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)
amael_elen. I don't normally do this kind of meme but what the heck. Fill it out shite kudasai? (YEAH I AM ACING JAPANESE II)
YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST!:
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!

I know, man. I have to work on the hard stuff. It's just... well, hard. :\ I did talk to one of my professors today, though, and I'm going to try to work on it outside of class. So.
09. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Do we want to?
Well, we've met outside of LJ! I'd love to see you again sometime, though. Maybe if you're going to Anime Boston next year?
Heck yes I am going to Anime Boston. Are you going? Because that will be incredibly awesome. :D :D
10. What's your philosophy on life?
The world may not be kind, but it sure is pretty.
I like this. It's all realistic. :|a
13. What is your favorite memory of us?
Camp in general. ;u; I loved how we met at the poetry reading thing, watching you guys Hare Hare Yukai it up, our computer lab trips... idk, everything was just too fun.
AGREEMENT <3
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you:
I didn't talk until I was five years old!
That is weird and kind of cool. Why not?
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you?
Probably not in my journal, but you can fill it out in a reply to this!! I'd love to see your answers! o/
I'll repost my answers to the first one in a new reply. Changing the you-specific ones, of course. :B
DKSFJSDKF SORRY THIS IS SO LATE!! Also, too lazy to log out of rping account again
10. Thanks! My primary life philosophy is actually "All is one, one is all," but I feel a little silly having my life wisdom decided by a manga series. Even... if it's a really damn good one.
15. I dunno, actually. My parents were actually worried that something was wrong with me and took me to the doctor for a hearing test and stuff like that, but they found nothing wrong with me. I'm guessing I was just like, too lazy to talk or something, LOL. Though, I can't remember any of this since I don't recall any memories of before I started talking.
my response is later ffff *bad friend*
10. Dude there is nothing wrong with being inspired by manga series. Some of them are absolutely excellent.
15. Being lazy is probably the best reason for not talking ever.
S'FINE!! we can just have a BAD ROMANCE together o9
10. Yeah, you're right. FMA is just one boss of a manga series, after all.
i'm 0k with this ♠♠♠
i want your ♠ BLACK ROMANCE ♠
I'M GOING TO TRY MY BEST!! o9 I'm planning to replicate the headphones too, though obviously not doing the holographic computer stuff, lol. And I hear that it's actually a cape with a hood. Might have to go with cape for the actual costume though, since... I have no idea how to sew up a hood like that.
Re: i want your ♠ BLACK ROMANCE ♠
I have seen it a couple different ways but yeah, I like the cape hood idea. And I love that picture ffff. But I am sure however you do it will be awesome~!
no subject
Yeah, I'm actually taking a slight homework detour to google methods of making hoods, and I think I'll try it. It'll probably turn out horrendous b-but IT'S THE EFFORT THAT COUNTS, RIGHT? ;;;
