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.
