Fuuu...
It's funny sometimes how something you're passionate about can totally take over for a while. I have very fickle likes and dislikes, and when someone asks me a question along the lines of ‘So what’s your favourite ______?’ I have to stop and think for a long time, and more often than not I can’t come up with a reasonable answer.
When it comes to music, I tend to latch onto a band for a while and listen to nothing but that band. When it comes to books/comics, it tends to be whatever series I’m reading at the time. But it’ll pass, and I’ll move on, and then it won’t be my ‘favourite’ any more. I used to say GTO was my favourite manga… I collected all 25 volumes. But it’s over now, it’s done… my love has moved onto Eyeshield 21 and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
I don’t understand the people who create livejournal/blog/whatever usernames and layouts based on the series they like. Well layouts, okay, you can change those. But I switch between likes far too much for a fandom-based username or something like that. It baffles me and at the same time I envy them; I want to latch onto something I know I’ll be on board with forever, to the point where I could, you know, get a tattoo of it because I know I’d always love it (not that I would, but it’s the perfect example).
The things I do latch onto, though, I get very enthusiastic about. I tend to not shut up about them, in fact, which must get severely frustrating for the people I rave to, especially if they don't see the appeal. It satisfies me a bit but at the same time makes me somewhat sad because usually the things I like... no one else does.
Trish and Adrian from Tamarket used to joke about it a lot. If I began to talk about an anime/manga I was totally into, they'd be all; 'Oops, better not buy any merchandise of that series! Ryo likes it, so it's doubtful anyone else will! Lololol!' It was funny for a little while but just began to make me sort of miserable after a time because I realised they were right; things I tend to get really passionately into are just not things my friends seem to like, or want to try to like.There's things I like that they do too but...
Augh, it's so hard to word these things sometimes.
I'm really just musing. I know there's one friend I have who likes pretty much everything I do and for now it's enough. It means I can do things like squee about JJBA artwork and such and they won't simply nod and smile vaguely, but actually discuss things with me and laugh over crack. It makes me happy to know I'm not alone, at least.
This post derailed a few paragraphs back. I've lost my train of thought.
I'm taking a break from Anathema for a while. I'm not at all motivated anymore. I have too many other, real life things on my mind. I'm a little sick of sitting at the laptop all evening, every evening, and all day on weekends. It's boring. I'm boring. I don't want to do this anymore. I want to come home and sit at my sewing machine, or my sketchbook, and create. I don't want to spend hours online anymore.
I'm tired, it's been a long week. I'm going to go and have a shower, before going to bed. I don't care if it's not even 8pm yet.
