Er, I guess to answer your question... uhhh... I'm more worried about people trying to make the world end than it actually ending. >_>

Do you mean someone like the soccer fans in Egypt? But there is a report that Egypt got out of order just several weeks before that match, so it is not strange that this could happen.
Somehow, I believe that justice can conquer the evil, if there will be really someone who want to end this world by themselves if it is not actually ending, the justice force will allied and send them to the hell as their wishes.

From Megumi, I learned that maybe Mayan thought that if the 4th world ends there should be a start of the 5th, but just like we Chinese said, "If the elder is not gone, the newer will not come". Just because of this, even nowadays, many of us consider that it will be a signal that the 4th world ended and start the 5th. On the other hand, Mayan can tell many matters which really happened on that day, so those who believe them become scared of this and think that it may probably taken place. Even they can survive in that day, but what will happen to them?
These years, many disasters happened, so they guess that Mayan did not cheat them and it is really the premonition of the end of the world.
See, there's a problem to this. I told you that Dec 21st marked the end of the 4th world and the start of the 5th, according to the Mayan calendar. But, most people only know about the ending of one world. They have no knowledge of the fact that the Mayan calendar is indeed a cycle and that a "new world" would begin. So, the disasters that happened in the last decade (tsunamis, earthquakes, snowstorms, nuclear meltdowns, whatnot) are inferred as premonition of simply the end of the world, but with no suggestion that a "new world" would be born after that. In short, people only got half of the story, "Mayans foresaw the end of the world in 2012." Most people, who just hear these things from others, just never read into the fact that the Mayan calendar is complicated than... just ending on December 21, 2012.

On top of that, I don't even know the whole story behind the Mayan calendar. I just told you what I read from skimming through the Wiki page. I don't actually know what I'm talking about.

I don't really know much about what's going on in Egypt other than there has been multiple uprisings in the Middle East in general, like Egypt, Syria, and the such. I've heard more on Syria than anything recently, though a while ago there was quite a bit on Egypt going haywire. But... I guess what I mean with people trying to end the world on Dec 21 is that... instead of the world ending on its own, it is people inducing that. Bombings, shootings, riots, whatnot. People try to end the world instead. Instead of the earth going kabloom (or however it decides to die; it could go with a whimper), somebody drops a bomb on New York and make it go mushroom cloud, or something extreme like that. Or, in a more local perspective, since I doubt anyone has the power to drop a bomb just to "end the world", some kid brings a gun to school and starts shooting everyone, saying that the world is ending. So yeah, I guess I mean riots, crazy people, and the such. Riots out of control, etc.

In short... It's not the world ending that bugs me. It's people ending the world that is bugging me.

Well... this kind of goes into human nature. Are we naturally evil or naturally good? Are we naturally chaotic or naturally lawful? And, sadly, aside from all that, human nature can be affected by the bandwagon effect.

Back to the end of the world, we have to look at if it's going to be a big bang or just isolated firecracker pops... or just a whimper as the day passes.

If it's a big bang, panic and confusion will take over. People see what others are doing. Bandwagon effect will be at full force in this case. "Justice" might be lost in the confusion.

If it's just firecracker pops, in other words, isolated cases, then you might get a couple extra pops here and there with occasional people jumping on the bandwagon. This has the chance of "justice" hammering down on it.

If it's just a whimper... well, nothing major really happens. Life goes on, I suppose.

And as my usual disclaimer: I have no effing clue about what I'm talking about. I'm just going off on a tangent. I really don't know anything regarding this stuff in detail and am only throwing stuff out there just because I feel like it.

Woah... before I actually leave... whatever happened to 15k? ._.

I think I forgot to update the milestones for that. I guess I'll do that next time I remember.

An illusion in my mind.
The wolf girl, who once change her avatar as "Ciel" just because I am "Zero". At that time, she said to me, "Please come back even the end of the world".
Now, the illusion show that she is still talking about this, "Zero, don't die!"

Dammit! How could this be? I even don't know that why most of my friends consider the wolf girl as my girlfriend even that she is now in Japan and didn't back to hometown in New Year's Day.
Well, sounds like that I should really keep it for it is my destiny.
All right, before that I want to earn more money even that girl think that what's more important is kindness.

My brothers has already married, I am the only one left, if the wolf girl is really my true love, what should I do? I should wait for more than three years, but right now, my parents and other family members can't wait for that long time.

Stop it!
In my mind, Otaku is everything. I just want to have more figures, figmas, SD dolls, or some costume uniforms.
