Er....I'm not dead? O___o
I've been so busy lately - midterms, work, research, and studying for the LSAT (Yes, I'm *finally* studying that!!!! X__X) equals no time for writing entries. That, and also my life has been very uneventful lately (not that I'm complaining) so nothing merits for me to post an entry.
I'm so glad the quarter is half over because I'm getting quite bored of my HIST 111 class. I didn't know how I managed to convince myself that I would enjoy this class when I registered for it because I usually detest history unless it's Chinese or Japanese history (nationalistic WHUT). I remembered learning this stuff when I was in high school and it was already agony for me to read through. And yes, the grade I received for that stupid essay was such an insult to me so now I'm freakin' bitter over it. What the hell man, that was by far the lowest grade I'd received for an essay. ^stabs^
Japanese Literature is very fun though even though I failed my quiz, too. Man, I've been doing so bad academic wise lately X___x. We've just finished reading the Tale of Genji, which is supposed to be one of the greatest works of Japanese Literature. While I haven't read enough Japanese Lit to agree or disagree to this assertion, I do like the story quite a bit. One of its major themes is substitution, in which you can't have Person A so you settle for Person B instead, which I always get a kick out of (NOT that I do this myself of course ^innocent look^).
That, and all the spirit possession, exorcism, poems about sakura in the Kokinshu (a collection of Japanese poems. I'm a big fan of poetry so I actually wanna buy this), and impermanence is making me obssessed over SxS all over again. Even my Naruto obssession is taking a backseat in comparison (and haha, the lack of Sasuke doesn't help).
So on Wednesday, I took out my X manga and read everything again, and yes, when I read X16, I got teary-eyed all over again. --.--;; I'm fine even when Seishirou dies, but for some reason it always hits me hard when I see Subaru's expression of complete shock and then he starts crying. And gahhh, the scene where he embraces his jacket that's stained with Seishirou's blood with that expression of longing on his face is so heartbreaking.
I always love SxS because their love is so tragic and heartbreaking, yet if you read Tokyo Babylon, you know they have their happy moments, too (which arguably makes it even more heartbreaking because in the end, you know that they were both in love with each other but neither of them knew it). They are the prime example that love can't conquer everything; in fact, it makes one so selfish and destructive.
So this past week, I've been reading SxS fics again, mostly crack and sorta fluffy fics because the pain and angst can be too much, even for an angst whore like me. ^^
I need to get my hands on TRC, for obvious reasons.
