void. Brushing my teeth and going to sleep at night... waking up and eating breakfast in the morning... That stuff happened all over the place. They were everyday things that everybody was doing. When I thought about it like that, everything became boring. If there's really that many people in the world, then there had to be someone who wasn't ordinary. There had to be someone who was living an interesting life. There just had to be. Why wasn't I that person? So that's how I felt until I finished elementary school. And then I had another realization. I realized fun things wouldn't come my way just by waiting for them. I thought when I got into junior high, it was time for me to make a change. I let the world know I wasn't a girl who was happy sitting around waiting, and I've done my best to become that person. But in the end, nothing happened. More time went by, and before I knew it, I was in high school. I thought that something would change.
