So I haven't been as good at keeping up with LJ as I'd originally hoped, but I've been trying to read posts and comment where I feel I can.
I got a second wind of LJ nostalgia -- more specifically DN fandom nostalgia -- when I showed Death Note to my boyfriend. He's enjoying it, and we've just finished episode 25. Obviously he recognized the epicness of that episode, though he doesn't have the emotional attachment to our dear L that I have. I told him about Haru too, and I might just force him to read "L is for Legacy" when we've finished the series. I'm terrible. God DAMN it's just so GOOD! Every time I re-watch this series I fall totally in lovvvvvve. I reuploaded some old DN icons, and I found
this lovely picture for my default. It's supposed to be L, but he looks just as much like Haru to me. <33 I miss those days obsessing over this stuff with you guys. *wipes tears*
Tomorrow is the final exam for the class I'm TA'ing, and on Saturday I'm flying back to California for Christmas. This means I have just three days to grade 130 exams. It's going to SUCCCCCK. No amount of coffee and candy will be able to make it fun. But at least I'll be headed back soon for three weeks of warmer weather. My boyfriend is coming to visit after New Years, and he's never been, so that should be extra awesome. It won't really feel like Christmas until I get back there, I fear. We haven't even had any lasting snow, though it's been cold.
So many of you have been almost as inactive as I have. I want you all back in my life right now! *cracks whip*
