So it's been a long time since I posted. I'm not going to count exactly how long right now since that will just make me depressed, but I know it's been over a month. I kept having these things I wanted to talk about, and there kept being more building up and then I just... didn't. You know how it is, I think. :( Haven't been commenting much either, though I've been a little better about that. So yes, I am not dead. I do not think anyone was worried that I was but you never know.

What I have been doing during this time is being in California for eight days, the Berkshires for six and Florida for five (not all of these were at once). Just got back from the last today. It was a lot of fun except for when I got sick a few days ago. I am still sick now, so, that is not great. But I had a lot of fun seeing my extended family and everything. Just hope I didn't give them my cold.

Haven't been doing much else apart from that. Playing Sims 3, mostly. I have a decent legacy going and everything. I may picspam you guys with it later. :B I did not get the latest job I applied for, surprising no one, and I think it is too late to learn to drive, so my chances of accomplishing anything this summer are pretty well down there. I did, however, have an idea for what I can do next summer, jobwise, that I thought was a pretty good one: I can learn stenography. I bet I would be pretty good at picking it up, and if I can do that and bring up my typing speed 5 more wpm or so, I might be able to break into the closed-captioning field. And if I get good enough at that, I might be able to eventually get a job subbing things. :D Fansubbing would also be a good place to start with that one. But, um, let's give my Japanese another couple years, shall we.

More miscellany:
- Saw the perfect production of As You Like It over at Shakespeare and Company, and a few days later, entirely by chance, wound up with front-row seats to the opening night of the Williamstown Theater Festival's production of She Stoops To Conquer. I had not read the latter, but it was very funny and had a great cast. I suspect it would come across as pretty dry if you just read the play, so if you can, you should see a good production of it like that one. :D
- Some bitterness toward the recent Homestuck updates, but this post is long enough as is so I guess I'll discuss that later.
- Click for the rest, as this got long. You should read them as there are recs and cool things and stuff! )

Maybe if I take the Digimon meme a couple answers at a time I can finish in the next three weeks. At least these two are fun ones. :D

Day 17: Best dressed character. )

Day 18: Worst dressed character. )

Oh my god those got rambly. I'm so sorry.

Now, since I've been somehow inspired again, I'm off to try and write some of that ridiculous Ladd/Claire I've had banging around in my head for a couple months. Wish me luck~

DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ME BEING SUPER LATE TO THE PARTY AGAIN AS USUAL

SURE YOU DO

So I spent today, after sleeping in really late and only waking up in time for anime club, watching children's cartoon shows that I wish had been around when I routinely watched children's cartoon shows. Which would of course be Phineas and Ferb and Adventure Time. The former is clever and full of musical numbers (and makes me ship het >:|), and the latter is delightfully surreal and unironic. And has Bender in it. I know everyone already loves those two shows, but if you do not, then you should watch them and you will. Promise.

Also the reason I was so tired in the first place was because I spent all Monday night not getting any sleep at the post-graduation party. Graduation was exciting and depressing, which I guess is how things like that usually are. The party was basically just loud and reminded me that I am never staying up all night again, but they did play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" at the end, which was so not fair. ;_; I WILL MISS EVERYONE.

Also while we are at it club reminded me that I miss Toonami. ;_;

Are cartoon shows an object?

Also hey have a meme

IT'S BETTER THAN IT SOUNDS!
Pick 20 titles from any media (movies, video games, literary works, etc.) and find their summaries on Better than it Sounds. Have your friends guess without cheating.


Meme goes here )

I have noticed that most of the descriptions on that page actually sound pretty awesome. :|

Once again demonstrating my skills at watching things way too late, I saw The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack for the first time today. I doubt I'm the first person to say this, but that thing is like SpongeBob on drugs. It's... weirdly entertaining. I may watch more.

Also, stuff.

Watching Slayers (the dub, anyway) is such a surreal experience because the male lead has Brock's voice. Like, exactly Brock's voice. But that just makes it that much better. I can't believe I never watched this show before, it's super fun. I really have to watch the rest sometime.

Also, even after so many years, I would still totally marry JCA. (The first two seasons, at least.) I don't even care that marriage between humans and cartoon shows is probably illegal everywhere (except maybe Guam). That show. <3

...I think I'm joking. Maybe. I hope.

I suppose I should do some kind of year-end post. All the cool kids are doing it. Um, I liked 2009 a lot. It was probably one of my favorite years that happened to me. So let's hope 2010 will be even better! :D
