So. Hey. I've been neglecting this site. Oops?

Guess I'll be brief. (hint: I'm not going to be brief)

1. My real life? Going great. Doing NaNoWriMo. Doing weird things to my freaky-long hair, without a single hair product besides shampoo and conditioner. Being an insecure shy girl (that doesn't go away, apparently, even when you're in a giant group of friends). Kind of missing being a freshman, because APNSL is a real bitch.

2. My art life? I've scanned all my random drawings I have lying around in my drawers. I've been saving my nicer doodles. I'll scan them and put them up sometimes in December or January as a series called 'A Semester In Doodles'. Hint: lots of zebras! I'll probably be uploading everything slowly. When did I get so lazy about this? That'll probably start in December, seeing as November is Nanowrimo, and I'm a couple hundred words behind. I probably should be doing that instead of writing this, actually.

3. So I scrounged up some courage and looked at some older journal entries. I got through two before I broke and deleted most of them. My GOD I was such a fucking moron. And this was just four years ago. I bet in four years I'll be looking at this journal entry and thinking what a fucking moron I was at this age.

4. Through a combination of my friend Diana's fannishness, the possession of a boxed set of the first season, and my mother's attempts to bond with me by doing something neither of us ever do (eg: watching TV), I have ended up watching Lost. With my mom. I'm through two seasons, and I have a few thoughts, which I will leave unspoken, because at one point I'm sure I'll feel the need to type up a long, detailed report on my feelings about it once I finish the whole thing, and now that I've remember this site exists, it'll probably end up here. Be excited!

5. I should probably be working on that Hundred Themes thing. Maybe in the summer...

6. I'm going to London this January! And then Athens! Feel free not to feel excited for me at all!

7. Some time ago, they made a Monkey Island 5, despite the doubts of certain people I could mention. I held off playing it for a long while, firstly because those games have always been a me-and-my-dad-thing-only, no deviation allowed, and also because I was really scared it would suffer from sequelitis and be terrible. It wasn't. It was so explosively awesome that it basically made my year. And it had already made my year earlier simply by existing.

8. If you don't know what Monkey Island is, you will never find love and spend your last days alone and pathetic, and also you smell bad. So there.

9. How many books do you have to have before you are classified as having a private library? Last I counted, I had 300, and I must have doubled that figure since then. And this is what I've amassed in the past two years.

10. I don't actually have anything to say for 10. I just think it would be awful to only have 9 when a nice, round 10 is only one bullet point away.

Hey, does it ever occur to anybody what a presumptious, self-obsessed pastime blogging is? It's like you're telling the internet 'Hey everybody! I think there are people out there who care about my life and what I have to say about it!' It just seems a bit vain, especially if you KEEP blogging despite the fact that nobody reads it.

...lolirony.

Anyway. My life is...going pretty good, actually. And since nobody cares about other peoples' lives unless they are worse than theirs, I will not relate why. If you actually care, I will assume that you are a crazy stalker obsessed with capturing my attention and proceed accordingly, eg: with a lot of exploding things.

Right then. This has been me, not being all depressing and unnecessarily angsty.

PS: Death Note is AWESOME.

You might be a bibliophile if...

1. Your idea of a perfect day involves book stores, libraries, and roaring fires which are good for reading next to.

2. You read during mealtimes, family times, schooltimes and all other times, such as the time that should be spent sleeping.

3. You feel naked if you leave the house without a book somewhere on your person.

4. You've read (insert book title here) five times and you enjoyed it the fifth time every bit as much as the second time.

5. You have great disdain for movies made out of books.

6. Your parents send you to a therapists because they think you're anti-social.

8. The librarian is one of you're good friends.

9. Bookstore staff know you by name.

10. You can walk into a book establishment, choose a book from the fiction shelf at random, open it to an arbitrary page, and completely understand what is going on.
