And I feel like a stranger from another world, but at least I'm living again
Sometime in the last week or so I passed the 100-day mark in my 365 project. Honestly, when I started it, I basically expected it to reach well....a couple weeks, maybe? A month, if I was lucky? A month and a half, if I was really lucky?
Take that, past me.
Now, I do realize that leaves me approximately a freaking million 250 days to go, but it still feels like an accomplishment. For someone who can experience shifts in beliefs or emotions or thoughts in about the time it takes to blink, 100 days is pretty much forever. If I had responsibly done homework for each one of those 100 days, I probably would have had no friends and a shitty life would have....yeah. No. Totally not worth it.
This sticking with something for once gives me hope that some of the summer goals on my extraordinarily long list (that actually only exists in my head) might actually happen. I have to say, this list is pretty awesome. A few things top it though....
- Find plants that I cannot kill. Buy some. Put in pots. Bring to residence. Sustain.
- Learn guitar. Learn awesome songs. Have jam sessions all the time.
- Buy bulletin board. Decorate the shit out of it. Bring to residence. Turn plain wall into wall of awesomeness.
- Find foods I can make without injuring myself. Write down recipes. Bring to school. Sustain me.
More small misc stuff: Avoid major injuries. Learn to navigate. See friends often. Make s'mores. Be good at my job. Watch Supernatural. Watch Supernatural again. Place at a Bluestar or Trillum show. Own my summer curse course. Share the Love.
Yeah, I should probably get crackin'.
In other good news that is now old news but I didn't post/forgot about, I officially was offered and secured a res spot, so for Fall 2010 there'll be no living on the streets required. Awesome.
Oh! I have also delved (sort of) into new territory for me - fandom. Before Supernatural I never really followed a TV show, and even as I watched the first few seasons I never thought to look for an online...anything. Cause TV is TV, right? And the internet, well, that's the internet....not TV....THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT. And now you basically understand why I struggle in life in general.
Anyway, recently I found a Supernatural Community that is everything my closet (yeah, not so much) fangirl heart needs. Seriously. Overreacting to everything that ever happens ever is the core requirement for loving (and surviving) this show, and now I have found an entire community of people who embrace that fact. And yeah, I realize that 99% of my friends will react to that previous paragraph with
BUT IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME. Because this comm? Well, this comm introduced me to the EXCITEMENT OF ALL CAPS, and the hilarity of gifs, and the impossible to escape draw of spoilers, and, well, there is a healthy contingent of them who believe that every scene without fail NEEDS MOAR CAS.
Be still, my heart.
