My biggest regret in life so far is not honing my brain more as a child. Being more serious about studies, particularly languages. That sort of thing. I can't decide if this is really pathetic, or if I should be glad that this is the biggest regret I have at this age. I'm also just stressed about packing so sitting around procrastinating with way ( Read more... )

TOKYO IS FAKING US OUT TODAY. It felt like summer all day... Hot and sunny with a warm breeze, perfect blue skies. It was 23 degrees. That's 73 for the rest of you. The most gorgeous day we've had in months, though it will of course have been shortlived. I just. Am in love with today. And sad that in all likeliness I'll be back to wearing 4 layers ( Read more... )

How have I actually taken a walk and done shopping and begun chores and answered email when it's only 1pm, on a day off no less? This is a good day. It is also absolutely gorgeous outside, currently with enough blazing sunlight that I've got my curtain and screendoor open in the hopes of soaking up heat in the normally frigid room.

Tomorrow: Sunny / Cloudy

JAPAN. WHYYYYYYYYY.

Also, we could really use some damn sunshine.

Sauron resurrects his generals, The WitchKing, The Balrog, Saruman and more. You get to play on the evil side and ride oliphaunts, ride the wargs and basically get to play as your ( Read more... )

The weather today has been ridiculously nice. Warm, real sunshine, fragrant breezes (and not the bad Eau de Londres type either), the sounds of people being outside for the sake of being outside. I've never hated having a restricter on my window more than I did today... the windows in my dorm only open a few centimetres to prevent asshattery / ( Read more... )
