get to know meIDEK why I'm doing this; no one responds to these things anyway :/

On a side note, I'm applying for The Escapist's Anime Reviewer position-- odds aren't exactly in my favor, what with a sizeable reading base, but honestly I'd like to think that my writing is alright and I can express my opinions well enough (though this is probably not ( Read more... )

Wow.  So a year ago today, I would up in the hospital and nearly went into a hypoglycemic coma which I could've still been in.  2009 was easily the hardest year I've ever had to deal with, and probably my lowest point, so I want to genuinely thank everyone who's stuck by me through it.  It really means a lot.

The weather is getting really bad here ( ( Read more... )

WOOOO I finally have a job again-- which means that if it's in fact full-time, I might not have to worry about taking classes to keep getting insurance ♥♥♥♥  It's at Stride Rite, which is basically a shoe store for kids up to 13, and while I've been babysitting constantly for about 4 months without any problems, I'm REALLY hoping i'm not the sort ( Read more... )

So I'm at Planet Comicon ( Read more... )

Man, I'm worn out.  Yesterday I spent practically the entire day watching my cousin's kids (the twin girls and one that's about 4), and while it wasn't TOO hard they still ran me ragged, especially since I was watching them basically on my own XD  The oldest is very silly and affectionate, but even she started giving me trouble when bedtime came ( Read more... )

( Cut for self-pity and frustration )

Hmm.  Well, in spite of myself and the fact that I already have more games to tide me over for a while, I'm thinking about getting Resident Evil 5 when it comes out.  My sis and I had loads of fun with Left 4 Dead, and since this one's gonna have co-op, it'll be just as good (slightly intentionally-awkward controls aside).  Sigh.  I really need ( Read more... )

So my sister just wrapped up her basketball post-season today. After finishing the regular season 2nd in their division, she was understandably upset after this being capped off with ultimately ending up in 6th place, getting crushed by a team that apparently hasn't had any luck this season, and a bunch of douchebag refs who didn't seem to call ( Read more... )

Just got an internet-capable phone and giving it a test-run. Damn, these keys are really tiny XD

Okay yeah, I tend to avoid putting stuff on my LJ relating to my personal life, but I had to vent about this.

So my sister's in her last year of middle school, and trying to decide where she wants to go.  Ultimately she decided on this parochial all-girls school because she felt the most welcome there.  Now my Dad is the vice-principal of a public ( Read more... )
