elementalheroRL entry? WHAT IS THIS??
Declared my major yesterday. You're now looking at a future English major with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I'm doing well in classes despite my sleep schedule being shit and my self-motivation sporadic at best.
Spring break is in two weeks for me, but every single RL friend so far that I'v talked to has their break next week, meaning I am going to be a sad lonely hobo over spring break while other people are in Florida and places. No, I'm not having some first-world jealousy problems, why would you think that? (I'd rather have my friends home with me than be alone in Florida though, but I'd pick any of them over being alone and stupid at home for a week.) But anyway. "FIRST-WORLD PROBLEMS" has become my motto for when I find myself being cranky and miserable over admittedly trivial things. It usually helps get my spirits up. That or makes me in an even worse mood, since now I am cognizant of all the things I take for granted and what a horrible person I am for it.
FORCING MYSELF TO THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS OKAY. It's just because the winter always leaves me in a broken pile of emo, is all. I miss the sun. It's slowly getting brighter for longer stretches in the afternoon, though! 8D
I backed out of the Kyoto study trip in the fall. I'm not saying I'm giving up on the Japanese language, but I've really discovered that I love fancy academic English stuff more than I can possibly articulate with words, and that it might be the thing I want to do for the rest of my life. So it had really become a "go to Japan or fit in all your major-requisite classes" decision, and it sort of helped that She's going to be on that trip. So now I'm not going. I might be going to London instead in the fall of senior year. I think I'd really like that.
State of the Fandom News: have barely been caring about the Shonen Jumps lately. I think that if something really relevant to my interests started happening in Naruto again, I'd be all over it, but right now I am so indifferent to this poorly-executed Epic War plot, you guys.
I have to catch up on Star Driver, especially as we approach the 25-episode mark. I have no idea how long this series is conceived to run, but 25 episodes generally seems to be one of the major cutoff-points for anime in general.
Surprise fandom experience of the year so far: Yu-Gi-Oh! I mean, I'd always loved the Abridged Series for maximum lol-capacity, but after watching GX (that fabulous trainwreck) and rereading some of the original DM manga volumes I own (got them for like 2 bucks each at the county fair *w*), and planning to jump into 5D's after taking a short break from long-running shows for a couple weeks, I feel like this could be a really fun fandom, in that it is absurd and filled with absurdity-related tropes, which I love. I mean, I've sort of been gingerly side-stepping the fandom community itself, because I hear it's filled with ladyfail and people who take the card game really seriously (which I, lol, do not in any way), but the series itself and its various incarnations are full of all the silly wackiness I love in my animoos.
Started playing Platinum and SS again. Thinking about trading over my really beloved Pokes to SS and then restarting Platinum, but I don't really know. There's a lot of stuff to do yet that I haven't done. I'm also considering a Nuzlocke run of Sapphire. :/a /shrug I'M REALLY GETTING PUMPED UP FOR BLACK/WHITE. ALSO I GOT NEW VOLUMES OF POKESPE, but that'll have to be another entry because there are Many Things I have to say.
Man, I forgot what it was like to actually post about myself, lol |D
