So, I've been noticing a lot over time (as I got better at it) that studying Japanese and everything has this one unexpected benefit of... helping me get the better feel for manga/anime characters? At least where their dialogue is involved. Because I get closer to the way they speak if I'm able to observe it in the original language. So of course, ( Read more... )

KHR chapter 286 is out already~
I swear, I'm starting to love IEM scanlations more and more.
Although there was no RAW for me to compare to this week, it seems very consistent.
And it read really well -- not to mention looked good as usual.
...Hmm, oddly too lazy to write rambling about it in here, though. xDD
Except... Gokudera, I LOVE YOU. He was so ( Read more... )

I really need to replace my brain with a computer for a while.
To get things scheduled for me and stuff.
Although, at my luck, I'd probably only get the blue screen of death.

( The usual writing rants. )

It's the start of a new year, so there's nothing better to cram into it than a writing meme that might remotely turn out to have been useful and/or inspiring and/or helpful in cementing ideas/styles in some vague, convoluted way some long while into the future. *takes deep breath* Okay, I lost even myself in that sentence.

Anyway, here's two writing ( Read more... )

Christmas is tomorrow...! Actually, it technically starts in... about three hours, in my time zone. And I'm strangely excited about it! Although that might be the fabulous cake I've just eaten. I think this is the part I love most about any holiday -- the super special awesome foodstuffs. Not so much the extra pounds that I need to lose afterwards ( Read more... )

Moar exam fail-rants. I love LJ, I'd probably be head-desking instead, if I didn't have the convenient outlet of posting here. xDD Okay, I'm exaggerating, but still. I ditched my English classes today in favor of studying for, guess what, Nōryoku Shiken. Difficult, right? I've been through some grammar points, the full kanji list again, as well as ( Read more... )

NaNoWriMo 2009 is finally over. Obviously, since we're all in December by now. I failed, predictably. At 16,000 which is a progress from last year's 10,000 at least. Even if not quite something I would or should boast of. xD ( Read more... )

It's the first time in ages that I post on LiveJournal! Oh, my? xD

A quick version of what's happening to me is: I've been doing NaNoWriMo, which will be over soon. And, perhaps more importantly, I have Nōryoku Shiken on December 6th. Grade three, which I expect to fail because I was a moron and didn't study half enough. xD On top of all that, ( Read more... )

I just wrote something in Romanian today, for the first time in... probably a year and a half, or two years. Since I finished highschool, I've kind of only been writing in English. xDD

Well... Four pages and a half in 30 minutes.

Damn, I'd forgotten how much I love writing in my own language.

Why does the world hate me so? Aside from pondering on killing my fellow humans almost every day and not being able to get over the fact that they have flaws and I'm so freaking perfect, what have I done to be this hated? D:

(That was a joke, for you srs bizniz people out there. xDD)

Anyway, over the past couple of days, since Gundam 00 S2 ended, I' ( Read more... )
