Random Life Update #893463945
Hmmmm.
You'll have to pardon my grammar all over the place. Lack of sleep does not equal good grammar.
1. I changed out my icons! If anyone hasn't noticed. Idk, I got bored of my old ones a while ago, but was always too lazy to pick out new ones and swap them out. I try to save my keywords so I don't break stuff because I hate going back and re-picking icons in this journal, especially since. B| I have over a hundred of them now. What the fuck. Anyway, I'm happy with this set for now, so we'll see how long this lasts.
2. Hopefully, Dultae is coming to this corner of Missouri sometime this summer! /o/ And then there will be GAMES and NERDY GIRL THINGS. We'll probably all wind up staying at Rivendell because a.) my house won't accomodate three teenage girls and b.) it's cheaper than trying to split a hotel for a week. I am excite about this. It is going to be a NERDSPLOSION of AWESOME.
3. I am trying to pick up Rinoa and Kirk muses. I've been working on Kirk off and on for a while now, which may be why I'm actually sort of getting somewhere with him (he made a teasingly snarky comment about Bones last night in the veeeery back of my head, which was surprising, and also is progress). Rinoa is there just enough that she'll pick out songs she likes on iTunes. I'm pretty sure if I tried that with Jim, he'd be like "what the hell is this what are you into girly retro music?" Stupid future muses.
4. WOULD MY BACKSPACE KEY STOP EFFING COMING OFF.
5. I think I really am gonna take next semester off to try and get my head on straight. I kind of. effed last semester up royally (I didn't fail anything, though) and I'd like to try and get my work ethic back by getting a job and getting used to "buckle down and just do it", which I used to be good at because of marching band and theatre. Hopefully, I will also find something to work towards. Like, a degree or something. Blah blah blah most people don't know what they want to do when they go through college blah blah it's okay blah blah, but the way I was raised makes it feel like it's not okay, especially since I'm spending all this money and I don't know what I'm working towards. I am considering getting a job at the bakery part of a grocery store and learning how to not constantly burn myself while taking shit out of the oven do all that fancy-cool cake stuff. Maybe if I like that, I'll go into culinary arts or something and get a degree in pastries (IT'S A REAL DEGREE, OKAY. it's actually called pastry arts or something but I like to call it a degree in PASTRIES because how badass would that be). And a minor in creative writing. Uhhhhhh.
6. Gene needs to come back rite nao. But then, I think that's nothing new.
7. MABINOGI. I don't play it near as much as I should, but it is fun and adorable and I think I've gotten Becca hooked on it. XDD But it's awesome! It's like. .hack + RO + Harvest Moon (or Runescape, I guess, but I like HM better so I'll say that instead) + King's Quest kinda-sorta. You can do pretty much any damn thing you want. You don't wanna dungeon crawl? You can sew or cook or farm or play music and etc. etc. etc. Sure, you have to pay for pets and mounts, but it's still adorable and awesome. Also, you can talk and make friends with the NPCs. You do quests and part-time jobs for them and they remember you and stuff. It's pretty exciting, and reminds me of Harvest Moon, except you can't marry any of them. :c Also! It has an aging system. You can make a character anywhere from 10-17, and then they keep aging after that. They have a rebirth system, too! You rebirth at 20 and then apparently you can pick any age to start over from?? I'm not entirely sure how it works because I haven't done it myself, only heard vague hints from other people. But hey! <3 IT'S STILL FUN. And everyone's adorable. Unless you're a giant, then you're just awkward with a lot of badass strength and weapons.
8. Buddhism. I. ... idkkk. I should be trying harder. (I should be trying harder with everything, honestly, but.) Because it's got that attitude of "you make up your mind to do something and then you do it" kind of thing. YOU THINK YOU CAN YOU THINK YOU CAN. And then you can! ... that's what all the people make it sound like, anyway. I could really use that again. I lost it somewhere senior year of high school and the lack of it bit me in the ass last semester. And in life in general. And. Yeah. ... and yet, idk. I'm not that invested or drawn in, I'm just kind of there. It's nice to have something to go to? The people are nice? ... I'm just lacking drive in general, and though Buddhism might be able to help with that, I have to get the drive to get into Buddhism. Talk about a vicious, whiny cycle. :/a
9. Writan. hrmmmmm. I really think that once I get Saï's stuff developed, I will have a story to work with. One that I should be able to convert into pure original stuff. Anddd I think it'll be intriguing. And almost tragedy-ish, because it would be a story about his people and how he strayed from his path and got carried away in his own selfishness and everything, even if he believed he wasn't doing anything wrong at the time. idk, I think it'd be interesting to take a character and watch them deteriorate into something... else. I need to keep doing research for his culture, though.
10. BRACES. OH MY FUCKING GOD. STOP CHEWING ON MY CHEEK HALRUWEOHFLGKUR.
11. Hometrail. :|a can I plz know if I got in or not.
12. My sleeping habits keep getting worse and worse. Uhhhhhhhhh.
13. Slim Fast isn't horrible. It beats the hell out of Ensure.
... I think I'm good for now. :|a Will probably come back and add stuff when I think of it.
