Wowzers.
So. How long has it been? I think my last post was about a year ago, and I don't quite understand what I'm posting now. I've sort of tried not to get back into this, seeing as how my major takes up most of my time (*coughSOULcough*). Nevertheless, here I am.
I think it all started during the icestorm we had last month. Being cooped up for a week with no responsibilities, deadlines, no commitments whatsoever is definitely not the healthiest thing, but it was probably the most fun I've had since I graduated high school. I mean, what else could I do? I watched copious amounts of anime, of course. And to add to my list of things watched, in the span of 5 days, I watched Clannad (only the first part), Ouran High School Host Club, Special A, and the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I also watched a couple of 90 minute movies, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and 5 Centimeters per Second. All of them were quite awesome, but I had to bang my computer a few times since I think I melted my graphics card in the process of my over-bingeing. I haven't watched so much anime in my life. So, having thrown myself at this world once again, I now frequent LJ and fanfiction more often than I want to since then.
Not that I'm thinking of taking up writing again... right?
No idea. But I did give my sister an ultimatum. Since I'm going to Japan this summer, I told her she can borrow one of my stories. She's the most talented pre-mangaka person I've ever known. She draws all the time and can probably start her own manga, but she keeps telling me she sucks at writing. Or that she's not creative enough to write her own plot. Therefore, I told her, she can borrow mine for the time being, Kotogakko, and that she can do whatever she wants to the characters as long as they're no longer Watsuki-san's. If I go to Japan I might as well get her famous while gorging on sushi right? Two birds with one stone. Sugoi desune? (And yes, I'm learning the language. Loving the people. And this summer, I will be living the life of an ordinary college student in a very Japanese environment. How much more Japanese can you get? I almost want to wish the rest of this semester away, but I have personal reasons that keep me from doing so.)
So writing.
I still have my plot for DREAM Project, mostly because I plan to just make it into a book once I have the time. But I don't know.
I want to start writing again, and am not about to wait until I finish Chemical Engineering until I do so. I mean, I could be stuck in this stupid major for the next 6 years. (Including grad school, of course).
Also, I think I'm going to quit sounding so juvenile on my blog posts. Really. I think those were the days when I still sucked on ketchup packs for fun. Well, theres always those things about yourself that you just sigh and shake your head at when you finally grow up a little. But I seem to have a lot of those, I think.
So yeah. Very random, very meditative post. I hope to start doing this regularly. I still like to write, despite my poor choice in college majors (I do like being an engineer though, but I just hate all this work!!! Drives me insane on an hourly basis).
If you read this through, and wasted 3 minutes of your precious time, I ask you to make it an even 5 minutes and take the two extra minutes to comment. I'd love to know people are still alive ^_~
Jaa ne!
BTdub, the last drabble I have posted on here is very raw, but I was surprised at how good it is. And I'm not tooting my own horn, so to speak. I'm just surprised at how I laid the plot out. It was like reading some Robin McKinley and JK Rowling with a twist of orange-mocha coffee. I miss that stuff, too bad Sbux quit carrying the orange syrup. What the hell were they thinking...
