Welcome to the NHK! 13 just ripped out my heart and stomped on it. Yeesh. And to correct some prior misunderstanding, I don't hate that series. Early on, it made me angry. There's a difference. I also said that all the main characters are vile human beings, but I say that about Evangelion too, and I like that series just fine.

( Anger doesn't necessarily lead to hate; sometimes it just leads to the Dork Side )

Good weekend, by my standards. My standards aren't normal; they're "am I making something interesting, seeing something entertaining, or spending time with one or more people who doesn't mind my presence and makes me feel relaxed and happy." I'm dumb like that ( Read more... )

In two weeks I turn twenty-nine. Yes, that's a two and then a nine, as in older than all of you put together. I'm not taking it very well. It's a combination of being constantly annoyed with the minor dental-work discomfort - which will never go away, blargh - and realizing once again that the life I lead is stunted and depressing ( Read more... )

Speaking of vanity, cripes, people. I laugh at you from the bastion of good genetics and not giving a damn. You are twenty-freakin'-two years old and obsessed with aging. That's really, really sad.

( This is probably how I got to pity vain people / Not relying on one quality to get you through life )

...because it appeals to my "woe, I'm getting old" side, my "ridiculous recall of pop-culture ephemera" side, and my "terrible taste in music" side.

We have in-house IT now. Scary. Erm. I'm being industrious right now, really.One of the newer people here thought I was "about nineteen." *cries* Something is apparently wrong with me or how I act, and I'm not sure what it is. Sure, I have a lame-ass job, and I'm not focused on spousekidspicketfence like people my age traditionally are, but I don't ( Read more... )

I was feeling kind of cruddy after an LJ conversation about how everyone considers the teenage years the most important of one's entire life and how everything else is considered boring and not worth hearing about and how at 27.9 I'm older than everyone else I know and feel pretty well washed up ("fifteen to twenty-one," says the ex's voice in my ( Read more... )

[edit: 14 more miles, just over 30 minutes. Exactly what I want. And have done situps the last two mornings, too. As of today/tomorrow, I'll have gotten a half hour in every other day for a week, if I include the ~40 minutes of DDR on Saturday (and I do include it). A whole good week. I can do this. I do have willpower! Yay!]

( I had to do the age quiz )

...people are strange.

( I'll just be withering up and dying, then. Right. )

See... I don't ogle. I don't gawk. Occasionally I'll say something stammery or stupid a la a lame comedy cliche. But mostly what I do is take note of. Mentally acknowledge. It's a step below "notice." Just like, "Oh sure, that's my type all right. Oh well ( Read more... )
