I know I haven't been posting in forever. I'm sorry. It's like I don't even know what to say anymore. I haven't been doing much fandom stuff at all (except reading Shakespeare :B), so the only thing I can really talk about is my life. And my life right now is college. So you get to hear about college.
College is... okay. It is hard being away from home and I miss people pretty badly. I have made two friends, one of whom is my roommate, although there are some people I'm also getting better acquainted with, but who knows.
I am taking Japanese II, which I though I would be pretty okay at, and I've got a decent grasp on reading and writing. But I've gotten myself into this loop where I completely freak out when it comes to speaking. Which means I looked like an idiot during my oral presentation today. I couldn't even answer the simple questions people asked at the end. And then I broke down, of course. I don't know what I'm going to do if it turns out I'm bad at Japanese. This is honestly the only thing I'm good at. On the bright side, now I get what Kurt Cobain meant when he sang "I'm worst at what I do best." So... there's that. :\
My other classes are less depression-inducing. My favorite is the one about adaptations of Shakespeare for children. I love Shakespeare and I love things I'm way too old for, so this is basically the perfect class for me. :D During our last class we watched parts of a couple movie versions of Midsummer. My notes from that consist of a half-finished drawing of Helena and the words "DEMETRIUS IS A CLOSETED HOMOSEXUAL".Come on, he totally is. Also as an extra-credit project, we get to make our own Shakespeare adaptations. I am doing a Midsummer high school AU, and I'm actually really inspired. So this has gotten me writing. Like, consistently. Which is very rare and kind of cool for me. :)
Oh, also I read the next four books of Scott Pilgrim. They are very different from the movie. Very different. I really don't know which one I like better. The books have more fleshed-out characters and super adorable art style, but the movie has a more concise plot and a Scott who is not a total jerk. So I am maybe leaning toward the movie there. Still love the art style though. 5/6 BOOKS COMPLETED
Oh hey! Here is a meme I stole from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!

Sorry that your Japanese class didn't go too hot. But you know what your weak point is, so you can work on it, at least! :') Don't worry too much over something like that--it happens. Ignore me tooting my own horn for a moment, but I'm a very good singer. Still, I mess up, I sometimes sound horrible, sometimes I forget the words to a song (in the middle of singing orz)--whether it be nerves or something else, it happens to everyone. Focus on your weak spot--you're only as strong as the weakest link, or whatever it is. |D; /lame

08. Faith, has you any? And if so, what, and if not, why not?:
Nope, I don't. I've never had. To be blunt, I don't feel the need to have a faith, and I'm a girl of science, so I explain everything that way, if you follow me. /shrug

Haha, yes, seriously.
I was born to be a hero. Rock onThanks :B I didn't come up with that witty line myself, though, I must say. /sigh I have my moments, but that wasn't it.
Really was~
YES. Even when something wasn't my fault, and there was no way I could have influenced it, I still feel bad, guilty. Like if I really cared, I could have-- I don't know. The excuses for the guilt are endless. 8|a
OKAY! SO, THIS IS LIKE, PRETEND YOU'RE DYING, DAY? AWESOME. You. Me. Skydiving. Tomorrow. Noon. Be there or be square.
